Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 29: Afterschool Activities

IAN's POV 

"The PSAT is useless.It's not even the real SATs.Remind me why do I have to take it again?"

Emma sighed dramatically as she slumped down on the couch.

"Because it'll help you get a feel of the actual SATs,"

I said and I took the spot next to her.

She immediately curled herself into my arm, a habit I now came to love.

"It's stupid though.And hard,"she looked up at me and asked, "Did you take your PSATs?"

"No.They're stupid,"I scoffed.

"Exactly —"

"But I was also stupid in high school.You're not.So you're gonna have to do better than me,"I added quickly and she piped down.

"You got into Emory, you can't be that bad,"

"I got into Emory as a transfer.I took two years of community college before I figured out what I wanted and applied there,"

She let out another dramatic sigh and said, "So you're saying I have to come to school on a Saturday and take this stupid test,"

"Yes,"I said firmly, "And I'll be there too,"

"You're going to take the PSAT?"she gaped at me.

"No,"I chuckled, "I’m gonna be at school tomorrow because I have a meeting with Principal Finn,"

"Oh,"she mouthed.

"What about?"

"Faculty stuff.Nothing important,"

"What time will you be done?"

"Probably around 12,"

"Me too.Maybe I'll see you tomorrow, then?"

"Yeah.

And you can tell me all about how you aced the stupid PSAT,"I said as I kissed her cute little nose, causing her to squirm and giggle.

This thing with Emma, it was getting out of control.

I didn't think I could ever feel this way before, let alone with a high school girl who was my student.

Every time I see her, I see my future in her eyes.

But that future was always clouded by the looming doom that stood before us—the school.

As long as I was her teacher, none of this would be acceptable.

As long as she was my student, we could never do this the right way.

And I wanted to do it the right way.

I wanted to be able to take her out on dates, meet her parents and her friends neot on school grounds or at parent teacher conferences.  The school was doing its annual parent teacher conference next week, along with a college fair for the junior class.

There was a high chance that I might run into her parents there and that would be... terrible.

Just imagine, I would introduce myself as her art teacher.

And then Emma and I would continue dating in secret.

And then years later, when I wanted to be serious or marry her, her parents would find out that I was dating their daughter all this time while she was at school.

Would they ever give this pervert their blessings? Fuck to the no.  I didn't tell Emma I was thinking about all these things.

She was busy dealing with her exams and I didn’t wanna make her worry.

She shouldn't be worried about stuff like this.

She was only a high school student for god’s sake.
