Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 38: Social Distancing 

EMMA’s POV: 

Normally, I hate Mondays.But, not this year.

This year, Mondays meant that I could see my boyfriend around the school, so how could I not look forward to it? I had a spring in my step as I made my way to school.

Walking down the hallways, I noticed that people’s eyes were on me.It was a weird feeling to be noticed like this, but I couldn’t blame them.

I may have gone a little bit too overboard with my new wardrobe.I was wearing this off-shoulder sweater dress that was kind of short.

Usually, I'd wear a pair of leggings with them, but not anymore.I paired it with some tall knee- length boots instead.

"Whoa, who are you and what have you done to my sweet, innocent Emma?"Carrie said, stopping my tracks.

"Well, I don’t know who she is but I love her!"Tiff followed suit.

"I'm pretty sure this isn’t up to snuff to our school’s dress code,"Mark added.

"We have a dress code?"I asked.

"Morally, I guess?"Mark shrugged.

"Guys, chill, it’s just an outfit,"

I laughed at their overly dramatic reactions.

"Oh, we are chill.I'm just not sure he is,"

Tiff whispered to my ears and motioned to the direction of some teachers walking by.lan was walking with Coach Pullman and Mr.Hawthorn.

lan was usually quiet and he kept to himself, he never hung out with the other teachers.

But today, they looked really friendly with each other.Must be because of their outing last night.When he saw me standing there in my outfit, lan almost spat the coffee in his hand.He shot me an ‘are you crazy’ look and I just smiled innocently.

"Good morning, Mr.Hayes,"I said when he was an arm's length away.

He stopped his tracks and said, "Good morning...Ms.Sinclair,"

That's funny.

Normally he’d call me by my first name.

He was about to walk away, but I quickly said, "I was just about to return that book I borrowed yesterday,"

"Just leave them on my desk,"he said coolly and rejoined the other two teachers.

"Oh, okay,"I muttered under my breath.

He didn’t even bother looking back, and he just kept going.

What the hell was that? 

Throughout the rest of the day, I had a feeling that lan was avoiding me.

I couldn't find him anywhere, and when I finally did, he wouldn't even look at me.

By last period, I couldn't take it anymore.

I took a hallway pass and marched to the art studio.I made sure that he was completely alone in that classroom before entering the room.

"Hey, I've been looking for you everywhere,"

I couldn't hide the excitement on my face when I could finally be alone with him.

"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in class,"he was sitting on his desk and he looked up at me in shock.

"Yeah? And what are you gonna do about it?"I bit my lip seductively and made my way over to him.

I put my hands on his desk and leaned down, purposefully showing off my cleavage.

He swallowed hard and sucked in a deep breath before saying, "Emma, you can't be doing things like these around school,"

"Why? Because if you’re mad, you can always punish me later,"I said shamelessly, egging him on.

"Oh, I will punish you,"he said through gritted teeth.
