Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 40: Resume Game

EMMA’s POV:

When I inhaled the fresh cold air outside, I let out a sigh of relief.

What the hell happened back there? One minute I was dancing and having fun, the next minute I got kissed by a guy who was not my boyfriend! I didn't think Tyler would do something like that.

I clearly told him we were just going as friends and he agreed.

"But the way you danced with him, it didn’t look like you were just friends," my brain sneered at me and I felt a pang of guilt in my chest.

 "Emma, are you okay?" I heard lan’s voice and I whipped my head around.

He was alone.He came to follow me.Behind those angry eyes was a glint of worry.

"I'm okay,"I said reassuringly.

"That son of a bitch.Did he hurt you?"he said through gritted teeth.

"No, it was just a kiss,"I paused for a moment before continuing, "It was a mistake.I'm sorry.I didn’t know what happened back there,"

"It's not your fault,"he shook his head and clenched his fists.

He looked around and we were at the parking lot.

There weren't a lot of people outside but there were people outside.

He looked as if he wanted to wrap his arms around me, but he had to restrain himself.

"Maybe it was.We were dancing and —"

"Still not your fault.You didn’t want him to kiss you and he did,"

I let out another deep sigh and said, "Are you mad?"

"Seething,"

"Please don't be mad," I said softly, "It was nothing.Let's not make a big deal out of this,"

We were supposed to be laying low, to avoid suspicion.

What would have happened if lan got all worked up and actually did something he’d regret back there? What kind of explanation would we have to give? "Hey, Em,"

"Are you okay?"

Tiff and Carrie appeared on my periphery.

They were my bestest friends in the whole wide world.

Of course, they would come out to check on me.

"I'm fine you guys,"

My friends exchanged a worried look with lan, but I stepped in and gave them all a reassuring smile.

"We handled Tyler.I saw him leave before we came out,"

Carrie explained.

"Do you wanna get outta here?"Tiff asked cautiously.

It was our last homecoming dance together, my friends were looking forward to this.

I didn’t wanna ruin the night for them.

Plus, if Tyler had already left, there was no reason why we couldn't stay.

"No, let’s stay,"

I paused for a beat before continuing, "It’s our homecoming night,"

"Yes! That's what I’m talking about,"

Tiff pulled me into a hug and we started walking back.
