Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 18: Revenge Fantasy

EMMA's POV : 

There was a lump in my throat that wouldn't subside no matter how much I tried swallowing.My brain went running a hundred miles an hour and my body was rendered motor-less.What could Zach possibly mean? As if to answer my question, my phone chimed again.

Zach had sent a photo attachment.With shaky hands, I tapped my phone to open the picture.

It was a photo of a black car parked in front of my house.The license plate showed lan’s plate.

It was lan’s car in front of my house, just minutes ago.And when I zoomed in, I could make out lan and I kissing each other on the front seat.

I almost dropped my phone.I almost dropped my entire body to the floor.

It took every inch of strength in my body for me to remain standing.

Zach has found about lan and me...and he knows that lan is a teacher at school...

I am so dead.We are so, so very dead...

"Emma, it’s dinner time.We're waiting for you,"mom called out from the dining room.

"I'm coming,"my voice cracked as I responded.

My feet were wobbly as I went to the dinner table and sat across my mom and dad.

They were being their normal, happy saves and I wished I could do the same.

But my mind was somewhere else entirely and mom noticed it.

"Everything okay?"mom asked as she studied my face , "You look pale.Are you sick?"

"I’m okay,"I muttered quickly, "I just had some things on my mind,"

"Care to share?’ Dad asked.

Sure, dad.

So I’m secretly dating my teacher at school and my ex-boyfriend found out, so now I’m screwed.

"No, it's nothing.Just...some stupid boy stuff,"I said instead.

"Well, that topic’s way out of my league,"dad chuckled lightly.

"You can talk to us if you want,"mom said kindly, but I quickly shook my head.

"No.It's nothing to be worried about,"

"We noticed you’ve been very active at school lately.Swim practice, cheerleading, and art studio.We barely see you at home before dinner.But we think that’s a very good thing.So maybe you should focus on that instead,"dad said as he munched on his steak.

"Yeah,"I gulped, "I will,"I was about to bring some food to my mouth when suddenly, my phone chimed again and I felt my heart sunk to my feet.I was afraid it would be more texts from Zach, but a small part of me was thinking that it might be lan.

So I took a peek at my phone from below the table.

Zach: You've been such a bad girl.

Shit!

 "Honey, what's wrong?"mom asked as she noticed the sudden change in my expression.

"I...I just need to make a quick phone call,"I said as I got up quickly.

"But you barely touched your food,"she protested.

"I'll be rela quick, I promise,"

I pleaded, and without giving her a chance to protest some more, I made a dash out of the dining room.

I thought the living room was too close, mom and dad could overhear my conversation, so I decided to head out of the house.

My hands were shaking as I dialed Zach’s number and waited nervously for him to pick up.
