Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

EMMA’s POV :

I had a really weird dream last night.

I was walking through a field with tall grass and I was looking for someone.

I could hear my name being called, but when I looked around, I didn’t see anybody there.

So I kept walking and walking until the sun was setting.

It was getting dark and if I didn’t get out of the field soon, I would get lost in there.

So I ran faster and faster, looking for a way out.

I tried to follow the voice, but it let me nowhere.

Until finally, I woke up the sound of the alarm clock ringing.  Sighing to myself, I checked the time and it was 7.30 in the morning.

I had an early class today, so as much as I wished I could stay in bed, I had to get up.

I grabbed my phone on the bedside table and I stared at the black screen for a while.

I turned it off last night in a fit of impulse and confusion.

lan was being weird and angry, and all I wanted was a moment to think for myself.

I was caught off guard by what had happened.

I never intended for lan to read that email.

So, I panicked.

After my shower and a cup of coffee, I was feeling a lot calmer.

I decided to turn on my phone and checked the messages.

There was nothing from lan.

I was the one that told him to give me some space.

Why was I now looking for him? Shaking my head at my own silliness, I left the phone on and got ready for class.

I had my Feature Writing class with Tristan today, and we had to do a presentation.

Normally I would just wear a hoodie and sweatpants for school, but since it was presentation day, I decided to dress up a bit.

I curled my hair, put on some make up, and wore a simple black dress and a blazer.

By 8.30 AM, I walked out of my room and found Tristan already waiting for me in the living room.

He was looking sharp in a suit.

"Wow, you look ready for presentation day,"he beamed when he saw me.

"So do you.And nice tie,"I laughed when I saw his tie.

It was a ducky tie like the one Barney wore in How I Met Your Mother.

"Laugh all you want, but it’s my lucky tie.We're acing that presentation,"he said as he got up to his feet and sauntered to the door.

I couldn't stop laughing all the way to campus.

Public speaking was always nerve wrecking.

But when I was confident about the topic at hand, I could talk for hours.

Tristan did a good job on his research, so our presentation was rock solid.

Tristan himself wasn’t much of a public speaker, but we made a great team because I could do the talking for the both of us.

At the end of our presentation, Professor Thomas complimented us.
