Chapter seventy seven

Ashton's pov

Fuck, fuck, fuck. What the actual fuck just happened?! Michael was still holding my hand and lead us down the hallway in a stressed state "you shouldn't have argued with her Ashton! that's it, I'm gonna turn her in." He said "I know! I fucking know! I'm a fucking idiot but I couldn't just not say anything about how she was indirectly talking about you! I got angry okay" "let's go. The dean needs to know about this." Michael said, dread filled up inside of me, this was the last thing I wanted to do but I know it's something that had to be done, it was way overdue "okay" I said quietly with a sigh, we made our way to the Dean's office but of course we went out for a cigarette beforehand, gagging for nicotine was an understatement.

Michael knocked on the door "ello?!" the dean yelled from the inside of his office "um..hi..can we come in?" Michael asked, I was extremely nervous "sure!" he said, we anxiously walked into the office, he stared at us confused and curious "alright?.." I said after a few seconds of awkward silence, what? I panicked "so..we understand you take problems like this very seriously..but what would you do if a student slept with a teacher?" Michael asked taking the lead and thank god that he did, I had insane dry mouth from my nerves, the Dean looked shocked "oh wow um okay, well..I guess it depends on the situation but..it could be at high risk for either one to be expelled or fired, why do you ask?" the dean asked and raised an eyebrow "um.. well..um" I attempted to say but failing yet again to form a proper sentence "well..it's happened..and we would like to report it" Michael said, the dean looked even more shocked and concerned "what?? who had sex with a teacher?!" he yelled "I did.." I said quietly with a sigh "but it wasn't his fault! she coerced him into it" Michael said "I hope you young men aren't lying. Who's your teacher?" "we aren't lying! it was..Polly" I confessed "right..well..this is a serious allegation, I'll have a discussion with her today and get back to you." He said, I'll be honest, it wasn't looking good at all "you need to take this seriously Dean Edwards! Polly is a pervert!" Michael raised his voice with frustration "don't raise your tone with me. I am taking this seriously but I need to hear her side too." The dean replied "Michael..calm down" I said, shouting would only make this worse and I didn't want him to get in any trouble either "she's already lying." Michael said and folded his arms across his chest "lying about what?" the dean asked "lying saying he came onto her when she came onto him." Michael said, I didn't bother to say much at this rate, there wasn't a lot we could do, it's not like we could prove she was in the wrong, that's one of the reasons why I didn't want it to go this far "oh really, is that so?" he asked "yes." I said bluntly "well..I'll still need to discuss things with her, Polly is a great teacher, I don't see why she would dare of doing things like that" the Dean said, well fuck, this was just seeming more hopeless by the second, I felt more hopeless by the second. Michael sighed "well just because she's a staff member you can't believe everything she says" he said "you have to respect that I need both sides of the story, I can't go screaming and shouting at her without any proof" the dean said, I could tell he didn't believe us, I wouldn't be surprised if he had heard about the whore reputation I had, it goes around the uni enough "oh fuck this." I mumbled feeling like utter shit and left the office "now look what you've done." I heard Michael say to the Dean before he followed me back out into the hallway.

I sighed heavily and started to feel rather emotional "I'm sorry" I said, I probably looked like a right twat walking out like that "babe.. it'll all be okay?" Michael said but it coming out like it was more of a question "this is why I didn't want to go and report it, I don't have proof. They wouldn't believe me over her." "But you never know, it's 50/50! he hasn't spoken to her yet" Michael said trying to think positively, she was a cruel woman, I know she will turn this around on me, I just know it. "Mhm..I guess..I brought it on myself at the end of the day. Cmon" I said and walked outside of the uni so we could have a well needed cigarette.
