The new English teacher

Back to school

Kara's POV

'We can't-' I kiss her neck, she reacts by capturing my lips hungrily, 'do this.' She doesn't sound too convinced by herself though. But then she manages to push me away.

'Seriously, this is a toilet for the disabled! You make me forget about my moral code entirely, Kara!'

I smirk, 'You have the same effect on me, Ms. Luthor, because I want to do some very unethitical things to you.'

She looks like she is going to faint. 'No. No, this is bad. I could get fired for this. I could probably never get a job again. The papers would love this story; Lena Luthor, having an affair with one of her students.'

I realise now how serious the complications are. I shouldn't risk Lena's carreer for this, eventhough what we have seems worth risking the world for. But I'll be done with school in a few months so after that I'm no longer her student. I can't wait to hold her hand when going shopping or kiss her on a bench in the park.

'You're right, we can't see each other at school anymore.'

Lena looks at me with pain in her eyes. 'It kills me to walk past you and pretend to be only a teacher to you. But your friends can't get suspicious either. You still haven't told anyone right?'

I shake my head and she sighs. I bow my head, to hide my expression because Luthors are good at spotting lies.

'Good. Then this is the last time we meet in a toilet, okay?'

I laugh. 'Then I better make it a good last time.' I say as I kiss her delicious lips again.

The weeks after, all still goes well. Lena and I are a secret to the whole world. That's what she thinks at least. She doesn't know that I have told Winn, and Alex, and so Elisa as well. I just can't keep this to myself, I need an outlet. And I know they won't tell anyone. They would never.

After the whole Lex Luthor incident, people have started treating me differently. No one knows I have superpowers, but the fact that I was there, in the building along with the kidnapped people, is widely known. Lex has gotten a prison sentence for life. Again.

It's probably just a matter of time though for him to shorten that sentence drastically. That would mean he'd expose my true identity to the world. And if that happened, I'd never get the chance to live a human life if I wanted to. But those are worries for later, perhaps even never.

Lena and I meet each other every week at her appartment. I still get crazy butterflies when I look at her. Today it's thursday. This night, we planned to watch the Wizard of Oz, my favourite movie, and I promised to bring her my special chocolate chipped cookies. It's so weird to have Lena as my teacher.

'Goodmorning, Ms. Luthor.' I say with an innocent smile, knowing it makes her melt.

She blushes and gives me a firm nod. I grin and take a seat. I can tell Lena always struggles to focus when I'm in the classroom and it amuses me very much. She looks so beautiful today. She is wearing the purple suit I love so much. Lady Violet. I am snapped out of my thoughts when I hear one of the popular kids raise his voice.

'...thought your brother had a point.'

Apparently, Lena was just talking about equal rights and brought up the topic of aliens, which evoked some reactions.

'Adam, now is not the time to share your philosophies, okay?'

'It's the truth. Aliens are here to take over the world. They need to be controlled by a human hand.'

'Enough.' Lena's voice is steady and loud. I can't help but think about how sexy she looks right now, with her jaw pointing forward boldly and her eyes stern as a hawk. Adam shuffles back in his chair and scoffs.

'Why so offended? It's not like there's an alien among us right?' And now he turns to me. My heart stops. How would he know.

'Out!' Lena points towards the door but Adam's eyes haven't left mine while he stands up. I desperatly look at Winn, trying to non-verbally ask him whether he has told anyone. He subtly shakes his head, eyes as big as a baby. Lena looks at me, confused and a little scared.

When my school day is done, I walk out into a bright sunshine. Something I need after a day like this. But then I get disappointed when I am met with the disgusting face of Adam.

'Nice weather, huh?' He says while he comes to walk next to me. I ignore him while I look for the keys of my bicycle. Perfect, I can't find them.

'Looking for your keys? I don't suppose you need them if you can fly.' I am tempted to ask him how he knows but then realise that he probably knows nothing and just wants a confession out of me.

'What the hell do you want, Adam.'

He smirks in a way that works with almost all the girls. So arrogant. But then something flickers in his eyes, something dangerous. He seizes me by the arm and pushes me against the wall.

'I want you-' he presses his arm against my throat, so I pretend to not being able to breathe, 'to show me your powers.'

One thing I love about myself is that I can cry on command. 'Please, let me go,' I say in between my sobs and shallow breaths, 'I don't know what you're talking about.'

'You're a filthy alien, why else would Lex Luthor kidnap you? Just admit it. Your kind has to pay.' There is pain in his eyes and I think he has a negative experience with aliens. Then I hear my favourite voice.

'WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!' Lena's voice is as shrill as the time she demanded me to take her to Lex. She forcefully grabs Adam by his backpack and lunges him backwards. She points her finger at him while she tells him to go the department leader. He does as he is told, though his head is red as blood.

Lena runs towards me and gives me a hug. I dissolve in it but then realise we could be seen. I gently push her off.

'I know, I know.' She says and clears her throat. 'Are you okay?' She whispers, as if we're not even allowed to talk to each other after school.

'Of course I am, I'm as strong as steel, remember?'

'Yeah I get that,' she chuckles, 'I mean, did he say some nasty things to you? What did he want?'

I explain her the whole story and she wrinkles her eyebrows and looks at me with empathy.

'What do you figure his history is with aliens?'

'I don't know and I don't really want to talk about it. All I want is to eat cookies with you and watch the Wizard of Oz.' I have started whispering too since this is not the typical stuff you do with a teacher.

'Now that can be arranged. Come to the parking lot when I text you that the coast is clear, okay?'

I nod and sigh. I can't wait for school to be over.
