the minor details

rejection hurts like a bitch

                                SARA'S POV
my eyes fluttered open and immediately fell upon the angel above me. gwendolyn was still fast asleep with her arms wrapped tightly around my waist. i smiled to myself and laid my head back down on her chest. after about 10 minutes, i finally got up and went into the kitchen. i immediately saw the time on her oven and had to do a double take.
"shit. GWENDOLYN GET THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW" i called into the other room. i started rushing around trying to find my clothes from yesterday and my bag.
"well good morning to you to" she said with a sexy, husky voice.
"it's 10 in the morning gwendolyn school started two hours ago!!" i shouted, trying to put my shoes on.
"SHIT" she said, jumping up off the couch. "WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP?" she asked
"BECAUSE I WOKE UP 10 MINUTES AGO" she groaned in frustration and rushed up the stairs to get dressed.
"I NEED A RIDE TO SCHOOL" i yelled up the stairs.
"OKAY WHATEVER THATS FINE JUST GET DRESSED" she answered from her bedroom
i put on my clothes from yesterday and sat at the counter waiting. she finally rushed down the stairs with her dress unzipped and a toothbrush in her mouth. i busted out in laughter.
"well don't just stand there, help me!" she said with a frustrated tone. i walked behind her and zipped her dress for her. i almost felt her shiver under my touch.
"okay go get in the car i'll be out in a sec" she said. i went out and got in her car and turned on some fleetwood mac. i was dancing in my seat when she opened the drivers side door and started laughing when she caught me dancing, yet again.
"why is it i'm always the one catching you dancing in a car" she said.
"i don't know, but it's getting old. if you want to see me dance all you have to do is ask" i said with a smirk. she rolled her eyes and we started driving to the school. we got to school, and gwendolyn said
"okay you go in first and i'll wait a few minutes so we don't cause any suspicion"
"i thought we were just friends?" i said with a smirk
"regardless it looks pretty sketchy when a student spends the night at her teachers house." that shut me up and i got out of the car and fast walked inside the school. i got reprimanded pretty hard for being 2 hours late. i got assigned detention in miss james room. that should be fun.

GWENDOLYNS POV

i spent the entirety of the day deep in thought. this was just a slip-up. i know i said that i would keep a distance between us, but one mistake is okay. from now on, i need to actually keep a strictly professional relationship between us. although i longed for her to fall asleep in my arms every night, i knew it was completely wrong and illegal. maybe, once she graduates, i can actually do something about my feelings. but that's in two years, she'll most definitely move on. i was staring off into space, thinking, when a hand waved in front of my face. school was over and i was supervising detention. just my luck, the only person in detention was sara.

"were you thinking about me" she said with a smirk as she sat down.

"oh shut up" i huffed and got to work on my computer. she giggled and started reading a book. i actually planned on keeping my distance from her, but that didn't mean i couldn't look at her, right? i looked over the top of my computer, and saw her wavy brown hair slightly falling in front of her face, but she was so concentrated on her book that she didn't notice. her face when she was concentrating was so perfect. i subconsciously bit my lip as i stared at her, but quickly pulled myself out of my thoughts. this is going to be harder than i thought.

the final bell rang, signaling that detention was over.

"hey sara, can i talk to you for a bit?" she nodded her head and walked up to my desk.

"so, yesterday, when i was talking about how we needed some boundaries, i didn't get to finish what i was saying. you're a great girl sara, and an amazing person, but you're still my student and i think our relationship should strictly be professional. no more cuddling or flirting, or basically anything else that has happened the last few days" her face went pale and i immediately felt awful.
