Trying too hard. (Student/Teacher)ON HOLD

Chapter 4

March 15th, 6;57am

The next morning i woke up with crusty eyes, i actually woke up a couple minutes before the alarm went off.. I showered and got dressed, it was when i was packing my bag that i remembered i would have to spend a day without Emily at school with me. Mum told me that Emily would be at school next week- on crutches of course- but until then i will have to survive!

Stepping off of the bus i looked around, not as many people again, i don't think i will eat the school pizza as often because of that food poisoning.. Ha! Who am i kidding?! I walked towards where i saw Megan stood with Abby, when they looked up i waved and tried a smile (it was obviously fairly convincing since they didn't ask any questions..) "Hey Alice, where's Emily?" Megan asked kindly, "She- uh- She kind of got hit by a car, you know, as you do.." i said rubbing the back of my neck. "She what?! Oh my god! Is she ok?" Abby asked with a gasp, "She'll be fine, hey Abby don't spread it everywhere ok?" She nodded. "Anyway Alice, a little bird told me you know the hottie new substitute" Abby changed the subject smirking. Hot new substitute? What? "Yeah you know the Art teacher we had yesterday, he was totally staring at you the whole lesson!" Megan laughed, obviously making a big deal out of nothing as normal. He couldn't have been staring at me, could he? No of course not. I'm his friends annoying little sister. "No he wasn't! He is friends with Jack, he comes to my house all the time!" I said trying to calm them down, "You mean to tell me you knew this guy and you never introduced me?! I'm offended!" Abby faked shock. I laughed and shook my head, Abby was boy crazy, she's done more than all of us put together! I faintly heard the bell go and people started walking to their tutors. Another tutor alone i guess.. 

I walked in and took my seat, i looked out of the window expecting Mike to walk past, but he never did. I furrowed my brows in confusion. "Ok everyone, let's make our way to the assembly hall now." My tutor announced, Oh of course! Assembly! Thats where he is! I stood from my seat and followed the other members of my Tutor to assembly, then Timmy McGregor walked up to me, "Hey Alice, You ok? You seem to be constantly in a daze, all day yesterday you just stared into space." He said, Did that mean he's been watching me all day..? Ok weird.. "I'm fine." I said and walked away from him, it was a bit mean i know but i swear his tongue was double the average size because whenever he spoke to me i got most of his spit dripping down my face. Blugh. I heard his footsteps quickening to match mine, "You look nice today, you don't normally wear blue t-shirts." Ok now it's just getting creepy. "Uh, thanks Timmy." 

"Oh, please, call me Timothy, it's much more formal. And you seem like a formal person." He said placing a hand on my shoulder, I mentally laughed at his sentence- Me? A formal person? Pfftt! "I think i'll stick with Timmy." I laughed, 

"Uh, yeah, That's fine too.." He said, obviously unsure as what to say. "See ya around then" I said, hoping he would leave me alone. He nodded and just stayed walking behind me. Not just normal walking behind me.. Like matching my exact steps, almost tripping me up, walking behind me. I looked around then frantically ran to the girls Bathroom. My escape. I hid there for a good minute or so and when i came out again Timmy was already turning the corner into the assembly hall. I blew out a sigh of relief. 

"Who we hiding from?" A whisper came to my ear. I actually screamed and leaped at least a meter into the air- resulting in me hitting my elbow on the wall. "Funny bone! Funny bone! Ow ow owwee!" I wailed clutching my stinging elbow. I looked to my right expecting to see Mike or someone but instead saw Mark curled over in laughter- almost rolling on the floor. "Are you kidding me?! I could have had a heart attack! What if i went all defensive and accidentally punched you in the face and permanently damaged it? What if-" His hand came over my nose and mouth shutting me up but also cutting off my air. He was talking but all i could i focus on was trying to get oxygen into me. This is disgusting but normally works.. I licked his hand hoping he would put it off my mouth in disgust but he just looked confused "My hand taste nice?" He laughed, I did the only i could then do- I bite down hard on his hand. His hand shot back immediately and i breathed in the biggest breath i've ever breathed in my life. "What the..? Oh my god im so sorry!" He said when he realised he had been suffocating me! "Its.. Oh.. Kay.." I said between breaths. He tried to hide his smirk but failed miserably. "Well we've missed most of the assembly so lets just skip it and wait somewhere yeah?" He suggested, I fake gasped at his lack of responsibility (as a teacher and all) but then the thought of being alone with him for another 15 actually made goose bumps rise on my skin and my heart beat faster. Wait.. Why??
