Twisted Wonderland - One Shots

Look into my eyes - Jade Leech

You made your way to class in a hurry, bumping on some students while on it. Professor Trein was very strict when it came to punctuality, so you could only pray he would cut you some slack.

Knocking on the door and slowly opening it, you entered in class with your head down. You knew it'd be impossible to sneak in, even if you were as quiet as a mouse, the professor would end up seeing you anyways.
He cleared his throat loudly. "Late as usual, prefect. This is the third and last time I'll let you in after class has already started. I won't let it slide next time, so not a minute of tardiness from now on!" His voice was firm and severe.
You bowed your head even lower, shame burning evidently on your face. "Yes, professor, I'm sorry, it will definitely not happen again."

He gestured you to sit down quickly and went on with his early explanation, you nodded and felt the students staring (and some of them snickering) at you. You sighed and frowned, walking to their direction to try to find an empty seat. The only one you could spot was next to Jade, who was sitting alone.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?" You whispered as quietly as possible, not wanting to anger Trein any longer. Jade glanced at you.
"Of course." He replied with a smile and then turned his attention back to the board.
You awkwardly sat down, trying to ignore all the annoying stares coming from your classmates. It was not your fault Grim decided to get sick precisely today after eating a whole cane of tuna, even tho you advised him several times to be more prudent and take it slow.

After organizing your notebook and pens, you rested your head on one of your hands and listened to Trein go on and on about whatever he was saying. But no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't focus at all. Tho this subject could be really interesting most of the times, today was specifically boring and on top of that, you had only a few hours of sleep. You could feel yourself closing your eyes, when a sudden whisper blew on your ear.
"You should pay attention to this part, little miss."
Jade was staring directly at you and that made your heart skip a beat, as well as your eyes snap open. You looked stunned for a few seconds.
"It's going to be in the next test." He added, showing yet another polite smile.
"Oh, thank you." You replied, processing what has happened just now.

You discreetly gave him a side glance, trying to get a better look of him. He was quite handsome and his tall figure was a bit intimidating. Even so, you couldn't stop looking at him, specially since he has been your crush for a long time. You had definitely lost your focus.
Not realizing, you were now staring intensely at him, practically gawking, which naturally made him look back at you. He raised an eyebrow, a sly expression on his face.
"I guess you're not paying attention."
"Ah," you let our an awkward laugh to desperately hide your embarrassment. "I'm, it's just, well, my pens ran out of ink, so I was wondering if you could borrow me one of yours?" You gave him your best smile.
He stared at you surprised for a few seconds, then at the bunch of pens lying on your desk. A subtle smirk appeared on his lips and you could feel your cheeks grow hotter by the minute. Of course, it sounded so stupid, who would ever buy that? With that amount of pens, running completely out of ink was highly unlikely...

"Sure. One second."
As he looked for another pen inside his pencil case, you stopped to notice that this class has become a chaos. Trein caught Ace and Kalim sleeping, while Jamil facepalmed himself and tried his best to come up with an excuse to save Kalim. The professor obviously didn't like it one bit and started reprimanding all of them, which only got worse and worse when Ace kept talking back to him.

In the middle of all that mess, Jade handed you his black pen in a slow move and you nervously went to take it, but when you did, he held your hand still. You gulped and blushed.
"Thank you..." You tried to free yourself from his grasp, but for some reason, he wouldn't let you go.
"Prefect." His voice had a different tone, a strangely seductive one.
Your eyes met his. "Yes?"
"That's right. Look into my eyes..." He put his other hand on your cheek and caressed it gently. This action left you so speechless and surprised, that when you noticed what he was about to do, it was too late. You opened your mouth to say something, but he said it before you could.
