It's just me and you

Chapter 19- The Game

Scarlett's POV

As y/n exits the restroom, into the field as the whistle calls her. I quickly walk near a mirror, analyzing my physical state. I need to make sure nothing looks suspicious or out of the ordinary.

I check my composure through the restrooms tarnished glass frame. I stare at the subtle yet noticeable giveaway's of my odd and different demeanor.

I study all my features thoroughly, to see if anything has changed since I first walked in here.

The light shade of lipstick I decided to wear tonight seems to be slightly smudged, I use the tips of my middle and index finger to gently wipe the excess lipstick off the corners of my lips.

As I finish composing myself, a thought comes to mind.

What's the point?

What's the point of hiding, lying, or covering up? It's not very characteristic of Colin to see any changes in my appearance since I last left, or even ever. I highly doubt he'd discover what had just occurred in this bathroom a couple seconds ago and to be completely honest, I wouldn't blame him if he didn't.

I don't even know what happened...

I mean, I do know that y/n and I had a moment and it simply escalated. What I fail to understand is how the hell did I let it escalate in the first place. I had control, I had my morals, and I had my better judgement. Why on earth didn't I stop her?

It's because you wanted it.

I did want it to happen. God it felt so good. I guess I just feel guilty that I'm hiding the truth from Colin, he doesn't deserve it. He doesn't deserve to have his time wasted, not with me.

I also have no idea how to deal with the whole y/n situation. I think I'm starting to realize that I do have some sort of feelings towards her but I have to remember that it can't ever happen, even if I want to.

I'm her teacher, our relationship has crossed boundaries multiple times on multiple occasions and no matter how hard I try she always seems to get through to me. If the administration were to find out I could lose my job, hell I could lose my license. I can't let that happen not after everything that I've been through, not after...that.

I snap out of my negative thoughts and put up a strong facade. I stand tall, taking a deep breath and raising my head high. Everything is going to be just fine. I then turn around walking outside, towards the bleachers to watch the game.

I immediately notice how packed the stands are, how on earth will I get through these people? This certainly won't be a walk through the park but I'll manage.

"Excuse me..." and "Sorry" I say as I make my way through the huge crowd towards Colin.

I continue to bump and squeeze through highly obnoxious energetic people as I get closer to Colin and to my surprise I notice that his boss is sitting right beside him. I guess I forget that he invited Colin to begin with, this is just great.

As I approach them, y/n's father seems to take notice of me, he immediately springs up to his feet offering a generous hand.

"A pleasure to see you again dear." He says sincerely as he firmly shakes my hand.

As he shakes my hand my mind drifts into the memory of his daughters hands on my hips a couple minutes ago. How I wish that moment wasn't short lived, but lucky enough nothing too serious occurred.

I clear my throat regaining my composure "Likewise." I respond.

He smiles "You alright dear? not a fan of crowds?" He teases.
