Forbidden Love [student/teacher]

Party

Tick tock tick tock

Just 5 more minutes until I get off of work. Of course I love my job at the bakery, but I can't wait to go to the big party before senior year starts!

"Bailey!" My best friend Sierra comes rushing in exited to dress me up for tonight. She's tan, blond, and 5'4" like me.

"I'm almost done, just let me lock up." I say while taking off my pastel pink apron and walking to lock up the doors.

I could hear the loud thumping of the music when I walked in. I wasn't wearing anything too revealing. Just some shorts and a little Hollister shirt with flowers on it.

I walked further into the house and danced with Sierra until some random guy started grinding with her.

I got away from the drunks and found my little sanctuary in the bathroom.

You can tell I don't go to party's much. I've never drank alcohol and I wouldn't today just to loosen up like everyone else. I'm just too scared that I'll end up sleeping with some loser.

I look at myself in the mirror. I fixed my long brown wavy hair with a half bob and a slight ombré that I put in last month. I don't put that much makeup on in comparison to other girls. I do put a lot of mascara though because it complements my dark ocean blue eyes. People say that I'm pretty, but I never saw it to be honest.

After fixing myself I left the bathroom. "Bailey!?" I turned around to see who it was. "Michael! Ryan! Danielle! I haven't seen you guys in forever!" I exclaimed while hugging each one of them tightly.

They were a part of my little friend group along with Sierra. We've all been besties since 5th grade.

"Sierra told me you were here and I didn't believe her because you never come to these things! We should dance!" Danielle declared while pulling me back into the sweaty crowd.

We danced for about an hour and I started to get really tired.

"Noooo, Bailey don't leave me here with Michael and Ryan!" Danielle whined while glaring at them jokingly.

"Your lucky I even came here Danni." I found my way back out of the crowd and outside where I was met with fresh cold air. I've always loved smelling the trees filled with pine and freshly cut grass.

I stay there for about 5 minutes when I saw someone walking up to me.

Shit.

It was Jake, my ex boyfriend.

"Go away... please." I said while glaring at him.

I'll admit that he is attractive with his blue eyes that reminded me of the morning sky and his luscious brown hair... No.. I'm not thinking about him this way, not after what he did to me... I started to feel my eyes fill up with tears and I a lump in my throat.

"Well that's not very nice now it it Bailey boop?" He said while taking my chin in between his index finger and thumb. I could smell his alcohol breath washing over my skin.

"What do you want?" I said with my teeth clenched together while slapping his hand away.

"I just thought you would be up for going upstairs with me an-"

"No.. Never in a million years. Don't you know how much you messed me up?" I said while trying my hardest not to punch him.

"Babe... It think we both know that you liked it." he said. I looked up at him with a single tear running down my face.

"I hope you never find a girl that would do you and end up with just you hand to do the work." I said proud of myself with the sassiness.

"Bitch" he said while walking away.

Damn I hate him..

"Bailey where did you go?" I turned to see Sierra walking towards me with a worried look in her eyes.

"Sorry, I was just getting some fresh air." I reassured her.

A look of confusion flashed across her face but turned into relief. "Well do you want to come back ins-"

"No it's fine! I was just about to leave" I explained because Josh kinda ruined my night.

"Awe, well I'll see you in the morning to help pick you out a hot outfit for the first day of school" she giggled and I joined in.

I walked to my little black and white Mini Cooper and drove to to Johnny Rockets because homegirl hasn't eaten in a couple of hours.

I walked in smelling the scent of cooking burgers and fries. I sat down and took out my book that I was currently reading.

"Hello sweetpea what can I get for you?" asked the waiter. I quickly scanned my options and decided.

I looked up to her and listed "One coffee with a side of fries please."

"Okay coming right up!"

I was pretty into my book actually. I was at the climax where the girl's boyfriend got into a car accident. I was snapped out of it when I heard the clicking of the waiters heels coming my way.

"Here you go sweetie" she said handing me my food. I heard my stomach growling and took a bite of my fries.

As I lifted my head up to take a sip of my coffee I locked eyes with a man who just walked in. I swear my heart stopped beating for that one second when we looked at each other. It was strange. I felt my cheeks heat up as well as my ears and I could hear my heart beating.

Thump thump thump.

I've never felt this way before.

I watched him sit down at a table and pick up a menu. He looked like the perfect Hollister model. Light brown/dirty blond hair, pretty brown eyes, and a nice body.

I couldn't stop looking. He would occasionally catch me staring, and I would quickly look down at my book like it was the most interesting thing I've ever seen.

That happened a few more times before I finished my food. I hope he doesn't doesn't think it's creepy. I just couldn't take my eyes off of him for some reason. Plus he smiled at me so I take that as a win.

Trying to look as attractive as possible, I gathered my things, flipped my hair and started walking out the door. I saw him looking at me through the window while walking to my car and I smiled to myself feeling giddy.

For the rest of the night, he was all I could think about.

Hi little marshmallows :)

I'm having a lot of fun planing out this novel. I have one question though.

Do you guys like longer or shorter chapters? I felt like this chapter was shorter than others I've seen.
