I walk out of the bathroom and down the hall, almost walking straight into my Dad. I step back and he puts his hand on my arm, I quickly pull away.

"Diana, can we just talk?" He looks at me and I shake my head.

"No, we can't. Please just leave me alone." I rush past him and make my way down the hallway as I spot Charlie, he walks up to me.

"Me and Melody got suspended, I only got two days but she has two weeks. The video is being taken down and I think Miss Snow is gonna make sure it's all deleted off of her phone." Charlie says and I nod.

"And I suspect I'm suspended too?"

"No, obviously not. Mrs Daniels said none of this is your fault. It isn't, Diana, Melody done this for god knows why." Charlie adds and I wrap my arms around him, squishing him in a hug.

"Thank you, Charlie." I rest my head against his chest and he rubs my back, swaying us side to side.

"Don't thank me, chicken, we're best friends and I'll always be here for you, seriously." He pats my back before I lean back and smile up at him.

"I've got to go, my parents are waiting outside since I have to leave." He nods towards the door and I nod.

"I'll text you later."

"Can't wait." He blows a kiss before walking away and I blow one back at him, I turn around, only to see Jane walking toward me quickly.

"Diana, can I just talk to you a second please?"Jane puts her hands together and I sigh then nod, indicating for her to talk.

"I was going to tell you about your Dad and I, I knew your reaction wouldn't be good so I kept putting it off."

"You should have told me the minute you saw him, I want you to be happy, Jane, but I don't get how you can be happy with a man like him."

"He's changed, he really has."

"I find that hard to believe, I don't get either how you could do that to my Mom—"

"Your Mom was terrible, I took you away from her for a reason—"

"My Dad wasn't any better! He left me with her and he knew what he was doing." I shake my head and take a step back as Jane sighs.

"Come home, Diana-"

"No, I can't." I turn around, walking to class.

The bell rings for the last class so I pack up my things, I have detention which is...great. But, that means I'll be there with Miss Snow. I'm really overthinking it, I don't have a crush on her. I CAN'T have a crush on her, right?

I walk out of the classroom before walking towards Miss Snow's classroom, my heart is beating really fast. I've had detention the last two weeks with her, today isn't any different. I've only known her for like two weeks? But, over the last two weeks she's been on my mind a lot, I've found myself comparing things to her...She's different from everyone else.

I wait outside of the classroom as the last few people walk out, as I go to walk in, I see that she's talking to a student. She smiles at her, does she have a crush on her? Now I'm really beginning to overthink this...I should have slept last night.

I shake off my thoughts and the student nods and waves before walking out of the classroom, giving me a small polite smile, I don't smile back but I just walk into the class. I take a seat at the front table, maybe I should have sat back further away.

"You ran out of the bathroom in a rush earlier, are you alright?" She speaks up and my heart slips up my throat as if I could vomit.

"Who—I...Yeah, I'm fine." I scratch the side of my head, stuttering like an idiot. She looks up at me, oh god, those glasses. I stare back at her and her lip twitches upward and she raises an eyebrow at me. I look away quickly and start fiddling with my bag to distract myself, I'm surprised I didn't drool.

"Can you help me in the library again? We nearly have it finished." She walks around her desk and slips her glasses onto the top of her head. I drop my bag and nod.

"Yeah, sure." I stand and she nods, turning around, walking out of the classroom. We walk down the hall and I fiddle with my hands, walking a little behind her. She slows down and I do too, if I walk next to her, I think I'll trip.

She stops walking and looks back at me suspiciously, I stop too and bite the inside of my cheek. When she looks at me, I feel dizzy. I think I like her. I mean I thought I liked Melody but the way I felt about her was different. She didn't make me feel weird and dizzy, she just made me feel...different, maybe? Miss Snow is completely different, they're both mean but Miss Snow...she's so...dominant?

"Why are you acting all weird?" She asks and I jump, snapping out of my thoughts. She can't hear me. I didn't just call her dominant out loud—either way, I mean that she's just dominant in the classroom...she's very powerful and people immediately listen to.

"I'm not. Sorry, I'm just—"

"Stop apologising, it's all you do. You've done nothing wrong." She speaks and nods, like that, that's not dominance, obviously, but she's so...reassuring too. Charlie likes all of our male teachers, it's normal to have a small, tiny crush on a teacher right? It's not like anything is gonna happen.

We walk into the library and I spot a few stacks of books on the floor from the last day that we were here. Miss Snow walks over to the stack of books bending down to pick some up, my eyes glue to her butt...I take a few steps back and fall onto a chair making me...and the chair fall back into the floor with a loud thump.

"Ow." I huff and I hear quick footsteps before Miss Snow looks down on me, she's really pretty.

"Diana, what are you doing for christs sake?" She furrows her eyebrows and I point at the chair below me.

"The chair made me fall, it was all the chairs fault." I huff and she shakes her head and lets out a laugh, making me laugh too.

"Get up." She smiles, holding out her hands for me to take, I reach up and take her hands but I feel weird as I do, we both make eye contact and I squeeze her hands as she pulls me up. It's different from holding Charlie's hand, hers are much colder but something else, it's a different feeling completely.

"Did the chair do any damage?" She asks and I quickly pull my hands away before shaking my head.

"No, I'm fine." I nod and walk past her. I don't like what I'm feeling, I need to avoid the feelings. I can't have feelings for her. I'm just confused and upset right now.

I'm also overthinking this situation...
