Sam's POV


I got out of my car and went straight (gay) to my class with Yuna. We were actually pretty early because Yuna was trying to get extra credit by being the TA for Mrs.Green and hence she had to meet with her before the classes start. I texted Scylla to come early because I don't wanna be alone at the classroom doing nothing especially when I have art as my first period. She will be here in a few minutes I guess.

I was getting bored. It has been 10 minutes since I have been here and we still have almost half an hour before the classes. Scylla is nowhere to be seen. Then I heard the sound of heels and glanced towards it hoping it was Scylla. Guess what, the most unfortunate person of the day award goes to .... me.

She walked inside with her bag and placed it on her desk. She really had an intimidating aura around her. She seemed so different from the girl I met that night. She was busy arranging her stuff and paid no attention to me. I had no clue what to do. So I just laid down on the desk in a poor attempt at laying low. My heart was racing and my feet kept doing the famous 'stress' body language.
I just want this period to be over soon. The anxiety is killing me.

"What's your name?"

A voice filled my ears. A familiar one. The one I wanted to hear the most since that night, but dreaded from yesterday.

"Samantha Das" - I said without looking at her. I didn't want her to realise who I was. Not yet. Not like this.

"Are you alright there?" - She asked but there wasn't any concern in her voice. She is just doing her job I guess.

"Yes, Miss.Davis"

Wait.... What's her first name !!!! After all this time I didn't even know her name.

-This dumbass

A silence fell between us. Nobody talked for quiet some time. I was practically a hot mess in front of her. The anxiety in me was not at all helping the situation.

"You seem quite familiar. Have we met before?"

Her question seemed like a dagger coming straight for me. Oh hell no Does she remember me? Has she realised my name? Damn.. I gathered the last bit of courage I had and muttered out.

"I--I don't t-think I have Miss. Must be someone else."

I facepalmed inside my head for stuttereing in front of her. If she didn't have any doubts before, she sure as hell did now. She squinted her eyes and looked outside the window. She seemed like she was thinking. Oh God!! I was ready to storm out of the classroom before we fell into a more awkward conversation, but then somebody came through the door. It was Scylla.. She had an apologetic look on her face. She came inside and sat beside me.

"Sorry, I overslept"

I just nodded. I didn't care about whatever happened around me. My mind was fully focused on one person and one person only. The bell rang putting an end to my train of thoughts. Students stormed inside the room and Miss Davis started the lecture. I wish she hadn't realised anything. But that hope went out the window when I noticed she was giving me side glances throughout the lecture. Where is the invisibility cloak when I need it.

The bell rang and everyone stepped outside the classroom. Finallyyyyy!!
I spared no time and collected my things and went straight for the door.

"Sam, stay for a minute." - an authoritative voice came from behind. I stood frozen. She called me Sam. Of course she remembers me.. I knew this was coming but not this soon.
