Off-Limits Chapter 2

Jack's P.O.V

The students filed in one by one and i couldn't help but be a little disappointed when I didn't see Adriana join her classmates. Where was she? Maybe she's sick, I thought. Why did I care anyway, i seriously needed to get this girl out of my head. As I began to start the lesson I heard a familiar voice. 'Sorry I'm late sir.' I looked round and there she was. I noticed she looked even better than she did yesterday, she was clearly trying to grab someones attention, short skirt, more make-up than before. I realised it had been a while since anyone had said anything so I told Adriana to take her seat and went back to teaching. Or at least I attempted to, I just couldn't stop watching her. The way she talked to people, she had this liveliness that was so enchanting to witness. It could have been my imagination but I thought I saw her staring at me. No Jack, stop being stupid she's a student. Still there was something in the way she looked at me, there was something more to her. 

Adriana's P.O.V

All night I'd dreamt of Mr. Barakat. I felt like such a stupid teenage cliche having a crush on my teacher but I'd come to realise even if I couldn't actually do anything, it wouldn't hurt to flirt a little. It would be funny really, just a joke. I think deep down I knew it wasn't just a joke but still any kind of contact with him would satisfy me, for now. I put my blouse on and my black jumper and skirt, making sure to roll it up a little. I did my make-up and headed down for breakfast. 

I spotted my friends on the other side of the canteen. Sitting down beside them they were clearly deep in conversation. 'So apparently he was kicked out of his last job for sexual harassment.' was all I heard. 'What? Who?' I asked. 'That new teacher, Mr. Barakat.' A bit too quickly I blurted out 'Don't be ridiculous that is obviously just a stupid fucking rumour.' My friends looked shocked at my sudden outburst, hell I was a little shocked. Why was I defending him, for all I know it could be true. 'Sorry' I said 'It's just you know I've had a good few rumours about me go round and I don't like to hear people gossiping.' Good save Adriana. My friends sort of shrugged their shoulders, it was true there had been plenty a rumour about me, sometimes true, sometimes untrue. I was still surpised how quickly I'd defended Mr. Barakat though. I tried to tell myself I didn't want the rumour to be true but to be honest I wouldn't really mind a little sexual contact. 

*RING RING RING*

Time for first lesson. Science, fuck yes. I decided to go to the bathroom quickly to check how I looked. Hair, decent. Clothes, decent. Make-up, decent. Well it wasn't going to get much better than that. I was already running late and as I walked into the classroom I could tell the lesson had already begun. 'Sorry I'm late sir.' There was a bit of an awkward pause before he allowed me to sit down. I kept looking up at him throughout the lesson, trying to catch his attention in some way and call me crazy but I'm sure he was looking back. But it wasn't enough for me, I was going to have to up my game if I really wanted to get his attention. 

NOTE

I know that before I'd said the school was all girls but for the plot i've decided to change it to a mixed school, thanks for reading!
