Colleagues to lovers

Chapter 38

At the end of the day, Lyanna comes to check on Sarah. The last time they spoke was at the surprise for Sarah. They didn't talk during the breaks because they were both very busy at the time. But Lyanna wanted to talk to Sarah before she went home. Lyanna knocked on the window and Sarah looked up at Lyanna.

"Hey Lyanna, good to have you here," Sarah said. "I want to talk to you for a minute. I didn't have time over break so I was hoping you'd have some time now," Lyanna said. "Actually, I don't have time, but I need some distraction," Sarah said. "What's going on? Has something happened that I don't know about?" asks Lyanna. "Well, something has happened that you don't know about yet," Sarah said. "What is it?" asks Lyanna. "Well, when I went back to my classroom after being with you during class, I had a whole interrogation with my class. They kept looking at me so strangely even after that. I thought it got really scary at one point," Sarah said. "How annoying, Sarah. I understand it drives you crazy. You could have told me that before. You know that," Lyanna said. "I know, Lyanna, but I didn't think it was that important to you. This class will act very strange for a week or two, but then they'll go back to normal," Sarah said. "Okay, if you say so," Lyanna said. "Is there anything else you want to say? I'm pretty busy and have a lot to do," Sarah said. "I don't think so. Oh yes. I'm just sleeping at home tonight. So I'll just go home. Shall we call tonight?" asked Lyanna. "Oh okay. We'll call tonight," Sarah says. "Then I'll talk to you later. Good luck with work," Lyanna said. "Thanks Lyanna. And have a nice trip home soon," Sarah said.

Lyanna leaves, leaving Sarah alone in the classroom. Sarah tries not to cry. She's had so much trouble, she doesn't like it anymore. At first she could ignore it a little, but now more and more things are coming up. She feels like it just won't stop. Like it will just go on and on. Sometimes she even feels like she can't do her job normally anymore. And she gets so stressed about it. And then she also feels like she can't talk to Lyanna about it. Even though she has told her some, but she still wants to tell her a lot more. Hailey and Ellie, that annoying class, and then Thomas. She knows that Thomas won't bother her anymore, but she still worries about him. And Ellie and Hailey, she thought at first that they would forget everything, but no. They will never forget. So she's also worried that the whole class won't forget. While she's worrying about that, someone comes back in.

"Ma'am, can I ask you a question?" asks Hailey. "Hailey? What are you doing here? You scared the hell out of me," Sarah said. "Oh, sorry. I heard from Mrs. Oostra that you weren't feeling well and that she was worried. And I have a feeling it's because of Ellie and me," Hailey said. "No, it's not. I feel fine, Hailey. I'm a little busy sometimes, but other than that, I'm fine. You don't have to worry. And I'll talk to Mrs. Oostra," Sarah says. "Okay. You can always talk to me if you want to say something," Hailey said. "Thanks Hailey. But I'm fine," says Sarah.

Hailey walks out of the classroom and hears two girls laughing. Of course, Hailey wasn't alone. It would be different too. She had almost believed that Hailey and Ellie had changed, but no. Just as Hailey left, Avery walked up.

"What was that? Those two girls just took off," Avery said. "Oh yeah, that's Ellie and Hailey," Sarah said. "Oh okay. Then what happened? They ran away laughing," Avery said. "Let's just say the relationship between Ellie and Hailey and me is not that good," Sarah said. "Well, whatever. That's what I wanted to know. I thought it was very odd," Avery said. "I get it. If I don't know the situation, I always ask," Sarah said. "Well, I'm just going to move on. I had something else to do. Talk to you tomorrow," Avery said. "Good luck. See you tomorrow," Sarah said.

Avery leaves and Sarah packs her things. Before she goes to the teachers' lounge, she takes a short walk around the school. The school was already very empty, but she likes to walk the halls for a while without too many people around. After two rounds, she went down to the teachers' lounge. When she got down, a few teachers were still working. Going to get her coat, she saw two people kissing by the lockers.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't know you were sitting here. I just want to get my coat," Sarah said.

As she said that, she suddenly saw who it was.

"Sarah, it's not what it looks like," she said. "Stop it. See you tomorrow," Sarah said angrily.
