Colleagues to lovers

Chapter 45

It is now Monday. The weekend was a lot of rest for Lyanna and Sarah. It had been a hard week for both of them and they were exhausted. But Lyanna had to go to work anyway. Sarah also had to go to school for a while because she had another meeting with a colleague. So they both got up early, which neither of them liked. But seeing each other was wonderful.

"Good morning gorgeous. Sleep well?" asks Sarah. "Hey, baby. I slept great. Were you able to get some sleep too?" asks Lyanna. "Yeah okay, I guess. I just freaked out all night. No, that's not the right word," Sarah said. "You were worried," Lyanna said. "Yeah, that's what I meant. I'm just replaying every thought three times and going over possible outcomes in my head," Sarah said. "You shouldn't do that, Sarah. There is no need. I am with you, if there is anything I can do you should tell me," Lyanna said. "Thank you Lyanna. What would I do without you," Sarah said "I love you so much," Lyanna said. "I love you more," Sarah said. 

Sarah looks deeply into Lyanna's eyes. Sarah's pupils dilate and Lyanna sees Sarah's eyes sparkle. They kissed each other before they both got out of bed to go back to school. Sarah goes to school thinking she's going to talk to Leah about Ellie and Hailey, but when she gets to the classroom where they met, she doesn't just see Leah standing there. Not only is Leah in the classroom, but so is Avery. And Sarah is not happy to see her again. Leah and Avery saw that too.

"Sarah, come in. We need to talk," Leah said. "Why do we need to talk? I already know everything. Maggie told me," Sarah said. "Sarah, I didn't want things going that way. But she's very nice. I don't want to be with her anymore, don't worry," Avery said. "You had a relationship with Maggie and you dated Taylor. Then you didn't love her anyway. You broke her, Avery," Sarah said. "She didn't mean to hurt Maggie or you, Sarah. But we can have a normal conversation, right?" asks Leah. "We can sometime, but I can't right now. Talk to you some other time," Sarah says.

Sarah no longer listens to what Leah and Avery say. She just walks away without thinking. She goes up another floor to see if Lyanna is in her classroom. And as it happens, she is. And the classroom is still empty. And that's odd, because class starts in three minutes. Usually there are some students in the classroom by then. So she goes to check on Lyanna.

"Hey honey, what's up? No one's here yet?" asks Sarah. "I found this in my mailbox," Lyanna says."What is it?" asks Sarah. "Just look," Lyanna said.

She shows Sarah an email she received anonymously. And Sarah is shocked when she reads the email.

"Hello Ms. Lyanna Oostra. We are not coming to your class on Monday because we cannot take you seriously. When you and your so-called colleague get your act together, we will come to your class again. You don't have to go to your boss, because we'll tell him all about you and Sarah. Greetings. What the hell is this?" asks Sarah. "An e-mail from the class. They know about us," Lyanna says. "A lot of people already know about us, but this is very confronting. It's never been this bad," Sarah said. "What am I going to do? I can't just let this go," Lyanna said. "We shouldn't see each other if you or I have to teach this class. It can't be that way," Sarah said. "You're right. But I have free time now. Would you like to come to the teachers' lounge for coffee?" asked Lyanna. "Sounds good," Sarah said. 

They go downstairs together to talk for a while and not think about the situation. Sarah finds it quite scary that they dare to send this. And that the whole class just doesn't show up. Sarah has been a teacher for a while now, but this has never happened to her before. A whole class not showing up. But she feels that students cannot get away without some kind of punishment. This is going too far. Not coming to class because a teacher can't act normal.  But Sarah didn't want to talk about it with Lyanna. She didn't want to ruin the atmosphere. So they talked about nice things and did nothing in terms of work. But neither of them minded that much. The rest of the day went a little better. Those classes of Lyanna did come to her class. At the end of the day Sarah came to pick up Lyanna. In the car Lyanna talked about all kinds of things that had happened that day. And Sarah enjoyed listening to all the stories.
