I'll be your mirror (wlw, teacherxstudent)

chapter 7

"Those little shits!" Lara groans, looking at the teens pouring alcohol in the pool. "I'll be back. Stay here, don't hop off anywhere."

I nod and she stomps towards them cursing them out.

With Kiara gone to pee and now, Lara gone too, I get bored.

A guy with beads in his coiled hair walks towards the gate I'm at. He has a red cup in his hand where my attention stays.

"Ay boy! Give me that." I snatch the drink from his hand.

Surprisingly, he let's me. I put it towards my mouth and drink it in with one quick chug. Finishing it, I ask him if he has more.

He smiles and shows me the bottle he's holding, "This enough?"

With my approval, he starts pouring it in my glass. I ask for his name seeing the unknown drink fill my cup.

"Adrian. You're Maya, right?"

"Yes! Wait. How do you know me?"

He laughs and says, "Everyone knows you. Firstly. Because you joined late last year, we actually paid attention when the teacher introduced you. And second, everyone wants to get in your pants."

I look at him with suspicion stepping away, "And do you?"

He widens his eyes, vigorously shaking his head in a left to right motion, "I'm not into girls."

"Cool. Want to come outside with me?" I ask getting a sip from my drink.

"Nope. You go, I'll talk to you later. That is, if you still remember me." Laughing, he walks off. His laugh sounded like a fairy godmother's.

I go stand outside the tall gates of Lara's house bopping my head to the mean girls song playing in the background.

I put my lips again on the glass when someone interrupts me.

"Maya Rao, don't you dare drink that."

I watch her tall figure walk towards me holding a jacket in her hand. "What if I did, Miss Moore?"

She raises her eyebrows daring me to take a sip.

I gasp looking back when a familiar beat starts playing.

"I-I have this thing where I get older but never wiser..."

Seeing me scream and jump around, she looks surprised. Shaking her head, she comes closer to me and whispers, "Come here."

I comply and she puts her jacket on my exposed shoulders. The warmth sends me the comfort I didn't know I needed. Her jasmine perfume envelopes my senses. Before I can ask her for a hug, Lara and Kiara run towards me panting. "Maya!"

"You two," Miss Moore points at them and raises her voice. "Why the fuck would you leave her alone?!"

"We just left for a minute and she was-"

"I don't care about how long you were gone. You shouldn't have left in the first place." They both look at each other and then back at Miss Moore, apologising.

Kiara's eyes go towards the drink I'm holding, "Maya! Where did you get that from?"

Lara snatches it from my hand, like I took from that boy, gulping it down. "Hey!"

Wipping her mouth she says, "Sorry babes, I needed it"

"Come on, we have to get you to bed." Miss Moore says guiding me towards her car.

"Bye!" I yell at Lara and Kiara, blowing a kiss. They wave back at me, giggling.
