Hate To Love You

Once the principal dismissed her, I let out an inaudible sigh to release my breath. One I didn't even know I was holding.

The principal was quiet, probably waiting until Elora was out the door before speaking.

I discreetly turned to look at her leave and it inevitably turned to me checking her out. She was slim, average in height and had nice hair that stopped some inches below her shoulder, close to her mid back. Just as she opened the door, my eyes dropped to her ass but I couldn't make out anything through her skirt and how fast she was moving.

Immediately the doors closed, the principal cleared her throat before saying "can I have your attention now?"

I simply turned to look at her, choosing to remain silent. The sooner she said whatever she needed to say, the sooner I could get out of here.

"All your sports privileges have been revoked and that includes your P.E lesson sports time. You're going to take up either drama or music so your grades don't suffer." She said and I couldn't resist chuckling.

"Are you actually trying to help my grades or make my punishment worse?"

"I refuse to waste my precious time on responding to your question. Simply pick one to make up for your grades and be out of my office." She said in a monotone voice with an expressionless face.

Again I chuckled, finding the situation funny. "What time and office are you talking about? Is it time my mom pays for or the office she provides you?" I asked.

"That is strictly between myself and your mom. As long as you are a student of this school, you are no different from others. Heir or not." She said, placing emphasis on the first half of her sentence.

At her words I full on laughed, finding it difficult to keep my facade up anymore. "I really do enjoy teasing you Miss Lily. I simply can't get over your reactions" I said, my laughter dying in smile.

"Really should have seen that coming shouldn't I?" Miss Lily muttered making me chuckle.

"I'm sorry ma'am" I genuinely apologized. "I'll pick music. It's more tolerable than drama" I said and she smiled.

"As much as I enjoy seeing your face, I don't want to hear or see signs of you making trouble for at least half this session" she said the first half with her voice dripping with sarcasm before her lips tugged into a smile since we both knew the second half of her sentence would definitely be close to impossible for me.

"Can't make any promises but I will put in an effort" I said with a smile of my own.

"I can however promise you that you'll be getting punishments for every offence. No exceptions. Dismissed"

"Yes ma'am" I saluted before stepping out of the office.

The smile on my face remained until I was out of the hallway leading to Miss Lily's office before my expression immediately blanked.

Miss Lily was one of my middle school teachers. She was someone I grew to rely on when my mom was emotionally unavailable for me and till this moment I was really grateful. She put up with the sh*tty attitude I'd grown then and still have traces of now and was always there for me, whether I let her be or not.

When my mom had been looking for who to head her school, I might have put in a few good words and it had turned out better than I expected for her.

Despite that, she never let me get away with things and punished me when I deserve it.

Sometime later, it was lunch time. I'd grabbed my food and was waiting at my usual table for my best friend, Kayden.
