Ch 22

I woke up to my phone ringing.

"Who the fuck calls people this early in the morning?!" I groaned, sitting up from my bed and stretching before reaching for my phone that was lying face down on my bedside table.

"OH FUCK!" It was Jen, I had somehow managed to oversleep, my alarm must not have woken me up. 

I quickly looked at my class schedule.

I was supposed to be in Alex's class right now, twenty minutes late.

Shit.

I wonder how Jen had even managed to get her phone out in class let alone ring me.

"Ughhh!" 

As if my life couldn't get any worse. She is going to be pissed off no matter how late I turn up to her class, I may as well take my time getting ready. 

I decided to go with a black, skin-tight dress that sat on my upper thigh and paired it with Dr. Martens' classic, black boots. I went over to my bedside table to add the essential rings and jewellery and grabbed my bag. I was now well over half an hour late but as much as I don't want to be anywhere near Alexandria right now, I still need to pass her class.

~~~

My heart raced as I placed my hand on her classroom door's handle but before I could open it to walk through, I was quicky stopped by a voice coming from behind me.

"You know she's going to be furious with you." I turned around to see the new professor standing behind me with a devilish grin plastered on her face. 

"I accidentally slept in." I replied, unsure of what her intentions were.

"Oh, we both know for a fact that she won't give a damn what your excuse is." She walked closer, too close for my liking. 

Her eyes lingered on my own before looking me up and down. 

Is she checking me out?

"I mean, in that dress... She'd probably fuck an apology out of you." 

My face dropped. 

"I-. What?" I felt my skin start to sweat as I got more anxious with every passing second.

Surely she doesn't know?

"Let's not beat around the bush here, the way she looks at you... that look alone is enough to send someone into a frenzy. I mean, you can't deny it. You two have definitely done things that aren't exactly..." She paused, "School-friendly." She grinned, as if she sees right through me. 

"How do you?-" She cut me off before I could muster the rest of my sentence.

"We'll save that conversation for later. Right now, I know the best way to really get under her skin because let's be real, you are both clearly fighting. I don't know exactly what's going on, but I want to help you. She should know that you aren't one to be messed around with. Right?" Her eyes held a sparkle in them.

I pondered on the thought for a moment.

This could go so very wrong, even her knowing is enough to get her fired and me thrown out no doubt, but her offer sounded so very tempting.

"What did you have in mind?" I tried to calm myself down.

"Kiss me." 

I froze.

"What?" 

"You heard me, the best way to show her what she's missing is by making her jealous." She looked down at my lips, the corner of her mouth rising. I don't know what her plan was, but fuck it.
