I Found Home

Chapter 35

Kane

You never see a storm coming until it's too late . Any form of preventing the disaster is vain if it's not prior the hurricane launching at you like a pouncing outrageous tiger from the jungles .

I watch Hannah storm into my class , I keep my posture straight and my facial expressions neutral .

Or at least try to .

Her face is glistening with sweat , her hair styled in a messy ponytail and her clothes barely even covering anything in her since the majority is showing . That alone could make my mood darker than before . I hate it when she's showing a lot of skin and she knows it too .

Yes , granted . It's too hot in Tolom and she is a new resident here which is why she isn't as tolerant to the heat as we are , but I still barely find it a convincing excuse .

Plus she'll be going to Princeton next year . She got in successfully . She got accepted in Brown University as well but her dream is Princeton . No idea why but whatever the reason I'm proud of her . It does make me upset to be apart from her , or maybe I'll find a job in some other college in New Jersey and be beside her .

Working here is no longer possible anymore and I have to act on it as soon as possible .

For three reason : one is Hannah and the urge to show her to the world as mine , two is Ellie and the impossibility of being near her anymore due to her crazy obsession or whatever she has with me in that messed up head of hers , three is the fact that my relationship with Hannah which is supposed to be a secret is starting to divulge .

Darcy knows which means Carl knows too . She saw me driving Hannah to Karmen Willis park as usual and questioned me about it and it was fruitless to deny it .

I mean , what teacher would drive his student to a park at six in the morning ?

First it was just Paget , then I told Ethan and now Darcy figured it out . It won't be long before many others know .

« A word , teacher . »

The biting tone of her voice makes me loosen the tie around me , remove my glasses and take a seat on my chair . It's only the two of us here and I hate it when she calls me that in private . She rarely does , only when she is truly pissed at me about something . I can't fathom what I did again to drive her this outraged .

« Sure , Miss Floris . » I say casually . If I were in a better mood I would have been a little bit softer and gentler about her behavior but today I already have a lot in plate .

Her eyes narrow and she does that thing with her jaw when she moves it left and right quickly . It's one of the many signs of her anger .

Just like I hate her calling me teacher she hates me calling her Miss Floris .

« Don't fuck with me , Kane . » She is standing near my desk in an eye blink , her hands fisted at her sides and her face red with rage . « I mean it . »

I let my gaze roam over her body . She is tall but not compared to me , she gained some more pounds she desperately needed before but not too much to count it as obesity . Her curves are definitely not hidden, no thanks to her choice of outfit . I liked it better when she dressed tomboyish style .

« I won't fuck with you , but I'll fuck you if you keep tempting me . » I say calmly as I slide my gaze up to hers .

The redness taking over her paleness has nothing to do with the weather's heat , it creeps up her neck and over her ears .

« Go now , Hannah . We'll talk later . » I take my eyes away from her and retrieve a book from my shelf . I can't deal with her when I'm this pissed off .
