Engaged To My Professor

Chapter 7

***ANDREA'S POV***

Two days later I was sitting there at my desk after passing out the assignments for the day like I always do but there was something different about today and it was the fact that I couldn't stop my eyes from wandering towards Miss Saintclair the whole time.

Usually I don't pay much attention to her unless she's late to my lecture or she turns in her assignments late otherwise I've never paid attention to her so closely like I have since that dinner with her family and mine.

I guess it's only natural though considering she is to be my wife after all.

I've noticed that she's been less talkative with her friend she's always with, she also looks colder then usual and have been leaving my class early. I tried talking with her multiple times but she won't even glance my way.

Today that has to change though we need to find some sort of common ground.

Later the bell rung signaling the end of class and just before the students left I called out to Miss Saintclair "Miss s- I mean Hart could you stay behind I need to discuss something important with you"  I said nearly outing her real name, she sighed and I could tell she wanted to say no but didn't. She nodded her head In response before turning to say bye to her friend.

"I'll catch up with you later Gio" said Miss Saintclair. "It's fine I'll see you soon" he said before waving to me then leaving the classroom.

Once everyone was gone I stood up from my desk while she stood still by hers.

"What's so important that you want to discuss it right now?" She asked "I'm pretty sure you know what" I replied taking my glasses off "I'm not" she replied clearly lying I sighed "Are you seriously just going to pretend like none of this is happening ? we will be married and two weeks" I said she shrugged before looking away then speaking again.

"Did you know?" She asked "Pardon me?" I asked confused "Did you know about your father deal with my grandfather?" She asked outright I frowned my eyebrows at her "What?!, of course I didn't know, why exactly would I want to marry my student?!" I said before taking a breath and leaning up against my desk while folding my arms across my chest.

"This whole time I was unaware of who you truly are and now that I know....I like you even less" I said bluntly. It might sound harsh but it's the truth and it's not like she likes me either. "You're not my favorite person in the world either Miss smith" she said using my fake name because we were still in the building and anyone could overhear.

See point proven "Yes I'm aware, however we can't just ignore each other for ever considering we'll be living together soon as well" I pointed out "No but we can try" she said grabbing her bag and flinging it over her shoulder about to leave. "Wait I'm not done talking" I said "I am" she replied before leaving out of the room.

I rubbed a hand down my face and let out a frustrated sigh. Childish I'm literally about to be marrying an immature child.

two weeks went by in the blink of an eye and during it things continued on the same with Miss Saintclair. Eventually the day we go to the city hall to get married came. I was in a simple white dress as me and my father made our way to the city hall so that we could meet up with Miss saintclair and her father.

"Andrea" said my father gaining my attention "Yes?" I asked "Thank you for this" he said I scoffed and looked out of the window "I'm not doing this out of the kindness of my heart so thanking me is unnecessary" I replied, the car went silent again on the rest of the way there.

Soon we arrived outside of the city hall, I looked out of the windows at miss Saintclair and her father who was standing there waiting. "Shall we?" Asked my father offering his hand but I refused it and got out of the car myself making my way over to the Saintclairs.
