Report's Of The Forbidden

Chapter Seven

The week goes on, it creeps closer to Halloween. I really miss Willow. We used to do everything together. I hope we can spend the holidays together since her family lives here. Ryan and I have been getting closer, but I don't think I want a relationship with him. He's super sweet but I'd rather keep the friendship we have.

Today we have to present our projects we were assigned a couple weeks prior. I absolutely hate presentations, I have such terrible anxiety. With our class being a decent size I don't think Ryan and I will be presenting today which I would appreciate being it will be the weekend. Mr. Bourbon is running late this morning, probably having to do with his previous randevu with the blonde. Everyone is just chatting away, as we don't have a professor. Locked onto what Ryan was talking about, I jumped at the loud crash. Mr. Bourbon stormed in looking disheveled and slamming his things on his desk. I can't help but admire him, should I dare say, he's hot.

As Mr. Bourbon gets his things in order he proceeds " Alright ladies and gentleman, we will start presentations that will take up the whole class period and we will continue until everyone has presented!."

Everyone groans simultaneously, the overwhelming feeling of panic radiates through me. I look at Mr. Bourbon and a sinister smile appears on his face, I heat up instantly, feeling tingles travel to my lady bits. "Aspen and Ryan, you will be the first to present"

My face felt like it was on fire, the amount of pressure this has on me is nauseating. Mr. Bourbon swivels in his chair leaning back and rubbing his finger against his bottom lip watching me intently. I zoned out not realizing I'm biting my lip, Ryan nudged me. I hear a chuckle come from the side of me, embarrassment flusters my mind, I think, asking myself if everyone noticed but push the thought away before I have a mental breakdown.

After presenting I felt better knowing I can relax for the rest of the time. The class seemed like it was never going to end, it probably was around the two hour mark when Mr. Bourbon announced we had one more presentation. Luckily the group that was last ended up not finishing and they just turned in what they had which wasn't much as they didn't end up presenting anything.

Mr. Bourbon claps his hands together, "Alright, you guys are dismissed, grades will be in by monday."

I grab my bag walking out of the room, when I feel a tug on my arm. Looking back it's Ryan, "Your acting weird Aspen, was it the other night I'm sorry if I overstepped" he sighed.

"No Ryan you didn't do anything wrong, I got to go okay?" I turn to walk away but he yanks me back again. "Ryan what the hell? I said I have to go!"

Ryan swiftly grabs me by the shoulders and swings me, hitting against the wall. I closed my eyes waiting for the impact of his voice to hit my face, but nothing happened. I opened my eyes to see Mr. Bourbon, who is about a good foot taller than Ryan, grabbed him. A panic attack begins and I can't seem to hear anything around me, its fight or flight mode and all I thought to do was to run.
