***ANDREA'S POV***

"Ok what did you do to her?" Asked Phoebe "Me?!, I'm the one who was left out in the rain" I said. Phoebe chuckled "Geez you can tell you two are married, at this point just say you love each other, I'm so over this back and forth" she said, I rolled my eyes.

For the past few months Miss Saintclair kept her distance from me almost entirely, rather it had been at home or at the university the only time she talks to me is about her grades in my class because it is nearing the seniors graduating.

I walked through the halls on my way to the main office to submit my printed exam papers for review when I heard a familiar voice, I peaked around the corner only to see that miss Saintclair was talking to another female student. As I was nearing them I heard a bit for their conversation "So will you go on a date with me?" asked the student, Date?!.

I know I shouldn't be listening in on other people's conversations but I couldn't bring myself to turn away and keep walking after hearing that.

"Lily was it?" Said Miss Saintclair "Yes!" Said the girl whose name I now know is lily excitedly.

"Why do you want to go on a date with me of all people?" Asked Miss Saintclair. "To be honest I've had a crush on you for a long time.....I just never had the courage to approach you till today" said the girl nervously, "Wow I was unaware of that" said Miss Saintclair.

"That sounds like your answer is about to be a no" said lily "I'm sorry" Miss Saintclair replied. I heard the girl sniffle before speaking "It's fine, see you around" she said disappointedly, "Yeah...." Replied Miss Saintclair.

I let out a breath of relief that I was unaware I was even hold, I don't know why but I was glad she said no.

"Spying is rude Miss Smith" said Miss Saintclair shocking me. How did she know I was watching them?!?, I cleared my throat there was no use in hiding anymore I may as well save myself the embarrassment and show myself. I straightened my shirt and left from my hiding spot around the corner.

Miss Saintclair was standing there with a blank expression. "To be a Saintclair means knowing when you are being watched, Ive been in the spot light since I was a child so I'm quite familiar with the feeling of eyes on me" she said.

It was quiet for a moment as we both looked at each other but then she spoke. "So....why were you watching me, people who stalk in the shadows usually turn out to have Ill will towards the stalked" she said I crossed my arms and twisted my face "I was not stalking you Miss hart, I was merely passing by" I replied "Oh and what you decided to just hide around the corner in listen in on a conversation that has nothing to do with you just because?"

"Your exaggerating" I said even though that was exactly what I did, "Am I?" She said stepping closer to me leaving our faces dangerously close to one another's.

My breathing hitched as hers stayed steady and my eyes lingered on her lips.

I wanted to kiss her but I knew this was not the place nor time, nor did I have the guts to do it anyways......so I was hoping she would.

My heart pounded in my chest with every passing second, I thought I knew how this was about to end and I had hoped it would be with her lips against mine like usually but to my surprise she backed away and avoided eye contact with me as she cleared her throat awkwardly.

"It's my lunch hour I should be on my way now" she said not giving me a chance to reply before walking past me.

I dropped the papers off at the office and went back to my lecture room. I closed the door then leaned my head up against it.
