So Wrong, But So Right (girlxgirl) (studentxteacher)

Ch. 19

Danni closed her eyes so that Toby wouldn't get the joy of seeing her pain whilst he fucked her. She gritted her teeth, scrunched up her eyes and tried to think of happy thoughts. It didn't work. She heard Toby's trousers hit the floor and knew anytime soon it was about to begin. She braced herself.

The sounds of laughter in the corridor and muffled chatter seemed to fade away as Danni focussed on every movement. His heavy breathing on her chest. His hands on her thighs. He pulled up her skirt. She waited. It was only a matter of time. Nothing. What?

His body weight was ripped off her, and she snapped open her eyes. The sight she saw was unbelievable.

Nicky walked back to her classroom with her coffee. She stopped to chat to a few of her colleagues, making small talk about the weather and the ineffective photocopier downstairs before heading back, mentally preparing a jobs list for the afternoon.

She stopped when she thought she heard a strange noise. A whimper almost, definitely pained, but almost resigned to a cruel fate. Where was it coming from? And what, or who, was it?

She walked more towards her room, avoiding crowds of teenagers too absorbed in their own gossip to have any spatial awareness. There. It was the noise again. It was coming from her room.

There was a louder scream this time as Nicky stood frozen in the corridor. She knew that voice. Danni. Danni was in trouble. Her instincts kicked in, and she dropped her coffee, not caring that the burning liquid splashed everywhere as it hit the floor. Danni needed help. Danni needed her. All of a sudden the rest of the day was forgotten. The argument, the rumour, all of it, was gone. Danni needed her and that was all that mattered in that moment.

Nicky burst through the door and barely had time to comprehend what was happening before she forced Toby away from Danni.

"Get off her you piece of dirt!" Nicky screamed at Toby as she did so.

Toby, with his trousers still around his ankles was so suddenly unbalanced form the movement that he fell sideways, crashing face first onto another table. Nicky put some of her weight on top of him, holding him there, whilst she pulled his arms up backwards to a painful position. Toby let out a small yelp.

"Yeah, you deserve it, you fuck," Nicky spat into his ear.

For the first time, she looked over at Danni, now sat on the edge of the table staring, mouth wide open, at her. Nicky smiled at her. It was over for Danni. Thank god.

Almost immediately people flooded into the room. Having seen Nicky's reaction, several students called to nearby teachers, and now teachers and students alike were pouring in to see what was happening. When they saw Toby's state of dress paired with Danni's discomfort, it was only a matter of minutes before both the school nurse and the headmaster arrived. The nurse headed straight for Danni, and the headmaster to Toby. He yanked up the boy's trousers, and with Nicky and him taking a boy's arm each, they strode out of the classroom and straight to his office without saying a word.

Once in the office, they let go of Toby and he zipped up his fly, and they all say in silence for a moment.

"The police will be here soon," said the headmaster monotonously. His only worry was that the school's name was kept out of the newspaper reports that were bound to cover the story in the near future.

Again, silence hung over the room, and, disgusted by the sight of Toby, Nicky left the room in search of Danni. She headed back to her room, and there were significantly fewer people there than before. A couple of her peers patted her on the back or smiled at her as she entered, they were clearly pleased that she had intervened. Nicky wondered if her reaction would have been so fast if it hadn't of been Danni. Probably not, but then again, she wouldn't have left the classroom if it wasn't Danni.

Nicky's eyes flicked around the busy room for Danni. She couldn't see her. Then, in the corner of the room, the dark blue nurse's outfit caught Nicky's eye and she pushed her way through the people towards her.

Closely examining her face, Nicky could see it was red and puffy from crying, with her mascara running down her cheeks. She was slightly blotchy, and had a sheen to her face. Her hair was a mess, but somehow, she was still gorgeous. She looked up, and her blue eyes met Nicky's. She smiled. That awkward, embarrassed, turned-up-corners-of-the-mouth smile that Nicky saw when she first met Danni, and her heart melted. The nurse moved away as Danni rose out of her chair, mumbling something that frankly, neither of them cared about. They both stood, about a metre apart, staring into each other's smiling eyes. Then Nicky drew Danni into a hug. She wasn't worried about what other people thought, the girl was in a fragile state, and she was comforting her, there didn't need to be any more reasoning behind her actions other than that. She inhaled the girl's sweet scent and the both clung onto each other tightly, enjoying the simple joy of their bodies melting into each other. Nicky really had missed this.

They drew apart, and Nicky looked back into Danni's eyes.

"Thank you," Danni whispered, smiling at her teacher.

"It's no problem," Nicky replied, still smiling.

She realised that she was the wrong in the wrong, not Danni. She just needed to learn to trust again. She knew Danni didn't cheat, it was obvious now, but she wasn't sure if Danni could ever forgive her.

"Are we ok?" Danni asked, almost reading Nicky's mind.

"Yeah. Let's just see how it goes, ok?"

Nicky knew she couldn't rush into anything with Danni, their promises to each other only ended in disappointment last time, so perhaps it was better to keep an open mind and wait it out. At least, that was what her heart was telling her.

They both sat down in the corner of Nicky's room.

"So, how are you?" Nicky asked. Her eyes met Danni's and a flicker of excitement ran through her, how she had missed that feeling.
