Ambitious Lies (Teacher/Student)

Chapter 23

2 weeks had passed since the eventful night of the prom, I dint know what it is about life and it wanting to throw all its crap at me in one go but right now its doing just that. Christian really has well and truly moved in from me, on numerous occasions he has been out and around the school with Miss Busty blonde. I've managed to just deal with it now, or just walk in the opposite direction, hard though when its everywhere! My fathers anniversary is in two days and everything is coming together nicely for the memorial concert in central London, that was meant to be a surpise for Christian as two his favorite bamds were playing at the concert. Oh well, best not to dwell on things that wont happen. I am trying to carry on my day to day life withiut thinking about Jareds obsure threats and comments about shit coming my way. After a quiet two weeks, I am going to assume that nothing going on, or that hes been caught.

At least I can hope.

Stepping into the busy gym, I grimace at the multple painful instruments disguised as gym equipement. Wondering toward one, I climb on with a distinct lank of enthusiasm.

"You dont look to be very happy on that Ms Taylor" I look round in surprise to find James, the math teacher at school standing behind me.

"Hey sir, what are you doing here?" I smile, keeping a good pace in te runnig machine.

James climbs onto the machine next to me and switches it on "Just a quick work out before parents evening, need to keep my strength up, got a busy weekend ahead"

I nod, tryig concentrate on running and talking at the same time.

"Hey look, this might be really unprofessional of me but I want to talk to you about Christian, do you kind if we go somewhere and talk?" James asks nervously.

I slow down the machine to a walj as I consider it. "Uh yeah sure, I have to go back to school to pick up a few things so I can walk and talk"

James smiles widely. "Great, lets go"

As we leave the gym, I feel a distinct uneasiness in my surroundings as if someone is watching me.

"Everything ok?" James asks, concerned.

I shake myself, turning to him and smiling "Of course, just me, What did you want to talk about?"

He smiles broadly at me "Whats going in with you and Christian? Why is he so god damn moody all the time?"

"I wasnt aware that he was, he seemed fine to me in class" I respond innocently. What is Christian being moody for, hes got blondybigtits to keep him company now.

"Well you should see him in the staffroom, hes a pain in the arse if im honest" James laughs

"I can only apologise, Christian and I didnt work out, I love.. I mean I liked him but.." I stutter.

"I think you had it right the first time Charity, No one can deny that you two have strong feelings for each other. Its there for everyone to see, if they look hard enough" He explains.

I look up at him in thought, why is he taking such an interest in me and Christian? "Well thats something of the past now, hes moved on and so have I"

As we enter the school, the man himself rounds the corner, coming to a standstill right in front of us. "Ah, talk of the devil" James exclaims "Im going to leave you too and do.. anything" James scurries away quickly, leaving Christian and I to look at eachother.

"We wernt talking about you" I blurt out lamely.

He half smirks, his eyes softening ever so slightly. "I wouldnt pay any attention to what he says"
