Walking down the hallways of the school I smile at the students who say hello to me. It's been three days since I last found out that Tom was assigned to my case. I want to be brave and take this but another part of me wants to break down and beg him to take me back.

I know what me and Tom had was special, I still remember the first time me and Tom each other.

*Flashback*

"So do we all know how to do simultaneous equations then?" I ask them all in a sincere loud voice.

They all nod their heads. Walking around the classroom I see that they truly are getting on well with the questions which I set on the board for them.

My gaze falls outside the windows of the classroom to see that the ground has the head teacher some other teachers and the backs of two men who seem to be in a deep conversation. I wonder what's going on.

Sitting back on my chair which was in front of my desk I was just look through my emails to see if there's not anything important which I'm missing. There isn't anything here so I have no idea what is going on outside.

"Miss Case, I need your help" Barkley asks from the front desk.

I give him a smile small and get up from my chair walking towards him. Kneeling down on the ground I look at the question which he's stuck on.

"Class!" I say grabbing everybody's attention. I can't believe I forgot to give out calculators. "I'm going to give out calculators to you for help. You normally don't get calculators given to you but I will let you off with it"

"Thanks Miss C" Barkley says from his desk.

"No misbehaving and if you're going to talk then do it quietly" I say with a stern tone.

Walking out of the classroom I turn the corner to the maths officer. Opening the door to it I go over to the cabinets which have the calculators in them and get them out carrying the box out of the room with me.

Walking back to the classroom I see that the door is open. That's strange; the door was shut when I left it. I hope nobody has left the classroom, groaning to myself I speed up my pace. I get inside the room when I bump into something dropping the box of calculators on the floor.

I see who the victim is and it's somebody I haven't seen before. His dark brown eyes stare into my green ones as his mouth is slightly parted. He has a beard which covers his chin and jaw making him look very attractive.

"I'm so sorry" He says in a deep voice giving me tingling sensations throughout my body

"I'm so sorry" He says in a deep voice giving me tingling sensations throughout my body.

He leans down on the ground and starts to pick up the calculators putting them back into the box. Snapping out of my gaze I begin to help him and can't help but to sneak small glances at him.

I see that he's doing the same thing causing me blush. Once we both pick up the calculators he picks up the entire box. I look around the class to see that they're doing their work because the head teacher is standing in this classroom as well.

Why is she here and what is this good looking man doing here?

"Miss Case, can you please just step outside the classroom" The head teacher asks coming towards me.

She walks past me making me gulp in fear. Oh God, she's not firing me, is she? I look back at the guy and at the box in his hands.

"Right, you probably want this" He says with a small chuckle.

I give him a smile as he gently hands me the box back. I walk around him and put the box on my table.

"Barkley, will you please give the calculators out" Barkley quickly stands up and begins to hand out the calculators. "I'll be back in a minute guys, just continue with your work" The guy stands by the door and has the door open for me as I walk past him. "Thank you" I say to him. "Is everything ok?" I ask her once I hear the classroom door shut.

"Yes everything is fine Bridget. Someone reported that they saw one of our students from this school doing drugs so detective Field here is just investigating" She says pointing to the man.

I look over to him and nod my head.

"What does it have to do with my class?" I ask her.

"Well I want to speak to the teacher's first to see if they're suspicious about their students doing something like that. I've managed to speak to half of the departments and I just need to speak to you" His eyes stay focused on mine making me concentrate on him as well.

I just met him but he sure knows how to captivate people.

"I would love to but I have a class going on at the moment"

"Bridget this will only take one minute" Mrs Hailey says quickly.

Detective Field holds his hand up and lets out a chuckle.

"It's ok. I'll come back at the end of the day to talk to....Bridget" My name rolls of his tongue as if he's used to saying it all the time.

"That will be fine detective Field" I say with a smile on my face.

"Please, call me Tom"

*End of flashback*

"You already heading off?" Emma one of the other maths teachers asks me but also my close friend.

"Yeah I have to go down to the police station" I tell her.

Emma already knows about Tom being assigned to my case.

"Are you sure?" She asks with sadness.

"This is the right thing to do Emma; I have to show him that I've moved on"

"But you haven't Bridge" She says trying to make me understand.

"I know I haven't Emma but I know what I'm going to do is the right thing"
