School Secrets | Book 19 (Student/Teacher book 1 of 2) COMPLETE

Chapter 3

The third day of school and Chloe, Alice and Katie asked me if I wanted to be friends with them as Dana had left them to be friends with Kelly and Rachel and being the only people to talk to me I jumped at the chance to hang with them. The lessons flew passed as I couldn't wait for lunch which I spent most of listening to them talk about the latest fashion trends and how they were going to the shops after school to buy some new clothes. I couldn't believe my luck when they asked me to come along and before they could finish the sentence I had already answered

"yes".

With school over Chloe, Alice, Katie and me all wondered into town to find some great new clothes, while trying on a pair of boots I saw Mr. Smith walk past the shop with a couple other teachers, Chloe and Katie walked up behind me and told me that Mr. Smith is usually out with some teachers and he always seems to be where they are. I turned around to look at them to see that they didn't seem to be joking.

I got home to mum pacing back and forth with a

worried look on her face and when I walked in I was smothered by a hug and kisses. Mum had to tell me something which broke my heart in two and for the rest of the night I spent it lying in my bed holding a picture of my dad before he went off to fight in the war.

I had decided to go into school I thought it would help keep my mind off what had happened but to my dismay it only made it worse, we were doing practice test's in most of my lessons and the silence was deafening and the thoughts kept whizzing through my mind like it was the only thing on the planet.

I couldn't do it any more I raised my hand and asked if I could leave but when the teacher asked for a reason I just looked at the wall like she wasn't even there, she finally said

"If you can't give me a reason you can't leave".

I sat there for another five minutes before packing up my things and walking out, I didn't know where to go I had no one to talk to and I couldn't just walk out of school mum would kill me.

I walked past pastoral where my head of house was talking to one of the people that work in there, she noticed me walk passed and called me back.

"Ceaira aren't you meant to be in your lesson"

I didn't answer it wasn't that I didn't want to I just felt like my mouth had been sown shut this whole thought had taken control over my mind and was now using it against me.

"Ceaira is there something wrong? Has something happened that has upset you?"

I managed to take control for a second and reply with a troubled yes.

I looked her in the eyes just as one lonely tear ran down my check and hit the table I was sat at, Miss. Hickstead passed me a tissue and spent the rest of the lesson trying to get me to tell her what had happened.

Miss. Hickstead asked me to stay for five minutes after the bell so she could ask me what I thought of her idea.

"Ceaira how would you feel if I made this a weekly thing? So you can come here and talk to me about anything you want."

For the first few minutes we sat there in silence until I managed

"I would like that but what day and what lesson?"

"Ahh yes I will have a look at my timetable and yours and work out what day is best".

I sat alone at lunch I didn't want to hear about the hottest fashion or the latest music all I wanted was my dad back and because I cant I don't want to know about anything.

It was in the last ten minutes of lunch that miss. Hickstead found me and told me that we could meet either p5 on a Monday or p2 on a Friday; I asked her if it would be OK to do it one day one week and the other day the next week luckily she was thinking the same thing.

I spent English and pace sat outside the deputy heads office being asked by every teacher why I was sat there. I couldn't help but sit there in silence continuously looking at my watch wishing that time would hurry up.

Time flew by once I blocked out the world with music and I almost didn't notice the bell and the only reason I didn't was because it was placed behind me.

I was walking towards the door with my music still blocking out the world when I walked right into Mr Jones, without looking him in the eyes I tried to walk passed him but he moved as I moved until it became clear that he was trying to get in my way.

Beginning to get tired I pulled my headphones out of my ears and asked him what he wanted, now looking him in the eyes with a somewhat angry expression on my face he asked me to step inside his classroom.

I stepped inside wishing I had walked a different way wishing that I had walked faster wishing that I could have done anything to avoid this.

"Ceaira take a seat and would you please look at me"

I perched myself on the nearest stool to the door and slowly looked him in the eyes before flicking them towards the window. Mr Jones sat on the stool next to mine and before I knew it he had locked my gaze I was now fixed on his beautiful green and golden eyes.

"Ceaira I must tell you that I know what I want and I know just how to get it"

While saying that he had slowly slid his hand along my leg and leaned forward pursing his lips. I couldn't stop myself I lent forward, closed my eyes and pressed my lips against his, I couldn't help but feel a sensation of joy rush through my body. I put my hands against his chest and once I regained sense I pushed him away stood up and told him that what he wanted to do was wrong.
