Leah's POV

The next day, T was very stressed. She was stressing last night all the time because of what happened with her friends yesterday. She was wondering if they saw us, which I don't think they did. If they did, they'd call her, or they'd come by. But they didn't..

I tried explaining that to her but she kept stressing. And so we took a nice long and warm bath together, which really calmed her down. Especially when we started kissing.

At night I felt her moving a lot in bed, I knew this must be hard on her, but I don't know why she's not just telling them. I know it's a risk but she can't keep living like this.

So when it was time to get up, it's no surprise that she was really tired. I made her breakfast for once and made our lunch. She was enjoying breakfast but really needed more sleep.

We got in the car and drove to school. We didn't talk much until we had to stop at a red light. I looked at her. "Baby, why don't you go back home to sleep? You're really tired."

She yawned, trying her best to keep her eyes open. "I'm fine."

I raised an eyebrow. "No, you're exhausted. Please go back home and back to bed." I said, taking her hand in mine.

She sighed deep. "I can't do that, baby. I need to go to work."

"Then call in sick."

"With what evidence?" she said, sighing. "No, I'll be fine." she said, looking through the window and suddenly her eyes widened.

"What?" I said and wanted to look but T suddenly pulled me closer and kissed me deeply. My eyes widened but I accepted the kiss and caressed her face as well.

T slowly pulled back and looked me in the eyes. "Whatever you do, don't look back. Heather's in the car next to us."

"Who?"

She rolled her eyes. "Miss Stone."

My eyes widened. "Is she looking at us?"

T nodded. "She won't recognize you as long as you keep looking at me."

I nodded. "I will."

"Thanks." T said soft and kissed me one last time before looking back at the traffic light, it was green now. "Thankfully." she said while driving away.

I slowly looked to the right and saw... Heather... Wow it's strange calling other teachers by their first name... Anyway, I saw her turning towards the school. She's going to question T later, for sure.

T parked the car and sighed deep.

I looked at her. "You know she's going to question you for what she just saw?"

T nodded and closed her eyes. "I'm just so... I just want to be relaxed. I want to have peace."

I took her hand and intertwined our fingers. "Then tell them, you'll feel a lot better afterwards."

She looked at me, she was so worried I could see it in her eyes. "I just can't. How much I'd like to, I can't."

"Why not? They're your friends, they'll accept this."

She let her head rest against the car chair. "I don't know, I just can't."

I was worried about her, she was very tired. "Baby, get in the back."

"What?"

"Come on." I said and got out of the car. T followed my example and got in the back, just like I did.

"What now? Why did we had to get here?"

I went to lay down as best as I could, which wasn't that comfortable, but I was laying down. "Come here." I said, opening my arms.

"Baby, we can't, we have to go to school."

"When's your first class today?" I asked her, raising my eyebrow.

She bit her bottom lip. "In 10 minutes."

I looked at her. "No, it's not. You're first class is in an hour."

"How do you know that?"

"Baby, I know your schedule." I said and opened my arms. "Come on, get in my arms."

She sighed deep but slowly layed down in my arms, her head on my chest, her legs tangled with mine. She snuggled really close and quickly fell asleep.

I smiled at her, she really needed this. I took my phone and sent a message to Sally, telling her that I wasn't going to be in first period. Then I set an alarm that'd go of in one hour.

BEEP BEEP

One hour later, both me and T slowly woke up. T yawned but looked way better now. I smiled. "And, how did that feel?"

T smiled while slowly getting up. "I feel better. Way better."

I smiled as well. "See, I told you." I said and kissed her.

"Yeah, you have some good ideas sometimes." T said, there was a playful hint in her eyes.

"Sometimes?" I asked, gasping. "You mean all the time."

"Sure." she said and looked at the time. "I think we should head to school now." she said, opening the door.

I nodded and did the same, getting out of the car. 

"I'll drop you of at school, if you want."

My eyebrows raised, what was going on? "But isn't that going to be risky?"

T smiled. "I think we're good."

I smiled as well. "Ok, in that case, let's go." I said and got in the car.

_______________________________

I ran towards second period, I was late! I love T so much but when she starts kissing me... It's so easy to lose track of time...

So I was running and when I finally made it to the class, knocked on the door. I entered. "I'm sorry for being late, Miss."

Heather nodded but didn't look to happy, she must hate me being late. After all I interrupted her class. "Just go sit down."

I nodded and hurried to my seat next to Cam. "Where were you?" she asked, she was worried which was very cute.

"I was busy."

"Oh la la, with your girlfriend?" Kevin asked, joining the conversation.

I blushed. "If you really need to know, yes I was."

Cam got mad hearing that. "I don't like that girl."

"You haven't even met her."

Cam looked at me. "Then let's set up a date."

I gulped. "F-fine."

"Yes, what about tonight?" Kara asked, also joining the conversation.

"Or during lunch?" Kevin asked.

"Uhm..."

"Maybe later on?" Sally asked, also joining the conversation.

"Hey!" We all looked to the front, Heather was standing there, looking very angry. "You are all interrupting my class, have some respect and be quiet!" she said, raising her voice. Then she looked at me. "And you, I want to talk to you after class."

I gulped but nodded.

"Now be quiet and pay attention." she said and continued teaching.
