In Love With Mr. Green [student/teacher relationship]

Chapter 2

I rolled myself over and slammed my hand down on my alarm clock to shut it off. I lay there for about a minute, contemplating whether i should just skip the first day of school, it won't be anything important right? I finally pull myself up and throw my legs out the side of the bed

"ahh" i mumble as i stretch my arms above my head, i finally open my eyes and i'm greeted with a groggy looking scruffball that is my reflection, "Ugh" I stand up and rub my eyes walking towards the bathroom Zoe and I shared.  It had been quite awkward with us since Saturday night, she knew she said wrong and shouldn't have stormed off, however what was taking up my thoughts was Jack.  I was searching on Facebook all day on Sunday but without a surname, there are a lot of Jacks out there.  My new plan was to go back to that club on Saturday and see if he was there, obviously i would make it look like a coincidence but i just want to see him again.  I've never been even close to a man that has made me feel the way he did.  I only have one ex boyfriend and we weren't together for that long, i guess deep down i knew he wasn't 'the one' as we never did anything more than kissing and occasional touching, but even then, that was over the clothes.  I just never felt comfortable.  However, Saturday night i experienced lust, i experienced what it feels like to crave someone, the need to have them in any way shape or form, no closeness is close enough.  I shake my head to snap myself out of my thoughts and have a quick shower, already thinking about what to wear next Saturday. After a quick wash and wash of my hair i hurry back in to my room and close the door, i have 20 minutes, shit.  I reach for my school uniform that i ironed and hung up yesterday ready for this morning.  I wish i could wear my own clothes, i finish getting dressed and look at myself in the mirror, i sigh and move on to my hair, only being able to dry it on the lowest setting on the hairdryer in case i wake up Zoe. I eventually give up and do a quick fishtail plait that comes over my shoulder and pull out some sections to give it that 'messy' look.  For make up i just apply a small bit of concealer under my eyes and some mascara, i'm not really much of a make up person.  I grab my bag, sling it over my shoulder and run out the door, down the shared stairwell of the other flats and down on to the street

"there she is, how you been?" Ben greets me with a massive smile and a hug, he opens the passenger side door of his car for me and i climb in, Ben has been mine and Zoe's gay best friend for a g e s now, more often than not he will give me a lift to and from school as he doesn't live that far away, at least until i finally save up enough money for driving lessons that is,

"yeah i've been good, it's so nice to see you, how have your summer holidays been?" i ask, with Ben talking about his summer i know i can just sit back, relax and listen.  Ben is the best story teller, he can make anyone laugh or even just interested in what he has to say, i smile and look over at him.  He's slim and very tall and so sit's back quite a bit from the steering wheel, he's actually a very attractive guy i notice as i watch him tell me his stories.  We pull up in the school carpark and he's still telling me about his summer romance with a new guy that's just moved down here and will be in our school, i wan't to tell about my one night brief romance but i know there's no point, not until this weekend when i see him again..i hope.  We say our goodbyes and head towards our different form rooms ready to start the morning of seeing which subjects we have and when.  I sit next to a new girl in our class

"Hey, i'm Grace, are you new here?" I ask trying to be friendly, there's nothing worse than being the new kid and feeling like you have no one, she looks at me, nods quickly and smiles

"I'm Poppy! Yeah i'm new, your school is massive, i don't think i'll ever find my way round it!" She looks at me and i see the genuine worry in her eyes.  We spend the next hour chatting about her last school and her boyfriend and friends at home, "thank you so much for sitting with me, no one else has even looked at me so far!" she says nervously
