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

Chapter 14

I woke up naturally once my room had started lighting up from the daylight through my curtains.  I hadn't been to school over the last few days and so didn't bother setting my alarm anymore.  I had managed to persuade Zoe to phone the school for me pretending to be my mother.  She didn't like doing it but she knew i needed time.  I dragged myself out of bed and in to the living room,

"hey" Zoe smiled warmly at me as she paused Netflix, "I've called, they said they'll need a doctors note if you're gone next week" she said quietly, i nodded and gave her a weak smile before making my way in to the kitchen.  I jumped at the noise of the buzzer and spun round, "shit, sorry, i forgot he was coming over today!" she leaped off the couch and to the phone, "yeah come up" i heard it slam down and she ran in to her room, i rolled my eyes, knowing she was probably putting make up on and doing her hair as fast as humanly possible. I popped toast in the toaster and went to the door to open it for Max (I'm guessing), just as i did, he was reaching for the handle,

"oh hi! Grace! you...huh?" Max looked at me confused, "you got here fast?"

"what?" i sighed

"you were just at Jacks? I saw your shoes? he said you were sleeping?" My heart dropped and i felt like i was going to be sick. "...what?" Max froze, looking at me confused.  

"is he working today?" i asked through gritted teeth

"yeah he was just leaving...is something wrong?"

"Max hi!" Zoe called as she stumbled out her room, smelling like a baby prostitute, fully dressed with her hair done.  I turned to look at her, she frowned and walked closer, "what...what's wrong?" she walked closer, my eyes filled with tears and i dodged past her, running to the bathroom to be sick. Fuck. Him.

I lingered outside the school until i heard the final bell and all of the students started flooding out.  I kept my hood up and made my way in to the school heading straight for his class, weaving in and out of the pupils.  I got to his class and knocked lightly at the closed door.

"come in" his voice called.  I walked through the door, his back was to it as he was tidying something at the back of the class. I quickly inspected to make sure no one else was in there before slamming it behind me, making him jump and spin around.  His eyes wide as he stared at me, "Grace..what are you doing here?" He put what he was holding down and brushed his hands off, i walked over slowly, the anger had built up inside me so much i was no longer feeling pain,

"didn't think it would be me?" 

"i didn't think of who it would be..."

"well, if Max asks, you can tell him the truth, that it is me.  Unlike this morning." i said bluntly, my arms were folded and my heart was beating out of my chest, i was terrified of knowing the truth.  He sighed and closed his eyes before walking towards me slowly, 

"Grace-"

"you're disgusting.  How long did it take you after i left the other day before filling my spot?" his eyes turn to anger,

"you think that's what it was? that i was hooking up with someone else?!" he laughed before lowering his voice, "i don't know what i was thinking getting involved with a student, i should have known you'd be a childish little brat" His words hit me with a force and i stepped back away from him.  I thought his face might change to regret but he kept that angry stare locked on to me.

"i suppose i should have listened to her from the beginning. She did warn me, after all" i could feel my body needing to burst out in to tears but i was chewing the inside of my cheek to try and prevent it, to try and prevent myself looking weak.
