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

Chapter 18

"Grace? A word please?" I heard from behind me.  I spun round and my eyes nearly fell out of their sockets,

"uh, sure" I made my way in to our headmasters office and he closed the door behind me,

"take a seat" he nodded at one of the school chairs in front of his grand desk, "so" he sat in his chair and leaned forward on his elbows, his eyes looked dark.  I could feel my palms sweating, I never got in trouble, what if this is about Jack?

"I've asked you in here to discuss Mr Green" shit shit shit! I nodded slowly and tried to play it cool,

"is he coming back?"

"yes, he is.  However there have been some questions thrown my way which to be honest I have found quite embarrassing to say the least" He cleared his throat before sighing, "Grace, I'm going to just come straight out and say it.  Are you romantically involved with Mr Green?" My heart comes up to my throat, I frown at him and let out a small laugh,

"what?"

"yes I know, it sounds ridiculous, however it is also a matter that needs to be taken very seriously.  You're a good student Grace, but when I have a few different people coming to me with these...rumors...it is only right that I bring you in to question it"

"there's nothing going on, I mean yeah he's one of my favourite teachers but not in that way.."

"mind telling me how?"

"I think it's probably just because he's young and laid back which makes him more relatable, but at the same time he makes us work hard and makes the lessons enjoyable...I hated Physics before he was the teacher.."

"right" he smiled a little, "I have been asked to go to the police station and give a statement, I'm assuming they will ask you too"

"what? why?"

"well because of what happened only a few days ago and the thought of your involvement with Mr Green"

"I've already given a statement!"

"you gave a statement on what happened, however now they're investigating your relationship with Mr Green.  Look Grace, if you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about, however if you have, the police will find out." his eyes suddenly dark again.  He stood up from his chair and walked to the door, I stood up and slung my bag over my shoulder before walking out, funnily enough, I was greeted by two police officers.  From the corner of my eye I saw Poppy running over,

"Grace! Grace what's happening? are you okay?"

"Pop I'm fine, there's been a misunderstanding, i'll see you later" I gave her a warm smile and returned my attention back at the police officers.

I closed the door and sighed before slinging my bag back over my shoulder and heavily stepped down the concrete stairs. I pulled my phone out, dead, surprise surprise.

"Grace" My head shot up and I saw Jason leaning against his car opposite me. I gave a weak smile and walked over. "How'd it go?" he asked, nodding at the police station

"so so" i mumbled quietly, looking at the floor, "I just want to go home, I want to see Zoe and I want to go to bed" I ran my hand through my hair and looked back up at him. I scanned his face and frowned.  His stubble was growing through now and I could see bruising around his eye which the dark night emphasised. I squinted and looked closer, "what happened to your eye?" I asked, I couldn't stop my hand from reaching up.

"Training" Jason turned around and opened the passenger door of his car, "home?" he smiled at me. I nodded and climbed in. I felt so safe around him, i don't know what it is, maybe because he's this massive bodyguard or maybe because I can see that somewhere inside he's quite soft. I watched him walk around the front of the car and opened his car door. I cleared my throat and relaxed back in my chair.  We drove in silence, it was so relaxing watching the street lights go by, I was quite annoyed by the time we reached my apartment. I stared up at them and sighed to myself,
