Time Skip: Monday Morning

Jessica's POV

"Jessica!" Layla shouts as she runs up to me, engulfing me into a hug. "Ow. Hey Layla." I mumble. "Shit, did I hurt you?" She asks as she pulls away from the hug. "No. My legs have been aching since Friday night." I mutter as we walk very slowly to first class, gym. "Oh, what happened?" She asks. "I fell down my stairs." I say - completely lying - but, she believe anything you say. "Fuck, you better tell sir then." She says as we eventually make it to the changing rooms. I nod, "Will do." Layla gives me a small smile before walking into the changing rooms. I sigh as I make my way into the gym slowly.

"Sir." I mutter as I walk in. "Hmm?" Simon hums as he looks up at me. "My legs ache like a bitch." I say as I walk over to him. "Firstly, language," He says. "Sorry." I apologize. "Secondly, sorry I guess," He says a bit more quietly. I chuckle, "It's alright." "And lastly, you may sit out then." He smiles down at me. "I was going to anyway." I smirk as I make my way over to the bench. "Oh really." He says as we both sit down. "Mhm." I hum. "You're lucky that I don't mind, you know." He says, raising an eyebrow at me. "I wouldn't care if you did." I simply say. "Fair enough." He says with a small smile.

"Do I still have to stay behind?" I ask as the girls slowly start to make their way in. "Mhm." Simon hums. "Urgh, fine." I groan, making him chuckle. "Oh my God, Mr. Minter just laughed!" One of the girls, Destiny, says. "So?" Simon questions as he walks over to them. "It's a rare thing to hear, sir." She says. "It is?" He asks. All the girls nod, "Very." Layla mutters.

"Well anyway, let's get started." Simon sighs. "Jog around the room." He says before blowing his whistle. All the girls groan, but they eventually begin jogging around the room.

The gym doors fly open to reveal someone I've never seen before along with Mr. Barn. Simon looks straight over at them and quickly jogs over. I sit and watch as they have a discussion about whatever. Mr. Barn then leaves, leaving Simon with some guy on their own. They both then walk in.

"Girls! Gather around!" Simon yells before blowing his whistle. All the girls stop and begin walking over to him, including me. I lean against Layla as my legs are really painful to stand on. "Girls, this is Mr Olatunji. He's also going to be teaching you in this lesson." Simon explains. "Basically, I'm his bitch." Mr. Olatunji says, making everyone laugh. "Anyway, back to work, girls." Simon says. Everyone nods before going back to what they was doing.

Layla helps me back to my seat. "Thanks." I smile at her. "Anytime." She smiles back before rushing off. I watch as Simon talks to Mr. Olatunji; probably filling him on the lesson plan; before jogging over to me. Simon sits next to me, "He's taking over the lesson." Simon sighs as he leans back so his back is against the wall behind us. "Cool." I simply say.

"Simon..." I mutter quietly; almost like a whisper. "Hmm?" He hums as he looks at me. "Can I talk to you, after lesson?" I ask. "Sure." He shrugs. I nod before looking back over at the girls.
