Marnie's P.O.V
Monday had come along, meaning the start of another week of school. I had officially been living with Paul. He was insisting on driving me to school.
"No. What if someone gets suspicious when they see me in the car with you?" I said.
"You were fine with me driving you home from school before" Paul said.
"I know. I just don't want someone starting rumours about us to ruin our marriage" I said.
"I know, love, I don't either. It's a good thing I called Lola and told her to pick you up" Paul said
"Thanks Paulie" I said. He wrapped his arms around me.
"How about when we get home, I make a wonderful meal for us? We can have a romantic night" Paul suggested.
"I'd love that" I said, looking up at him. He smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
"I love you, my beautiful wife"
"I don't think I'll get used to hearing you call me that" I said with a giggle. Paul leaned in and pressed a kiss to my lips. I melted into his kiss, but only until there was a knock on the door.
"That's probably Lola" Paul said. He walked over to the front door and opened it.
"Hello Mr. McCartney" Lola said.
"You can call me Paul, y'know"
"Alright then, Paul. Is your wife ready to go?" Lola asked.
"I'm ready when you are Lola" I said.
"Then let's head out. See you in school Paul" Lola said
"Bye Lola. I'll see you at lunch, darling" Paul said. With that, Lola and I went out to her car.
"I can't believe you're married to a teacher!" Lola said
"No blabbing about it to anyone" I said
"Why would I ruin it? You two are cute together, and I don't need you two signing divorce papers" Lola said
"Thanks Lola. You're an awesome friend" I said
"Do your parents know you're living with Paul?" Lola asked.
"Mom does. I don't think dad does. Mom said he found a place of his own and moved in. He also has a roommate but I don't know who it is" I said
"You don't think it's Jane, do you?" Lola said
"God, I hope not" I said.
"What if she becomes your step-mother?" Lola said
"Eww! Lola, don't even think like that!" I said
"Yeah, it grosses me out as well" Lola said.

When we got to the school, Lola and I hopped out of the car. I saw Paul a little ways from us. We made eye contact, causing him to wink at me.
"Aww! You two are just too cute, it should be a crime" Lola said.
"You are seriously embarrassing" I said
"But you love me!" Lola said. We made our way inside the school. Lola followed me to my locker as she always did.
"Marnie, don't look now but here comes Andrew" Lola said. I turned my head to see Andrew approaching us.
"Did you two hear the news?" he said.
"What news?" Lola asked.
"Mr. Benson got fired"
"Really? What for?" I asked
"I guess the principal caught him with Amber Daniels. Apparently they were having an affair and they weren't careful enough and got caught, so Mr. Waltz fired him" Andrew explained. I could feel my stomach drop. Mr. Benson was having an affair with Amber? And they were caught! What if Paul and I are next?
"Hey Marnie, are you okay?" Andrew asked
"Y-yeah. So who'll be teaching me English now?" I asked
"I don't know, but can you believe what happened? What the hell was Amber thinking, getting involved with a teacher? That was so stupid of her to do" Andrew said
"Yeah, it was. Excuse me but I need to go find Mr. McCartney" I said. I quickly ran off to Paul's classroom.

When I got to his classroom, I could see Paul was on the phone. I knocked on his door, causing him to look in my direction. He motioned for me to come in. I did so and shut the door behind me. I allowed him to finish his conversation.
"Alright Jane. You're just picking up your things right? I have plans tonight with someone. Yes, with her. She happens to be my wife now. Bye Jane" Paul said, and then hung up the phone.
"I wasn't expecting to see you until lunch" Paul said. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. He started leaving kisses along my neck.
"Paul, there's something we need to discuss" I said.
"Mmm" he hummed.
"I don't know if you know this, but my English teacher was fired" I said.
"What for?" Paul asked.
"He was caught having an affair with a student" I said. Paul pulled away and looked deep into my eyes, which were starting to swell with tears.
"I'm scared we're going to get caught now Paul" I said.
"Hey now. Don't cry," Paul said wiping my tears. "We won't, I promise. We've been careful so far, haven't we?"
"Yes" I said
"Then we'll be fine. If someone finds out, I'll quit before I have the chance to get fired" Paul said
"But what if you have to go to prison?" I said
"Your mother gave us permission marry didn't she? The only thing I have to worry about is my job, even then you come before it" Paul said. I couldn't help but smile.
"You really mean that?" I asked
"Of coarse. The bell is going to ring soon. You should head off to your first class" Paul said
"Alright. Can I still come by at lunch?" I said
"I'd be upset if you didn't" Paul said.
"I'll be here, don't you worry" I said. Paul gave me a quick kiss before I left the classroom.

Second period soon came around. I was excited to see who the new teacher was. As always, I was the first one to class. I looked on the board and saw a name written on the board.
Mr. Harrison
So that's his name. He just better not be one of those teachers that gives the whole class detention when only one student talks.
"Marnie?" a voice spoke my name. I turned around and saw the familiar face.
"George?"
