Hold Me In Your Everlasting Arms

Part 6 Detention

I stopped at my locker to grab my lunch before I made my way to the cafeteria. Or the 'cafe' as my 'hip' principal calls it.

I gripped my poetry journal, sliding it into my bookbag.

I texted my mom telling her i needed a ride home because I had a club meeting and couldnt take the bus.

Things were beginning to look up as i walked towards my friends hearing Lux before I saw her. "All im saying is that I would most definitley fuck him." I smiled at her vulgarity and sat down, "Who?".I asked opening my pb&j

"The English teacher duh" Blake said making fun of Lux. "I still cant believe my mom didnt tell me, i would have worn somethinh cuter!" Emily yelled. Then looked to me pointing the fork from her salad, "Although he kinda looks like that boy you hooked up with!" The three other girls looked at me and i had to quickly come up with something.

"Please, the guy I hooked up with was a way hotter younger version of Mr.Koenig" The girls seemed pleased but Ali couldnt let it go. "Seriously though, what if you fucked a teacher!" I started laughing and Lux elbowed me with a mouth full of noodles "Stay away from my man" she spat which made me laugh even harder.

The day went on less stressful but as 8th period ended I was beginning to be overwhelmed again.

The bell seemed to ring 20 minutes early and i made my way back to Ez- uh, Mr. Koenigs room.

I walked in sitting in the back of the room, i didnt make eye contact with him but instead reached down to grab my books  to start my homework, something fell out but before i could get to it, i heard Ezra clear his throat.

I looked up to see him a few desks away observing me from a more distant view than he had the night of the party.

I noticed he had shut the class room door and also that it was only us in the room.

"I think we should talk," he said authoritatively, grabbing a chair from a near by desk and placing the back of it to my desk where he rested his arms when he sat down.

"Me too" I said matching his tone, he raised an eye brow, shook his head and continued.

"What happened over the summer, was prior to either of us knowing about our present situation . . ." before he continued I cut him off

"We arent in court." he sighed and continued, " I think it would be best for both of us to ignore what happened at Xavier's and continue a professional student/teacher relationship."

"As do I." I said dismissively, i looked at him once during our conversation to see that he wasnt looking at me but next to me, around me, everywhere but me.

He got up, and i handed him my annotated books that I forgot to give him earlier. He turned to walk away but before he moved he hit his hand on the books a few times biting his lip, "Want me to grade these now?" he asked with a less harsh voice

"Sure." I said distracted by Stats homework.

He sat down in the chair accross from me, leaving room for my stats stuff.

"Wow." He said getting my attention after a few minutes. "What?" I asked. He smirked, " These are very well written. . .well thoughtout" He looked up and we made eye contact.

His hazel eyes went through me and i felt a shiver run through my face, appearing as a blush. Goosebumps beganon my arms, then his face went stone cold.

He grabbed the books and walked to his desk, leaving the rest of the hour silent.

I grabbed my stuff at 3 and went to leave. I walked out of his room hearing my name being called. I turned after he grabbed my elbow. "You left this" he whispered through an invisible veil. He handed me my poetry journal and our fingers brushed. "Thanks!" I hastily said breaking away. I sped walk down the vacant hallway that seemed overflowed with my thoughts. I started hyperventalating and couldnt draw the line between fantasy and reality.
