Echoes Down The Corridor

Love & Lessons

A/N: Part 3 - had trouble uploading this so it may have been added twice :\

As I enter the room, her warm, inviting smile washes over me like a comforting blanket. The urge to kiss her smouldering lips is almost unbearable - I would take her here and now if it wasn't for the 31 other adolescents in the room, more focused on the break due in less than an hour and oblivious to the tension between us. Smiling too, I take my seat, eager to finish the lesson and simply gaze at the blonde-haired goddess in front of me that I am slowly falling for.

"Abby," The sharpness of her voice shatters my racy daydream (involving me, her and a very luxurious hotel suite) and propels me back to the lesson I lost track of 15 minutes ago. "Welcome back from outer space. Here on Earth, we've been discussing Miller's views on theocratic society. Can you give us your opinion?" The heightened sarcasm in her voice is heavenly music, and the sharp twinkle in her eyes causes me to panic as I obviously haven't been paying attention.

"Oh come on Abby, don't screw this up" I say internally as I come up with an answer. Luckily, my revision guide open on my desk has enough, and I simply re-word what is in front of me.

"Ok, moving on" she smiles, and I once again lose myself in a daydream.

At the end of the lesson, she calls me over to her desk. "Abby, next time I would like to hear what you have to say, not what's in the book" she says as I hang my head. "Or I will have to ask you to tell the class exactly what's on your mind," she finishes with a half laugh, her beautiful smile wider.

"Oh, I don't think that's a particularly good idea Miss," I say with all sincerity "It could be rather embarrassing. For both of us" I finish with a wink as I toss my rucksack over my shoulder and saunter out of the classroom, leaving her bewildered and laughing as she packs away to leave...
