Emma's POV:
*the next day*
I woke up and did my normal thing, getting ready for school. I put a little more effect into my makeup and hair and left the house with my headphones and phone in my hand. I blasted All Time Low in my ears and walked to hell, I saw Phil on the way to school and I shouted
"HEY PHIL!"
He looked back at me and smiled and stopped walking so I could catch up with him, once I did he smiled and said
"Hey, so you planning to stay in lessons today?"
I laughed and nodded
"Hey, did you know we have a new music teacher, he is called Mr Howell, he is so nice!"
Phil replied saying
"No I didn't and you in love Emma?"
I blushed and said
"No! He is a teacher Phil!"
He laughed and we carried on walking to school, we once got there and outside the gates was Mr Howell. I took a deep breath and walked past him, I felt him look at me the entire time I walked into school.
I went to my locker and I was about to shut it when someone grabbed my hair and smashed my face into the locker, I groaned in pain and looked to see my main Bully.....Tom he laughed at me and kicked me in the knee so I fell to one knee
"You're so pathetic Emma, fucking die!"
With that he kicked me in the stomach and I fell on the floor in pain, everyone around me laughed. I felt some liquid escape my lip....great I'm bloody bleeding! I'm gonna kill Tom! Anger grew inside me and I got up and shouted
"WHAT ARE YOU ALL FUCKING LAUGHING AT!?"
With that I stormed off into the girls bathroom, I went into a cubicle and slammed my bag on the ground and fell on the floor crying my eyes out, why me? I know I get angry but that's because if I don't I cry and let people walk all over me.
*TRIGGER WARNING PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOU GET TRIGGERED EASILY!*
I grab my bag and unzip it,I grab a box and take the lid off and grab a blade. I take my tights down and before thinking I drag it across my leg about 10 times. I wipe the blood off my lip and legs and put my tights back up. I leave the cubicle about 5 minutes afterwards and it is next class which I have Mr howell. Maybe he will cheer my depressed ass up.
*TRIGGER WARNING ENDS!!!*
I met up with Phil and went to music, I enter the class and Mr Howell smiles instantly when he sees me, I blush and look away. Me and Phil seat next to each other and the entire time we are doing work Mr Howell is staring at me, I can't help but smile. He smirks back at me and god that smirk could kill a bitch. Can this man not be perfect for a second please?!.....wait Emma he is your teacher stop!
I mentally slapped myself and started to talk to Phil. Mr Howell kept telling me to shut up but I ignored him because why the hell not. He finally got annoyed and shouted
"THAT IS IT! EMMA! DENTENTION WITH ME AFTER SCHOOL!"
I rolled my eye but then smirked and said
"Ok."
I then mumbled "handsome"
Mr Howell looked at me shocked.....shit he heard me, I looked at my desk my cheeks burning a bright red colour. Lesson ended and I darted for the door.
*skipping the rest of the day*
It was the end of the day and I went to the gates and realised I have to see Mr Howell for an hour I was heading back into school when Tom pushed me over and made me cut my leg on a table next to me. He laughed at me and said
"You waste of space!"
With that he left, I got up slowly and went to music, my knee is killing me, blood is pouring from my knee because I got the corner of the table and then the concrete, I pushed Mr Howell's door open and he looked at me, he smiled but then looked at my knee and said
"Oh my god, what happened Emma?!"
"Nothing, I fell"
He walked right up to me and looked me in the eye and said
"Please don't lie to me."
I looked at him and said
"Tom did it, he bullies me."
Mr Howell looked at me with so much compassion in his eyes and he did something I wasn't expecting, he hugged me and I felt so safe and happy in his arms, I didn't want him to let go but he sadly did. He said
"Sorry that happened to you"
I said
"It's fine it isn't a massive deal."
Really it was because little things like this I mentally beat myself up about for hours on end after school.
I sit in my seat and Mr Howell gives me so work and says
"Complete this and you can go home"
"Ok thanks Mr Howell."
"Please you can call me Dan after school hours."
I nod and start my work, I finish with 20 minutes to spare and we just talk about our hobbies, we actually have a lot in common. The detention ends but I don't wanna leave, when ever I'm with Dan I feel safe and well....happy and I know when I leave this room I'll be sad and hopeless again. Dan sees me sad and comes up to me and says
"Emma is everything ok?"
I lie and say
"Yeah."
"Why lie?"
Dan manages to say to me, I look up from the desk and said
"I'm not!"
He looks at me straight in the eye and says
"There is something about you Emma, something that I can see eats you up inside, you act all tough but really you are hurting. Let me inside?"
I shake my head and said
"Dan you can't know, if you do you will think I'm crazy."
He somehow gets closer and says
"Darling, I would never think you're crazy!"
I get goosebumps and lower my head, Dan puts his finger under my chin and lifts my head and says calmly
"Please let me in, I won't hurt you."
For some reason I can trust this man with my life, it's like I've known him my entire life but I don't want him to know because he will leave me, he will think I'm insane like everyone else. He will believe I'm an attention seeker.
"I'm sorry Dan, I can't."
He nods with disappointment in his face, I hate seeing him like this. I then say
"I'm sorry Dan."
With that I get my bag and leave the classroom, before I open the door I hear Dan mumble
"I just want to protect you."
I stopped and looked at him, he looked me straight in the eye and that was it, from that moment on, I fell for Dan Howell and I fell for him hard. I love this man. I left the classroom with a tear in my eye, no boy/man showed so much care as Dan has done in 2 days! Maybe I can tell him?
