Emma POV:

I ran straight into my room and slammed the door behind me. Breathing heavily; I lean my shoulders against the wood. I just kissed him! I freaking kissed my math teacher!

My breathing begins to settle but a lump begins to form in my, already, tight throat. What am I going to do now, what does this mean for us? Us? Us! There is no 'us' Emma!

I collapse onto my bed before scrunching my eyes shut tightly, its just a dream Emma. I take one large sigh before releasing all the tension building around my eyes and face. I slowly open my lids and I am greeted by my white ceiling. This doesn't happen often but everything falls silent. You can't hear my mom watching tv downstairs, nor can you hear the children from next door playing. For some strange reason, everything is silent.

I turn my head to the side to see my iPad lit up. 8:15pm it reads. Woops, I think to myself. I've been so caught up in my thoughts that I completely lost track of time; I even missed dinner!

I sit up and make my way into the bathroom. I turn my shower to the hottest temperature. No shower can be to hot, am I right? I take a step in before flinching at the temperature; but slowly, my skin begins to warm to it. I slowly dip my head back, allowing the water to soak through my long hair. I grab my bottle of shampoo in pour some into my hands. I begin to massage it through my roots and onto my scalp; washing away all my thoughts. Before I get to caught up in my thoughts, I begin to wash the sudds out and continue to wash the rest of my body and before long, I am all refreshed.

I wrap my hair and body up in a towel before making my way back into my room. I change into some sweatpants and a hoodie, eventually curling up into my bed with some hot chocolate. I grabbed my iPad and turned on Netflix. I pressed 'Back to the future' and began to watch it. I couldn't really focus on the movie because my focus always switched to him. My mind could not switch off! It was beginning to drive me insane but slowly, my eyes began to draw heavy. Not long before the film ended, I was sure that I was asleep.

Writers POV:
She awoke that morning with a stuffy head and a sense of regret deep in her gut. But before she had time to dwell she kick started her day. She soon left the house and made her way into school reluctantly. She is on edge: worrying she was going to run in the the person she was deciding to avoid. It was for the best and she would be able to finally forget about it.

"Emma? Emma!" Ruby shouted as she waved her hand in front of Emma's face. "Huh?" She hummed; snapping out of Her torturous trance. "You seem distracted? Has something happened?" She asked nervously. "Oh err, no. Just thinking about my dad, that's all" She replies, clicking her fingers in the process. "Hmm I don't buy it but whatever " she laughs, earning an eye roll from Emma. But the day goes on. And now it's time for her to to go to her last class. Math...

Emma POV:
I slowly walk along the hallway and walk through the door. I am instantly greeted with some piercing blue eyes. I gazed into them a little to long and all I can see is hurt. The guilt deep within my stomach shoots up to my heart and I feel tears burn at the back of my eyes. I open my mouth up to say something but my brain stops me. I tightly close it shut and walk with a firm pace to the back of class. He calls my name for attendance and I reply with a dull "yes sir" The moment I said that he met my eyes with a sharp glare before carrying on with the names.

Class finishes and I make a quick dash out of the door and run out of school. I drive home and throw on some sweats. I tie up my tennis shoes and sprint back out of the door. I take a run through the neighbourhood and along the docks. I run along the planks and back up a quiet street. I walk my way to my special place. It's this quiet park in the forest. I walk through the gate and I see a few families around, nothing new. I take a seat on the swing and rock myself back and forward.

What am I going to do? None of it had really sunk in until now, what on earth have I done? I may have just ruined my chance of the perfect senior year. I could always drop the class but I need it to graduate so it's no longer an option. I feel like that all I am faced with now it him. I have to sit through every one of his classes acting like nothing happened and that no feelings are present. Yes, I came to the conclusion that I did have feelings. Not just a stupid little crush, but I big ball of feelings that would not go away, even if he is my teacher. But it can't happen! He could loose his job and even be sent to jail, and I can't let that happen.

I sigh and close my eyes; hanging my head low. Why can't this go away? I begin to fiddle with my fingers when I feel a sudden presence on the swing next to me. I look up with tear-filled eyes and see him. "W-What are you doing h-here?" I croakily whispered out. And then came the awkward silence. A few minutes had passed and I felt a change in atmosphere. "You're blue, Emma. You're freezing love" He lightly caresses my upper arm with the back of his hand and the cold now comes clear to me. But I let it happen. I quickly ignore his physical touch and repeat my question. "What are you doing here?" I say with more confidence. "It's my (second) favourite place. I always come on a run in here. What about you?" He says nervously. "Err, umm, t-the s-s-same" I idiotically stutter out. "Hmm, I guess were more similar that I thought." He laughs whilst he lightly swings into the side of me. "Yeah" I laugh nervously. But my focus switches again to my hands. "So. About yesterday..." he drags out. And the guilt returns. "Look, I'm r-r-really s-s-Sorry" I stutter out before standing up.

I make my way over to the gate and he follows. "I'm sorry I hurt you" I whisper out as the tears stream down my cheeks. He leans forward and cups my cheeks; wiping my tears away with his forms. He lowers his head so our lips are centimetres apart. His hot breath fans along my lips and I am drawn in.

I close my eyes and take a step back. I look into his eyes. Hurt, sadness, pain, disappointment and anger is what I see. A wash of tears cover his sapphire gems as I take more steps back. "I'm sorry I hurt you" I whisper again before turning and running away.

Because that's what I do best.
