Senior Year

Jealousy

"No Demi. we need to have a serious conversation about this." I said placing my hands on her shoulders to lightly back her away from me.

"Okay. then let's talk." she said leading me to the couch.

"Whatever this is, it has to end here. I cant get kicked out of school and you can't lose any chance that you have at getting a real teaching job. I know that technically this wouldn't be illegal because you're not even a real teacher at Lincoln, but still, it's too risky." I said in sorrow.

"You know what. You're right. I guess you have a point. You don't speak of last night and I won't either. Consider it forgotten. But I have some news. So Mr. Scott's mom passed away yesterday morning and resigned from his teaching position. The school called and offered me the job."

"See that's great! It'd be stupid of us to ruin this for you.. Right?" I asked needing reassurance.

"Right. So from now on, i'm your teacher and you're my student. Nothing more."

"I'm glad we're on the same page." I said getting up to walk to the front door. "This is what has to happen."

3 weeks has passed since I last talked to demi outside of school. Class was of course awkward but we started getting used to it. I started talking to a girl from school, Kaylee Randell. She's a really sweet girl and i'm really starting to like her but every time i'm with her, all I do it think about Demi. Every time I kiss kaylee, I miss Demi's lips. Demi and I have only ever shared 2 kisses but god I missed them. I know I have to fight my feelings, though.

Kaylee and I decided to keep things quiet at first because she and her ex had just broken up. But we've slowly started to make our way out as a couple. she'd post a picture of us together here and there but nothing too serious. We weren't even officially together yet. This was a good thing though because we had Demi's class together and I don't want to put her in an awkward position.

After a long 6 classes on this dreadful friday, 7th period finally came. I still lowkey looked forward to going to that class to see demi, though. I sat at my desk in the back and Kaylee walked in sitting next to me. A smile broke out across my face when she walked in and I could feel demi glaring at me from her desk. Kaylees headphones were in as she sat down so I pulled one of them out and whispered to her so that demi couldn't hear but i felt her stare.

"You could take those things out and acknowledge me you know?" I giggled

"You know what I noticed?" she said. "You don't ever post anything about me. I'm always the one posting about you."

"Give me one second." I sat back in my desk pulling my phone out and waiting for the bell to ring for class to begin.

I selected a picture from my camera roll of me and Kaylee and captioned it, 'hey you're kinda cute'.

I sent out the tweet and a loud whistle came from Demi's phone, implying that she had a twitter notification. Her phone was in her purse. I looked over at her and her eyes widened as the bell for class rang. Before she could get into her purse to get out her phone, I sent out another tweet to test my theory that maybe she had my tweet notifications on. Low and behold, her phone whistled again as it was in her hand. Without looking back up at me, she put her phone on silent and read my tweet. She finally looked at me and her face was red in anger and jealousy and i'm not gonna lie I loved it.

'So this is what it's like to see Demi jealous?' I thought to myself.

Class went by fast and the bell rang.

"Emily can I speak with you?" Demi said. I collected my things and put them in my backpack as everyone left the room.

"Whats up?" I asked with a smile on my face, but I couldn't help it. The thought of demi being jealous lit me up.

"I need you to sign this." she handed me a slip of paper.

"A friday school!? For what!?"

"Having your phone out in school. It's in the student handbook. No phones from the time the first bell rings to the last." she said without making eye contact and I was getting pissed.

"Demi no teacher cares about that rule and I wasnt the only one with my phone! I have a clean record, never even had a detention and now you're giving me a friday school over something this stupid just because you're fucking jealous?"

"Okay for starters, it's Miss. lovato, i'm your teacher, remember? yes i'm serious. You can sit down and serve it right now." looking me dead in the eyes she said, " And honey, if you think this is jealous.. you've seen nothing yet." she winked at me and chills went shooting down my spine.
