I know that you love me

MELISSA'S POV

"I don't know what to say. I mean if you are happy then I am happy. I hope that you will succeed in this relationship and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you", I said after hearing Julia out.

"But remember Ken, if you break her heart, I'll break your nose, so, treat her well", I said pointing my finger at Ken.

Ken chuckled at my words and nodded. I hope that he did understand me. I don't want Julia to be hurt again and I don't want to see her suffer because of some idiot.

"With who do you have now?", Ken asked Julia.

"English Course, Melissa and I are going to teach it together this time. And you?", Julia said smiling at me from the rear mirror.

"I am jealous. I have French with the 11th grade", Kenn said unenthusiastic.

"Why? Are you having any problems?", I asked curiously.

"No, it's just that the class isn't that good in French", he said and I nodded.

After a while, we were already at the school parking lot. We took our bags and got out of the car. Ken locked the car and we headed towards the school.

When we were at the entrance, I noticed that one of the students was approaching us. At first  I thought it was one of Julia's or Ken's students wanting to greet them because they were more 'famous' here. However, I thought wrong because the person approaching us was Samantha.

I sighed quietly and begged to God to, I don't know, maybe for her to change her direction?

"Good morning, Mrs. Persch! How are you?!", Samantha said, annoying me with her obnoxious voice.

"I am fine, thank you", I said, not wanting to converse with her anymore.

"Mrs. Persch, I have a question...", she said but I interrupted her, "Not now, Samantha", I looked them over to Ken and Julia and they were giving each other strange looks. They then looked at my sympathetically and I wasn't surprised because I felt sorry for me too.

"But, ", she tried to say, but I ignored her and quickly followed Ken and Julia.

I know that I shouldn't behave like this but who wouldn't have enough of listening to a twelve year old complaining about various everyday, not eating breakfast because of them, and not even being alone with other teachers. It's like she doesn't have friends or anyone to talk to which she has. She's like the popular one in school.

"Ugh! I am sick of this, Juls", I said to Julia as we all made our way to the teachers room. "I am glad that she isn't in our course", I said, sighing.

As we hung our coats on the hanger, she said, "I feel sorry for you", and Ken nodded at her words.

"Julia! It's seven and fifty minutes! We need to go to our class!", Julia looked at the clock then back at me and nodded.

We grabbed our folders and necessities and she kissed Ken on the cheek then we both walked towards our room.

We readied ourselves and the rings that we need and then sat and waited for the students to come.

"Good morning!", I heard one of my favourite students, Melanie, say as she got in with her friend, Joy.

"Oh, good morning", I said as Hulia greeted them too.

When the rest of the students came, I got up wanting to start the lesson when suddenly the door was knocked.

I looked slightly worried at Julia and went to open the door.

Behind the door stood Samantha with a teacher, whose name I don't know. I sighed inwardly.

What the hell does she want now?

"Good morning Mrs. Persch! I am Samantha's history teacher. Samantha came to me and said that history is too difficult for her and that she wants to take course with you instead, would that be a problem if she did?", he said.

Yes, it would be.

"No, that won't be", I replied, trying to be nice but my patience was running out.

"Thank you very much! And have fun!", he said.

Yeah, right.

"Samantha, go sit behind Melanie and Joy", I told her and looked at Melanie and Julia annoyingly.

---------------------------

The lesson passed quicker than I thought, thankfully, and apart from Samantha's unnecessary comments, it was quite ok.

I unpacked my breakfast and I was happy that I could now finally eat in peace.

"Lisa, I am on duty outside. We'll meet in the next break, ok?", Julia said and I nodded.

She kissed my cheek and we said goodbye and I got up to leave the room. When I was at the hallway, a very unpleasant surprise awaited me, Samantha.

"Oh, Samantha, where's your friend, Cindy?", I asked trying to get rid of her.

"She's not at school today, but you are here!", she said cheerfully and I am sure that she lied because I remembered seeing Cindy that day.

"Oh, I understand", I murmured wanting to get away from her but she kept pace.

"I was yesterday at the seaside and I took so much cool photos. I will show you them!", she said as she opened her phone and opened Facebook.

When it loaded, the first picture that caught my eyes, it was a photo of me, I was on her background.

"Samantha! What's that supposed to mean?!", I shouted at her and looked at her with wide eyes.

"But- that's not mine!", she said, trying to make something up.

"Do I look stupid to you? Why do you have a photo of me? You have to delete it now!", I told her and watched as she started to delete it.

I was shocked, it was already sich how she is always around me and talking to me but this, this is more sicker!

"Goodbye Samantha. I hope that this won't happen again, taking pictures of someone without their knowledge can get you into trouble", I grunted and walked towards the teacher's room.

When I approached the room, I was suddenly pulled back by someone, "Melissa!", I looked behind me and Julia was standing there holding my shoulder, panting heavily.

"Melissa, we need you! We need you to drive us to the hospital immediately!"
