Breaking the Rules [Student/Teacher Romance]

Chapter 15

I squirm in my seat, why is he being so off with me?  Since I walked in to the class he hasn't looked me in the eye once, and he's already snapped at another student.  I spin around to take my paint water to the sink when I hit something hard and fall back, feeling the water splash all over me.  My mouth forms a perfect 'O',
"Shit! I'm so sorry!" I look up at Justin, one of the more popular, and very attractive,  kids in my art class, who now has dirty brown paint water all down his front,
"It's fine" he laughs, reaching out a hand to help me up,
"Oh my god" I cover my face in my hands, "I'll fix it" I grab paper towels and start dabbing his shirt, "I'm so so sorry" I shake my head, I feel his hard chest and abs flex under my hands and it snaps me out of my panic, I look up at him to find he's watching me with a massive smile spread across his face, "uh" I blush, "here" I hand him some paper towels and drop my hands,
"is this for me to do you?" he smirks, looking down at my no longer white tshirt which has gone see through in places,
"Tidy yourselves up please" Will's voice is deep from behind me causing me to jump,
"It's alright Sir, Mia just needed to touch me up so pretended to fall" Justin smiles, flashing his perfectly straight teeth,
"you can save it for outside of the classroom" Will heads back to his desk.  What's his problem today?!
"You busy tonight, Mia?" Justin crosses his arms over his chest, obviously doing it to show his muscles,
"uh, I-uh, no?"  I stutter,  looking down at myself as I try to soak up some of the water with a paper towel.
"I'm having a party, you should come" he smiles, "you seem pretty shy so you can bring your friend if you want.  He winks and leaves me to stare as he walks over to the sink, leaving me in thought.  I finally swallow and turn back to my desk.  I can feel Will's eyes burning in to me but I'm too scared to look up.  I quickly pack my things and take what's left to be washed to the sink before returning to my bag, slinging it over my shoulder and walk out the door before he can call me back.

"it's not a good idea, it's never a good idea"
"Mia, a party is always a good idea" Hannahs eyes light up.  I sigh,
"he asked me right in front of Will, and after the last time...I don't really want to drink" I nibble my lip and stare out of the car window.  We've been sat in front of my house for about 10 minutes, Hannah trying to convince me to go to the party.
"Ok but didn't you just say he was being really off with you?  Make him jealous! Plus if you haven't even spoken to him then he won't know you're there"  she shrugs,
"Han" I roll my eyes, "you're terrible" I laugh, shaking my head, "Right, let me lay down some rules" I sigh.  She sits up straight in her seat and nods. "Okay, one, you can't leave me on my own. Two, no going off with guys, it's a girls night. Three, I won't be drinking there. I will drink getting ready and maybe even take my own drink, but that's it"
"Deal" she shakes my hand, "but you know once you get a couple of drinks in you, those rules won't apply",
"oh and four you can't get it on with my brother tonight" I smirk,
"Uh hang on, I shook your hand before that rule" Hannah holds her hands up,
"whatever you two do, I don't want to know about it. You've kept it from me until now so you can keep keeping it from me" I shudder,
"I don't know what you're on about" she clears her throat,
"I got water in the middle of the night last night and Mindy being parked outside gave it away" I arch my brow and she smiles and cocks her head,
"Love me?" 
"Always" I groan, rolling my eyes.

"Let me know if you need me, if anything happens" Sam nods at me as he pulls up Dads car outside Justins.  I take a deep breath,
"I'm fine" I smile at him. He must remember what I told him.  I open the door, "Thank you Sam" I shut the door behind me and look up at the house, it seems oddly quiet for a party.  Was this a joke?  I step away from the car and frown, I turn around and see Hannah kissing Sams face off.  I almost feel myself turn a bright shade of green.  She giggles climbing out the car and hooks her arm in mine.
"You're disgusting" I mutter, "that's like me going for your dad or something"
"You do like older men" she winks.  As we get closer to the door we hear the sound of people talking and laughing with a faint sound of music. I follow Hannah like a little puppy dog around the back of the house.
"Who invited you" I step around Hannah and see Ella, hobbling over towards us on the 6 inch pins she's got strapped to her feet,
"ugh let's just go" I turn around but Hannah grips my hand to stop me,
"Justin did" she says confidently, Ella scoffs and rests her hands on her hips, her little minions make their way over to stand behind her,
"Justin would never have invited you two" she looks us up and down,
"Mia! You made it!" I hear Justins voice and see him walking towards us with a smile on his face. I glance at Ella's face and watch it drop, "come inside" he nods at the house, "get a drink"
"Told you, bitch" I mutter and saunter in to the house.  Justin's family were obviously very well off, you can tell a lot about someone in the first few minutes of knowing them.  He's probably actually very lonely, I bet his parents work away a lot and so he fills the space with people, like Ella, round, so they can get drunk and he'll pass out.
"Mia?"  His voice snaps me out of my thoughts,
"hm?" I ask, dazed,
"What can I get you?" he laughs,
"Oh uh, I'm ok actually, I came prepared" I hold up a bottle of already mixed vodka and coke and smile sheepishly,
"I'll have whatever you're having" Hannah bats her eyelashes at him.  I help myself to a solo cup and pour my drink,  I glance to make sure he isn't looking and I hide the bottle in the fridge,
"Ladies" he nods outside and we follow him outside, he leads us away from where we came in and in to a whole other group of people,
"holy shit"  I gasp, a pool?!  "you...have a pool?" I blink at Justin, he just responds with a shrug and leads us closer,
"yeah?"  We sit down on some chairs, no one has looked our way yet which I'm quite thankful for, I feel so out of place here already and it's only just started.  I see Ella and her sidekicks slither round the corner, she throws her hair over her shoulder and goes straight for the drinks table, "hey I'll catch up with you later" Justin nods and jogs over to a group of guys.  The music gets louder and I take a long sip of my drink,
"well" I sigh, leaning against Hannah,  "are we part of the cool kids yet or are we their party trick?"  I give her a weak smile,
"Mia, don't give me that, lighten up" she shrugs me off, "we will show these people the best time they've ever had" she nods confidently, I scoff,
"how do you plan to do that? Sleep with them all?"
"Mia, you don't have to have a gang bang for it to be a good time" she rolls her eyes, "no, we'll let everyone get relaxed and we'll start some game or something, truth or dare, never have I ever, spin the bottle, whatever" she takes a big swig of her drink, "if we are the joke, then we'll have to make sure they think differently by the end of the night and invite us more often."  I take a deep breath, still not convinced.
