I stared at the diamond stone in my palm...
I have never felt so unnerved by a piece of jewellery in my life, which brought thoughts of confusion as to why it ment so much.
I looked up at the man who gave it to me trying to search for answers in his dark eyes. Only now noticing the dark mischief that swam deep in them.

"This is Roslyn's earring" I stated as I looked up at Mr Wick.
"Is it? I just found it" he said smirking with his eyes on the earring.

Bullshit...

"Hmmm... You must have known it was hers or you wouldn't have given it to me". He knew I didn't believe him, what shocked me was that he wasn't trying hard to convince me that he didn't know it was hers instead his whole demeanor was lax.

"you got it from her?" I said in a way that sounded more like a statement rather than a question.

"Yea". he just said simply.
"Howww?" I said dragging my words to show my annoyance at the lack of information I was receiving from him.

He just stood there smirking at the earring. His eyes than travelled their way to mine and just raised his eyebrow.

I knew...  Fuck. What was she playing at. I knew she liked him but I never thought she would cross that line.

I gave him a cheeky smile, raised my eyebrows, shook my head and laughed at him in disbelief.
"She probably dropped it in the class room... She's always loosing stuff".

No she's not. In fact she's the opposite. Always keeping her stuff close by. She likes to say that she spent way too much money on things for them to get broken, lost or stolen.
I just decided to play the role of the ignorant innocent girl, who knows nothing about men, women or sex.
I think in this already awkward situation it was best to act like what he said just went over my head, rather than confronting him (which I would normally do. As I enjoy confrontation and protecting my friends)

"She seems to wear that earring a lot. I know you will get it back to he-

"How do you know she wears it a lot" I said in a sudden burst of anger.
Which I quickly covered up with a friendly smile.

"Calm down Krissy" he laughed, his eyes full of amusement and his handsome face widening giving me a knowing smile.

"I am calm Mr Wicks" I said still playing this smiling game but my chest gives me away as it heaves up and down with every breath.

Krissy stop it. Your calm.
I tell myself as the tension thickens between me and this gorgeous teacher.
I could feel myself losing this battle as my unwelcome emotions raise to the surface.
I close my hand around the earring.

I am jealous.
I hate myself for it but I am. And he knows it as well. I know him and I know he gets off on it. It does something for his manhood knowing I am jealous...

He chose her. That makes me jealous. I know its wrong but there were plenty of times he could have been wrong with me. But he chose her?... Or did she pursue him?
Roslyn all of a sudden has no leg to stand on. She is having a bloody thing with a teacher and she didn't tell me... Maybe this is her way of revenge.

I could have laughed out loud. If I thought she was getting with Mr Wicks to hurt me then I need to get over myself I not THAT important.

"I will give it to her' I said not wanting to look at him anymore. As feelings for him I didn't know I had started to stir which caused my heart to hurt alittle and my eyes threat to water.
I put the earring in my pocket zipped it up and walked passed him.

The day was over for me after lunch as I decided to go home and have my study periods there.
I walked to the bus stop alone. I liked leaving at this time cause the roads were quite and still as everyone were either still in work or school.
As I walked to the bus stop I dug my hand in my pocket and started playing with the earring, rolling it around in my fingers.
I hummed to myself as the hot air hits my face taking my thoughts away with it.
I didn't think of Jason Roslyn Mr Wicks or anyone else. Instead I thought about my school work. Making mental notes of what I needed to go over when I get home. I just wanted to do my exams and get out of here and go to university which seemed so appealing to right now.
