Love Isn't Always A Fairy Tale {Teacher/Student Romance}

Chapter 5- Confused

Ethan’s POV*****

I walk out of the lunchroom, and head back to my English Lit. class to get my papers that I left, thoughts of Skylar running through my mind. I can’t believe the words I heard coming out of her mouth at lunch. She looks so pure, so innocent, so…. I run my hand through my hair. I have got to stop this. She is my student, and I am her teacher. I can’t have thoughts like that about her.

“It’s not like she feels the same.” I mutter to myself as I walk in to the classroom. I go to my desk, and grab the papers that I’ll need for my next class. I was about to walk out when I noticed a folded up piece of paper on the floor in the back of the classroom. Which I normally wouldn’t worry about, but I was intrigued because it was near Skylar’s seat. I walk to the back of the class and pick up the paper. I open it and notice it’s a note, and it’s between Skylar and Raeghyn.

I read the note, and I can’t help but smile… I stand there for I don’t know how long staring at the note, memorizing Skylar’s beautiful, feminine handwriting. The ringing of the bell brings my back to reality. I quickly put the note in my pocket, grab the papers that I came into the classroom for, and head to my next class.

“Shit.” I mumble when I hear the late bell. “Great my first day and I’m late for MY class. Yep I’m going to be a great teacher.” I get to the classroom, and open the door. I walk in and I can hear the sighs, gasps, and giggles from all the girls. I roll my eyes; this is going to take some getting used to. I pick up the role sheet and glance across the class. I frown at all the girls that are smiling, winking, and twirling their hair at me.

I look back down at the roll book and decide to just start calling names. I honestly can’t stand all these girls flirting with me. There is only one girl on my mind.

“Jonathon?” I call and I hear a giggle.

“Here, and Gage please Sir.” I scribble the correction on the paper. The name and the voice sound familiar, but it doesn’t hit me until I get to about the 4th name.

“Sky…Skylar?”

“Here” I hear her reply in her sweet, innocent, voice. I know that she’s not all innocent though. I look up and our eyes lock, and I immediately smile. She smiles back at me and I feel my heart beat quicken. My smile fades when I see Gage lean close, and I mean close to Skylar and whisper something in her ear. She blushes and then starts laughing, and my heart stops. I frown and look back at the roll sheet.

Skylar’s POV*****

“Sky…Skylar?” I hear Ethan say, and I smile. The way he says my name gives me Goosebumps. He says it so sexy.

“Here” I reply, and he looks up and our eyes lock. He smiles, and I melt on the inside. I feel Gage lean over, and then I feel his breath on my neck.

“I think someone has a crush on you. He lit up like a Christmas tree when he looked at you.” He whispers in my ear, and I feel my cheeks heaten up and I can’t help but laugh. I glance back up at Ethan just in time to see him frown and look back down at the roll sheet. Why was he frowning? What did I do? I look over at Gage and he just shrugs at me.

He finishes the roll, and like he did in Lit. he is going to give the students a chance to ask questions. I cross my arms on the desk and lay me head on them as I watch all the girls in class raise their hands. I swear they are all acting like whores in heat. It’s making me sick to watch them all smile, and laugh, and twirl their hair at him. One girl winked at him, and I wanted to bitch slap her.

I let out a small groan as I lay my head down. I feel Gage scoot closer to me.

“What’s wrong Sky?” he asks and I look up at him.
