Trixie's pov:

I got right to work setting up my classroom. I had decided that I want it to be colourful but also not tacky. I want the kids to feel like this is a good place to be I want the colours and decorations to inspire them. Because of those Idea's I went overboard basically re-doing the entire class room taking a few breaks in between but I also really just wanted to keep myself distracted and busy so I wouldn't have to think about Katya being away or the fact that I'm all alone again, just like in highschool.

After many hours of decorating I sat back at my desk and saw it was already 7:00 pm I had been here for five and a half hours. Katya's flight already landed two hours ago. I pulled out my phone and looked at my world clock, it was 2:00 am the next day. Katya probably won't call or anything yet and I didn't want to wake her she was probably exhausted from her flight so I rolled up to my computer and started sorting my file for each class and lesson the book shelve can wait until tomorrow. My eyes drooped as I typed but I kept going dragging and dropping the files. I don't want to go home to an empty house.

" Ms. Mattel." I heard as someone poked my shoulder. I opened my eyes and looked up to see Raja or Mrs. Gemini.

" Wha hmmm yes." I said sitting up quickly and fixing myself.

" You fell asleep how early did you get here?" she asked.

" Uh pretty late into the day maybe like 2:00 or something." I said stretching.

" Trixie it's only 9:00 am you fell asleep all night." She said a little surprised.

" Oh shit Turkey!" I shot up from my Rollie chair and scrambled for my purse and keys.

" Turkey?" Raja followed me out as I shut off the lights and locked the door.

" oh yea that's my roommates Cat I haven't fed him since I left yesterday." I said giving an awkward smile.

" why didn't you just go home when you felt tired you still have like three weeks to plan and from the looks of it your almost done." Raja followed me down the halls.

" I Uh heh I don't like an empty house my roommate and girlfriend is away," I said before I realized what I said. shit! A gay teacher in America isn't really the best thing to be " I uh I she isn't like my girlfriend, girlfriend just like girl friend you know my best friend." I tried to lie doing a horrible job.

" It's fine Trixie love is love but I would be careful especially around the parents and principal O'hara." Raja said lighting up a cigarette once she was official off school property. I liked her she was the art and sewing teacher so she knew what I went through as the music teacher, no respect from the other " Real" teachers.

" Yea thanks." I said standing on the side walk waiting for an uber.

as soon as my phone was off the school wifi I got a bunch of missed calls and texts from Katya and Violet? I opened my texts from Katya first figuring it was 4:00 pm there. she had texted me telling me she had landed safely and that she was back at her hotel. she also told me to call her on WhatsApp.

" Hey Kats how-"

" Finally Trixie why the hell didn't you answer the house phone last night I tried that after you didn't pick up your cell." Katya said letting out a sigh of relief.

" sorry I fell asleep at the school." I said embarrassed.

" at the school? why did you go in so early Trix you still have like three weeks." Katya said confused.

" Because I miss you and don't like being alone in an empty house it makes be sad and anxious so I distracted myself." I whispered feeling bad for not Only Turkey but now Katya too.

" Aww Trix it's okay I went to a few meetings today and I should only be away for about maybe two months maximum." she said her voice getting higher the more guilty she felt.

" Okay Kat that's okay its not too long plus Amy should be back on Friday." I said not wanting her to feel bad. she couldn't help it, it's her job.

" so when did you get to the school yesterday?" She asked shifting the phone by her ear causing a little muffling.

" around 2:00 I think." I said watching the street for my uber.

" why so late what were you doing before you were definitely awake when I left around 9:00." she said her voice smug at the memory of how she left me all worked up.

" well I had to finish what you couldn't." I said feeling cheeky and confident.

"Oh whoa, whoa, whoa I could've finished I just wanted to leave you thinking of me." she said suddenly getting defensive but still joking.

"well you definitely left me thinking of you." I said playing with my hair.

"you touch yourself and get off thinking about me Trix." Katya said her voice breathy and low.

" Yes." I whispered back.

" stick you hand in your panties imagining it was my face." she kept going.

" Katya" I hissed as I saw my uber rounding the corner.

" what Trixie I'm just asking about your day, your the one who did this remember." she said in her taunting tone.

" I fucking hate you." I said crossing my legs as I stood on the sidewalk trying not to look obviously horny.

" You love meee." she sang into the phone with a laugh.

" Yes I love you." I said then stopped the line silent both of us realising what we said.

" I know it's soon but I mean it Katya." I said breaking the silence.

" Me too I mean It." Katya said. The words were like a needle that popped the growing ballon of worry in my chest.

" Kat my Uber is here I gotta go. But I am glad you love me" I said waving to the driver as he pulled up.

" okay wait first of all you said you would do some driving and two next time you get off to me facetime and show me yeah?" she said laughing into the phone

" I said some driving and Oh My God your the worst but I love you bye." I said opening the car door.

" Love you too." she said blowing a kiss into the phone from the sounds of it then hanging up.

I gave the driver my address then I looked through my texts from Violet.
