The Hot Coach

9. When Lea finds out

Elle

I get into the passenger side of the truck and lean back in the seat, taking a deep breath.

He is a grown man, this never would've worked anyways. "I'll see you later."? Like in school? Is that what he meant? Oh my god. School. School is going to be so fucking weird now. Not only have I called him by his first name but I kissed him. MADE OUT with him. Slept in his bed. Cuddled with him. What the hell is wrong with me?

"You have A LOT of explaining to do." Lea interrupts my thoughts and I know she's going to want every single detail.

"There's nothing to tell. Really, I slept over at his house because I didn't want to drive Jacobs truck back to your house drunk." I shrug and try to sound as nonchalant as possible.

I'm caught off guard when Lea bursts out laughing.

"Bullshit, tell me the real story before I leave your ass right here." She points to the corner of the road and I roll my eyes. I guess I really have no reason to hide this from her. I know she won't tell anyone and I trust her with my life.

"He's my teacher." I say with a sigh and she stays quiet for a moment but I'm too scared to turn and see her reaction. I'm shocked when her hand starts hitting the wheel and she squeals so I look over at her with wide eyes.

"That's where I recognized him from!" She says excitedly like she solved a huge mystery, "he coaches the boys football team! I didn't know he taught at the alternative though. Man I knew I had seen him somewhere I just didn't want to be all up in your man or anything." She calms down and I roll my eyes.

"He's not my man." I argue back and she laughs.

"Do you know how many students have probably tried to get in that mans pants? And you were the chosen one." She says dramatically.

"I did not get in his pants!" I defend myself but it just makes her laugh harder.

"Not yet." She says and I groan, "he'll give in the next time you seduce him. We'll make sure you aren't drunk too."

"Stop, I didn't seduce him. I didn't do anything." I think back to exactly how it happened, in his bed.

"Even better, he did it!" I roll my eyes and give up on this conversation. I know Lea isn't right. This couldn't have happened any other way. It was a mistake, we were drunk and that's it.

Right?

I stay at Lea's house for the rest of the weekend and I'm glad she doesn't bring up Damon anymore. I try to focus on Lea, or think about literally anything else, but Friday night plays on replay in my head. It's all I can think about and I hate it.

I keep thinking about how awkward it's going to be on Monday and how we're going to have to act normal around each other.

It's going to be so fucking weird because of one stupid night.

In the blink of an eye, it's Monday morning and I'm staring at Damon- I mean Mr. Russell's classroom door debating on how I should walk in.

Calm and collected? No. That's so not me.

I roll my eyes and look down at my outfit, regretting my choice.

I bite my lip as I rethink to this morning in my room and the catastrophe of a closet I have now due to changing my outfit a gazillion times. I settled on a maroon crop top and high waisted jeans with sparkly sandals. I made sure the crop top was low cut showing a generous amount of cleavage and now I want to smack myself for forgetting to bring a sweater.

I take one long, deep breath before rubbing my sweaty palms on my jeans and reach for the door handle.

There's no going back now.

Damon

What the fuck does she think she's doing?

My jaw drops when I see who walks into my classroom. Late, I might add.

I clench my jaw before anyone sees my mouth hanging open. She waits for the door to close before turning towards the classroom. She avoids my gaze as she makes her way to her seat. She logs into a computer and doesn't give me a second glance.

Why does she think she can walk into my classroom looking like that, and not say anything or even acknowledge me. I contain myself and decide she should just wait.

Just wait Elle Carter, we are not done.

Authors note:

This chapter was SUPER short, at least a lot shorter than most of the other chapters and it was really just a filler for something EPIC in the next chapter! Keep reading! ❤️

Are there any other characters in the book so far you guys would like to put a face to? Put it in the comments so I could look up a model/actor for them! Thank you so much for reading so far ❤️
