"I'm sorry"

Her blue eyes, Her pink lips.

She was there standing beside me under the shade of tree, some rays dancing on her face and I was lost again, lost for words to speak, lost for  tears to shed for she was there and it was real.

"Here" She extends her hand giving me a peach dianthus flower,it was pretty,

"Found it in the school garden."

She shrugged and looked the other way hoping that I won't catch her blushing,

"Thank you, it's pretty, well not as pretty as you but"

I muttered under my breath but her pink cheeks were a clear give away that she heard it.

"Isn't plucking flowers from school garden prohibited?"

I quipped sarcastically to cover up the earlier slip

"Aren't rules made to be broken?"

She sassed back at me

We were silent again when she spoke in a faint whisper,

"I didn't mean to snap at you, I.. I am sorry."

"It's Ok Mrs. Li-"

"Hannah, I told you to call me Hannah when its just us"

"Hannah"

I squeaked, and maybe that's when it dawned on me that it was not just a simple crush or an innocent infatuation, it was real and divine.

"It's fine, you have many important works than assisting me in detention, I understand."

"T-thank you for coming here even though there was no need and you can go, there must be work waiting"

I knew I was rambling but hey, I am a lucky bitch if my hot headmistress came all this way to apologize to me, with a flower from our own school garden.

"Yes, there is a lot of work"

I nodded disappointed that she was going,

"But I want to stay, here with you"

Here with me

If I was not this shocked I would have cried some happy tears.
We didn't know how much time we spent looking into each other's eyes when a loud horn pulled us apart,

My mother was standing leaning on the car hood arms crossed over her chest, an eyebrow raised,

I watched as my mom reached us and looked at us expectantly,

"Mom, t-this is my headmistress Ha- Mrs. Lively"

I worried my lower lip as I corrected the slip of her name and looked towards Hannah, but maybe she didn't notice the slip because she seemed pretty focused on the lip between my teeth.

A cough bought her back into reality and the pink on her cheeks was maybe the most adorable thing.

"Mrs. Turner, Nice to meet you"

"Same here, and call me Eva please,
Mia talks a lot about you."

A smirk and a raised eyebrow was thrown my way and I squirmed under the scrutiny.

Way to go Mom

"Mia is an amazing girl and very special to me."

Special to her

She looked at me and smiled a sweet genuine smile and anyone would have laughed if they knew what the simple words did to me.

"Well we must head home, have a good day Mrs. Lively"
