Prince Charming // L.T (On Hold)

Chapter Fourteen

She doesn't break her stare away from me and i feel this immense of nervousness wash over me. Her hair falls onto her face and she quickly sweeps it behind her ear. "Well?" She drums her fingers with her good hand on the table. I try to swallow the lump that has formed in my throat.

"I-I u-um."

"Come on spit it out." She says.

"H-how a-are you?" That is honestly the best I could do. Her stare is so intimidating and I would rather not talk to her right now.

"I been better." She honestly replies. She winces a bit when she moves her arm and I grow concerned for her.

"A-are you o-okay?" I ask her and I kind of cringe waiting for her to reply rudely or for her to just basically loose it.

"Yeah I'm fine." She looks down onto her desk and runs her index finger back and forth. A few minutes go by and I begin to speak to her.

"W-what happened?"

"I fell." She flatly replies. I hear her voice break as she speaks and I can't fight the urge to think that she didn't just fall.

"A-are y-you sure?" I don't look up at her instead I have my gaze fixated on my notebook.

"Yes. Now drop it." She hisses at me and I slightly cringe at the tone of her voice. I tap the end of my pencil against my notebook as the whole class is silently working. After a few minutes of complete silence Ella starts talking to me again.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't of snapped at you like that." I turn to look at her but she's just staring up ahead at the board and I can she her eyes move from left to right; reading all the maths equations.

"It's o-okay." I quietly reply. The rest of class goes by quickly and I see Ella struggle with her book bag; which oddly enough I noticed until now. "N-need help?" I ask her. She shakes her head but winces as she tries to sling it across her torso.

"Ow fuck." She groans. I don't know what comes over me but i take her book bag and carry it. She gives me an odd look but doesn't say anything. I follow her to her next class and hand her book bag, her hand slightly brushes against mine and I feel this jolt of electricity coursing through my body and I look into her eyes and I something in them. She quickly averts her eyes and turns to leave without saying one word to me.

I begin to walk towards my next class when I see Principle Hart; Ella's dad, talking to another teacher.

"I can't stand having her in my class. She never comes to class and when she does she's always so disrespectful and always disrupts my class. I'm not even sure how she's even passing my class. I am convinced she is cheating, because it is not possible that a student who never comes to class has an A." The teacher who has her hair cropped into a pixie cut, exclaims.

Mr. Hart softly chuckles and pushes his glasses up onto the bridge of his nose. "I know she can be a bit overwhelming-"

"Overwhelming? That girl is a menace." The teacher points her long skinny finger towards him.

"All I am saying is she's not cheating and-"

"Yes she is, it's not possible for a student to get perfects scores when she's doesn't even come to class. If this was another student they would of been out of here. But since she's your daughter, you don't do shit about it." She sneers. "Don't get me started when she come to class all beat up."

"Let me stop you there. First of all I should remind you that I am your boss and you can't talk to me that way and second of all don't go prying into something that doesn't concern you." He huffs and starts walking away. He glances over to me and I quickly look down at the floor and begin to quicken my pace. My cheeks begin to flush when I realize he has caught me listening in to their conversation. Luckily he didn't tell me anything and kept walking to wherever he was heading.
