One Night

Chapter 9

"Have you done something wrong?"  Levy asked.

"Other than coming in after break?"  I thought for a moments,  "No.  I don't think so?  Why?"

"Mr Justine came looking for you this morning.  Said he had to talk to you about something serious."  She paused for a moment,  "You don't think he knows about redacted, do you?"  Oh crap.  

"I should probably go to find out,"  I said, "He didn't give any indication of what it was about, did he?" 

"Nothing, sorry."  I groaned.

"Let's get this over with."

I stood in front of Mr Justine's door and knocked.

"Yes?  Come in."

"Hi, sir."  I poked my head around the door,  "Levy said you wanted to see me?"

"Yes.  One of the teachers saw something alarming the other day."

"Oh?"  I asked.  Oh shit.

"Apparently they saw Mr Dreyar outside your apartment and you talking to him."  He continued.  I felt myself sag slightly in relief.

"Yes, he came to talk to me but it was only for a couple of minutes.  I don't think I'll see him again."  I made to leave the room,  "Is that all?"

"No, Lucy.  I understand you might not think it's anything big, but there was a reason he was fired.  And a reason you were suspended.  It's a gross misuse of power on his side, and the fact that he followed you is dangerous."  Mr Justine pressed.

"He just came to apologise but I told him I didn't want anything more to do with him."

"Lucy,"  He warned.

"It's none of your business, sir,"  I snapped,  "I told you what happened.  He's not my teacher, I'm an adult and as a teacher you have no right to interfere in my love life."  Mr Justine sat looking stunned for a few moments.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"I understand, Lucy.  But it did involve the school."  I felt myself wanting to fight back and tried to stop the urge.

"It's my life, I'm fine.  Can I leave now?"  

"Ok, Lucy."  He sighed,  "That's all."

"Thank you,"  I started to leave, "Which teacher told you this, by the way?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that."

"Ok, thanks, didn't think you'd be able to tell me."

"Hey,"  I peeked around Natsu's door.

"Lucy?  What is it?"

"Mr Justine talked to me today."  I told him,  "Apparently a teacher told him about Mr Dreyar talking to me yesterday.  Thank god they didn't see us together."  He nodded slowly and looked back over at his computer.

"Yeah, it was lucky.  Look, Lucy, I don't really have much time now.  Can we talk about it later?"  He asked.  I bit my lip, suddenly realising something.

"I don't think we should.  I think we should break up,"  I said.  Natsu looked up at me.

"What?"  

"I think we should break up.  If someone could see me and Mr Dreyar that easily, then what's to say someone won't see us.  They found out the last time and I can't have them find out again."

"Lucy-"  He protested.

"I know that we can be careful.  But I don't want to risk it.  So, I want to break up."  I stared at him.  "I can't get suspended again and you can't lose your job.  But most importantly, I don't want to think about you the same way I think about Laxus."

"Ok."  His eyes met mine, a blank expression in them, "Ok.  If that's what you want."  He took a shaky breath, before quickly turning away from me to look at his marking.

"It is."  I felt tears starting to prick my eyes.  "I'll see you tomorrow, Sir."

"Make sure you do your homework and come in on time."  

"I will."  I turned around and walked out of the classroom, digging my nails into my palm to stop the tears that were welling up.

"Hey Levy."  I sat down next to her and put my head on her shoulder. 

"Are you ok?"

"No."  My voice sounded too choked up.  Levy put her arm around me and patted my back awkwardly.

"What happened?"  I sniffed and shook my head.

"I don't want to talk about it."  

"Ok."  I sat up and wiped my eyes.  Levy looked concerned and I smiled.

"I'm fine now.  I think I'll go home,"  I said.  She returned my smile, but I could tell that I hadn't convinced her.

"Are you sure?  We still have maths this afternoon?  You'll be able to see you know who..."  She tried to make me smile,  "And you know he hates it when people are late or skiving."  I stood up and started walking away from her.

"It's fine.  Tell him I had bad cramps or something and had to go home. I'll see you tomorrow."  I called over my shoulder.

"Are you sure you're ok now?"  Levy asked.

"Yeah."

This is pretty short, sorry about that.  I tried writing more, but nothing really worked.  I hope you liked this chapter, it's kinda sad and frustrating.

I wrote about half of this whilst I was drunk and now I'm kinda sad I hadn't had a sex scene planned, because I always want to write those when I've had a bit to drink.  I hope you enjoyed this chapter.  Make sure to vote and comment, I enjoy seeing what you think of the chapters.

Stay safe and have a nice day!!  I love you all!!
