IN LOVE WITH MY TEACHER - CHAPTER 35&36
Slowly and slowly, Scarlett’s eyelid joined together as it closed, she kissed him back.
It lasted for two minutes then Scarlett got back to herself and pushed him off softly.
“What was…..”
“You kissed me back”he said with a mockery smile.
“Woah!”she chuckled sarcastically, ruffling her hair in frustration.
Noah took her luggage from her but Havana held his hand.
“Why are you acting like I’m invisible?”Havana asked, almost tearing up.
“Aren’t you?”Noah said and she blinked, her eyeballs almost falling off.
“Did you just…..say that to me?”Havana stuttered.
“You have a lot of guards so no harm would dare come near you, also get a drive cause I didn’t come for you”he said, dropping her hand then he held Scarlett, taking her away despite her struggle.
The taxi Mimi came on with pulled over just when Noah pulled Scarlett in the car..
“Scarlett!”Mimi shouted as she came down from the taxi but she wasn’t quick enough cause Noah already drove off roughly.
“Where are you taking me to?”Scarlett asked after a while into the drive.
“That’s what you could say after not seeing me for three days now?”Noah said and she scoffed.
“I didn’t ask you to wait for me to gain a I miss you from me”she scoffed.
“That hurts”he muttered and she looked at him, seems he means it cause he isn’t smiling.
“Drive me home”she said and looked away.
“You promised on taking me to an amusement park”he said.
“Not today, I’m stressed right now”she said.
“I registered you in Delight High as a student”he said.
“What!”she gasped.
“You might wanna reject so I did same for Mimi”he said and she blinked.
“Are you crazy! Who says I wanna attend Delight High!”she screamed and he stopped the car.
They’re on an highway.
“Why? Everyone’s dreaming of it”Noah said.
“Not when there are bullies, who would wanna attend such school when there’s no fun”she scoffed.
“There’s fun though”he said.
“As if”she scoffed.
“Tell me what your own type of fun is?”he said and she sat right, flinging her hair also.
“Listen”she said with a demonstrative manner. Noah was quick to take a photo of that.
“Delete it”she snapped.
“See for yourself”he gave her the phone but she saw nothing.
“I didn’t take the photo”he lied and she gave it back to him.
“Now listen, our definition of fun is meeting up with your friends first thing for the day, taking lectures together while we make fun of few kids in class and also teachers, being able to talk back at each other, not with the situation of remembering you’re a scholarship student or something, the fun of different activity with friends, most especially, DH is filled with too much bullies, no freedom, one feeling too low to stand out”she stated.
“So if it changes?”Noah asked.
“Why would it?”she chuckled.
“Just what if it changes?”he said.
“I still won’t attend, remember I pretended to be a teacher”she said.
“No one would talk about it if I say so”he said.
“See that, that’s too much influence you have”she snapped and he smiled.
“I love being like that though”he said as he started the car.
“Your phone has been ringing though”he said and she brought it out to see it’s on vibration mode.
He obviously did it.
“Psychopath!”she snapped and he laughed as she picked.
“Girl, are you okay?”Mimi rushed her words.
“Yes, I’ll be home soon, you should know what the psychopath can do”she chuckled and they continued talking.
Noah smiled as he stole glances at her and he’d smile at every moment she smiles or laughs.
They arrived at her apartment few minutes later and as they came down, an heavy rain started.
“$h|t!”
“It’s just two on dot!”Scarlett muttered as they ran into the building, the rain poured on them a little.
“Hey!”she faced Noah who’s shaking beside her.
“You seriously ain’t serious?”she said but he kept shaking.
“You look like a baby right now”she grinned.
“Not funny cheesecake”he stuttered shakily and she laughed.
“I should take a video of you and post”she laughed but he used his hands to cover his face, gaining more laughter from her.
“Come on in”she pulled him away as they took the stairs to her room though she won’t stop mocking him.

DH.
Lunch’s over already so everyone’s in their respective classes.
A test would be taken in few minutes time to cover up for the excursion they couldn’t take. It’s for all final students, not just those in the special class.
“Don’t know why the test has to be announced just now, I haven’t even studied”Polly complained.
“You could say that again cause I’d surely take the last position”Jermaine said.
“C’mon, not when we have Violet”Molly said mockingly.
“Did you just…..”Violet stood up.
“It’s called indirect insult”Molly said.
“You’re starting a fight?”Violet smirked.
“Why? You’re scared to fight?”Molly snapped, not standing.
“Woah! You think you could just talk to me cause we sit in a class together?”Violet yelled.
“Easy girl, it was just a raw truth cause it’s known that you take the last position so why get angry?”Paris snapped.
“So you puppets are ganging up on me?”Violet laughed sarcastically.
“Puppets you say? How dare you call us that!”Molly snapped.
“What! Why else were you in the general class last semester!”Violet snapped.
“You should really stop talking”Jermaine muttered and she faced him.
“Or what?!”she snapped.
“You really should stop”Polly said.
“Or you tell me the fact on why you and your silly twin act enemies!”she snapped.
“And why don’t you tell us why you’re so into wanting Noah if not cause you don’t want your secret about being a nobody to the family you call your family out!”Molly said and she staggered.
“What….are you saying”
“You’re scared? You should have stopped talking when we ask you to!”Paris scoffed.
“That’s a lie!”Violet yelled, trying to get herself.
“A lie? I shouldn’t feel pity for you when you’re a bully yunno”Molly said.
“You should stop acting up when you’re not being treated as family but a maid!”Jermaine snapped.
“Stop!”she shouted, rushing out of class while she bumped into her other crew members.
“What’s going on?”Avery muttered as they entered.
“What happened?”Damian asked.
“You’ve got a camera so watch”Paris snapped.
Kingsley went for the camera in the class as they watched what happened.
A teacher walked in but they didn’t stop what they were doing.
“Can we start?”the teacher said.
“You wouldn’t mind giving us some minutes”Avery said.
“How did you all know though? The secret was save with us”Avery said.
“It’s no more a secret since we all know”Molly said.
“The question is how you know”Avery said.
“And I don’t wanna give a reply so that’s why I ditched it, you should have known”Molly said.
“The test!”the teacher said and they stopped arguing.
Violet came back in just immediately, she walked to her seat without sparing anyone a glare.

CLOSING.
Aiden walked up to his locker but met another gift. He sighed as he brought out the cookies.
“Another?”Avery grinned beside him as she tried to take it but he held it tight.
“Planning on eating it?”she let go.
“I’ll give it back instead”he said and walked away.
“I should head home then”Avery muttered with a deep sigh as her feet did it work.
The others already left and it seems like bullying is reducing, seem though.
Aiden met Clara just entering her car with Jesse.
“Senior Aiden!”she called with delight as he got to her.
“The cookies”he brought it out and she smiled.
Some junior students who are still around stood to watch. Not when it’s about Aiden a part of the bully who’s a senior and Clara a junior who isn’t a scholarship student.
“You shouldn’t have come, I just thought of you again and decided to buy it”she smiled.
“I don’t appreciate you getting me things junior”Aiden said.
“It’s Clara”she smiled.
“You should throw it out instead”he took her hand, placing the box of cookies on her palm but she kept on smiling.
“Stop getting me things”he added.
“It looks like you got it for me instead cause no one heard our conversation”Clara said and he looked around to see students gushing about what’s happening.
Aiden said nothing and walked away.
Clara smiled as she got in the car.
“You’re still crushing on him?”Jesse asked as the driver drove off.
“Why not, he’s still as handsome as ever”she giggled, eating from the cookies.
“Okay”Jesse muttered.

SCARLETT APARTMENT.
Scarlett just finished making noodles since that’s only what’s available in her room.
She has been on taking care of cold Noah who’s using the advantage wisely.
“Come eat!”she said.
“We could have just ordered.
“Come on, you should be grateful the rain stopped at least, eat this”she said as he sat up.
“I enjoyed our moment at the local market”he said suddenly.
“For real?”she looked at him with a smile and he nodded like a kid.
“We should try going to the area they sell fish and meats”she said.
“Since it would be fun, I’m in”he smiled.
“But the smells would send you away”she said and he frowned while she laughed.
“You should taste a little out of life in poverty”Scarlett said.
“Why?”
“Though we need money like crazy but you’re f-__-king free, the level of your freedom can’t be leveled and also the amount of fun you’d have”she smiled.
“Sounds cool but scary”Noah said.
“Hm hm, the scary part is when you badly need money, that part is really really difficult”she said and he smiled.
Hearing her talk about her own world makes him smile. She could possibly make a joke out of anything.
“Noah”she called.
“Yeah”
“The girl at the airport….”
“My grandpa wants us to gent engaged and probably get married since I’d be taking over the companies”he said.
“Companies?”
“Yes, the CEO above every other”he said and she nodded slowly.
“I don’t wanna get engaged to her though”he said and she nodded again.
“Cause I feel like doing it with you”he said and she choked.
“Sorry”he muttered as she drank water while he patted her back.
Scarlett pushed down his hand slowly.
“Let’s stop talking about that”she said.
“But I mean it”he said.
“I told your grandpa our little play would be over immediately I was done with what I came for and that’s what I’d be doing”she said, holding eye contact with him.

WILLIAMS MANSION.
Havana arrived an hour ago but Williams isn’t home.
She kept pacing round the room she was assigned to. Her mind on what happened in the airport which doesn’t seem like leaving her head.
The door to the room pushed open, revealing a guard.
“He’s home Miss”the guard said and she dashed out.
“Princess Havana!”Williams said with delight as she climbed down the stairs.
“Sir Williams”she hugged him slightly.
“And where’s Noah?”he asked as they settled down.
“Reason why I came rushing”she said.
“Did he do something wrong?”he asked.
“I would try to accept if It’s just my misunderstanding but wasn’t he at the airport to pick me?”she asked.
“What happened?”he asked but she signalled her guard to come close.
The guard explained instead.
“It’s truly a misunderstanding, please do rest while I sort everything”Williams said and she stood up. She bowed slightly then walked away.
Williams dialed Noah’s line but it’s not going through.
“Track Noah”he said to his personal guard behind him who got to work immediately.

NIGHT, CHARLOTTE’S PARENTS PLACE.
The test result got released immediately after closing. Charlotte’s own was sent to her parents immediately as always.
She didn’t come home immediately school close but is just coming now.
“And you’re finally home!”her mom’s voice came from the living room.
Her steps halted as she heard that, her palms sweating already.
“Come to the study, your dad has been waiting”her mom walked away toward the study while she followed.
Her sweaty palm already red since she kept scratching on it nonstop.
The shutting sound of the door made her shiver in fear. What she always try to avoid.
She’s the one who suggested they stop having test every Friday.
“Now you have more than just Noah and Aiden as rivals?”her Dad’s voice sounded and she shaked slowly.
“I’m sorry, I’ve got no words”she muttered shivering.
“Molly and Paris? You even have same score with Jermaine!”he yelled and she fell.
“How dare you! Is it a crime having a daughter!”he yelled, getting the whip from her mom as he lashed on her.
That’s it, behind the bully Charlotte, this is it.
One reason why she prefers the tomboy’s style, her bruises won’t be visible.
No one knows this is what she faces, not even her crews..
Her dad has always wanted a make child and he detects the words adoption.
She dare not make a sound or the lashes increases.
He finally stopped on the twentieth lash, throwing the whip to no destination.
“Get out!”he yelled and she ran out immediately, running out of the house.
Behind every happy one, there’s a sad one, vise versa
And,
Behind every strong one, there’s a weak one
