My Teacher's Secret Touch

Chapter Five - Outside School

I woke up with the biggest smile on my face, I could still smell her lavender perfume on myself. And it was funny because she hardly touched me. Just when we ran to each other at the corner..

Thinking about her made me smile, and the fact that she asked to take me home so that she'd know I was safe made me even happier.

I got up and went to take a quick shower before returning back to my bedroom to go over my biography again. It was okay, just needed a little editing and then it was good. I didn't even care to check my English paper. That guy was a d**k and I wasn't looking forward to the class.

At 8 I got dressed and then got out. I found Hannah sitting there drinking coffee, or trying to drink it. She didn't look good at all.

"hey.. Are you okay?"

She rolled her eyes, "why do you care Perfect?"

"because you don't look okay dude. You might not care about me but don't think that I feel the same about you. You're my roommate. The first person I see when I wake up here.. So what's wrong?"

She started crying, "my stomach.. I feel pain.."

I quickly put my bag down, "okay don't move I'm coming with help."

I got out and ran to the front office.

"hi.. I'm on block H, room 221, my roommate is not okay.. She's complaining about stomach pains."

"aren't you the kids who were partying till the sun came up there...?" the security guy asked and I ignored him, "please ma'am get help. She really doesn't look okay."

The woman at the front desk took a phone and called the compus nurse.

In 15 minutes one guy arrived with a wheelchair. We went to my room and found Hannah vomiting on the kitchen floor. She looked so weak.

I ran by her side and picked her up. The guy came to help me and we took her up and put her on the wheelchair.

"here's my card.. Call me after cleaning up the mess she made up there.." the guy said giving me his card before leaving.

I was so scared of what might have happened to her. I quickly went to the bathroom and took a bucket to mop the floor. God she better be okay.

When I was done, it was 30 minutes before my first class which was English. I contemplated whether I should even go attend or not...because I mean that guy was awful at his job.

I quickly went to the front desk and saw that lady who called for help.

"hi.. My... "

"your friend was so lucky to have you there at that time. She has alcohol poisoning. She was taken to the hospital.." she cut me off

My eyes shot wide open at her, "wait...what?? Alcohol what? What does that mean? Will she be okay?" I threw her with all those questions since I didn't know what she was talking about.

"because of you.. She will be okay.. Go to class and come see me later, I'll take you to her."

Fuck I didn't want to go to class. I wanted to make sure that Hannah was okay.

"go..." she said again since I didn't seem to be moving even an inch. I honestly was reconsidering going to class.

I sighed though and started leaving. My mind was all over the place. I didn't even know if I'd be able to listen in class. But then again I was happy that it was just English and that guy always sucked.

I slowly made it to my class and cursed at myself for being 10 minutes late.

I knocked since it was too quiet and opened the door. I was so shocked to not see him but her there. She was standing in front of the students.

I looked around a bit and back at the door to check if I was in the right class. In all my papers her name never came up. She wasn't supposed to teach me.

"it's the right class.. You can have a sit." she told me.

Fuck.. Fuck.. Fuck.. Now I was so done with. She probably thought I was disrespectful and I came to class late. Way to go about keeping my record clean. Now I messed it up and she was probably going to be disappointed in me.. I already was.

I apologized and went to sit on my desk.

She resumed what she was doing before I disturbed her. Telling a story I caught on...

I tried to listen but my mind would think about my roommate here and there.

"okay.. So I'll be with you guys tomorrow also. This is until you get a new lecturer.. Who will probably be here on Monday.."

A new one? Did they finally get rid of the one who was lecturing us? Oh man...!!

"why can't you just do it. You're amazing.." one kid shouted and everyone started mumbling a yes..

"she's amazing in all ways man. Look at that ass and pretty face..." one guy whispered next to me and I felt so disgusted. What was it with other people and objectifying people. Was her face and ass the only good thing about her? Didn't her brain matter?

"f*****g jerks.." I said loud enough for them to hear.

"oh shut up Perfect.. Maybe you should try and get some ass too you know.. Be more like your roommate.. She is an animal that one.. And she will soon let me tap it coz she's loose. .." one of them said and they laughed.

"screw you.. Both.." I said a bit loud and the whole class went quiet and all eyes were on me.

Fuck.. fuck.. fuck...

"umh.. Miss... "

"Perfect.... I mean she's Precious Adams Dean.." One student said when Professor Wright didn't finish her sentence.

He had to f*****g call me "perfect"

"miss Adams you disturbed my class by arriving late.. And now you're swearing at students in my presence while I talk to you guys... Can't you see me..? Or don't I at least deserve some sort of your respect?"

I swallowed as I felt a knot on my throat, I wanted to cry. Coz honestly this seemed all so bad. She had no idea what they were saying about her and my roommate.

I shook my head a bit, "I'm sorry professor.. I really am."

She shook her head and continued talking. I could tell that she was not impressed by what happened. I swallowed and tried to keep on listening to her... I really tried.

..

When class ended it felt like it took three days. I had a break and then later on it was going to be History.

I took my bag and walked behind the other students to try and get out descreetly out of this place I behaved bad at.

"Adams... " she called for me and my heart broke. Her voice was so stern. It wasn't as soothing as it usually is.

"Perfect is not so Perfect after all.. " one student said and I stopped myself from swearing at her again.

I slowly went to the professor and stood there with my head looking at my feet. I hated this. I honestly did.

"what was that?" she asked sternly.

I swallowed, "I am sorry.. That's now how I am I just.."

"you just What Adams?" she whisper yelled, "in everything wrong that you do you say it wasn't you. Tell me who are you then? Huh?"

'Perfect is in trouble...' one student shouted from outside.

I closed my eyes and tried not to be a baby. I could not take her thinking I'm horrible or thinking the worst of me.. God I couldn't wait to go to my room later and just cry about this later.

"Perfect? That's the third time I hear that.."

I shrugged, "they say it a lot."

She sighed, "what happened? Why were you late? Look I know that you are trying to make a good impression by studying hard and trying to know everything. But that won't help if you miss the first 15 minutes of your class. Those are important and you could miss out on a lot, a whole lesson. You need to slow down a bit and get enough sleep... And study during the day only."

"my roommate is at the hospital. She was vomiting this morning and I had to get her help... The lady in the front desk said it was alcohol poisoning when I finished cleaning up our room... She was taken there.. I'm sorry I got here late it was because I couldn't leave her like that.. I was all ready for my classes, she wasn't okay and I had to help her... " I said and she kept quiet and looked at me.

"as for me swearing at those boys. I don't normally let them get to me, and I ignore them when they make remarks about me.. But you didn't hear what they said about you and about my roommate.... They were saying nasty things and objectifying you like we were something they can use or something that was on display for them to buy. I just couldn't let them do that and talk like that about you.. But I was wrong and for that I am sorry. I didn't mean to disrespect you I swear Professor. You're an amazing person and have been so kind to me. I wouldn't want you to think awful of me. I'm sorry all this happened. I really am."

She sighed, "oh God... " and kept quiet.

We both kept quiet there like that. I didn't know what to say now. She probably still hated me.

"I'm sorry again professor. This will never happen."

"it better not.." she said and I nodded my head when we didn't say anything for a few seconds.

Okay, now I couldn't even ask her if she asked about the library for me. I got her mad at me.

I slowly started to walk away from the table.

"Wooow.." she said after a while and I turned to look at her, "what is it professor?"

"your roommate.. What hospital is she in?"

"I don't know. The lady at our dorm said I should ask her after my classes and she'll take me there. So I'll go around 2pm"

She sighed, "you don't have to worry about that.. What classes do you have to go to now?"

"I'm free now and I have history after two hours."

"Spancer is not here.. Let's go to the hospital I'll returm you back for your after lunch classes." she said and I shook my head, "Professor you don't have to do that really."

"I insist.. I also want to make sure that she's okay."

I was defeated by her again, "alright professor."

She picked up her bag and turned to me, "are you ready?"

I shrugged, "yes I am Professor."

She got out and I followed her to her car again. I didn't know whether I should go in the front or back. So I stood there as she got inside. She laughed when she saw, "front Precious.. In the front because there is no one else."

I quickly went there and got in then looked forward. I didn't know what I'd say today. We started off on the wrong foot.. Like Louis would put it.

To my luck she took her phone and dialed someone.

"hey girl... Yeah I have to know where one kid is...her name?" she asked that looking at me.

"Hannah.. Hannah Cooper." I said.

"got that? Yeah... Okay.. Where? Thank you.. Oh no I'll be back and yes I'm with her roommate.. Alright thanks.. Bye.."

She kept quiet and started pressing her phone after hanging up.

"I'm sorry I pissed you off.." I said after a while.

"so they call you perfect..?"

I was hoping she would not bring that up or that she'll forget about it.

"yes..."

"and they make remarks about you?"

I shrugged, "it's not that bad."

She kept quiet and kept driving for a while, "so.. You know that if your roommate is not okay we have to alert her parents about this. Alcohol poisoning is not good at all. She could have lost her life. She was lucky they say."

"we can talk to her when we get there and see. I'm glad that she's actually okay. I hope she won't drink too much when she gets out."

We both kept quiet again. She shook her head a little, "God you..."

I furrowed my brows at her in confusion, "what? Me?"

"yes you Precious.."

"whay about me Professor?"

"you can call me Jessica when we are outside of school Precious."

My heart flattered at that. But I still didn't know how old she was.

"so... Will you ever tell me how young you are.. Jessica?"

She blushed and looked outside the car after stopping at the traffic lights. I swear she was blushing.

"Jessica?" I said again and she giggled, "okay I think you should stick to calling me Professor .."

That's when I noticed that me calling her by her name actually made her blush. I blushed too, "but that's not what you initially said."

"I'm changing my mind."

"it's too late Jessica.." I said and she smiled and started the car when the traffic lights turned green..

After a few minutes she looked at me, "so you are really perfect after all.."

"huh.. No I'm not.. Why are you saying that?"

She shrugged, "because you just are... Perfect." then she winked at me.

My heart started beating fast on my chest. Where did that come from and why was she winking at me.

"Ohh and I had a discussion about the library thing.. But it didn't work.. So I have a suggestion."

"yes?"

"would you be okay with studying in my office until I'm done... And then I'll drive you home."

I looked at her shocked, "what? You'd be okay with that? I mean you'd do that for real?"

"well I wasn't going to after what happened in class.. But you are just perfect.. So yes I am doing it. My office will be available anytime for your use and it will be until 11:30 at night.." she said parking the car and getting out.

I wanted to jump and hug her, but that was probably going to scare her away. So I slowly walked towards her and she gave me a confused look. I smiled inside as I opened my arms and hugged her nicely.

She calmed down as I felt her body relax and returned the hug. I smiled and inhaled her scent, "Thank you Jessica.. You don't have any idea how much this means to me. For real. Thank you so so much."

She brushed my back, "it's not a big deal."

We pulled away from each other and I started walking towards the entrance of the hospital, "it is a bit deal to me."

"alright Perfect .. You're welcome."

I turned around to look at her, "stop calling me that. I don't like it."

She smiled, "it really suits you.."

I sighed and turned to continue walking in. I was going to see her office now.. And spend nights in her car. This felt so amazing. It gave me a feeling I've never felt before...
