I didn’t make a mistake. I didn’t come home with us. I’m still thinking about Michaela waiting for me at the school gate, I hope she just goes home because it’s a waste of time for her to wait for me.
“Change your Clothes” the teacher ordered when we entered his room. I put my bag on the side first before taking off my shoes and socks. I don’t know how he got my school stuff, maybe he broke into our house when Mom and brother were sleeping.
“Ahm… It’s me” I said. He is removing the button from my uniform, I can do that. I don’t need help anymore.
“Nah, let me do this” he said and my face quickly turned red due to embarrassment. When he removed the button, I turned away from him to get some clothes from his closet. yes in his closet, because he bought me clothes, shorts and other personal things and put them in his closet.
“Come downstairs as soon as you finish there, you need to eat” he ordered before entering the bathroom, fortunately he was not going to get dressed in front of me. I will feel even more ashamed, I am still a woman and he is a man.
*KNOCK! THICK! KNOCK!*
“Um… Hi?” I greeted the man who suddenly entered the room after knocking. The door was not locked. As far as I remember, he was Ryan. the man who carried me the other day.
“Where is Lucas?” He asked me directly so I immediately pointed to the bathroom. Honestly, I still don’t know if Ryan is teacher’s brother or relative. Because Ryan looks like a teacher so they can be brothers.
“What is it?” asked the teacher when he got out of the bathroom. He seems to be listening to us.
“Someone’s looking for you” Ryan said so the teacher raised his eyebrows while I was busy hanging up my blood stained uniform. the blood is so dry that I don’t know if it can be removed.
“Tss…” replied the teacher and quickly left the room. Who is looking for a teacher? I hope it’s not Micahela. Michaela might come here and look for me, she knows because the teacher is with me. He’s right, but I hope it doesn’t get to the point where he’ll come here.
“Aren’t you gonna go downstairs?” Ryan asked me.
“I will follow” I answered while combing my hair. I have a feeling that I shouldn’t go downstairs, I don’t know why I’m nervous.
after I finished combing my hair, I went out the door. Every step I take increases the nervousness I feel, is it because of the person looking for a teacher? Who is she?
“Why didn’t you pick me up earlier?” I heard someone ask from below. based on the tone of her speech, she is a woman. I don’t know but I felt annoyed, who is that woman?
“I was just busy, and I already gave you a car. So, why would I fetch you?” I heard the teacher’s answer. Did he give the girl a car? But why?
When I got down the stairs, I turned to the left and was about to walk again, but I stopped because of the shock. What is he doing here? He shouldn’t see me!
Why is Ms. Cherry? Why is our Science teacher here?
Why is Ms. Cherry? why is our science teacher here?
“Oh, she’s here.” said Ryan who made my eyes widen. Fck! Our science teacher shouldn’t see me! What will he say to me?!
“Yeah. Take a seat, Ms. sylvester” the teacher ordered me, even though my hand was cold I moved towards the chair. What will I answer when Ms. Cherry asks me about, why I am here?
“Where’s Rin?” the teacher asked Ryan.
“Leave” Ryan answered briefly. I just listen while putting rice and dishes on the plate, my feet seem to be stuck to the tiles. My feet and hands are almost sweating because I feel so nervous.
“What is she doing here, hon?” asked Ms. The teacher’s cherry raised my eyebrows. Hon? WTF? does that mean they really have a relationship? Why are they making it a secret, a teacher can now have a relationship with another teacher even if you are still teaching at the same school.
“Hmm, She’s my girlfriend—”
“W-what’s the matter… I-I have to skip many lectures on the s-subject of M-mr. That’s why I’m here. . He just took me from the house— kidnapped me.
“Huh? You don’t need to come here. Why don’t you just ask for a copy of the lessons?” He said with a raised eyebrow that made me nervous. What will I say?
“Cut that Crap, hon. Stop asking her. I invited her here, right Summer?” I tried to nod when he asked me at the same time I tried to smile at Ms. Cherry. If he doesn’t want me here, I don’t want him even more so don’t complain because I didn’t want to be here.
“Don’t worry, honsummer can shut her mouth and keep this as a secret.” the teacher reassured Ms. Cherry who immediately smiled. That’s what she was worried about. It’s not a big problem even if it’s spread throughout the campus that they have a relationship, why do they still need the secret?
while Ryan, the teacher and Ms. Cherry is talking about what they want to happen when they get married. If they like each other, and they have already planned their wedding. What do I do here? why did the teacher take me, mother and brother? Don’t tell me, I will be a third party? Am I the one who will be thrilled by their love?
I suddenly sat up straight when I felt the teacher’s foot caressing my leg again and again. Terrible. something flowed through my body, I didn’t understand what it was. I tried to move my leg away but he reached for it. I don’t like the way I feel, I don’t like it. In all my life, I only felt that now.
“Hon, are you listening?” asked Ms. Cherry to teacher. I couldn’t look at them both, because I knew the teacher was looking at me.
“Uh, yes.” answered the teacher while still not stopping what he was doing under the table. I was even more surprised when I felt Ryan’s hand on my left hand resting on my lap. I immediately shook it and looked at him.
Our place is like this.
Teacher, Ms. Cherry
Table
I’m Ryan
The teacher is opposite me and Ryan is next to me but why did he hold my hand? I don’t want to give meaning to that but I can’t help it.
“Why are you looking at him, Summer?” asked the teacher with a frown.
“N-nothing” I answered briefly. I wanted to leave my seat and go up to the teacher’s room, but I couldn’t. Maybe Ms. cherry why would I turn around on the way to the stairs if I could just walk straight to reach the door. He might wonder.

“Thanks, hon” said Ms. Cherry then hugged the teacher who also hugged back and gently patted Ms.’s back. Cherry
“Keep your mouth shut, okay?” reminder of Ms. Cherry to me. I just nodded and gently smiled at him. There’s no need to remind me, because even if he doesn’t say it, I’ll do it. Maybe if I don’t do that I will be a citizen tomorrow.
“Bye, hon. see you tomorrow, Summer” he said goodbye before getting in the car and leaving. When we finished eating, I didn’t see Ryan anymore. That’s better. Maybe I won’t be able to stop the words I’m going to say, when I see him.
“Let’s go.” the teacher said I couldn’t do anything but follow him. His arm was wrapped around my waist when Ms. Cherry.
When we got to the stairs, he got closer to my waist so I was very close to the teacher.
“Ah, teacher? Can you please remove your arm?” Please speak softly. He eased it but still didn’t remove his arm from my waist.
“Hmm! Mm! Hmm!”
“W-what is that?” I asked while looking for where that voice came from. Who is that?
“What is it?” asked the teacher. I know he heard that, it’s impossible not to.
“I heard something from—–”
“You’re just imagining it. I think, you need to rest. You must be tired” he said as he opened the door and we went inside. I was about to moan but he kissed me on the forehead and forced me to lie down.
“Take a rest, sweetheart”
“B-but, I heard something—”
“Take a rest.” His order was so strong that I just lay down.
I really heard something!
