AN: Hey Guys, I hope you guys are enjoying the book so far. If you have anything to tell me concerning the book feel free. Make sure to vote too!!This chapter is shorter than all the others.

Jennifer's POV:

Arielle and I have been getting along pretty well lately. When I would give them free periods sometimes she would talk to me instead of her friends.

But my relationship with Emily hasn't been so well.

I think she knows something's up. I mean that girl can read me like an open book. Whenever she wants to have sex I just don't feel in the mood for it anymore. It's not as exciting as it used to be, and when we finally do have sex I can't help but wish that it was Arielle rather than Emily.

A smacking sound interrupted my thoughts.

I looked around the class and saw that Paige was holding her cheek and Arielle and their friends were laughing. I got up and went towards them.
"Paige what's the problem?" She looked at Arielle and then looked at me and said "Arielle hit me."

This caused Arielle to stop laughing and she shot up from her seat.
"What!" She yelled. "But you told me to!" She said to Paige.
"Why would I ask you to hit me?" Paige said to Arielle rubbing her cheek. I knew Arielle was lying and if it was with any other student I would've over look this but it's Arielle and I couldn't help but want alone time with her.

"Arielle you have detention. Come back to this classroom after-school." I said sternly.
"What. That's not fair." She whined.
I walked away and went back to my desk. The bell rang soon after and the students started to leave the classroom. Arielle was about to leave but I yelled to here "Arielle came here for a minute."

She told Paige to leave without her and walked over to my desk.
"Yes Ms.Murphy?" She said.
"Don't even think about skipping detention." I said to her sternly.
"Wouldn't miss detention with you alone for the world." she said winking at me and left the classroom.
I couldn't help but blush at what she said.

Wait did Arielle just flirt with me? I thought to myself.
----------------------------------------------
I left my room and went to the cafeteria. I bought a sandwich and went into Annabelle's classroom.

"Would it really kill you to knock?" She asked amusedly.

I still never told her that I saw her and Arielle kissing. It wouldn't have done anything but caused more problems. But I couldn't help the images flashing through my mind whenever I see her.

"Sorry." I said closing the door and pulling up a seat next to her.

Annabelle and I talked about unimportant things until she asked.

"So how's Emily?" She asked.
"She's...getting by." I answered.
"What did something happen between you two?" She asked concerned.
"No, we're okay." I said to her.
"I have a question." I said.
"What is it?" She asked.

"Well lets hypothetically say that I think I like someone who isn't Emily. How would I be able to make sure that I like this person?" I asked Annabelle.
"Are you cheating on Emily?" Annabelle asked shocked.
"No." I said.

Not recently anyway. Not that I would cheat on her with anyone. Besides one person...

"Remember I said this is all hypothetical." I said to her.

"Well...do you like talking to that person? When you guys are having a conversation do you ever get bored?"

When I'm talking to Arielle I never get bored. In fact, time flies by when I'm with her.

Annabelle continued "When this person is near you does your heartbeat pick up? When they touch you do you feel 'sparks'?"

Just thinking about Arielle makes my heartbeat pick up, and I definitely have felt sparks with her before. Oh no this isn't good.

"If this person was to go on a date with someone would you feel jealous? If this person even talks or looks at someone in a non-platonic way do you get jealous?"

Oh that's a big yes for that one.

Shit.

I like Arielle.

"Did that help any?" Annabelle asked.
"Yes, yes it did."

If anything it helped too much.

Soon the bell rang and I left Annabelle's classroom. I tried to teach my last 2 classes but I couldn't my mind was just all over the place.

I,Jennifer Murphy, like Arielle Agostinelli my student.

This is just the definition of fucked up. Now I really wished that I hadn't given Arielle detention.

How am I going to face her now, knowing that I like her? I thought to myself.

The bell rang signaling dismissal the students left my classroom. To say I was nervous was an understatement. My heart was beating rapidly and I kept on looking at the clock counting the minutes until Arielle is gonna step until the classroom.

Maybe she won't show up. I told myself.

A few minutes passed the time of dismissal, of course to my luck Arielle came into the classroom.
"Hey Ms.Murphy." She said sitting down in a desk near mine.
"H-hi Arielle." I said, hating myself for stuttering.
"Are you okay Ms.Murphy?" Arielle asked.
"Y-yea I'm fine." I said.

Well that was reassuring. I thought to myself, mentally slapping myself.

"Do you want me to leave?" Arielle asked concerned.
"No it's okay stay." I said.
Even though I knew I was nervous being near her right now, I enjoyed her presence.

"Hey, can you help me with my Calculus homework? I mean I know you're an English teacher but..." She asked.
"You want my help?" I asked her shocked.
"Yes I want your help." She said dragging her chair near mine. "So will you?" She asked expectantly.

"Sure." I said smiling at her. I helped her with Calculus homework, and after that helped her with the rest of her homework. After we were finished we were talking about complete nonsense. She was telling me some theory about how to always get a prize on the claw machines in arcades.

Then out of nowhere she said "I have a date tomorrow."
I looked at her shocked. I'm pretty sure my heart broke at that one sentence. She continued "At least I think it is. I hope it's not though. I've never been on a date with a girl."

"You have a date with a girl?" I asked her barely able to say the question.
"Yes. No. I don't know. I don't think it's one."

"Who is it with?" I asked her.

I want to know who dared to ask my Arielle on a date.

My Arielle? I thought to myself.

"It's with a girl named Charlotte. Remember at the party, the one the came to get me for beer pong?"

Oh that bitch.

"Yea I remember her." I said.
"Where are you guys going?" I asked wanted to know more.
"Oh she was gonna take me to some fair that's in some town this weekend."

A fair...nice to know.

I didn't want to here more about this date of her's so I said. "You can leave now Arielle." She looked up at the clock and then looked at me confusedly and said "But I still have 20 minutes left."

"Just go. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity." I said to her.
"You're right who knows when you'll do this again." Arielle joked. She put her books in her Chanel purse and put it on her shoulder and said
"Bye Ms.Murphy."
I waved at her and said "Bye Arielle." and she left the classroom.
----------------------------------------------

I went home and when I went into the living room I saw that Emily was there laying down on the couch, watching TV.
"Hey love." I said to her walking over to her and giving her a quick peck on the lips.
"Hey baby." She said.
I picked her head up and sat down where it was putting her head on my lap.
"Hey Em let's go to the fair tomorrow."
She looked up at me shocked "You wanna go to the fair? It's a long drive you know? But I thought you hated that stuff?" She asked.

"Yea..I don't know maybe it'll be fun."
She looked up at me and smiled "Alright."and she leaned up to give me a kiss."

While I was there watching whatever show Emily was watching on the TV, I couldn't help but think to myself.

Wow I'm a terrible person. Who uses their girlfriend to go and spy on their student whom they happen to like?

I answered that question immediately.

I do.
