I walk into class and my eyes desperately search for an empty seat that isn't next to Sadie, unfortunately the only open one was next to Aria who I didn't really want to sit next to either. Aria waved her hand at me to come sit next to her, so I guess I had no choice.
I smiled to be polite and sat down next to her, pulling my laptop out as well as my headphones. Don't get me wrong, Aria is beautiful but I'm just not interested, she seems a bit desperate on top of the fact that I'm basically in a relationship with my teacher. Speaking of, Sam walked into the room. She made eye contact with me and smiled, quickly looking away. I felt a soft smile form on my face.
"Ms. Elle is hot isn't she?" Aria said, moving a bit closer to me. I looked over, the smile quickly being wiped off my face. I watched as Sam conversed with my teacher and then looked back at Aria. "She's okay, I guess." She's fucking beautiful. Sam left shortly after.
Aria smiled and turned towards me. "I heard she's dating a student." Aria whispered. Alarm filled my senses, shit. "A..a student how do they know?" I asked. She nodded her head.
"A senior thank god, atleast she's not a full pedo. There's some pictures going around of them hugging in the school parking lot and then another with them in a Wendy's parking lot. Their obsession with parking lots is kinda weird. Lucky for the student I guess, you can't really make out the students face but you can tell it's Ms.Elle with them. Only a matter of time till admin finds out who the student is and Ms. Elle gets fired." Aria turned to her laptop.
I felt sick.
I instantly raised my hand to grab the attention of my teacher. "May I use the restroom?"
Sams POV
I sighed, picking my head up out of my hands and looked back at my computer screen. I was still so angry about what Atlas told me last night. I wanted to hurt that man, hurt him for hurting her in such a cruel way. My thoughts were interrupted with a knock at my classroom door. I got up to open it.
I opened it and it was Atlas. She frowned when she saw me.
"Hey, is everything okay?" I asked, putting my hand on her shoulder. She was about to respond when the school admin came onto the announcements.
"Lockdown, lockdown. Lockdown, lockdown." I sighed, pulling Atlas into the classroom. It's probably just a drill. I turned to her and she was staring at me.
"I think.. people are starting to catch on to us Sam. My friend told me that there's pictures going around of us, in school parking lot and at Wendy's."
This caught me off guard. "Wendy's..?" I questioned, struggling to recall when Atlas and I were at Wendy's toget-
Oh.
I made a face of realization. "Yeah." Atlas replied.
I sighed. She looked so scared, I was scared too. "It'll be okay Atlas, I'll take care of it." I pulled her into a hug. We held each other for a bit. It was at this moment I realized that it's been a while since they announced lockdown, it was too long for it to be a drill. "Hey, I think that this may be real so go sit behind my desk." I said, while I turned the lights off and made my way to Atlas. We both sighed as we sat on the floor, hiding behind my desk.
A few minutes passed and I felt Atlas slip her hand into mine. I felt her eyes on me so I looked at her, I could barely see her cause it was dark but the light creeping under the door from the hallway lit the room just enough that I was able to see her eyes.
I think she was about to speak when a loud gunshot interrupted us. We both jumped and our eyes widened as we stared at each other. "That sounded really close." She said, fear starting to become visible on her face. I nodded. Another one and another one.
She scooted closer to me as I wrapped her in my arms. "We'll be okay." I whispered as another gunshot rang out into the halls. I was scared, this one sounded closer than ever, but the fear I was feeling now quickly changed into anger as I made a realization.
"ATLAS!!" The voice in the hallway yelled out loudly. Making both me and Atlas turn to each other.
"I KNOW YOUR ASS IS HERE. YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN AWAY AND ESCAPE ME? YOU THINK I WONT FUCK YOU AGAIN? YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME YOU TRIED ME." The voice screamed loudly in the hallway. Atlas began to shake, pulling me to her with her arms wrapped around me.
"That's Rocco. That's him."
