You walk into the staff room one fine Friday afternoon to submit an assignment that was long since overdue...
Nobody is in the whole software block...
You're all alone...
You quietly creep in, thinking that the room is empty...
But then...
It's Mr. C, YOUR NEW IN TEACHER!!
He has been waiting for you...
He asks you why you haven't submitted your assignment yet...
You are speechless... and just stand there while he looks you over...
He gets up... and slowly walks toward you...
He snatches the book out of your hand and drops it on the ground.
You slowly bend down to pick it up...
And as you rise, he is gone...
But then...
You feel a warm breath, followed by a voice behind your right earlobe...
He whispers...
"You've been a bad bad girl..."
You try and turn around to speak, but he holds your arms behind your back in his vice like grip.
"Shhh..." he says
"You need to be taught a lesson, don't you young lady?"
And she said:
"No, please, I swear I'll submit on time... "
He said
"I don't believe you..."
"I think you're just telling me what I want to hear..."
He releases his grip and slowly backs away...
You stand there, shaking while he walks out of the room with a grin on his face...
*Two weeks later*
After last week's incident in the staff room, she was scared to her depths of Mr. C...
She sat in front of her computer, trying to work through the last of her program sets, while the rest of the students and the staff slowly left the lab...
She continued to work, debugging the code... The lab was empty as the lab attendant went outside to go hand in some papers at the office.
The strange smell that hung in the room, slowly became more and more prominent...
The screen in front of her slowly began getting hazy, she tried squinting but it just kept getting worse... She finally stood up, only to feel light headed and woozy. She crumpled to the floor and passed out into darkness...
She woke up in a hospital room, with the nurse patting her forehead with a wet bandage...
"She's awake..." She yelled.
"Call in the doctor please."
A man in a white coat appeared before her and told her how the air conditioning in the Lab had malfunctioned and that the coolant had leaked into the circulation.
"A prof at the college who had just been walking past, saw you lying face down on the floor. He ran in, picked you up and rushed you here. You were very lucky, few more minutes and you would've been asphyxiated..."
Just then, a man walked into the room, she couldn't make out his face... Partly because her spectacles were off, and partly because she was still kind of woozy...
She saw that he was tall, with a dark intense face and gruff spiky short hair...
She realized who it was, and
You said: Thank you
You were slowly beginning to find this rude, and seemingly dangerous man for something much more...
He had just saved your life, not out of some misplaced sense of obligation, but out of actual concern...
You slowly went to sleep thinking...
... he's not that bad as all that now is he... hmm...
Weeks pass by and every time he walked into class you slowly began taking in parts of his visage, his words, his voice and his being... He enchanted you... He made you want to exceed and out reach beyond what you thought was acceptable...
He made you want him.
Every assignment he gave, every test he took, you strived to be perfect...
he was the only thing that mattered and you would do anything that was needed to be worthy of his glance and acknowledgement.
You had a wicked thought. A thought that was reminiscent of your first bittersweet meeting with him...
Your want for him, led you to do the one thing that could get him closer to you. The absolute sign of his acknowledgement of you...
You defaulted on your submission... And ironically enough, planned your own... to him.
You walk into his chamber, not like last time, but with an air of defiance, of blatant disregard of his set ultimatum... As if challenging him, demanding as if to say:
"I am here, I've defied your authority, so what're you gonna do about it?"
She flings the file on his table and stares at him with a wild grin on her face...
He is visibly calm, he knows what you're trying to do, and calmly smiles as he rises from his seat...
You are excited.
As he slowly walks towards you, you slowly begin to feel your rising heart beat...
