All Chapters of MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

I dreaded going back to school. After Vanessa left and Jared got that call, neither of us could sleep. Jared was finally back and we had him in classes. The officers were working hard to bring Vanessa to book because if she was related to Matt, then it was reasonable to think that she was also involved in the whole thing. “That’s the fiftieth time you’ve sighed in the past 10 minutes.” “What are we going to do, Aly?” “Nothing. Leave it to the police.” I moved my hair out of my face and tied it in a ponytail. My hair had grown out, almost reaching my ass. Usually, I’d cut it so it stayed mid-back but I’d barely been giving myself breathing space. There was just too much to do. Too much to think about. My hair band snapped and I almost cried. Nothing was really working out for me. “How about we go to the spa today, hmm?” Aly massaged my shoulders, feeding me popcorn. I’d gone back to Aly’s place. Jared and I weren’t fighting but we kept walking on eggshells around each other, nei

I couldn’t call Leah because I knew she wanted space. After that display in my class, I was stunned to stupor and worse, I couldn’t go after. Jack or whatever his name was did though. Hearing parts of their conversation, I wondered what they were talking about that could have caused such uproar, such reaction from Leah. Rami on the other hand sat back down, her friends hovering around her but saying nothing. She deserved it and I would not intervene, even though I was supposed to. I went back to the office and opened my system. Work had been piling up at the company and I’d been pushing everything back because I was scared of what could happen if I took my eyes off Leah for even a second. Her outburst in class wasn’t just because Rami had said something mean. It was bottled up emotions. She did that a lot and when she was tipped over the edge, she exploded in ways that shocked even her. It was unhealthy but I had no idea how to go about it. I didn’t want to use the word fragile bu

“Well…” I asked, my nerves getting the best of me.“We’ve been asked to come to the office.” I groaned. Couldn’t they have just emailed us what they wanted to say.“Are you well enough to go?” I nodded my head. I just wanted it to be over with. I was already thinking of several options. I’d be excellent as a waitress. There wasn’t much for me in the world in the first place.“We can leave together.” Aly suggested. I could see the worry in her eyes but I chose not to say anything. After all, we were all worried.I had a quick shower and followed after them. Jared left in his car and I entered Aly’s car.She kept one hand on the steering wheel and while the other held my hand. I was grateful for the support.“Your ring will possibly cause accidents.” She looked at it and snorted. It really was catching the light.“Aarav wouldn’t even tell me how much it costs.” I laughed, some of the tension easing. It probably cost a lot more than she would expect.“I don’t think you need to know.”“We

“You’re going to be late for class.”I opened one eye first and then the second before yawning. I peered at Jared who was laying opposite me.“Morning.” There was a smile on his face and I couldn’t help but smile back. I felt lighter now. Much lighter.“I don’t care much for class. I don’t have to keep my grades up if there’s no scholarship funding me.” I joked.“Really?” I shrugged and got off the bed. Jared had decided to pay my fees for the rest of my years and I didn’t have a lot to worry about.“Yup.” I said, popping the p with a lot of sass. I ran hot water through the shower and got under it. Classes were ending for the semester and I had a lot to catch up on.I giggled when I felt Jared behind me.“I’m definitely going to be late for class now.”***I’d decided to look on the bright side. I wouldn’t have to watch Jared be oogled and approached by women twice his age and not be able to do anything about it.“Hey.” I called out for Jack who had just arrived. He looked so shocked

I’d slept over at Aly’s place because it was just easier to pack when she knew what you’d need. I’d grown tired of protesting every time they sprung up things like that on me and gotten used to being spent on.I used to feel guilty about it but my therapist said it was okay, so far I didn’t take it for granted or expected it from them. Another way I’d eased myself about it was making a promise to myself, that I would work so hard and also treat them just as special as they’d treated me with my hard earned money.“I thought Jared and Aarav were meeting us here.” I looked around the tarmac to find it empty.“They’re here. We’re just late.” I looked at the time and smacked my forehead.“This is your fault you know.” I scowled at Aly. The men behind us were carrying three boxes for Aly and one for me.“Like who needs three boxes for a vacation? And it’s your home you’re going to.” She glared at me for blaming her.“It’s not my fault you decided to pack so little and you’ve got some of you
