All Chapters of MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Who is she?” I had no clue but I couldn't take my eyes off the couple. The lady was stunning in her red ball gown. Her hair was swept to the left side of her neck elongating her features. Her lips were painted a deep red, reminding me of deep blue sea sirens from cartoons. My yellow gown seemed so pale and ugly in comparison to hers. “Let’s go.” Becka pulled me along with her as we left that area. I was grateful she had as I was almost sure I would’ve embarrassed myself doing something stupid. “Leah?” An unsure voice sounded and I turned my eyes to the direction to the sound. “Mrs Hamilton.” The shock in my voice was so apparent. I wasn’t expecting to see her at a school function. “Mr Hamilton.” I greeted and shot Becka a questioning look but she wasn’t looking at me. There was mischief in her eyes and I feared what would happen. “I thought I told you to call me David.” I chuckled nervously and apologised. They offered us seats and I realised we were in the dining area. People ha

I opened my eyes when his lips never came, wondering what went wrong. Our closeness gave me a jumpscare and I traced where his eyes had fallen. There was a very small scar on my chest, one that no one ever noticed. They’d made a small incision, a chest tube thoracostomy, there when they realised I had a collapsed lung from the accident.Jared’s fingers traced the small scar with questions in his eyes, causing my breath to quicken.“I had an accident about four years ago.” I inhaled sharply. I never liked to talk about it, not even with Becka. Becka… a pained expression filled my face as I remembered the details of the night. My mood was ruined so I moved away from Jared and found my way to the living room.He followed after me and sat beside me.“I was in a coma for two years.” A humourless smile stretched my lips and there was evident shock on Jared’s face when I glanced at him briefly, his lips parted, unsure of what to say.“Yeah. We uhm…” I swallowed a huge lump of saliva and he p

Exams were over for the semester and that meant I had more time to spend with Jared over the short break.The message I’d received from the anonymous sender got deleted before I even had time to think it through. What did they mean “I know what you did?”I couldn’t think of one person that could’ve sent me such text message so I ignored it, ruling it as a fluke.Jared and I remained careful though. Whenever I went to his house, it was always late evening and I was in his black hoodie, something he’d given me when I realised mine were not just big enough to hide me.I unwrapped my towel and got dressed in the room. Ashley walked in and said hi, I greeted her back. It’d been a while since we’d fought and we’d settled on civility to keep the peace of the room.I hadn’t even seen her friends around of late. Maybe it was because she wasn’t in the room all the time either.“Going somewhere?” I tried and failed to fight the smile that stretched my face even though I didn’t like her.“Ouu. A

I spent the short break away from everyone, including Alyssa. Of course I missed Jared like crazy but what was I to do? I didn’t need anyone telling me what was clear as day. That singular act made me believe I didn’t mean a thing to him. “How was the break?” A girl spoke beside me. We’d never spoken before and it surprised me that there was a smile on her face as she looked at me. “It was fine, thank you?” She didn’t even mind that I had said it as a question due to my surprise and she just nodded and smiled. “Well, that was weird.” I found my way easily to class unlike the beginning of last semester when I easily got lost. Thankfully, the class was quite scanty and I could easily pick a seat. Usually, when you picked a seat, it was where you most likely sat for the rest of the semester. People continued to trickle in as the time neared the hour. I kept my head down, scrolling through I*******m reels not realising the class had quieted down. “Guys, welcome back to school.” My hea

Jared looked at me for a long while and then a smile crept up his face.“What’s funny about the whole thing?” I was beyond pissed and him smiling at me wasn’t helping matters.“My sister.” Then his face turned serious.“Is that why you wouldn’t even talk to me? Because of my sister?”“Why did you decline my call then?”“My sister is a very nosy person. Would you have liked her to know that we were together when ‘you don’t know anything about me’ yet?” His face pulled into a frown on the last part of his sentence. I was slowly starting to feel stupid. He picked up his shirt from the arm rest and wore it, covering up his glorious body I vehemently refused to look at.“You don’t believe me?” Strangely, I did. He had no reason to lie, especially when it cost us a lot to be together in the first place.My mouth flapped open and shut, unsure of what to say as I thought of how immature I was being. This could’ve been all solved if I had just confronted him.My face turned beet red from embar
