Amy led awake that night tossing and turning thinking about what had happened at school. She was pretty sure that her new teacher had been flirting with her, which is something she couldn't quite come to grips with. Karma was hot there was no doubt about that but Amy knew that what had happened wasn't right. She was going to have to talk to Miss Ashcroft in the morning, she couldn't fancy her teacher and after how karma had acted today they could be heading for big trouble. And with that new found resolve she turned over and went to sleep.

She woke up the next morning to cries form Lauren telling her to haul her ass out of bed and get ready for school. She walked bleary eyed to the bathroom to brush her teeth and replayed the dream shed just had. Not only had Miss Ashcroft haunted her thoughts during the day she also haunted her dreams. Amy hurried down the stair putting her arms through her shirt as she passed Lauren who was already holding the front door open.

"Sorry" she mumbled as she got into Lauren's car

"You will be if we're late Amy, I know you're not a morning person but this is starting to take the piss" and with that Lauren started the engine and they began the 10 minute journey to school.

They made it mere seconds before the bell rung signalling to them that first period was about to start. Amy run to her English class hoping to find Miss Ashcroft there before any of the other students began milling in. Much to her annoyance she could see that half the class were already sat in their chairs. Amy rolled her eyes at the male mentality, so they had a new teacher? It wasn't like Kate moss had suddenly decided to take up teaching. Amy stormed to her seat and ignored the fact that if it hadn't been for yesterday she would have probably come in early like the rest of them just to check out the new teacher again.

"Good morning class" Amy looked up to see Miss Ashcroft stood in front of the board smiling and wearing a tight fitting summer dress, her auburn hair up in a messy bun. Amy had to bit her cheek to stop herself from instantly returning a smile back at her. She saw the teacher give her a quick puzzled look which went unnoticed by anyone else, before she continued to talk to the rest of the class. Amy leant back in her chair and played idly with a strand of her hair gazing out the window.

"Miss Raudenfield!" she was bought back to the teacher's attention when she heard her name being shouted.

"Um yeah?"

"Have you been paying attention to anything I've said" she asked one hand on her hip and accusatory look on her face.

"Apparently not" Amy deadpanned

"Right well, let's see if you'll be more alert in detention this afternoon" Karma said a triumphant look on her face. An uneasy tension settled over the class. Miss Ashcroft had just clearly shown that she was not a teacher to mess with.

"Looking forward to it" Amy replied as the bell rang. And before the teacher could call her name she shot out of her chair and run from the class. What had gotten into her? Cheeking teachers? This woman had clearly gotten to her. And the worst part was that her stomach flipped at the thought that they would be alone together later, and despite Amy's resolve last night she wasn't sure if she could pretend that she didn't want Karma. The rest of the morning went by in a blur and before she knew it lunch time had come round. She took a seat next to Liam who instantly started firing questions at her.

"What's going on between you and the new Hottie?"

"I'm sorry. What? Who said there's anything going on" Amy asked defensively.

"Everyone's taking about how the new teacher has balls giving a student detention on her second day, and that student just so happens to be you" Liam said excited with this gossip.

"I had a rough night and zoned out, she called me on it and I honestly didn't have an excuse" Amy shrugged.

"Ah were you too busy checking her out?" Liam said winking at her.

"Will you stop being such an ass all the time please and just let me eat my lunch" and with that Amy dug in to her uber healthy lunch which consisted of three donuts and a slice of pizza.

It didn't take long for the end of the day to creep up on her and before she knew it she was stood outside the English classroom, heart pounding. Trying to muster up the courage to knock.

"Come in Amy"

"How did you know I was there" Amy asked as she walked in and took a seat this time at the front of the class.

"You're the only student with a detention today and I saw your shadow under the door." There she went arching that eyebrow at her again.

"I'm sorry for earlier miss" Amy said shamefacedly squirming in her chair. And she was. Now that she had time to think about it she had been making a lot of something out of nothing. And she was embarrassed.

"Please don't call me Miss it makes me feel old" Miss Ashcroft chuckled "and it's alright, I suppose I just expected more from you"

"Why" Amy asked feeling slightly nettled by that comment.

"I dunno" Miss Ashcroft replied quietly looking down at her desk. Amy wasn't sure if that was directed at her or to the teacher herself, but Amy decided to not press it.

"Can we start again" She asked walking over to Karma holding out her hand. Karma looked up at her and smiled at Amy instantly sending an electric wave through her body

"Sure" She replied taking Amy's hand. They held on longer than was necessary both in awe of the connection they felt when their hands touched. Amy was the first to break free from the touch and cleared her throat. Karma looked away and ran her hand through the strands of hair that were starting to fall into her face.

"So..Umm how long do I actually have detention for?" Amy asked walking back to her seat and turning to face Karma.

"You've been here for all of 5 minutes and you want to leave already" Karma asked feigning hurt.

"N-no…I mean yes" Amy stuttered unsure of what the correct answer in this scenario should be. No she doesn't want to leave this gorgeous woman, however that was hardly appropriate, and yes she did want to leave before she made even more of a fool of herself. She looked up at Karma and blushed when she saw that she had been mocking her.

"I'm joking Amy, seeing as you didn't do anything terrible you're free to leave" She said with a smile.

"Oh so now you want me to go?" Amy asked smirking, finally finding her feet with this whole banter thing. She walked over to where Karma was sat and leant over onto the desk.

"One minute you want me all to yourself and the next minute you're just going to dismiss me" Karma just looked up at her with slightly pink cheeks.

"No- it's not like that-"

"It's ok" Amy cut her off, loving how this time, it was Karmas turn to squirm in her seat "I know you want me really" two can play at this game she thought to herself. And with a smirk she walked over to the door but not before turning around and looking back at karma who was still staring after her.

"I'll see you tomorrow then miss" she paused "and you're right by the way, Karma really is a bitch" she winked before turning round and walked out the door.

Karma sat in her chair and stared at where Amy had just totally used her line. But she was right and damn Karma really was screwed.
