First off, I just want to say that for those of you who realised the 'Ms. Jackson' mistake in the first chapter, the first copy of this story was originally going to be written as a normal fiction story before I turned it into an OITNB fanfiction. Sorry for the rookie error!
"Assignment folders to the front of the class on your way out. I won't begin grading them yet as the project will be ongoing for the next week or so. If you have any questions, please stay behind and talk to me."
Alex picked up her book bag and slung it onto her right shoulder. She picked up her folder off the desk and smirked a little, she'd been too busy staring at her new teacher to ever think about writing anything worthy for the assignment. So far, she had her name, the date, title of the project and a brief proposal as an introduction.
"Dude if she checks our folders you're gonna get your ass kicked, the first 2 pages were meant to be drafted today." Nicky elbowed Alex. The two of them rarely did any work, and they did even less when they were together. History was the only lesson where they were able to sit next to each other as they had been separated in their Algebra and Science classes.
They walked to the front and slid their folders onto the desk, trying to get out of the class as quickly as possible in case Ms. Chapman noticed either of them. They barely even knew her, but they both knew enough to know that if she'd seen how little work they did, they'd both be in a lot of trouble.
"Hey, wait. I want a word with you."
Alex and Nicky turned round, both praying that they weren't the one who was in trouble. Realising Ms. Chapman was staring at her, Alex pointed to herself.
"Me?"
"Yeah. Alex, wasn't it?"
Alex nodded. "Hey Nick, I'll see you in the library in a few minutes, don't wait up for me."
When everyone else had left the classroom, Ms. Chapman sorted through the pile of folders on her desk until she found Alex's, then straightened them so they were all in line. She opened the folder and pulled out the paper that was inside. Unimpressed with what she saw, she sighed and looked at Alex.
"What is this?" She questioned.
Alex stood up straight and shoved her hands in her jacket pocket. "It's the start of my assignment."
"If that's what you can call it...I asked for the first two pages to be drafted out today."
"I guess I just got side-tracked."
Ms. Chapman set the folder down and folded her arms. "You had your eyes on me for most of the lesson. Now, I know I'm a new teacher and you guys probably think you can sweet talk me, but you need to complete your assignments otherwise you won't get the grades you want." Alex realised that Ms. Chapman knew what she'd been up to, and she smirked slightly.
"Like I said, I got side-tracked."
Ms. Chapman's eyes darted towards the floor, wanting to look at anything other than the student in front of her. Alex stared for a moment and realised that her teacher was...blushing? This only further added to her ego, and gave her a confidence boost.
"I don't want this happening again. If this carry's on, you're going to fall behind, and I'm sure that neither of us wants to spend extra time after school." She lifted her head and straightened out the blouse that she was wearing. Damn, she was hot when she was being professional, Alex thought to herself.
Alex raised her eyebrow and smirked a little at the thought, extra time after school with this teacher was exactly what she wanted.
"I'm sorry, it won't happen again."
As the students for her next class began to flood through the door, Ms. Chapman realised it was time to let her go. "You're free to leave now." She spoke, seemingly unable to look Alex in the eye.
Alex made her way for the door and didn't speak until she had her hand on the door handle.
"You know, maybe I wouldn't be so distracted if I didn't find you so attractive." And with that she left.
Ms. Chapman stood by the desk, taking in what Alex had just said. She'd only been teacher for 3 years, but she never expected that a student could be so forward with her. Had she heard her right? How did she have the nerve to talk to a senior member of staff like that?
She couldn't deny that this girl had pissed her off throughout the whole lesson. She'd caught her staring countless times, but she didn't seem phased by this at all. She was used to getting some attention off the boys in class and often they would stare or make crude remarks, but she'd never had this type of behaviour from a female before.
Sighing, she shook her head and welcomed her next class into the lesson.
Alex made her way to the library, Ms. Chapman still fresh on her mind. Getting to know her sure was going to be fun, but she knew that this teacher wasn't like most. She came across as a strong individual who certainly wasn't going to let an 18 year old get the better of her. But Alex knew that she could get her to crack, she was a confident young girl and giving up wasn't something that she did easily.
"You get into trouble?" Nicky shouted as Alex entered the library.
"Quiet, please!" The librarian hushed, scowling at the table of friends.
Alex got to the table and threw her bag down before replying. "Nah, but she caught me staring at her the whole lesson." She laughed.
"Dude, subtle isn't your strong point, is it?"
"You know that I like to make myself known; besides she's hot."
"And she's a teacher." Nicky sniggered. "Besides, don't think your girl would be too impressed if she found out what you were thinking."
"She won't find out though, that's the difference." Alex laughed.
"Good attitude you got there."
"Hey." Alex said defensively. "You know I wouldn't do anything like that to Ellie."
"Yeah, but that doesn't stop you from thinking about it."
Just then, Ellie appeared in the entrance and made her way over to the table that everyone was sat on. They all greeted each other and then began studying, working on whatever assignment or piece of work they had to complete. Every few minutes, Alex lifted her head and watched as her friends busied themselves with their work. Somehow, she couldn't occupy herself as much as she tried. All she could think of was Ms. Chapman.
Once the lesson was over, the group of students gathered their things and made their way to the exit. As they walked down the hall, they were about to pass Ms. Chapman's classroom when the door opened and the blonde emerged. In a quick attempt to see if she could make the blonde jealous, Alex grabbed hold of Ellie's hand protectively and held it tightly.
"You want a ride home?" Alex asked, whispering in her ear to make it look like she was saying something different.
As Ellie replied, Alex kept her eyes on the teacher as they passed each other in the hallway. The blonde was trying her best not to look, but as Alex looked over her shoulder, the blonde was staring.
As they got to her car, Alex took their bags and chucked them into the boot of her car. She dropped her girlfriend off at the same place – the street round the corner from her house and then drove home.
Like always, the house was empty when she got home. She thought about calling Nicky and inviting her over, but she wasn't in the mood for company tonight. Instead, she dressed in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and got into bed to watch movies.
The next morning, Alex had History 4nd period, just before lunch. She couldn't deny that she'd been looking forward to it ever since she'd gotten home last night.
"Ready to see her?" Nicky laughed as they walked down the halls.
"Shut up about it will you?" Alex shoved Nicky against the locker.
Nicky regained her footing and sped off down the hall after Alex. The two of them weren't exactly known for being model students, and instead made their name by causing trouble and making a lot of noise.
They were about to enter the classroom when a teacher further down the hall shouted of them.
"You two! What do you think you're doing?"
Alex stood with her hands in her pockets, her breathing heavy as she tried to catch her breath. Neither of them could talk in fear of bursting out into laughter.
"Don't you think you should be setting an example to the younger students? I'll be keeping an eye on the two of you. You're seniors, now act like it!"
The door opened behind them and it was Ms. Chapman.
"Second day of term and you're already being watched, way to go you two." Ms. Chapmans voice rung out in Alex's ears.
"Some people just have no sense of humour." Nicky scowled.
"You're late…again. Where were you?"
"Hm, I have no excuse today." Alex spoke truthfully.
"Well, at least you're not lying. You're off the hook." She pointed at Nicky.
"But you, you're staying behind with me. I took a look at the other assignments last night and the work you did yesterday was simply not enough…you can stay behind at lunch and catch up on what you missed yesterday."
"Are you kidding?" Alex argued. It wasn't fair that a little bit of missed work and lateness was landing her a detention.
"No, I'm not. Now inside both of you, I don't want the rest of the class being held up over your childishness."
At the end of the lesson, Alex was pissed that Ms. Chapman had been so unfair earlier. The detention wasn't the problem; it was the way she had spoken to her. It made her realise that getting on her good side, and in Alex's words 'getting into her pants' would be difficult than she first expected.
Quick chapter before I head off to work! Sorry for the shortness but promise the next one will be a better length!
