*Sarah*
'Come in!' was the last Sarah heard before entering the, way too familiar, doors that led to the principal's office. She chuckled whilst figuring out that she probably had entered this room more often that Miss Rabe ever had. And not exactly for the best possible reasons. Sarah knew that whenever she was nervous, her palms would start sweating and her brain went to the most random places to avoid thinking about the object of her nerves. Object…Not actual people. People don't make Sarah Paulson nervous, heck no, she knew better.
'THEN WHY THE FUCK IS THERE SWEAT COMING OUT OF PLACES I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WAS POSSIBLE AND IS MY MIND ALL OVER THE PLACE?'
As quick as all these nervous thoughts had formed in her mind, they also disappeared when she finally looked up to the blonde. Sarah was shocked. Shocked to see actually see the woman sitting there. For some bizarre reason, Sarah kind of had banked on Miss Rabe all being a hormonal dream. But no, there she was. Damn, why was she even cuter than Sarah had remembered? Apparently Sarah wasn't the only one who wasn't in her comfort zone.
Miss Rabe had been drinking at the time Sarah had entered… And let's just say that now she wasn't exactly anymore due to almost choking on the water and having to cough multiple times to keep it from going down the wrong hole. It had taken all of Sarah's willpower to not burst into the biggest laughing fit. 'Wow', she thought, 'Apparently, I wasn't the only one affected by our little intimate situation in class back there.' This gave Sarah enough confidence to put an egocentric grin on her face. 'Let's have some fun', with this thought, she did let out a little chuckle.
'Um, hey! Hi um, how are you Sarah? Sarah was your name right? I think that's what I understood back there in class… Not that it matters, I have so many students! Um why are you here, something wrong?', Miss Rabe talked at about 500 miles an hour without breathing. 'Don't tell me I'm doing my job incorrectly already?' The blonde laughed at her own joke, not because she thought it was funny but because she was even more nervous than Sarah was. Oh wow, Sarah thought to herself, she really had fucked with her principal's mind.
Sarah couldn't help but actually growl laugh at this, the noises she was making were most likely inhuman, but come on. Miss Rabe's eyes went from friendly to 'what did I do wrong?' in about 0.002 seconds.
'Care to tell me what's so funny so that I join you and have a good laugh?' Sarah stopped laughed and looked up at the blonde. God, she looked so hot, sitting at the huge desk with her black glasses on. Sarah had almost forgot to answer, she was so lost in Miss Rabe's eyes. She had to keep it together, she had to show the principal that she wasn't a part of the 'many students'.
'Okay, take it from me: calm the fuck down.', Sarah played it all very chill.
'Excuse me?' Miss Rabe's eyes went all shiny, like she was about to have a major breakdown and actually really looked offended and lost. Sarah sighed and realized that the blonde was making this way too easy for her.
'Just, I don't know…. Don't worry about it that much. If this job is meant to be, it'll come naturally.' Sarah tried to comfort the other woman, something in her already hated to see her like this. Miss Rabe smiled softly at her, making Sarah's heart race.
'I'm guessing you're right. Thank you for saying that, Sarah… It was Sarah right?'
Sarah nodded, and the other woman continued.
'But I'm having second thoughts about this all… I can't do this… at least not at this point in my life. It was never my intention to be a principal from the get go, I want to teach. But my dad insisted and I thought I could give it a try. But I'm on my fourth hour of work in history and something in me is telling me that this is all wrong. Not to even mention all the stares I'm getting from my colleagues. It's horrendous.'
Sarah wasn't exactly known for being good at dealing with other people's emotions but all she wanted to do was pull her principal in for a hug. She seriously felt for the woman. Miss Rabe looked like lost puppy. Apparently the blonde had sensed Sarah's slight discomfort.
'Oh but nothing for you to worry about sweetheart! I'm sorry for dropping all of this on you.' Sarah wanted, more than ever, to tell the other woman that she could listen to her complain day in, day out and would never get bored. And for about the 78th time that day, Sarah sighed whilst thinking how big her soft spot was for this woman.
'It's okay, I promise you it'll be okay.' Sarah tried comforting her, earning another gorgeous smile of the blonde.
'But, wait a second, you forgot to mention why exactly you were here?', her principal asked with those big blue eyes of her.
Oh shit, how was Sarah ever going to tell her what she had said about the woman in class after the blonde's confession? She knew she was royally fucked if she didn't come up with something soon and probably would lose the bond they had just created in the short period they had talked to one and other.
'Um,' Sarah stuttered and cursed her lisp over and over again, 'We, as a class, just wanted to say again how welcome you were.' Sarah sighed, out of relief, and nodded to reassure Miss Rabe.
'Oh, well tell everyone that I truly appreciate it! And, again sorry for that whole rant back there', Miss Rabe smiled at Sarah, which made her weak in the knees.
'No problem! Also maybe one tip: if you want to keep your job and all that….I'd keep the whole eye-fucking for only one student, me. I enjoyed it quite frankly. Don't let anyone catch you though.'
Sarah had no idea where that reply came from, but she had to admit to herself that that was what she wanted to say to the blonde. It was sneaky yet flirty. She looked up from her thoughts and saw a perplexed woman staring at Sarah with her mouth wide open.
Sarah winked at the blonde, as cherry on top, and left the room. Once outside, Sarah realized that she wasn't exactly innocent for the 'undressing each other with their eyes' thing either but what the heck. With the biggest grin out of accomplishment on her face, she walked back to class, sat down and thought about what happened.
*Lily*
Long time after Sarah had closed the door of the her office and had left, Lily had still been seated with her mouth in the biggest 'O' form she had ever formed.
What. The. Heck.
Sarah had noticed what had happened in class. Lily's mind was all over the place.
'Why, why, why? Was Sarah going to undertake actions to get Lily fired? Would Lily get banned from minors for life? Why did Sarah bring it up like that?'
Her thoughts were all over the place going from being fired to her fiancé finding out. She was screwed, oh so screwed. The only thing that kept her from entirely breaking down was her having the feeling that Sarah wasn't going to tell? The brunette had said that she had enjoyed it…Lily shook her head. There wasn't 'IT', nothing had happened… Right? Right. Sarah was playing mind games with the principal.
Lily couldn't concentrate all day and at 4 pm sharp, she left her office, passed out awkward goodbyes to some colleagues and went home.
She told Ben that everything went okay on her first day as principal. But the guy wasn't born yesterday and immediately sensed something was off. The angel, like he was, didn't ask any further though.
In bed, she tossed and turned whilst one thought kept circling the blonde's mind.
'How. The. Heck. Am. I. Going. To. Make. It. Through. The. Year?'
