Again, I didn't think people liked this so much... I thought that I would be able to just leave this as a two-shot... Seems not! Anyway, here's another chapter!

I walked as silent as I possibly could down the dormitory hallways while thanking my lucky stars that no one was up yet. I looked like a mess and I knew it. My pixie cut is sticking up in random places and my blouse still had a few buttons undone as my cashmere hung from my right arm as I walked. I could feel that my red lipstick from the night before smeared over to the side of my mouth. It made me look more like the 'Queen Of The Walk Of Shame' instead of the 'Queen of Blackwell', but being with Maxine is worth it. After reaching my dorm room, I grab out my keys and unlocked my dorm door and slipped in. I placed my cashmere on my bed and walked over to my mirror. I put my hands through my hair and sighed as my mind rushed when I noticed the hickeys and love bites on my neck and collarbone.

What am I to Maxine? Am I just some girl that she'll replace? Why does she push me away every morning? I'm eighteen so there's no legal issues against this. My dad would be happy that I'm with someone like Maxine anyway after complaining that all the boys that go here are jackasses. So what's the issue?

... Is it me?

I haven't noticed that I went into autopilot as I noticed that I changed into pajamas and already grabbed my shower supplies after draping a towel around my neck just in cause if anyone did get up after I got back. I walked out my dorm again and headed for the showers. No one was up still so when I walked into the shower stalls, I walked up to one of the mirrors and looked at myself again. I noticed that there was a tear stain on my cheek.

I really need to get a hold of myself...

HOURS LATER

I was sitting in photography class before I knew it. Maxine was acting normal as ever as I was acting like I always did when it came to our day after routines. Me crossing my legs tightly over each other and her taking glaces at me when she tells us our assignment or when she knows the other kids aren't paying attention anymore. It seems time was flying past quickly because soon after, the bell run out loudly as most of the kids filed out as quick as possible. I made up an excuse to stay after and talk to Maxine like I normally did. This time it was along the lines of 'I didn't catch the assignment and I wanted to check my grade with her anyway'. It worked but Maxine shook her head at me as I walked over after the rest of the students left the room.

"Your excuses are starting to lack originality Tori." I felt a small blush threaten to appear as Max her pet name she made for me. She stood from her chair and checked to see that the door was closed. "Now what do you really want with me?" I almost bit my tongue from saying anything that revolved last night.

"Maxine..." She gave me a confused look.

"The full name... Am I in court or something?" I smiled lightly at that comment.

"In a way, yes." She came closer to the point that I could see the blue of her eyes perfectly. Her eyes always hypnotized me in a way. Ever since the first time I fully seen them, my mind always started to wonder whenever I seen just a hint of her shining light blue orbs.

"Then what is it Tori?"

It didn't take me long to respond. "What am I to you Max?" She flashed me one of her 'charming' smiles. It was the one that I heard the other students dubbed 'The Smolder' after the movie Tangled. I couldn't disagree. It was the smiled that still to this day makes my knees fidget and my stomach to swarm with butterflies.

"Oh Tori. You know that I care about you. I've told you many times before that this is more than just sex. I wouldn't do that to you." She placed a hand onto my cheek tilting my head slightly back in the process. "I love you. You should really stop doubting me when I say that." I gave her a weak smile.

"It's not that I doubt you. It's just that.. Whenever that we share a special moment, or what at least feels like one, you push me away and tell me to go before we get caught. And I still don't get why you're still obsess with not getting caught. I'm eighteen. There's no legal charges against this and my father would be happier if I ended up with you than any other the dumb asses here." Maxine's 'Smolder' soften into a small smile.

"You know why we have to keep this a secret. The public won't be really happy about this. Especially since no matter what, you are a student of mine. They'll believe that I'm taking advantage of you and your mother is the one I'm more worried about. She scares me.. And I'm a grown woman." I giggled lightly at her last quote but it seems she still got the hint that I wasn't fine with her answer. "Hey, how about this? Meet me at the gates after lights out. I'll make everything up to you." She put 'The Smolder' back on, knowing that I can't say no when she smiles like that.

"Fine. But this better be good Maxie."

"When have I ever let you down with my crazy plans?" I smiled at her before we shared a quick kiss.

"Never." She smiled brightly before checking the clock in front of the class.

"Shit! I gotta get ready for the meeting. See you tonight Tori." She kissed me on the cheek before rushing over to her desk.

"See you tonight Miss Caulfield." I walked over and opened the classroom door. "Goodbye Ms Chase." I walked out the room and down that hallway with one thought rattling my brain.

I can't help but love my teacher Maxine Caulfield.
