Hi guys. Here's the next chapter! Sorry it took me awhile to update but this has been a royal pain in the arse, and not the good kind lol. Fluffiness and humour as promised. I warn you though; this chapter fought me the entire time. I even sat down and watched the film while writing it to try and get a better incentive to write it but my swooning over Jareth just distracted me further lol. Anyway, I hope you like it! Let me know.
More fun times to come including Toby's return and Cookie Making :D

Sarah stared up into those stunning mismatched eyes in shock. He mind was going a mile a minute, far too fast for any coherent sentence to form logically in her brain let alone be verbalised.
"Wha…Wha…Wha…" Sarah stammered. Her brain was screaming a million different things at her all at once.
What the hell was he doing here? Why on earth is he posing as a Mythology teacher? Why has he showed his face after five years of nothing? Why is he just standing there grinning at me like a fool? And why on earth did he look…normal?
Taking in his appearance Sarah had to mentally keep her brain from going into melt down. This just did not make sense. There he was, bold as brass, larger than life, and all those other meaningless sayings you hear your grandparents say but never really take notice.
Jareth grinned as he watched Sarah's mental battle as to which question was going to come spilling out of her mouth first. He smiled as she quickly took in his appearance. Even if he did say so himself, and of course he would, he looked good. He had ditched his usual regal attire for a more casual look. His wild mane had disappeared into a short messy-surfer style haircut, and his usual tight pants were replaced with a pair of black jeans with a studded belt, which were of course still tight in the right areas but not as tight as he would have liked. He had also traded his usual silk shirt for a plain black tee. Yes, Jareth definitely approved of his human appearance.
Sarah definitely agreed with Jareth's opinion of himself, but still couldn't quite comprehend what on earth he was doing here, in her Mythology class of all places.
She went to voice some of the questions that were so frantically rushing through her brain but came up at a loss. What was she ment to say?
"Oh Hi Goblin King, havn't seen you in a while! Look, I know last time we saw each other I practically tore your heart out, put it through the shredder, then took the pieces and stomped on them but hopefully everything is cool now and maybe we could be best friends? Yeah? Oh, Hows the bog smelling these days?"
Ha, fat chance.
She opened a closed her mouth few times before residing to the fact that anything that she said in front of her classmates would condemn her as mentally unstable. Sarah let out a sigh and slumped against her desk as Jareth finished smirking at her and turned to address the class, all the while throwing her cheeky grins that told her he knew she wasn't about to start shouting her mouth off about Goblin Kings in front of a ready and waiting audience.
"So then class, where are we up to?" Jareth asked quirkily while lounging in his chair with his feet resting on the worn desk in front of him.
Sarah scowled. She did not like this. At all.
Eva's hand immediately shot up. Sarah groaned inwardly. Great.
"Yes, the bubbly blonde in the front row." Jareth purred seductively. Eva giggled at his attentions, causing Sarah to roll her eyes at the smugness of his so-called majesty. Eva shot her a giddy glance before continuing to tell him that they had just finished studying the morals that were subliminal within the majority of fairytales. Jareth's eyes lit up.
"Well, well that is interesting isn't it…" He slyly grinned at Sarah before turning his attention back to Eva. "And you my dear, you are a lively one aren't you… and what do I call you?" Jareth continue to purr while flashing his pearly white teeth.
"E-Eva" She stuttered and flushed like a giddy schoolgirl.
"Well Eva" Jareth stood and strode confidently towards her "You can go straight to the top of the class" He smiled and winked slyly at her earning another giggle.
Sarah had had enough of this charade and decided to take immediate action.
"Can we please start on today's lesson? Or maybe they could actually get a teacher who would be willing to actually teach!" Sarah spat bitterly.
It was bad enough that she had to put up with him for an hour without being able to confront him about his presence but for him to try and charm her best friend into his bed was another matter all together.
Not that Sarah was jealous at all…No, she wasn't, she thought to herself. She was just protecting her best friend from an evil, cruel, immoral, gorgeous, Goblin King. Yes, that was it.
Jareth's eyes turned cold as they met Sarah's. Staring into those electric mismatched eyes sent shivers down her spine. Trying to compose herself while keeping his gaze, Sarah opened her journal at a clean page and began tapping her pen lightly.
Eva stared at her brunette friend like she had just completely lost it and had started growing a bubble plant of her head.
Jareth smirked while holding her intense stare.
"Very well." He grumbled and strode back towards the blackboard. "Class open your books to the last chapter you studied."
Sarah breathed a sigh of relief; hopefully she had the uncomfortable situation under control, as long as nothing else out of the ordinary popped up unannounced then everything should be okay.
That's when it happened. It was the final straw as they say.
Sarah looked up from her journal to see Jareth flicking aimlessly through a Mythology textbook. But it wasn't any Mythology textbook, it was her textbook. That was it. All sense of control of the situation was lost and with it so was Sarah's will to remain seen as mentally stable normal young woman.
"I knew it!" Sarah bellowed at the top of her lungs while jumping up from behind her desk. The class stared around shocked at the petite girl who had caused half the class to have a heart attack from her sudden outburst. "I freaking knew it! That's my book you bastard!" Sarah had done it. She was officially deemed as insane.
"Sarah! What are you doing?" Eva called embarrassedly to her friend. But it was too late.
Sarah marched over to where Jareth lounged with a wide cocky grin plastered across his face and snatched the book out of his oddly handsome bare hands.
"Now, Sarah, was it? I have no idea what you are talking about and I will only warn you once, I shall not tolerate that kind of behaviour in my classroom." Jareth replied sternly while his eyes continued to dance with the amount of mischief the wildest goblin would have been proud of.
Continuing to infuriate Sarah was never a recommended idea, which Jareth soon found out.
"What do you mean 'Your classroom'? You're not even a real teacher! Speaking of, what the hell are you doing here!?" Sarah let out a frustrated growl and grabbing the closest thing to hand (ironically the stolen Mythology book) struck Jareth on his jean clad thigh.
As soon as she felt the book lightly collide with his well toned muscles she regretted it. His eyes turned colder than before and a scowl broke out across his define features and he stood and raise himself to his full height staring Sarah down.
The entire class broke out in a hushed mutter about "assaulting a teacher" and what Sarah meant by "what are you doing here?".
Sarah caught Eva's eye from across the room. She was dumbstruck. Yep, Sarah was pretty sure she thought she had lost all mental ability, and to be honest, Sarah slightly agreed with her.
She turned her gaze back up to that of the now terrifyingly so Goblin King.
Uh Oh.
"Sarah, outside. Now." He grumbled harshly.
Sarah didn't need to be told twice, practically running from the classroom while Jareth stalked angrily behind her following her out slamming the classroom door behind them.
The class stared dumbly around in brief shock for a moment before bursting into a babble of gossips and possible consequences Sarah might face. Eva was suddenly ambushed by a wave of questions being thrown at her from fellow classmates. The main question asked, also mainly by the female classmates, was what history did Sarah and Jareth had between them.
And trust her; she wanted to know exactly the same thing.
So there you go, Chapter 3. Sorry if it didn't live up to expectations but I really struggled with this chapter, how to handle Sarah finding out about Jareth etc. But I hope you like, if you don't I promise it will get better lol.
Also guys, if there are any humorous scenes between Sarah and Jareth you fancy seeing let me know! I'm planning Toby's return for one chapter and lovely cookie making for another :D Fun times!!
Talk soon!
