Miss Thalia Sage's POV

I lay in bed staring at the ceiling mulling over everything that's happened in the last couple months. I've worked out I'm a lesbian and it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have a big ass crush on my student who can be really nice one moment then a total bitch the next. Aria my best friend believes that Jezebel likes me back but I'm not sure, Aria also believes I should take the risk and go after Jezebel another thing I'm not so sure about.

I sigh heavily and glance to the clock on my beside table two minutes before I have to get up and get ready for the last day of school before Christmas break. Christmas break. I can't wait. I need some time to clear my head. My eyes heavy with sleep droop closed. Two more minutes.

TEO HOUR!!! I slept for an extra TWO HOURS!!! I'm so late! Shit, fuck, shit! I sprung out of bed looking for my phone. "Where the fuck is it!" I shouted. I ran put of my bedroom and to the kitchen where I found my phone on the kitchen bench. I quickly dialled the schools number and ran back to my room to start getting ready.

"Hello-" the schools secretary's voice chimed down the phone.

I cut her off before she could say anymore. "Hello it's Thalia Sage," I say pulling on a pair of jeans trying hard not to fall on my ass.

"Miss Sage, you didn't show for your morning classes."

"Yes I know I'm very sorry, I had a splitting headache and fell back asleep, but I'm right to come in now, I'll be there in five minutes." I say buttoning up my blouse.

"Alright, please don't let it happen again the principle doesn't appreciate such tardiness from his staff."

"Yes of course, very sorry." I hung up the phone before she could say anymore, got my things together and sprinted out the door.

I entered my second hour class to find the substitute sleeping soundly in my chair and the class behaving like wild animals. "Alright, quiet down!" I shouted over the noise, startling Mr Jerald awake.

"Oh Miss Sage." He mumbled.

I raised an eyebrow before pointing at the door, he got out of my seat and stumbled to the door so quickly I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped my lips. I looked back to my class to find them all sitting in their seats.

"Alright, sorry I'm late class. I hope you enjoyed your free time but now we are going to get some work done."

"Work, oh come on miss it's the last day before Christmas break!" Jezebels silk like voice called.

I sighed looking up at the clock to see half the class time had already passed. "Alright you can continue to have free time but keep the noise down or you'll pulling out the text books."

Everyone whooped and whistles but immediately calmed down when I raised an eyebrow at them.

**Jezebel Winters POV**

I sat in my seat in the back of Thalia- I mean Miss Sage's classroom talking with Dylan and Kade about random things. Miss Sage had failed to show today and instead we got Mr Jerald hE was known for being hungover or drunk twenty-four-seven and sleeping right through anything, so the class took advantage of this to do what ever they like.

I was disappointed that Miss Sage hadn't shown today as this would be that last time I saw her until after Christmas break and I had grown to like seeing her almost everyday.

Gabriel has been OK the last few weeks, only going into the hospital for his scheduled treatments and checkups, but the great days had still been far and few. It was unclear at the moment exactly how long he had, a few years or a few months the doctors couldn't tell us.

"Alright settle down!" Miss Sage's voice pulled me from my thoughts. I couldn't help the smile that tugged at my lips upon seeing her, she was dressed in black skinny jeans and a white blouse, her hair seemed as if she'd just thrown it up into a bum without even brushing it and her face was clean of makeup. She looked stunning. Completely natural and I loved it.

"Alright, sorry I'm late class. I hope you enjoyed your free time but now we are going to get some work done." Miss Sage said.

"Work! Oh come on miss it's the last day before winter break." I called. She caught my eyes and I couldn't help but stare into her captivating fogy blue eyes.

She then broke the connection and glanced up at the clock. "Alright you can continue to have free time but keep the noise down or you'll pulling out the text books."

I grinned and her eyes caught with mine again, a smile gracing her lips. We stayed like that for quiet some time staring into each other's eyes. I had thought a lot about what Gabriel said and I was really starting to contemplate going after her. Thalia's eyes then broke away from mine only to fall upon my lips. I smirked and bit my lip, getting a marvellous reaction from her, she blushed like crazy and looked away a shy smile on her pink lips.

"Jezebel, Jezebel, Jezebel!" Dylan called waving his hand in front of me, breaking the trance.

"What!" I snapped, giving him a nasty glare.

"Sorry..." He frowned before saying, "I was wondering if you were gonna come to the skatepark today, we've really missed having you around?"

"I'll think about it." I grumbled before returning my gaze to Thalia only to find her nose deep in a book. I sighed and threw another glare towards Dylan.

Awhile late the bell for lunch rang but I didn't get up from my seat. "Are you coming?" Dylan asked.

"No." I said not bothering to give him an explanation. He shrugged it off and left probably assuming I was in one of my "moods".

I got up from my seat and moved to stand in front of Miss Sage's desk. Miss Sage looked up from her book and jumped upon seeing me. "Jezebel, you startled me, what are you still doing here?" She asked holding a hand to her chest.

"I was wondering if I could stay in here for lunch?" I asked.

Both her perfectly manicured eyebrows rose. She placed a bookmark in her book before placing it aside and saying. "Of course but may I ask why?"

I shrugged pulling up a seat. "My friends are starting to really get on my nerves always humbugging me to go to the skatepark of something."

"Do you not want to go to the skate park," she frowned. "I thought you liked skateboarding?" She leaned forward resting her elbows on her desk, head in her hands, revealing some of her cleavage. I couldn't help but let my eyes travel down.

I quickly snapped my eyes back up to hers, clearing my throat and saying, "I do but, um," she bit her lip. "Between work and watching Gabriel I don't have time."

"Why don't you take Gabriel with you to the park, I'm sure he'd like that?" She asked.

I sighed my shoulders slumping forward. "Yeah, he would, it's just... Never mind."

She reached out to take my hand. "You can talk to me." She whispered. Her hand was soft and warm, it had a comforting feel any I never wanted her to let go.

Tears welled in my eyes as I contemplated telling her about Gabriel but just as I opened my mouth to begin the bell rang causing me to jump slightly. Thalia squeezed my hand gently before retracting her own.

"Um," I cleared my throat blinking away the tears. "Have a good Christmas miss, I guess I'll see you after the break." I said whilst standing up.

"Yes, you two dear." She said softly and I left the classroom.
