POV: Savannah
The bell rang again, dismissing us from class, and the day went on. The whole time I couldn't focus because I had one thing on my mind, Ryan. The more I thought about him being my teacher, the less I felt like doing any school related activity.
The end of the day finally came around, and I decided that I needed to stop by Ryan's room and get everything off my chest. I stormed down the hallways and into his classroom where he was packing his bag to leave for the day.
"Oh hey Savannah, how's—"
"You think you can just come into my school and make a fool out of me Ryan? Well you can't... you can't just pretend to be someone else by putting on a suit every morning and—"
He slammed his bag on the table, "Contrary to what you may believe, I am a teacher here and you are the student... I don't answer to my students will," he said, raising his voice at me, "Now you sit down, let me do my job, and have a conversation with me like an adult, or you can get out..."
We both looked over and saw Hannah standing in the doorway.
"Is this a bad time?"
"Nope, it's perfect. Savannah and I are done here—"
"Whatever Ryan, your job doesn't involve hitting on students, just remember that..."
Hatred filled his eyes as I walked out of the room.
"I can't believe I actually liked you! If you're gonna be two faced, at least make one of them pretty!" He shouted down the hall.
I was already well out of screaming range to say anything back to him, and I wasn't trying to get expelled because of his petty remarks. I walked out to the parking lot and got in the car with Reece.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, don't talk to me. I just wanna go home..."
Reece decided not to say anything, and began to back out of the parking lot.
When he dropped me off at home, Colin was already there waiting for me.
"Hey, how was your day?"
"Terrible, awful, the worst—"
"What? Why?"
"I don't wanna talk about it. I just wanna go to bed," I said, walking upstairs.
I entered my room, flopped down on the bed, looked at the clock, and fell asleep.

I was woken up in the middle of the night by the rustling of Colin climbing into bed next to me.
"Ughhh," I groaned, "we have separate rooms for a reason..."
"I know, but we didn't spend any time together today," he said, lying next to me and gently placing his hand on my arm, "now what's wrong?"
I looked over at the clock and saw that it was almost nine o'clock.
"Colin... what's the worst thing you can possibly think of for our relationship? Who's the one person that always causes problems for us?"
"Ryan? What'd he do now? Did he text you?"
I let out a sigh and flipped over to my back, "no..."
"Then what's wrong love?" He said, laying his head on my chest.
"He's back..."
Tension filled the room as we sat in silence.
"What do you mean– why would he—"
"My school transferred him there as a temporary substitute..."
Colin lifted his head and looked into my eyes. He didn't speak, he just stared... It felt like I was looking at a stranger.
He laid back down on his back and looked up to the ceiling with his hands over his face, "goodnight Savannah..."
Goodnight Savannah? Really?
It had been a long time since he said my name like that. Ever since we'd been officially dating, he would use sweet nicknames and kiss me goodnight. Tonight he didn't even do so much as give me a high five...
"Goodnight Colin...."
* * *
I woke up to my alarm clock at 6:30 the next morning and debated whether to get up or not. I didn't want to go to school... especially since Ryan was teaching, but I also didn't want to get expelled for not showing up.
I fought with myself for a while and decided It'd be best if I went... maybe I'd get lucky and we'd have a new substitute, since Ryan practically made a fool of the assistant principal and slammed the door on him.
I carefully got out of bed, making sure not to wake Colin, and grabbed my clothes from the closet. Once I gathered everything, I headed downstairs and hopped in the shower.
I was completely dreading school... more than usual. Normally a hot shower could relieve all of my tension and worries, but not today. The last time Ryan and I spoke, we were on good terms... I couldn't understand why being a teacher changed anything, especially since it was only bringing him closer to Reece.
I was completely thrown off from my thoughts when I felt someone's arms wrap around my neck.
"Don't move," he whispered, hugging me from behind and resting his head on my shoulder, "or else I'll be forced to pin you down and tie your hands behind your back..."
I let out a delicate laugh as he released his grip, and his hands made their way elsewhere.
"Colin," I said impulsively, turning around to face him, "what are you doing?"
"I'm trying to ease your nerves... just relax love"
He gripped my waist and pushed me against the shower wall, causing me to lose my balance.
"Easy there tiger, I'm slipping," I laughed, reaching out to grab the closest item in view.
"I'd love to hear that more often," he smirked, "would going down be such a bad thing?"
I gave him a disappointing look and continued with my shower.
"Colin you have to let me finish... as hot as you are, I'm on a schedule. I have to be at school in less than an hour and—"
"Why are you in such a rush to see Ryan?"
"I'm not, I'm just in a rush to get to my class," I explained, "don't be jealous—"
"I'm not jealous... I know that I could teach you far more advanced things," he said suggestively, raising an eyebrow.
I smiled at him, and opened the door to get out. He followed behind, turning off the shower in the process. I bent down and grabbed a towel from the cabinet below the sink.
"Let me help," he said, pressing his body against mine and taking the towel from my hand.
I watched water droplets roll down his chest as he unfolded the towel and began using it as an excuse to put his hands on me.
I was getting caught up in the moment when I saw the clock and realized I only had fifteen minutes left to put on my clothes and do my hair.
"Colin," I groaned, pushing the towel back against him, "I have to finish getting ready..."
"I think you look great... you should dress like this more often—"
"In nothing?" I smirked
"Exactly..."
I gave him a kiss and began putting on my clothes. Midway through, I glanced over and saw Colin gawking at me.
"Having fun?" I asked uncomfortably.
"Mmhmm" he moaned, letting out a heavy breath of air.
I studied his hand placement and a smile crept onto my face.
"Okay well, don't break anything over there..." I murmured, making his face flush with embarrassment, "hey, at least you already have a towel!"
Colin stood up and walked over to me, pulling on his briefs, repositioning himself, and tugging his shirt over his head.
"I helped you," he said lustfully, biting his lip and combing his fingers through his wet hair, "wanna return the favor?"
