C2 My professor is my one night stand

EMMA WALES P. O. V

I woke up with a splitting headache. Rolling on the bed I discovered somewhere was there with me.

“Arrrrh!!!" I yelled as I jumped off the bed the next second. What have I seriously done?

The handsome stranger I had supposedly had a one-night stand with was lying on the bed, his expression calm.

The stranger sat up slowly, stretching his arms over his head. He looked at me with a grin.

I scowled at him, the events of the night before rushing back to me in a blur. I remembered going to a club with Sally then I saw Jens with another girl.

I was so blinded by rage that I decided to have a one night stand. I wasn't even drunk.

“Look Mr. We never met!!" I stated standing up from the ground as I hastily wore my clothes.

I must have gotten a thousand missed calls from Sally.

“Here, have this.." I threw some money at him to pay him for his services before dashing out of the room.

I must have lost my virginity, but at least I lost it to an extremely good-looking man.

As I fled the room, I didn't fail to notice the weird look on his face. Maybe I paid him too little.

But I couldn't stop. I felt like I was running away from my problems, but I just wanted to escape the situation as quickly as possible. I rushed down the stairs and out the front door, barely noticing the street I was on as I ran.

…..

I got to my house breathless and quickly headed for my room. I was about to go in when I heard my mother's voice.

“Young lady. Stop right there.." I paused in my tracks, biting my lips hard. My mother was back.

I turned, preparing myself for a sermon.

“Hi, mom.." I waved at her sheepishly.

My mother stood at the bottom of the stairs, her arms crossed over her chest. She looked at me with a mixture of disappointment and concern. I knew I was in for it.

"Where have you been, Emma?" she asked, her voice stern.

“I have been calling non-stop, worried about you. You didn't even bother to tell me where you were going. Do you know how scared I was?"

I could feel my mother's anger and concern radiating off of her.

“Um… “ I began scratching the back of my head.

" It was my birthday and Sally decided to take me out. I'm sorry I should have called.. “I apologized to her.

" That's uncalled for young lady.."

“I'm so sorry mom. It won't repeat itself again.."

My mother let out a sigh, and her expression softened.

"It's alright," she said, her tone softening. "I'm just glad you're safe. But please, let me know next time, so I don't have to worry. It's important to me to know that you're okay."

I nodded, knowing she was right.

"I promise I'll be more responsible," I said, looking her in the eye.

"I'm really sorry, mom."

"I know you are," she stated.

" Thanks.. “

" Um… mom.." I began as I wanted to discuss something important with her.

“Yes, dear.."

“I want a change of school.." I blurted out. Schools would resume soon and I wasn't sure I'd be able to face Jens again.

“You're kidding right?" She raised a brow at me. I was my mother's only child. My father passed on a long time ago.

"No, I'm not," I said, my voice firm. "I know it's not ideal, and it's sudden. But I just can't go back there. It's too hard for me."

" You have to be kidding Emma. You just come home late one morning and request a new school. Sorry dear, but I think I'll have to say no to you. You're going back. To Wells!! “ She said firmly but I was not ready to back down yet.

I was not going back to that school, never!

"Mom, I'm not kidding," I said, my voice shaking. "I don't want to go back there. I've been miserable there for a long time, and I just can't do it anymore. Please, can't you just hear me out?"

My mother looked at me, her expression conflicted.

"I hear you," she said. "But I'm not sure I can agree to this. You've been at Wells your whole life, and I don't want to uproot you like this” she pointed out.

“Mom please just say yes.." I pouted.

“My answer remains the same, Emma. No! You're going back to Wells. Whatever issue you have there, sort it out.." she said as I felt like crying.

I did not want to see Jens again but there was no way I could tell my mother that the reason I wanted to leave school was because of a boy.

She'd literally drag me there herself.

I knew my mother was right, but I couldn't bring myself to accept her decision. I was too upset, too hurt by everything that had happened with Jens. I just wanted to start over, to be in a new place where no one knew about what had happened. I wanted a fresh start.

“Mom.." I called ready to protest.

“Look baby.." she began holding my shoulders.

“I don't know what problems you have in school. But it's best if you sort them out." She drew out.

I knew my mother was right, but I couldn't bring myself to face Jens again.

"I can't sort it out, Mom," I said, my voice shaking. "I've tried, but nothing I do makes things better. I just feel worse and worse. Please, can't you just trust me?"

My mother looked at me, her expression softening. "It's not that I don't trust you," she said. "I just don't want you to make a rash decision that you'll regret. I don't know what happened , but this might not be the best way to deal with it”

"Your fees had already been paid. You'll resume school Monday.. “ she informed me and then walked away stating that was the end of our discussion.
