Sarah And Trouble

....

A smooth bus ride starts your day off at school.

....

You sit still in your seat focused on Keiko's soft lips as she speaks to you with radiant smiles placed inbetween her words. Realizing this you snap yourself out of the reverie and try to focus on what she is actually saying, something about schoolwork. Other than the lessons and notes, there's a transfer student arriving this week and the class is speculating in hushed whispers about them.

Not thinking about it that much you just nod back to Keiko. Most of your brainpower is spent on the missed lessons.

....

"Hello, Jun." You look up from your notes and see Ms. Erickson, your fine brunette teacher with the sexy glasses.

"Hey, good morning Ms. Erickson." You give her a smile while trying to sound casual.

"I'm glad you've recovered, hopefully you don't get sick again. I was quite worried one of my best students would miss out on lessons." She smiles holding her notebook.

So that's the cover up story? You were sick? That sounds so generic surely someone would question it, afterall you've never gotten sick before.

"Yeah, I'm good now so no need to worry Ms. Erickson. I have Keiko helping me with notes too so I'll be fine." You say and glance over your shoulder to Keiko nearby.

Keiko hearing her name looks your direction and gives a thumbs up your way.

Ms. Erickson chuckles cheerfully. "That's fantastic! I'm glad you have friends helping you, but if you have any other questions please do make sure to ask, alright? I'm also free after school."

Your wild imagination stirs up again, the fantasy of staying after school with a teacher....a classic.

"Uh- Yea! Yeah of course. I might visit just to make sure I understand everything." You say quickly shutting your notebook with a smile.

The bell chimes throughout the school signaling the next period. Ms. Erickson nods to you with a smile back and goes up front to dismiss the class.

'Damn....she's so hot.' You say to yourself - eyes trailing down her figure as she walked away.

....

....

....

You walk down a hallway, your steps gentle and slow. The school day is about half over and you're settling into the usual schedule pretty well. Despite the week long hiatus You've already caught up with the missed lessons.

Ms. Erickson tasked you with delivering a set of textbooks to the office and having done just that you now walk back enjoying the gathering of students and the echoes of cheerful banter. It's a free period so you have some time for yourself to wander.

Rounding a corner you encounter a sudden gasp as a specific blond haired girl with pink tips runs into you. Her forehead almost smacks into your nose.

"Ah!-" She yells into the air and you both grab each other.

"Sarah?" You say and she looks up at you with a growing smile.

"Oh! Bo- I mean, Jun!" She separates from you after steadying herself.

"No running in the hallway." You say and point a finger to her chest.

"-Fuck! Wait up you bitch!" A girl says running up to you both. You don't recognize this one but she has a pretty similar look to Sarah style wise. Painted long nails, long fake lashes, lots of makeup and a short skirt that challenges the school dress code. Except this girl has black hair with blue highlights.

"Kristi I told you I don't wanna do it anymore!" Sarah shouts out to this girl and scrambles to hide behind you.

Assessing the situation your face falls into a stoic look - brows furrowing at the newcomer.

This 'Kristi' girl looks up at you and then towards Sarah. "Who the hell's this?" She says folding her arms and popping her hip to the side.

Sarah grabs onto your arm and peeks out. "Just go away!"

"Hey, calm down - both of you, and don't shout in the halls." You put a hand up to try and calm the two girls. Sarah hides again.

"....You think you can seduce this guy to protect you too?" Kristi begins to say, clearly ticked off about something. "C'mon Sarah! Ya think you're above us? You're just a dumb bitch willing to do anything for money! Don't pretend you're not! Come with me or you're going to be in deeper shit with the others!"

You clench your teeth. Those words weren't directed to you but they were laced with venom. Sarah holds onto you tighter.

"Hey, c'mon slow down." You attempt again to neutralize Kristi's aggression.

Kristi makes a face at you directly, finally acknowledging you and points a finger. "Hey! Handsome, you chill somewhere else okay? Just walk away before you regret it. Especially if you're trying to protect this bitch."

You scowl at the girl. She's getting on your nerves. "Hey! Stop it alright? She clearly doesn't want to talk to you right now. Please just walk away." You sigh.

"Oh yah? Who the fuck are you to tell me off huh? YOU fuck off! Mind your own damn business! Sarah! Come here right now! This is your last fucking chance!" Kristi shouts.

"Stop-" You try again but she cuts you off - rapid firing her words at the two of you.

"-SHUT UP!!!"

Kristi is as red as a devil and moves around you to get to Sarah. "Sarah! You know the fucking consequences right!? You know who you're fucking disobey-!?"

"HEY!!!"

You shout raising your voice and take a step inbetween her and Sarah. Kristi flinches showing a bit of fear through her eyes, enough to destroy her aggressive front.

There is silence between the three of you. Kristi is frozen having taken a step back.

"Sorry. I don't think Sarah wants whatever you're suggesting at the moment....have a good day." You say coldly and quickly before leaving. Sarah clutches onto your arm and follows after.

....

When you are far enough away you turn around to look at Sarah and realize she is holding onto you tightly - her knuckles are white. Sarah gulps hard and fixes her uniform, an uncomfortable fidget.

"So ummm....sorry boss. I uh....guess I should give an explanation huh?....Do ya want one?" Sarah says with a nervous tone and her eyes flicker back and forth from your eyes to the surrounding.

"Yes, please tell me what's happening. And if it matters or not, it's an order." You say and settle your hands onto your hip like how a parent would.

Sarah continues her nervous fidgets along with a few nods. "Umm....you remember that night? That night where you found me? And there was those guys that you beat up?....Wellllll~....some of them go to this school and....I used to hang around with them and sometimes do hand offs for money....j-just delivery stuff! Like s-smuggling....b-but I don't do that anymore! Ever since you helped me I stopped and tried not to get involved anymore."

"And I'm guessing they want you back? Why's that?" You question her.

"Well...." Sarah says and looks away. She begins to sway back and forth nervously. "The umm....their gang leader's younger brother goes to this school. He's a student here and-"

"-A student? Who exactly?" You cut in immediately.

"His name is Yao....he's in the same year as us. I kind of promised him that I'd uh-....sleep with him if....they helped with my money problem...."

Shame is displayed on her red beet face and her eyes trace the lockers nearby completely avoiding your gaze now. Seeing this you sigh into the space between you two - she can feel the dissapointment mixed into your breath. In truth it was more possessiveness than dissapointment.

"I think you told me this before about promising your uhhh....first time to someone....it must've been hard saying that again." You give her a reassuring nod, you shouldn't be surprised or dissapointed, she hinted at this already.

"I'm not mad, nor am I disappointed. Thanks for telling me and....sorry you had to do that."

Sarah looks up at you again with a smile and slowly walks forward to hesitantly hug you. Her face nuzzles into your chest. "Nooo~, It's alright Boss. I'm honestly just glad to be working for you instead."

You reciprocate a hug back, although it's with a restrained diligence as you keep in mind the setting. You're out in the open and anyone can come around the corner - which would spread some annoying rumors....

"If anything happens make sure to tell me right away, you can rely on me, alright? I don't want my assistant getting hurt...." You say and then facepalm. The gifts....Sarah's phone....shit, she can't exactly communicate with you.

"Sarah, since you don't have a phone you can have mine. If anything comes up call either Amelia, Ameko or Keiko and tell them what's going on." You hand the phone over to Sarah.

"Y-Yes boss! Ya got it!" Sarah says with a wide smile and holds your phone with an excited and enthusiastic look.

Speaking of staying in touch - you grab her shoulder and lean in. She clutches onto the phone tightly and watched with wide eyes as you kiss her. Your lips touch briefly, gently....

....and then part.

Inches apart with your noses touching you stare into her emerald sparkling eyes. Her glossy lips and sweet perfume kickstarts a little high in you, a good little feeling....so good in fact that if this wasn't in some hallway of the academy you might have pinned her against a nearby wall and did what you wanted to her.

The soft light from the nearby windows illuminate her face in a beautiful glow.

....and then the moment was over. She looks away with a blush, smacks her lips to redistribute her lip gloss and then brushes her bangs to the side to fix herself.

"Oh. Uh, sorry....here." You say and take out the bills in your pocket that had appeared.

Sarah gently takes it from you and pockets it. Her lips are pressed tightly together as if to tame a smile. "O-Okay....thanks boss~."

With that Sarah whips herself around and after a final goodbye glance - runs off quickly down the hall. The sound of her shoes against the floor is lost amongst the other background noises.
