School outfit:

PS: these don't really have to be the outfits. They're just what I'd like them to be and what I imagine Alice wearing, you know she's a soft girl aesthetic person. So you're free to imagine whatever outifts you want. Thank you💖

"I'm sorry we're barely spending time together these days." I say to Steph as we walk to class together. Its a new day, a nice day, the weather is nice and I have Collin for first period. Plus, Stone didn't drive me to school today, so its a pretty good start of the day for me.

"No, I get it. And I'm sorry I made you wait up for me last night." Steph says.

"Yeah, I couldn't tell you what happened throughout the day. You're going to be surprised. Okay, so as you know, Collin came over in the morning-"

"What? He came over? To our house?" Steph asks all shocked and smiley.

"Umm, yeah, I thought you knew that." I say.

"Why would I know that? You're telling me just now." she chuckles. What?

"How did he come into the house if you didn't open the door for him? Did you not let him in?" I'm very confused at the moment. Steph has a bad memory so I shouldn't dig that deep into this.

"Umm, I think I would remember, Alice. This is news to me." she says before we stop at my locker. "How did he come into the house?" she asks.

"Good morning, girls." we both turn around at the time only to find Collin standing right beside us. Oh my god, did he hear our conversation?

"Mr. Scott, I need to ask you something. Yester-" Steph starts saying. Is she out of her mind? She can't confront him!

"Yeah, Steph thinks she saw you yesterday at the... mall." I quickly say, interrupting her.

"I didn't go to the mall yesterday." he says.

"Then that wasn't him." I tell Steph as she looks from me to him.

"Uh, anyways, this is the essay you asked me to look over." he says as hands me a paper. Essay?

I open the folded paper, 'meet me in class five minutes before the bell rings' is written on it, with his lovely handwriting that I can recognize every time.

"Oh, yes, thank you, Mr. Scott." I nervously say and smile, he smiles back and leaves.

"Steph! Are you crazy!"

"What? He broke into our house, Alice!"

"Of course he didn't break in! There must be some explanation to this." I say.

"There better be." Steph says and walks away.

"Ugh." I sigh and start walking to English class, I wonder why he asked me to meet him.

I walk into class and Collin is already sitting at his table looking divine.

"You wanted to see me?" I say as I walk towards him, he's looking at me with a sexy smile on his face, almost as if he's too happy to see me.

"Yes," he answers before standing up and walking towards me, "Yes I did." he says and quickly slams his lips on mine. One hand goes to my waist and the other on my cheeks, my hands are just holding my books against my chest so hard.

Without parting the kiss, he takes the books from my hands and throws them to the ground before placing both his hands on my waist and pulling me up, making me seated on his table, him between my legs.

I wrap my arms around his neck as his hands caress my exposed thighs up and down. His tongue is in my mouth circling around with mine, but I quickly pull away when the sound of the school bell rings in my ears. The worst thing that would happen to me is if anyone from school finds out about Collin and I. Not only will he be fired and sent to jail, but I think I might get suspended. Ruining his life is the last thing I would ever want.

I quickly grab my books off the floor and both of us start fixing our clothes and hair.

I take my usual seat, front desk, closest one to the teacher's table, and then students start coming in, greeting me and saying 'good morning' to the teacher.

We're still mid-session and I'm still thinking about that kiss half an hour ago. That and the fact that Collin might have came into me and Steph's house without any permission. I'm pretty sure Steph forgot she even let him in. But if she actually didn't, did he really break in? Maybe the door was unlocked and he walked himself in. Thats normal, not so bad. But we never leave the door unlocked, never. I need to talk to him after this.

"Ms. Wilson? Are you okay?" I hear Collin say, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Uh, yes, sorry, everything is fine. Sorry, Mr. Scott."

"If you want you can be excused for a few minutes." he says. Aww.

"Uh, yes, thank you. I just need to... wash my face." I say and get up to leave. I feel fine, I just need a few minutes of silence and I'll be okay. This whole breaking-into-the-house- thing is taking over me and I need to get rid of it as soon as possible.

I walk out of class heading for my locker and bump into the last person I want to see at the moment, or ever.

"Oh, look who we have here." she says. Oh god, how much her voice annoys me.

"Good morning, Ashley." I tell her, all cold.

"Whats wrong? Are you still upset that I was hanging out with your crush yesterday?" she says as she makes a frown, she's being sarcastic and thinks she's so funny, how childish.

"Ashley, I don't know why you think I have a crush on Mr. Scott, but I don't, please get that through your head."

"Or else what?" she gives me that evil smile of hers.

"Or else-"

"Or else you'll rat me out to your gangleader of a boyfriend? Honey, listen, no matter how much power the guy you're fucking has, you will always be nothing." she says the last part slowly, coming closer and closer to my face.

"You know, you have everyday to be a bitch, can you not be one today?" I say before turning around and going back to class. Wow. I've never insulted anyone before. This is new, Stone is really bringing out the worst in me. But with Ashley, you can't always stay quiet.

I walk into class my face as red as a tomato because of that Ashley thing. The door slams shut behind me as I stomp to my seat. Everyone in the classroom is looking at me, even Collin. He must be thinking what made her so angry when she was just fine with me this morning.

"Uh, Mr. Scott, I have a question." a student says from behind.

He doesn't answer the student, he's just looking at me, and I'm looking back.

"Mr. Scott?" the student says in a louder voice which grabs Collin's attention and he turns his gaze away from me.

The bell rings, first period is, unfortunately, over. "James, Alice, can you stay behind for a few minutes, please?" Collin says.

After all the students are gone, James and I are left standing beside Collin's table. "James, you need to get those grades up if you wanna stay on the football team." he says. They chat for a few seconds before Collin tells James he can go.

"Sorry, I had to make someone else stay too. Don't want anyone to suspect anything." he chuckles and I give him a neutral smile. "What happened, Alice?" he asks and I immediately know what he's talking about.

"Nothing, nothing, its just... something has been on my mind." I say.

"Which is?"

"I was talking to Steph, and she said she didn't let you inside the house yesterday... like, she wasn't the one who opened the door for you when you came over." I say and start studying his expressions. He's thinking what to say.

"Nonsense. She did. She must have forgotten or something." he doesn't look nervous, maybe she did actually forget. Or maybe he's a professional liar, but I don't think he's lying.

"Yeah, thats what I kept telling her." I chuckles. "Okay, so, I should get to my next class." I say.

"Okay." he smiles and gives me a soft kiss on the lips before I leave.

I'm not going to speak with Steph again about this. Its stupid and silly and not worth the arguement. And besides, its solved, if he said she let him in then thats the truth. Right?
