1: New beginnings
Chapter 1: New beginnings.
“Look at me when I am talking to you, you know the rules now its time for your punishment little kitten.”
It was a nice light evening. The moon was high and bright allowing you to see everything around you. The wind was so light you could hardly tell it was moving except from the slow movement from my dress hem. As I looked at the Gothic building in front of me I allowed myself time to close my eyes and take a deep breath in allowing my body to calm down. Im here Im safe its time to start over again, this will be a good place.
My eyes shoot open as I realize there is a smoke smell coming from something in the school grounds. I open the gate to my new home running towards the burning smell trying to find the source of the foul smell. Passing by many students trying to get my attention I assure they start to run after me trying to stop me from running.I focus back to the task at hand. The smell. I approached some thick wooded area. The smell must be coming from the woods.
Just as I am about to enter the forest someone grabs my arm “Wait you can't go in there miss.” An out of breath teen boy remarks catches his breath. “Don't any of you smell that ?” He looks up to me ganing all of his breath back “Miss you must be new here that smoke is a normal thing for our headmaster to do its nothing new, hell do it a few times of the year, its all done safely, but your new here this is a restricted area for students.” I gave him a quick nod of my head
“ Yes I am new thank you for the information but I am not a student Im your new art teacher, so if you would be so kind as to show me the way to the headmasters office I have something to discuss with him.” The boy only turns around motioning me to follow him back to the Gothic building I had passed in my run to the smoke. This is a crazy first day at this new school well evening but still. I honestly didn't think I'd be able to take this job when I applied for the position, for a number of reasons, but here I am hired sight unseen.
“The office for the headmaster is all the way down the hallway to the left.” I give him a short nod of my head “Thank-you again for all your help this evening.” Turning down the long hallway. There is this sudden heavy feeling of someone watching me stalking me, but a quick look around proves that feeling to be false, I need to get him out of my head he's not here, he won't find me here. I left him in California when I left to come here in Tennessee there is no way his stalking ass followed me here is there am I just paranoid or is there something else here watching me now?
That is one of the reasons I was so happy to get this position not many people have heard of Misty Hollow Tennessee but that is what I loved about it there would be no way for him to follow me here there would be no way for him to sneak his way into my life like he did back home. Shaking off the cold chills running down my body I recite to myself my new mantra.
“ He's not here he's not going to follow you Amber” big breaths in calm breaths out. Reaching the door I read the Sign “Headmaster Sutherlands Office.” here goes nothing. As I knock on the big mahogany door I hear from within a stirn “Enter” I push open the door without a second of hesitation. “Excuse me Headmaster?” Assuming this man sitting behind his desk is the headmaster even though he seemed to be a bit young for the job I dare not judge him for I am young also. “Yes? Do you have a note from one of your teachers to come see me if you don't you know the consequences.” He doesn't even look up at me.
“I think you have the wrong Idea sir, I am not a student but your new Art teacher.” This seemed to gain his attention finally looking up from the oak desk his eyes seemed to roam all over my body lingering on my legs and breasts a little longer then I would have liked. “ Are you going to keep staring at me or are you going to show me my classes and sleeping quarters.?” He looks back down at his desk “Sit down, there seems to be a problem you are far too young to be a teacher.”
I scoff refusing the seat “ I am young but so are you ,and I can tell you that my qualifications are far more than what are requested on my application, I'm sure you can look over my file again if you so wish to.” He rose out of his seat, eyes locked on to my eyes, “I said to sit down Miss Petit.” open hands hitting his desk lifting papers off the top sending a loud crack thru the room and down in to my bones.
I do as I am told and a grin comes on to his face “Now that your listing to me should we go over your file as i'm sure that there has to be some kind of mistake.” He almost lets out a laugh. “Amber Petit age Nineteen that is the first problem, you're only now graduating high-school there is now way you have finished the proper schooling.” This statement made me laugh and laugh hard at this in between breaths and laughs I manage to get out...
“ Mr. Sutherland if you actually paid any attention then you would have seen that I graduated Highschool when I was Thirteen and took me only four years to gain my doctorate for art teaching. Yes I am young but i am also the most skilled teacher here.” His face got hard as the words left my mouth “Ah I see that, so why did you want to teach here in Tennessee I mean why not stay in California?” I scoff at him “First you insult me and now you are asking me personal inquiries, honestly you're only digging your own grave here Mr. Sutherland.”
The truth is I don't want to talk about my personal life with a man I just met even being 2,000+ miles away from anyone who knows him or I am. I still can't trust anyone with any secrets of my life. “Very well then you can take the position temporarily as I don't know if you'll actually get along well here with the other teachers and even the students.”
Picking up his phone “ I'll call your floor for a teacher to bring you to your class room and living quarters they are all located on the same floor, after you get a little bit situated you can come back down here and I'll have all your paperwork ready for you to sign, as this is friday night you'll have the weekend to prepare for the rest of the following week.” Mr. Sutherland says before calling someone with his phone.
“ Yes come to my office I need you to show the new teacher to the empty rooms on your floor.” He pauses listening to the other person talking on the phone . “ Well send someone who knows the floor down as soon as you can.” As he hangs up the phone he goes back to work ignoring me again. I say a quick “Thank you “ before turning to look out the window, biting my lip and twirling my necklace. I can feel his eyes on me barring into the side of my body, alternating between work and baring in to the side of my body like he's committing my body and curves to memory.
“ Could you not look at me like that you're making me feel uncomfortable.” I say without looking at him it sounds like he was going to say something when there was a knock at his door. “You may come in.” Headmaster Sutherland said I look to the door to see a man probably mid 30’s enter the door. “Sir you wanted to see me?” He nodded his head “Mr. Sokol yes please show Mis. Petit around and take her to the empty classroom and sleeping room. She is our new art teacher.”
Mr. Sokol had a big grin on his face “Welcome to our school, it's about time we got some new blood around here shall we go?” He asked very excitedly. Standing up I reach out my hand taking his “Nice to meet you and please call me Amber.” Grasping my hand “ Trust me the pleasure is all mine.” At that he leads me out into the hallway we walk in silence going up the stairs before anyone says anything.
“I'm sorry if Connor made you uncomfortable in his office he only took over recently from his father and has been stressed to get everything perfect and I'm guessing your age and beauty threw him off tonight, if you need anything you should let me know I'll be in the room next to yours.” He rambles on before falling silent.
“ Honestly I'm used to it by now ive been the youngest person for a while. Also why I've been jobless this last year and some, since I finished my Doctorate, no one wants to hire the Seventeen year old smart kid. I was thrilled when they didn't fly me out for an in person interview before they brought me on to work here. I was running out of options. I really didn't want to waste my education flipping burgers or something.” I say with a slight chuckle , and its true i was running out of options my art was only barely keeping us afloat in cali.
He stopped dead in his tracks causing me to run into his back smacking my nose into him. “ How old did you say you were again?'' His face was hard like Mr. Sutherlands was making me nervous of how he’ll treat me when he finds out my age. “I didn't say my age but i'll be nineteen in January.” My hand shoots up to my necklace with my nervus building up now with every passing quiet second. What is he going to say have I lost my only friend before we could have a chance to get along?
“Ok I knew you were young but I didn't think that young and did you say doctorate?” Suddenly I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in “Yes I completed my doctorate in Art Teaching when I was seventeen being a ‘Student prodigy’ I knew I wanted to be a teacher to help out students who where like me they really didn't know what to do with me in school I got in a lot of trouble actually art was my only safe place.” I mumbled the last part not really feeling all that brave. “ I'm only now working on my Doctorate in english I didn't feel the need to do it right away. I find it strange you did immediately. Can I ask you why?”
I paused to think about what I should say. “Honestly I knew there was no way I'd get a job so young and going to school everything was paid for housing , food ect. I sold my art so I could have savings. For post school apartments and expenses.” I shrug my shoulders and look to see his expression “ Didn't your parents help you I mean you were still a minor at the time?” The one question I was hoping not to answer, “ Well my parents died when I was eleven so I was moved in with a family friend for the last year of High-school but I never wanted to be a burdon on them so I gained my independence and became emancipated at sixteen.”
I mean it's mostly the truth just leaving the small details of there son out of the story “ That's respectable but don't think you have to do everything alone we try and be a family around here, so please if you need it ask for help there is plenty of nice teachers that are willing to do so.” he stops and puts a hand on my shoulder giving him a nod of understanding not feeling up to saying much else “Anyway this will be your classroom it has all the basics you'll have to talk to Connor if you need anything else each of our housing is attached to our classrooms just thru that door.” looking into the room it's simple yet perfect all at the same time there are Ten large drawing tables with about Twenty stools and Ten easiles scattered around the room. “Where is the supply closet for my room?”
“Its over here, but there isn't much in there our last art teacher was well for better words lacking in the enthusiasm for art, if you need anything you can make a list and give it to Connor if he says no to anything then you'll have to go and get it yourself there isn't much of a town but we get delivery often from the bigger city.” he walked over to one of the 2 doors in the class room reveling a mostly empty walk in closet. "and thru the other door is your apartment it should have the basic furniture which can be removed if you want to buy your own just let Connor know again and hell have it moved to the storage building."
“Ok well thank you Mr. Sokol I think I can find my way back to the headmasters office when I finish up here.” He seems hesitant but his face tells me that he has given into my wish “Alright come find me if you need anything and it's Jamie not Mr. Sokol to you.” And with that he turns to leave the room. As I am walking around I can feel a smile come across my face “I cant believe I’ve made it. I'm finally going to be able to start my life.”
After a few wrong turns I am standing in front of Headmaster Sutherlands office once again before I can nock on his door it's thrown open and an angry man was standing in the door frame “Get out of my way little girl.” he snarls at me before pushing so hard that I fall onto the ground hitting my head against the cool stone. The ceiling is spinning at this point and a ringing starts to come from the right side. Seconds later Mr. Sutherland was at my side helping me up.
“You'll have to excuse him. I just had to fire him so he's in a bad mood.” Once I was fully standing again he helped me into his office “You said there were some things for me to sign tonight?” he looked at me like I had two heads or something “Are you ok? it looked like you hit your head pretty hard there?" I just looked at him yes it hurt but I don't want to go anywhere tonight I just wanted to go to sleep. "Ill be fine but its been a long day and I would like to go to bed." he looked at me for a moment, "ok, yes here you go just sign on the highlighted lines your contract is for three years after that we will either extend or end your contract.” as I'm reading over the contract and signing as I go he is watching me intensely.
“Was there something you wanted to ask me?” taking a small look to see his face was in shock. “How do you always know I'm looking at you? And why aren't you asking me more about the man I just fired normally everyone is curious about anything that goes on around here.” I chuckle at his questions “One it's none of your business on how I know and second it's none of my business and if it was then I'd assume you would have informed me why he was let go. If there is anything I need to know then you should tell me now, I really don't need any dram coming in to this school.” Finishing up the last page of the contract I looked back up to him his face is now soft and I can see how young he really is and if im being fully honest with myself he is pretty hot, shaking any thoughts of Mr. Sutherlands hotness.
“I'll need a copy of the contract of course and I'll have a list of supplies for the classroom by tomorrow afternoon if that's ok with you?” He nodded his head thinking about everything that I was saying “I'll try my best to get you everything that you need by monday so please put the list in an order of most important to least then.” Giving a quick “yes” I leave his office finding my way back to my room once again to begin settling in for the next three years of my life.
Connors POV:
I'm finishing up in my office this week was fine nothing crazy just finishing up the loose ends with our old art teacher and making sure he dosent bring the school down with him, but tonight had been a long night all starting when she walked in with her long dark hair with the slightest curl to it and her big dark brown eyes that only seemed to bore their way into the deepness of my soul. trying to shake that feeling but I still can't help but wonder more about her. I need to know well… everything there is about her she's so shy and timid but there is a fierceness and wild side when she put me in my place there was nothing I'd rather do than to bend her over my leg and whoop her ass till it's red from my hand and whip.
Just thinking about her round ass laying across my lap rubbing and touching it as she squirms makes my d**k hard, when she is good and warmed up I'd bring it down so firmly that it would end up leaving an outline of my hand. I need to stop thinking about her. She is so young and a teacher plus I'm getting hard and there is no one planned to take my frustrations out on tonight. s**t I want her, how would I be so stupid shes hardly legal and a teacher at that I cant put my work at risk like that.
I grab my phone out and let out a groan as I punch in a number I've known by heart for years now. She picks up almost immediately “Hello, how can I help you?” her voice rings through my head reminding me why I don't call her anymore “Yeah how fast can you be here?” there is silence on her end “Give me Ten and I’ll be at your house.” the line goes dead. Guess I'll get some fun tonight. Packing up all my work I make my way to my house Amber is still on the front of my mind.
I'm sitting on the couch with my scotch in hand, fingers twitching from the fact that she's Twenty minutes late. Im just about to go to my room when a knock on my door brings my attention back to reality, going to the door she's in a long see through dress and kitten heels. “You're late.” She looks up at me through long lashes. “ It takes a while to look this good.” At this point I'm hard from thinking about Amber all evening and my hand is twitching to spank something “Then you should have told me longer if it was going to take you longer. Just get inside before anyone sees you.” I grab her by her arm pulling her in to my house.
“As you wish sir.” tonight is going to be fun for me at least. “Strip everything off and get on your knees and don't move till I tell you to.” she does as she is told without arguing or saying anything. Good she's listening to me tonight, I need her to listen after thinking about punishing her. Once she's on her knees I walk out of the living room to get the room ready for her. This is a punishment for being late and talking back to me. She always hated to put in this position when she was ready because she is not a calm person.
Once I felt like she'd been punished enough I walked back into the living room only to see her sitting on the couch looking on her phone, I can feel my blood boiling primed and ready to explode and the only person that I can is this little w***e sitting on my couch. “What are you doing sitting on your phone!!” My voice is strong and unwavering she only looks up at me with a bored expression “Are we going to f**k or not?” How dare she say that to me she knows that she only gets to answer the questions that I give her nothing else. “You know our relationship if you are unwilling to be a sub then get the f**k out of my house I have no need for you.” she almost looks shocked that I was saying this to her, this is surprising to me we have been in this relationship for years now. “you don't mean that. We can have s*x it doesnt need to be like that im sure I can make you very happy if you only let me try.” she starts pull me down on to the couch next to her, how dare this woman even touch me look at me at this point. “Ive always been very clear on where I stand in this relationship you do not get to try and change how we see eachother on your own and I am unwilling to change our relationship, so I'll say it again if you are unwilling to continue our relationship as is then get the f**k out of my house.” Im sure my face has it written all over that im serious that she needs to leave before I drag her out of my house by her hair, and with that she grabs her things and runs out saying “Your going to regret this one day Connor.” I highly doubt I will regret never calling this horrid woman again, Im smiling thinking of the fact that ill never have to see this woman again. Turing into the house my smile is lost, this just rilled me up even more, dam there is no one else I can call that would come last minuet like this,f**k.
I guess it's just me and my hand for the night then, I wonder how well Amber would listen to me?
