Ella's POV;

2 months.

2 months its been since I started dating Mattie, and started fake dating Joe.

Mum has made me bring Joe home to dinner a few times, where we've had to pretend that we're a couple.

We did it with ease to be honest, I just couldn't help wishing that it was Mattie sitting next to me, across from my parents and not his brother.

Every second I spend with Mattie I fall for him more and more. I think I'm falling in love with him.

Obviously I really really liked him, but I've never quite felt anything like this before.

It's hard to explain, but it feels like every time I'm with him, there's a fire in my belly, and I feel invincible. He makes me happier than anyone ever could, and I really think I'm falling in love with him.

Obviously I'll never tell him this because he might think I'm an emotional teenager that's just desperate for love, or he'll run for the hills.

Now I found my feelings very odd, as I always used to cringe when I heard someone say they loved their boyfriend or girlfriend when they had only been together a couple of months, because love was such a strong word.

But being with Mattie made me realise - there was no real time limit on if you loved someone or not. You could be with someone for a week and just know you love them.

That's what it felt like with me and Mattie. I had only been with him a short time of 2 months, but I already knew I was falling in love with him.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Donte asks me.

I sorted things out with Donte, he also liked me so he felt left out when I went with Nate that night at the party and not him, but we sorted things out now and we're good.

"Oh nothing really, I'm just tired that's all," I lie.

"Maybe you should go to bed earlier and stop letting Joe keep you up all night," He smirks and points his head at my neck.

I instantly remember the hickey that Mattie had left when I saw him the other night.

"Shhhh," I giggle whilst trying to cover it up.

"We better go to class," Chase says and I nod before collecting my s**t.

I walk into my favourite class and sit on the front table as usual.

Mattie was looking extremely gorgeous as always.

His suits were getting tighter and tighter, and I smirk as I was the one who suggested that he should wear tighter suits.

It's going to be very hard to resist him this lesson.

Joe takes a seat next to me and smirks.

"What?" I raise one of my eyebrows at him.

"Try and make it less obvious you're dating the teacher," He whispers very very quietly and I blush.

"You whispering dirty things in her ear?" Donte smirks.

"Something like that," Joe replies and I chuckle.

"Right class, today you will be carrying on with your work from last lesson, and I will call you up one by one so I can have a little 10 minute chat with you individually about your work and progress," He tells us and I choke.

"Something the matter Miss Faye?" He looks directly at me.

Oh f**k he's making me nervous again.

Of course there's something wrong, I have to spend 10 minutes with you giving me direct eye contact and there's nothing I can do about it because we're in public. f*****g tease.

"Oh no Sir, everything is fine," I smile and he smirks.

"Good. Everyone get their work out and I'll call you out in alphabetical order. Scott Adams, you're up first," He says.

I get my work out of my bag and place it on the table.

"I heard Jessica Rowe has the biggest crush on Mr Wilde, and I heard they're f*****g," Donte tells us.

Oh really? That's interesting being as he's my boyfriend.

I f*****g hate rumours, but I have to act as this one doesn't affect me.

"Oh really?" I say, disinterested.

"Yeah, I mean its probably true though, she is a slag, like who would want to bang a teacher? She's obviously doing it to get higher grades," He laughs.

My hands ball into fists and I feel Blake place his hand on my thigh.

"Mate, he's my brother remember? I think I would know if he was banging a student. It's clearly a rumour. Plus, why Jessica? There's so many more decent girls out there so it's not true," He says and I feel him place his hand on my other thigh.

I discreetly smile at both Blake and Joe for calming me down.

"Ella Faye," Saved by the bell. I think to myself.

I walk over to Mattie, and he's standing up with his back to the class, putting some paperwork away.

I take this opportunity to switch the chairs around, so I was sitting on the big comfy chair and he was sitting on the smaller chair.

He doesn't seem to notice as he just takes the seat next to me and sits down.

"Now Ella, I have been extremely impressed with your progress. It seems as if the little revision sessions we had have paid off," He tells me and I feel my cheeks heat up at some of the memories.

He moves closer to me ever so discreetly so our thighs are touching, and I smile at his contact.

"Do you feel as if you have progressed?" He asks me and I nod.

"Explain why," He smiles at me.

I look into his mesmerising eyes and melt.

"Because before we did those sessions, I didn't really know much about any of the subjects we covered, but you helped me through them, and going over it with you helped me a lot," I tell him as he studies me.

"Thank you for helping me," I smile.

"That's what I'm here for El, I'm here to help you with anything. I mean I just want you to pass," He smiles and I understand what he's trying to say, but obviously he cant say it with everyone here.

"Now I need to write a comment about you so the head teacher knows that you're doing well, I will be doing this with everyone else as well, what can I write?" He asks me and I smirk.

"Something good about your progress," He adds because he knows what I'm thinking.

"You could write that I've achieved the grade I wished to achieve, and now I'm working towards a higher level," I say and he nods whilst typing.

"Then add a smiley face on the end," I say.

"How do I do that?" He asks and I roll my eyes.

I take the mouse from him and move my chair closer to the computer screen. This was easily achieved as I was sitting on the chair with the spinny wheels.

Our legs were completely touching and I was so glad there was a desk in the way so nobody could see.

I lean over his arms and reach for the keyboard.

"Like this, see?" I say and he nods.

"Ah okay, I will remember that if ever I feel the need to add a smiley face on the end of an email," He answers and I smirk.

"Ella, is there an answer as to why you're sitting in my chair?" He asks me, his eyes boring into mine.

"Because I prefer to be comfortable. As a teacher you should be trying to meet all of my needs, and one of those needs is that I require to be as comfortable as possible," I grin and he laughs.

"You are a character Miss Faye. Anyway, I have written comments on your work, so I want you to check these when you have no distractions okay?" He says and I nod, completely disregarding what he actually means.

"Ella, tell me you'll check it when you have no distractions. I want you to properly read my feedback so that you can achieve a higher level, okay?" He says, raising his eyebrow, and I catch on to what he means.

"I will definitely make time to read your comments when I'm alone and not distracted," I smile and he smiles back.

"Good, carry on with your work please," He smiles and I walk back to my seat.

"You were over there for like 20 minutes El," Blake whispers to me. "Way longer than anyone else," He gives me a worried look.

"You were over there an awful long time," Donte wiggles his eyebrows up and down.

Oh s**t it was obvious.

"I know, he was lecturing me about my work and achieving a higher level and s**t," I pretend to moan about it.

"I missed you for those 20 minutes you were gone babe, even though you were only like a foot away from me," Joe grins.

"I know baby it was so far away," I grin back and snuggle on his arm.

Maybe that will shut Donte up.

I need to read what Mattie has put in my work, I'm guessing its a note or something.

The bell rings and I collect my things and Joe grabs my hand.

"See you later class, Ella, don't forget to actually read my comments this time please," He says, pretending to moan at me and I nod.

"I wont forget," I smile as I leave the class.
