Chapter 50

**Logan**

God I wanted her and the only reason I pulled away is that she would be able to tell within seconds.

I look at her to see her now staring into space. What the hell am I thinking? Why can't I get it into my head that she's my student and everything I have done since becoming her teacher has been wrong on many levels? And why am I falling for this girl so much? I haven't felt like this for a girl ever- correction since Stephanie. What I'm doing is horrible to her and Megan. What will I do if the hospital finally accepts my offer and Stephanie lives? What would happen to Megan? I can't do that, she deserves better. If she feels the same for me as I do for her, I will break her heart.

I sigh and run my hand through my now wet hair. I then feel her move my arm from around her shoulders and suddenly put distance between us both. I give her a confused look. Had I scared her? I hope not I wouldn't

be able to do with her looking at me the way she looked at me last time.

"Hey," she says, walking in front of me. I frown, then I see Melanie, Yasmin and Julie walking towards us. I frown again and look behind me. How the hell did they get so far in front of us? I'm sure they were still at the...my train of thought cuts off and takes a different direction. Oh god they saw us. As if I forgot about them ‘you twat Logan what you going to do now this is what you get for thinking with mini-me see you're now fucked.’

"Hey, Mr Peters," Julie says with a small wave and grin. I gulp and mumble a faint hello and then look down. Then, a taxi stops in front of them. The back passenger door opens, and Carl's head pops up.

"Where the fuck have you been?" he asks. I sigh, this is great, he is half cut. Then the opposite door opens.

"Ohhh, thank god, I’m not out for a foursome," Scott says "we'll get a taxi with Logan, you go off with your lady friend," he says looking at Carl. Then James climbs out and let out a small grunt. "He's pissed James off."

"Logan, sleep at James's tonight, okay?," Carl calls at me. I sigh and nod. He smirks and climbs back into the cab. You would never believe he is a substitute teacher.

"Sup Megan," James says, turning to her. She smiles slightly and look down "you look fucking hot," he suddenly says.

"No way," Scott says, and then looks at me. I quickly shake my head, and he frowns at me and then turns back to James. C'mon, we should get a cab." He hails a cab, and it pulls up in front of us.

"Let them get it," I say nodding towards the four girls

"Who's the redhead?" Scott asks. I sigh and look at him.

"Seriously you're doing this now?" I ask. Scott likes redheads, always has.

"What she's good-looking,"

"She's the same age as Megan,"

"Damn," he cursed "I can't tell nowadays," he mutters.

"Yeah that's because all the girls are taller than you nowadays," his jaw drops then he notices Julie.

"She's not," he says raising an eyebrow

"Trust me she is too much for you,"

"How do you know? Are you doing all your students?" he asks. I frown at him and stand up straight, taking a step forward. "OK, OK, I'm sorry, please don't hurt me," he fakes a plea. I smirk and turn to the girls.

"Julie's 18, by the way," I whisper, then look at them. "You can have this cab," I say. They smile.

"Thank god," Yasmin says practically running to the cab door "I'm freaking freezing" she says rubbing her arms. Scott looks her up and down and she seems to notice as she pulls this look of disgust "C'mon," she calls to the others “I'm getting perved on," she groans. I chuckle and Scott moves away from her.

"I'm only seeing if you are taller than me," he states.

"Yeah, and I am," she says.

"Don't mind her," Julie says, putting her hands on Yasmin's arms. “She gets grumpy when she's cold," Julie says with a slight smirk and pushes Yasmin into the cab. She looks at me and smiles. "Bye, Mr Peters," she says, still with that creepy, know-it-all smile.

"Cya Julie," I say with a nod of my head, keeping my hands in my pockets. She then scans my body with her eyes, raises her eyebrow slightly, and smiles.

"Your shirt is undone," she points out. I gulp slightly. Who notices that? "It wasn't undone before," she says, tilting her head. Ok this girl officially scares me. My eyes slowly move to Megan and Melanie to see Melanie chuckle and walk over to her and push her in.

"Get in the cab, Julie." Then she turns, "Night," she says, and climbs in. I can hear Megan chuckling at her slightly as she walks to the car.

"Night Logan," she says, standing at the car door smiling at me.

"Night," I say, moving forward a little. She bites her bottom lip and looks me in the eyes. I put my hand on the car door and I feel myself getting hot. God she looks good doing that.

"Okay, the sexual tension is nearly turning me on," Scott says. "Night, Megan," he says. Megan just laughs and climbs into the cab, and I shut the door. After several seconds, the cab drove off. "Earth to Logan," Scott says, waving his hand in front of my face. I frown and look at him. He chuckles. "You have it bad," he says and hails another cab.

"Logan," James says, catching my attention. I turn to look at him "wasn't that your jacket she is wearing," I frown slightly then sigh.

"Shit yeah," I say. He chuckles and Scott rolls his eyes at me.

"C'mon Romeo", he says walking to the cab that has pulled up a few feet from us.
