I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It by Caroline Above Story
Chapter 251

Lila’s POV

It’s been an hour and Rachel hasn’t left her room. I felt awful for upsetting her. She was right; I had no

right to question her like that. I’m not sure what came over me and I felt so ashamed. Becca was already

in bed sleeping and I could see the faint light under Rachel’s door, indicating that she was awake. I

knocked on her door lightly and I heard her faint voice saying, “Come in.” I took a deep breath before

opening the door and poking my head in. She was curled up on her bed and her eyes were red like

she’s been crying. It made my heart squeeze painfully in my chest; I had hurt her. “Hey…” I said softly.

When she didn’t say anything, I stepped into her room. “Rachel, I’m so sorry,” I breathed, shutting the

door behind me. “I was a total monster, and you didn’t deserve that. You were right; it wasn’t my

business. He’s your father and I don’t have a right to tell you what to do.” “He wants to have a better

relationship with me…” she murmured, lowering her gaze. “I want to give him a chance to redeem

himself.” “I understand that completely. I’m sorry I gave you the third degree…” “I know you don’t trust

Alpha Jonathan, but he’s not that bad, Lila. He saved my father’s business. Without him, my father

would have gone bankrupt. We owe him a lot for that,” she said, meeting my eyes. Suddenly, I was

getting a weird feeling. Alpha Jonathan always had an alternative motive when it came to things like

that. He’s a wealthy businessman and owns basically everything; what would he want with a small

restaurant that was on the verge of bankruptcy? I wanted to ask her, but I decided it was probably

better if I didn’t. So, I kept my mouth shut. “Can you please just give them a chance? For me?” I sighed,

not wanting to argue with her anymore. “Sure,” I said, forcing a small smile. “I will give them a chance,

for you.” She smiled widely at me and leaped to her feet, running toward me and wrapping her arms

around me. “Thank you, Lila,” she breathed. I hugged her back, but I couldn’t shake that nasty feeling

that was bubbling in the pit of my stomach.

….

The next day.

It was finally Saturday, which meant I had two days to prepare for my first real student committee

meeting of the year. I was beyond excited but also incredibly nervous. I learned a lot about these things

from my father. When I was young, I used to sit in on his Alpha meetings, so I knew how to speak in

front of small crowds and get my points across effectively. I just hoped enough students wanted to join

the committee. I was going to need a handful of students if I wanted this committee to be successful.

Rachel finally agreed to be a part of it; last year she wanted no part in it. But this year she wanted to

join. I also had Brody, Becca, and a couple of others who were a part of the committee last year. But so

far nobody else has asked to join, which made me nervous. “How about we create flyers?” Becca

suggested. We sat in the dining hall eating our breakfast and talking about the committee. Rachel

hadn’t joined us yet, but at the table sat Brody, Becca, and our new fairy friend, Kay. She had just told

me she wanted to join as well, so at least we were one person closer to having a full committee. I

wanted at least 10 members and so far, we had 7. “That’s a great idea,” I said, writing that down in the

notebook that sat beside my plate. Every Saturday the dining hall had a buffet for breakfast. It consisted

of every breakfast food imaginable. Most of the time I’m usually in the calypso pack by now, but Enzo

had a few things to do this morning, and I wanted to brainstorm some of Monday’s meeting with my

friends, so we decided not to return until later this afternoon. My father was still at the pack

interrogating Xander and searching for Jazzy with the warriors. My mother was still in the rogue village

keeping the shield in place while Hazel recovers in the hospital. It won’t be long now until she can

return to the village herself and my mother can return to the Nova pack. I’m sure she’s probably

exhausted and missing my father terribly. I looked at Kay who was nibbling on her fruit salad. “Did you

get your abilities back yet?” I asked. She frowned and glanced up at me; I could see sadness in her eyes

as she shook her head. “Not yet,” she murmured. “Has the board said anything to you about when we

could be expecting them back?” “I think they still need to figure out what caused them to disappear,” I

admitted. “Hopefully soon.” She sighed and nodded as she took another bite of the fruit. “I hope so…”

she said, sounding all sorts of defeated. “Has anyone seen Rachel?” Becca asked. “She was gone before

we woke up this morning, which is very unlike her.” It’s true that Rachel is usually the last of us to wake

up on weekends. It was strange that she was already awake and gone this morning. “I haven’t seen her

at all since yesterday,” Brody answered. Becca looked at him and then narrowed her eyes like she was

just remembering something. “So… you and Sarah, huh?” She then asked, making me nearly choke on

the bacon I just put in my mouth. Brody froze and looked at her; I could see the redness intensifying

around his face. “Why did you tell me you were mates?” Becca proceeded to ask. “I didn’t tell anyone

besides Lila,” he admitted. “I guess it was because I was still trying to figure out my feelings.” “What’s to

figure out? You are mates. Your wolf will automatically love her regardless of who she is,” Becca

shrugged as she took a bite of her eggs. “How did you hide this from her?” He was quiet for a moment,

and I watched as he put down his fork; I found myself holding my breath, waiting for him to respond. “I

hid my scent from her…” he admitted, making Becca raise her brows at him. “What?” She asked. “How?”

“Ohhhh! That’s why your scent and aura are strange,” Kay said, staring at him with wide eyes. “You’re a

witch.” “Wait, what?!” Becca gasped. “You are?? Since when?” “I’m half witch,” Brody answered. “It’s from

my mother’s side. I used magic to hide my scent from her since I found out she was my mate over the

summer. But when everyone’s powers went away during the election…” “Yours did too…” Becca finished

for him; realization dawned on her. “She sensed you at that moment.” She didn’t phrase it as a question,

but he still nodded as an answer anyway. “Did you get a chance to talk to her?” I asked, peering up at

him. He was quiet for another moment like he was trying to figure out how to answer that question.

“Not exactly,” he murmured. “Not exactly?” I asked, raising my brows. Becca and I exchanged looks

before fixing our eyes back on him. “What do you mean by that?” Becca asked. “I tried to talk to her. I

went to her dorm. But she didn’t want anything to do with me and slammed the door on my face. So, I

guess I got my answer,” he shrugged, taking a big bite of his bacon. I stared at him with my mouth

hanging open. I couldn’t believe she wouldn’t even give her actual fated mate the time of day and that

she had the actual nerve to shut the door in his face. I was suddenly angry at that fact but then there

was a part of me that wondered if she had a reason behind that. “It doesn’t really matter anymore; it’s

over,” he murmured as if he was reading my thoughts. I shook my head at him, still in disbelief. “Did you

reject her?” I asked. He looked at me. “No, of course not,” he answered. “And did she reject you?” Becca

asked, folding her arms across her chest. “No…” he answered, glancing down at his plate. “Then, it’s not

over,” I said, shaking my head. “Don’t give up so easily, Brody.” He nodded and continued to eat his

food. Later, I went to my dorm to try and replace Rachel, but she wasn’t there. I sighed and went into my

room to grab my phone to see if maybe she left me any messages but there weren’t any messages

either. I wasn’t sure why I’d been so worried about her lately; I just had a weird feeling in the pit of my

stomach. Soon, the door of the dorm was bursting open, scaring me. I ran into the living room to see

Becca and Brody gasping for breath as they ran into the room. “You have to hurry! There’s a fight on the

school greens,” Becca said with a large amount of fear and worry in her eyes. I didn’t have time to think,

I ran past them as fast as I could. I ran through the dorm building until I reached outside. There weren’t

many students on campus; most return home during the weekend or go out around now. I wondered

who would be stupid enough to fight on school grounds like this and where was the board? The school

greens were in the center of the campus. It was just a huge grassy area that students had picnics on,

played outdoor sports, or just hung out on. Basically, it was the campus field. Becca and Brody trailed

after me as I ran across the campus and neared the campus. I didn’t stop until I saw a tall figure

standing in the center of the green field and then my entire body froze when I realized there wasn’t a

fight at all. It was Enzo. “Whaaa?” I began to ask but Brody and Becca stopped beside me, laughing.

“Surprise!” They both said at the same time, pointing to Enzo who stood before me with a wide grin,

and then he pulled out a large bouquet of flowers.
