straight away. I looked at the time and saw that it was only just after four-thirty; I’d told him not to contact me before ‘five or six’. I picked myself up from the floor, gathered my bag and art folder and carried them upstairs. I needed to keep busy for thirty minutes. I stowed my art folder in its proper place, tucked down beside my desk, pulled my books and notes out from my bag, placing them neatly on my bookshelf and desk ready to look at later on. I straightened my bed even though I’d already done that in the morning; then headed into the bathroom just for something to pass the time.
    I picked up my toothbrush and the toothpaste and looked up into the large mirror over my sink and took in my reflection. My straight hair was slightly dishevelled despite me having tried to flatten it with my fingers before leaving the classroom , my cheeks were flushed a rosy pink, my lips looked slightly darker and I ran my fingertips over them again wishing Jamie had his pressed to them once more. My eyes were bright and wide, filed with excitement and lust. My heart was still pounding out of my chest; I had to remind myself several times to breathe normally.
    I began brushing my teeth , smiling to myself remembering how Jamie’s tongue had danced around mine; so soft and delicately but with enough force to let me know how much he wanted it. I pressed my legs together, closed my eyes and tried to calm myself. I grabbed my face wash from the shelf, hoping some cold water would calm me a little, but even that wasn’t helping. I ran downstairs to look for something else to do to pass the time; I decided making a sandwich would pass by a few minutes and then eating it of course.
    My laptop was in the living room so I went to sit down and began watching an episode of my favourite show with a cup of tea. I tried to cloud my thoughts with only those of the show but it wasn’t happening, my eyes kept wandering to the clock every few seconds. I still had fifteen minutes before five o’clock; the waiting was killing me. I sighed loudly and really tried to focus on the show. It was five minutes to five and I picked my phone up for probably the hundredth time in the last few minutes and wrote a pretty cheeky message to Jamie.
    To Jamie: If I knew detentions went something like that , I would probably have told you that you are an arse sooner! - O X
    My heart was in my chest again while I waited to see if he would reply; I placed my phone down on the coffee table and leaned forward resting my elbows on my knees so I could stare at it. What if he doesn ’t reply for hours? What if he doesn’t reply at all and he was just messing with me. Oh God, I’m such an idiot. My phone bleeped and the screen lit up with his name, making me jump.
    From Jamie: Well Miss Stevens , if I knew detention was like that with you, I would have started handing them out to you sooner! If you called me an arse or not - J X
    To Jamie: Should I be a bad girl more often then? - O X
    I laughed to myself imagining the ways I could be his naughty schoolgirl.
    From Jamie: Only for me!! I don’t want to be hearing about you landing yourself in detention with any other teachers, I might start getting jealous. I’m already annoyed with Lily for making us need to stop. I really wish that we didn’t have to.
    To Jamie: I nearly got detention in English yesterday for daydreaming (about you!) but don ’t worry, I bet Mrs Hastings is nowhere near as good a kisser as you are! X I didn’t want to stop either. I think stopping was the hardest thing I’ve ever done! X
    Why did I say that? I scrunched my eyes tight and shook my head. Idiot!
    From Jamie: Daydreaming about me? Intrigued! I imagine not, but I’m not up for finding out if I’m honest. You feel free though. Hey, I was wondering… Would you let me take you out one night? X
    OH MY GOD! Had he just asked me out on a date? I jumped up from the sofa and squealed , thanking my stars that no one was home; I could
