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

Lila’s POV

“Lila, come to my office as well; I’d like to speak with you and Sarah together,” Headmaster Prescott said

to me, trying to be heard over the crowd of frantic students. Those affected by Sarah’s mind

manipulation were freaking out because of the time they had lost and their free will being taken. The

witches and those with abilities were frantic because they were powerless. Everybody was powerless. My

heart began to beat rapidly in my chest as I looked up at the headmaster. She didn’t think I had

anything to do with this, did she? “Am I in trouble?” I asked; I couldn’t hide the nervousness from my

tone. “No, of course not. But I’d like you to be there so I can get the full picture of this situation,” she

simply said. I met Enzo’s eyes from across the room; he was now standing and watching me with worry

in his eyes. I gave him a small smile to assure him that everything was okay and thankfully, he returned

it. “Enzo,” Headmaster Prescott said as she approached him. “Get everybody to settle down. They can

still vote to keep their minds off the situation… not that it’ll matter much anymore. But then I’d like

them to return to their dorms for the rest of the afternoon. I’m canceling evening classes. But I’ll make

an announcement, once I’m done speaking with the girls.” He nodded. “I’ll have some of the staff help

me get everything organized,” he assured me. She nodded at him, pleased by his quick response. “My

powers!” I heard someone sobbing. “My powers are gone!!!” “What happened to me!” I heard someone

else shouting. “Why did I do these mean things to people??” “Why can’t I remember anything from the

last two days!” A boy asked as I passed him. I wanted to say something to him that reassured him, but I

wasn’t sure what could make things better. My heart was squeezing painfully in my chest for them.

Headmaster Prescott was already gone and I knew I couldn’t keep her waiting any longer. Enzo was

already getting to work with the other professors to get the students to settle down. The board

members were lining students up to vote in the back room and ordering the really frantic ones back to

their dorms. I shook my head at the sight and turned away; I couldn’t watch anymore of this. When I got

to her office, I was surprised to see that Alpha Jonathan was already there. I didn’t even see him leaving

the auditorium. He was looking anything but happy. Sarah sat in the seat in front of the office door

while he towered over her. Her gaze was fixed on the ground, and it looked like he had just finished

yelling at her. The secretary who sat at the desk in the corner of the room looked pale-faced and wideeyed, confirming my suspicions. Tiffany Prescott cleared her throat, getting their attention. “Come into

my office,” she ordered them without giving them a second look as she opened her office door. Alpha

Jonathan’s gaze found mine. “What is she doing here?” He asked the headmaster as if I wasn’t standing

right there. I felt my face warming. “I asked her to join us,” she answers. “For what reason?” “I have my

reasons and I’ll explain once you are inside my office, Alpha,” she said firmly. I was surprised by how

assertive she sounded knowing that Alpha Jonathan owned this school. He didn’t argue with her, much

to my surprise. He turned away from me and stormed into the office. I glanced at Sarah who also

looked up at me; I couldn’t read her expression, but she looked pale. She visibly swallowed and stood to

her feet. She didn’t say anything to me as she turned and went into the office. I followed closely after

them. Headmaster Prescott had pulled up an extra chair and sat it in front of her desk before taking her

seat behind her desk. “Please sit,” she instructed all of us. We did as she said, only Alpha Jonathan

hesitated slightly before sitting beside his daughter who still appeared pale in the face. I’m not sure if

that was because she was sick, or because she was terrified. “I need a full explanation of what happened

today,” she said, staring directly at Sarah. She was surprised by the remark and glanced at her father

who let a growl emerge from his throat. “Do I need to call my lawyer, Headmaster?” He asked through

his teeth. She looked at him with a frown. “That won’t be necessary, Alpha,” she assured him. “I just

want to get to the bottom of things. The students are very distraught and they seem to believe that

your daughter has done something to them. I would like to know exactly what happened.” “I’ll tell you

what happened—” he began to growl, but Headmaster Prescott held up her hand, stopping his words.

“If you don’t mind, Alpha. I’d like to hear it from Sarah,” she said calmly. “I’m sure you can understand.”

He went to open his mouth again, but this time, Sarah was the one who spoke. “I’m so sorry…” she

croaked and when I looked at her, she had tears pouring out of her eyes. “It’s my fault.” “How about you

start by telling me exactly what happened, Sarah,” Headmaster Prescott said, giving her a look of

remorse, and yet compassion. Sarah swallowed hard and kept her eyes fixed on her fingers which she

was tugging nervously. “Sarah…” Alpha Jonathan spoke her name like a warning as he clenched his jaw.

“I can’t keep lying, Father. I could get in even more trouble,” she said softly, glancing up at him through

her tear-filled eyes. “I own this school; nothing is going to happen to you,” he assured her, but his tone

was anything but reassuring. It was hard and sent a chill down my spine. “I just can’t anymore, Father…”

she said in a broken whisper, turning her attention to Headmaster Prescott. “They were telling the truth.

I did do this,” she finally said as more tears fell from her eyes. “I have the ability to manipulate minds

and I told them they needed to vote for me. During their campaigning, I kept erasing their memories

for different reasons, so they lost a lot of time. I had them do things for me as well…” I held my breath

while Headmaster Prescott stared at her, unmoving. “This is a very situation, Sarah. You do realize that,

don’t you?” Headmaster Prescott said finally after a long silence. “She doesn’t know what she’s saying,

my daughter is unwell. Can’t you see how pale and thin she is,” Alpha Jonathan stated, not even looking

at Sarah who had looked up at him with shock. “Enough, Father,” she said with wide eyes and surprised

assertiveness in her tone. “I’m done lying and I’m done cheating. I won’t do it anymore. She needs to

know the truth.” “You will be silent,” her father said through gritted teeth. Headmaster Prescott sighed

and turned to me. “Lila, do you have anything you’d like to say?” She asked, eyeing me carefully. I felt

my cheeks flaring with heat. “Me?” I asked, lamely. She nodded and kept her eyes locked on mine. “Yes,”

she answered. “You are her opponent, and this affects you just as well as it affects all the other students.

I asked you here so you can share your thoughts as well.” “Oh…” I breathed, staring down at my hands.

“I guess I’m still in shock. I had a feeling Sarah had special abilities, but I really didn’t know she was

manipulating everyone to vote for her like that. I didn’t know they were all under her spell for this long.

Makes me wonder what else she had done.” I didn’t say it out loud, but Scott came to mind. He was

saying that Sarah was the one who put him up to vandalize the art exhibit. Because of that, he was sent

to jail and had to stay there for months until the official trial. The trial was delayed because Cassidy-Ann

was in Monstro and plus, she wanted him to rot there and think about what he had done. Then, his

family was forced to pay for the repairs of the exhibit along with pain and suffering. He almost got

expelled from the school, but they decided that he suffered enough and decided to give him one more

chance like they gave Sarah last year. Besides, it’s not like the exhibit had anything to do with the

school. But he isn’t a student and student behavior represents the school. Scott faced a lot over these

months; people are still looking at him strangely. He was kicked off the football team and lost most of

his friends. Sarah dumped him as well, so he lost his girlfriend too. Since he returned to the school this

semester, he’s mainly been keeping to himself. I see him occasionally in the halls, but not much. He

never talks to me, not since his warnings against Sarah and her abilities. My heart squeezed painfully in

my chest at the thought that Sarah could have actually used her abilities and forced him to vandalize

the exhibit, ruining his entire life. “Well, Sarah… considering who your father is, it’s not like I can expel

you,” Headmaster Prescott murmured, peering up at Alpha Jonathan who huffed through his nose like a

bull. “But even the owner of this school must know that there are consequences to such actions like

this.” “Do what you must, Headmaster,” he said through his teeth. She cleared her throat and looked

back at Sarah. “You are banned from any extra curriculums and school activities. You are hereby

grounded for the next 4 months. This means you will not be allowed anywhere on campus besides your

classes, the library, the dining hall, and your dorm. I’ll appoint a guard to standby to make sure you stay

in those specific areas.” “That’s a prison!” Alpha Jonathan protested loudly, shaking the entire room.

“That’s punishment for her actions,” Headmaster Prescott Surprised me by shooting back. “I’m sure the

Alpha Committee would love to hear that you stood in the way of my job, Alpha. Isn’t Lila’s father in

charge of that committee?” He swallowed hard and glared at me; suddenly it dawned on me as to why

she truly asked me to be here, and I felt my face warming once again. The headmaster looked back at

Sarah. “Or, option B is expulsion,” she said simply, pressing her lips together. “I’ll take option A,” Sarah

said quickly, bowing her head in respect. “Thank you.” Alpha Jonathan let out a low and threatening

growl, which Headmaster Prescott managed to ignore while she glanced at me. Her gaze softened and

she even gave me a small smile. “Congratulations, Lila. By default, you are now the President of the

Student Committee.”
