Jane woke up abruptly, sprinting to the bathroom. With a sudden urge, she vomited. Her face turned pale as she gasped for air. After a moment, she felt a bit better but still dizzy.

After a brief moment, although an improvement was felt, dizziness lingered. Jane settled on the floor, attempting to steady her breathing. Summoning her resolve, she rose, proceeding to prepare for the day ahead before heading for breakfast. The persistent morning sickness persisted, often leading to unwitting daytime slumbers.

She made up her mind to give the university a ring, hoping to arrange online exams due to her absence from town. Fingers crossed they'd grant her the opportunity to take them remotely.

After much persistence and after taking a lot of considerations due to the case she explained, they finally relented and promised to consult with the teachers to explore options, assuring her of a definitive response later in the afternoon.

"I hate this."

Mr. Peter got out of his office, in search for a very specific person. He had to be closer to her. He had to get information from her. Even though he hated her personality a lot, and found her annoying. He knew well, she was attracted to him, well to Mr. Peter, and he was playing his role, and he should take full advantage of it.

Mr. Peter emerged from his dimly  office, his eyes fixed on a singular target. Determination etched on his face, he knew he needed to draw closer to her, to extract valuable information. Despite his disdain for her personality and the annoyance she caused him, he recognized the power he held over her, and the attraction she had towards him. He played the role she expected, fully aware of the advantage it granted him.

As they entered the room, a subtle tension hung in the air. Mr. Peter gestured for Angelina to take a seat, his movements deliberate and calculated. Slowly, he closed the distance between them, a magnetic pull drawing him nearer to her.

"Is something wrong?" Angelina's voice quivered slightly, a hint of worry creeping into her words, fearing the thought that she messed up with some biology work.

"What are you doing to me?" Mr. Peter's eyes bore into hers, a mix of intensity and restraint flickering in their depths.

Perplexed, Angelina's confusion mounted, her gaze searching for answers, her mind a whirlwind of uncertainty. And then, in a daring move that shattered the silence, Mr. Peter closed the gap between them in a swift motion, his lips meeting hers. At first taken aback, Angelina's initial shock melted away, replaced by a surge of raw emotion that ignited within her. In that moment, amidst the chaos of conflicting feelings,
she surrendered to the intoxicating allure of the forbidden embrace, losing herself in the heat of the forbidden kiss.

As Mr. Peter's phone rang unexpectedly, his expression shifted to a mix of surprise and irritation. He distanced himself from Angelina, who was still visibly perplexed by the sudden turn of events.

Answering the call with a hint of exasperation, Mr. Peter said, "Yes, principal?"

The principal's voice sounded stern on the other end of the line, "I need you in my office promptly, there's an urgent matter concerning one of your students."

Mr. Peter, now wearing a pensive look, managed a reassuring smile towards Angelina, softly stating, "I'll catch up with you later," before heading off to the principal's office.

As Mr. Peter entered the principal's office, the principal welcomed him with a nod, signaling for him to take a seat.

"In regards to one of your absent students," the principal began, only to be interrupted by Mr. Peter.

"Jane?" Mr. Peter interjected, showing his concern for the student.

"Yes, Jane. She's facing some challenges and had to relocate to the neighboring town. Unfortunately, she can't physically attend, so we need to facilitate her exams online. Please create a separate exam for her and send it via email," the principal explained.

"Understood, I'll get it done," Mr. Peter affirmed.

"Thank you," the principal acknowledged. Just as Mr. Peter was about to leave, he added a final thought.

As Mr. Peter shared his news with the principal, the atmosphere in the office shifted to a more personal tone.

"And just to inform you, I'll be away for a few days. I've wrapped up my semester's duties, but Miss Cynthia, the math teacher, still requires more time, so please assign my classes to her," Mr. Peter declared.

Concerned, the principal inquired, "Is everything alright?"

With a somber expression, Mr. Peter replied, "My mom isn't feeling well, so I need to be there for her."

Showing empathy, the principal remarked, "That's very kind of you. Don't worry, I'll inform Miss Cynthia, and she'll cover your classes." The principal's smile conveyed understanding and support as Mr. Peter left the office.

He took his phone maliciously and texted,

"We found her!"
