I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It novel Chapter 248

Ella’s POV

“Ella! Are you okay? What happened?” Becca asked as she caught up with me.

I was walking toward the student lounge after I left Headmaster Prescott’s office and my head was still whirling from all the information that was just given to me.

I looked at Becca who stared back at me with concern in her eyes.

I went to open my mouth to answer but then the crackling of the campus speakers stopped me.

“Good afternoon, students. This is Headmaster Tiffany Prescott. I know you are all wound up after the events that unfolded earlier today, and I wanted to personally apologize to each of you for not realizing something was going on and putting an end to it right away. Going forward we are going to be putting in some extra security to ensure that nothing like this happens again. The school counselor is also opening her doors to any students for the next couple of weeks so you can see her without an appointment. My doors, along with my fellow board members’ doors, will also be open to anyone needing some extra guidance in these unforeseen weeks. I assure you that the issue at hand has been dealt with and nothing like this will ever happen again. I’d like to remind students that using their abilities on one another is forbidden and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. If you or anyone you know is in fact using their abilities on their peers, I advise that you come forward. We will be looking into all students with abilities and if we find you are using your abilities dishonorably, we will be forced to take measures. I know it’s been a long day for many of you so I’m canceling classes for the rest of the day and I suggest each of you get some rest to recoup. Dinner will be served per usual in the dining hall at 5 pm.”

She paused for a moment; only allowing the light buzzing of the speaker to roam around the campus ground. Becca and I stood, staring up at the sky as if Headmaster Prescott’s face was there.

“Also, let me be the first to congratulate Ella for winning the election and becoming the first-ever President of the Student Committee. First thing Monday morning Ella will begin her duties and her first meeting with be held Monday at 2 pm. If anyone wants to join the committee, please see Ella. With that being said if anyone has any questions or concerns, please speak with your assigned advisors, or speak with me directly. Thank you and have a very blessed day.”

The speakers cut out and the entire campus was completely silent. I couldn’t even hear anyone breathing.

After what felt like an eternity, everybody erupted into cheers and applause. Becca was the first to hug me tightly with a large smile spread across her face.

“Congratulations Ella!!” She cooed excitedly. “I’m so happy for you!!!”

Others who were passing by also stopped to give me quick hugs and congratulate me. I smiled at them and hugged them back, pretending to be as excited as I could be. Don’t get me wrong, I was very pleased to be in charge of the student committee. It was exactly what I wanted, but I didn’t like how it happened.

I only won by default because Sarah cheated and got disqualified. I also couldn’t seem to get Scott out of my head and all that he’s been going through these last few months because of Sarah.

Then, another thought popped into my head and my heart fell directly into my stomach as I quickly turned to Becca who was chatting with a few other students about how excited they were for me.

“Where’s Brody?” I asked her.

She frowned at me and glanced at the student lounge.

“He said he was going to sit in there until your meeting was over,” she said.

I didn’t say anything more, I turned away and ran right into the student lounge where I was met with a crowd of students who were all cheering for me. I smiled at them, trying ot get past them, but they wouldn’t let me go any further without hugs and praises.

As much as I appreciated it, I really needed to see Brody.

Thankfully, he appeared amongst the crowd and though I could see the worry and sadness lingering in his eyes, he met me with a large grin and opened his arms out for me to walk into.

“I’m so happy for you,” he said as he tightened his hold on me.

“Thank you,” I said, peering up at him. “Are you okay?”

He didn’t answer me, but he gave me a sad smile.

“Can we talk somewhere?” I then asked.

He nodded and pulled me through the crowd of students who finally broke apart to return to whatever they were doing. We sat at our usual table in the back of the student lounge, and he slumped down in his seat, looking all sorts of worn out.

“Sarah got into a lot of trouble,” I finally said after a long silence.

He nodded, not looking at me.

“I figured,” he murmured.

“She didn’t get expelled though,” I said. “But she is kind of grounded. She can’t go anywhere other than the dining hall, her classes, and the library. Oh, and her dorm.”

He met my eyes.

“So, she didn’t get kicked out?”
