At 6am the alarm goes off Joan wakes up to shut it, she throws her pillow at it
then she pours water over it but nothing works until she picks it up and throws
it against the wall.
JOAN'S POV
Today's my first day at Robert Burn's boarding school. I recently took a
teaching position for the Drama department and I think I'm going to like my
time here. I mean what's not to like when you get to teach in an all girl high
school. Seriously Joan is that all you can think about! What I mean is I never
taught in this kind of place before were there're only girls. Good save Joan
next time watch your mouth. She quickly buttoned her blouse, circle it with her
black tie and slid a pencil skirt up her toned legs she paired it with a black
belt and black leather pumps. Alright
everything looks perfect , I better not fuck up today. My dad always told me I
was a disappointment , that I fuck everything up that I'm useless , pointless,
nothing. What was that phrase he repeated constantly to me...Ah yes! That
emotions lead to mistakes.
END OF JOAN'S POV
The whole drive to the school was quite , Joan didn't even bother turning the
radio on when she arrived she parked her car near a tree she took her cup of
coffee and entered the school , she headed straight to the teacher's lounge
that was still open. "Dring" everyone was heading to their classes as Joan was
finishing her coffee. She stood up , gathered her things and went in to the
hallway looking for her class. She was so concentrated doing so, she didn't
even bother watching where she was going when she bumped in to a small girl who
caused her to collapse on top of her.
JOAN'S POV
A blue-eyed brunette came at me before I knew it I was laying on the floor and
when I looked up the brunette was laying on top of me when our eyes met she
blushed and quickly got up. She then offered me her hand saying “I'm sorry I
wasn't looking where I was going” I took her hand and told her that it was my
fault and that I should be more careful next time. “I'm Joan Ferguson the new
drama teacher” I said, I watched her as she shyly putted her hair behind her
ears. “What is your name?” She looked up at me and said “My name, na...me is
Vera” At that moment her beautiful blue eyes drew me in and I got lost in them.
“Your eyes are so beautiful” I thought out loud. She blushed and smiled at me.
Gosh she is so beautiful I thought. We finally found the room, during the whole
class she sat silent in the back.
During dinner, we bumped in to each other again this time without falling to
the floor. I then noticed that her tie was undone, I offered to do it for her
and she accepted before leaving the cafeteria we assigned each girl a room
number and the dormitory. I was surprised to find out that Vera was in Dorm C.
***** A very clumsy girl *****
Chapter Summary
     Now that you know about Joan's first day, here's how the same day
     went for Vera.
VERA'S POV
My alarm didn't go off this morning, I didn't have much time to get ready as I
was already late for school. Luckily I had already placed my uniform on top of
my chair the night before, our uniform consists of a very short skirt, a
blouse, black laced boots and a black tie. I always found myself struggling
with the tie and the laces on my boots but this morning I didn't have time for
any of that.
I was turning the corridor when I stepped on my own shoe laces. At the same
time a tall woman was walking towards me, I tripped and fell on top of her.
When I opened my eyes the woman was already looking at me I blushed out of
embarrassment and got up I then offered her a hand which she gracefully took.
She told me her name was Joan Ferguson and that she is the new drama teacher
when she asked for my name I stammered she then accidentally made a comment out
loud about my eyes to which I smiled.
I thanked her and we headed towards the classroom. When we arrived to class I
took a seat in the back to avoid her gaze as I was still blushing from the
moments before. The whole class, I couldn't stop thinking about her as she
introduced us to different types of theatre.
During dinner, I bumped in to her again almost dropping my whole tray at her
luckily she caught me and my tray before it happened. She then eyed my undone
tie and offered to do it for me to which I happily said “yes”, I could feel her
hands shaking as she was doing it. Was she nervous around me ? I thought.
After dinner, Miss Ferguson and the other teachers assigned each one of us to a
dormitory. To my surprise I was assigned to Dorm C with Miss Ferguson who I
happen to like already.
***** Dorm C *****
Chapter Summary
     The following events happened on the same day as the first two
     chapters. After receiving her key Vera heads towards her new sleeping
     quarter.
Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
The boarding school had three large buildings, Dorm A, Dorm B and Dorm C. The
first two dorms were closer to main building as they were for freshman and
sophomore. The last dorm however was few blocks away, a forest separated it
from the other dorms.
VERA'S POV
I finally managed to carry all my stuff to my new room with the help of my
roommates Franky and Boomer we then all sat on my bed. I met Franky two years
ago back when I was a freshman, she was the girl that everyone worshiped out of
fear. I mean I can't blame them, one look at her and you shit your pants.
Franky had stunning blue eyes, dimples, countless tattoos and a very bad
temper. I don't know how we became best friends as she was the complete
opposite of me I even had a crush on her back then. She was the school's
biggest bully, she bullied almost every girl until she meet my sister Bridget
who became her best friend, she was the school's psychologist. Bridget was the
kindest adult, she was the most likable person at this school, she always took
care of everyone if someone needed to talk they would go to my sister Bridget.
-END OF VERA'S POV
At that time Franky was dating Kim a hot Asian who dealt drugs, the two of them
were inseparable until Kim graduated, she was older than Franky, they met when
Franky was only a freshman and Kim was already a junior. Their breakup caused
Franky to get violent, the principal immediately referred her, to a
psychologist. Her first visits were like games to her, shortly after they
became best friends which Vera knew about. But what she wasn't aware of was
that Bridget came out to Franky and later admitted her feelings towards her,
that they dated for two years until they were caught by students having sex in
Bridget's office. However, the principal considered this only being a rumor and
Bridget broke things off with Franky to avoid further incidents.
JOAN'S POV
As I head towards my car, I can't stop thinking about that blue-eyed cupcake.
Really Joan “Cupcake” couldn't find a better pet name. I unloaded my trunk and
placed my two suitcases on the ground, pulled the handle out of each one and
rolled them towards my dorm.
VERA'S POV
Franky is now gone, god knows where and Boomer is hanging out with Bea in
Maxine's room. I pulled out my phone from my bag, only to be bombarded by over
twenty messages from my mom! My mom is very protective of me that sometimes it
kills me, I turned my phone off and opened my favorite book “Carol” I was
halfway through the first page when I heard a knock at the door. I wasn't
expecting anyone... I opened it to find Miss Ferguson standing there in her
night gown, her nipples were peeping through it, which made me bit my lip. She
looked so gorgeous, with her loose wavy hair. I snapped out of my day dream,
realizing she was still standing in the doorway. I shyly cleared my throat,
apologized and gestured her to come in.
JOAN'S POV
I stood in the doorway, fully aware of Vera checking me out, she was such a shy
girl yet so indiscreet possibly even dirty minded, who knows. She gestured me
to come in, I refused. “Forgive me for coming announced like that, I just
wanted to wish you a good night” I said.
VERA'S POV
I didn't expect that at all, how nice was she, to have come all this way just
to wish me a good night. “Thank you Miss Ferguson, have...a...good...night as
well” I stammered. “You can call me Joan when we're alone” she said. “Alright
Joan...eh... I will see you tomorrow...tomorrow” I closed the door. Boomer and
Franky came back shortly after she left, Boomer looked tired as she went to
take a shower. Franky however looked like she had been sweating allot, her lips
had a different color. “What?” she said “Nothing you look tired” to which she
replied “No shit Sherlock”. We were now all laying in our beds, Boomer and
Franky had already fallen asleep, I couldn't fall asleep as I was thinking
about Miss Ferguson I mean Joan, “she told me to call her that when we are
alone” I mumbled to myself proudly before falling asleep.
JOAN'S POV
I lay in bed thinking about how stupid I looked standing at her doorstep but
that's not the worst part, No! The worst thing was the excuse I gave her, the
one I made up just so I can see my beautiful Vera, but I don't regret any of
it. I can't wait for tomorrow, precisely for second period, so I can see this
angel...my angel...my Vera.
Chapter End Notes
     Thank you! New updates every Monday stay tuned!
***** Second Period *****
Chapter Summary
     Vera is very excited for her second period...to go to drama
     class...her favourite class taught by her favourite teacher.
VERA'S POV
My alarm didn't go off this morning, I was once again late for school, thank
god I took the habit of placing my uniform on my chair the night before. I
quickly took a shower, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, putted on my uniform
and this time I tied my shoes. I then grabbed my bag and quickly ran towards
the main building. Breakfast by now was finished as I had missed it, I had
science in my first period I could hear my stomach rumbling as I headed towards
the classroom.
My second class was Drama, finally I couldn't wait to see Joan. “Now class I
want you all to make a circle” We all stood in a circle introducing ourselves,
I was going to be next, suddenly I felt like I was going to faint. The next
thing I knew I was on the floor.
I woke up to find myself in a different room, as I started to explore the room
with my eyes I heard someone rushing towards me. “Careful dear” I would
recognize that voice anywhere, here she was putting a wet towel on my head. She
then sat on the chair beside the bed and started reading a book. I couldn't
believe it I was in Joan's room, she must've brought me here when I fainted,
before I knew it, I fell asleep.
JOAN POV
I quickly rushed to Vera's side to pick her up, I then yelled “Class
dismissed”. I brought her to my room as the school nurse wasn't available. Now
here she is in my room, laying in my bed, looking like an angel with her blue
eyes and wavy brown hair. I sat on the chair beside the bed admiring her
beauty, a few moments later I opened up a book and began reading it.
VERA'S POV
When I woke up, Joan was reading her book, she then quickly putted it away and
offered to help me get up. She slid her long arms around my waist, I loved
feeling her strong hands wrapped around me. Suddenly she cupped my face and
pulled me closer to her. My heart started racing, I started trembling. It took
me all the courage I had to make the next move. I grabbed her tie and pulled
her towards me. The next thing I knew our faces were inches apart, usually I
would look down and avoid eye contact, but something about her made me look.
She then gently pressed her lips against mine. The kiss was sweet I loved the
taste of her lips. A knock at the door brought be back to reality, as this was
only a dream.
I looked at Joan who was still sitting in her chair reading her book. The door
opened and the nurse came in. She brought me food from the kitchen, I sighted
as she placed the tray. A few moments later she left, followed by Joan. “I have
a 5th period, I will be back honey” she said as she closed the door and left me
alone in her room.
JOAN'S POV
When I came back to my room Vera was gone, she probably went to bed already.
“What is wrong with you?” I said repeatedly to myself. I lay in bed that night,
tossing and turning, I couldn't get Vera out of my mind. “You can't just bring
someone to your room when you see the opportunity...you should've brought her
to her own room” I told my self sternly.
***** Star crossed lovers *****
Chapter Summary
     The next day. Joan can't deny anymore her feelings towards Vera. Joan
     offers to help Vera unbody the role of Juliet.
Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
JOAN'S POV
I tried my best to forget my indiscretion last night. But I couldn't get her
out of my head as I headed towards my first period.
Luckily I didn't have to face her in the morning. But I will have to face her
in the afternoon.
The bell rang, I sighted as I headed towards the teacher lounge to get my
lunch. I have gotten through the first half of my day without spacing in to
VeraLand. I let out a small chuckle as I thought about “VeraLand”. At that
moment I realized how happy it made me to be a part of something that had her
name on it, even if it was in my head. I smiled to myself as I passed by Miss
Miles the science teacher. “Hey Joan, wanna join me and the other teachers for
a game of poker after work in my room?” I wasn't listening as I was still
thinking about Vera, before I knew it I blurted “Vera” out from my lips.
“What... Joan are you in or not?” I flicked my eyes to find a Vera... I mean
very confused Lynda standing in front of me. Gosh Joan why is everything gotta
be about Vera!

As we headed down the stairs, Lynda elbowed me. I must've been thinking about
Vera again and this time she caught me. “Earth to Joan...as I was saying Will
beat me last time” she said with anger. “Oh Lynda it's just a game” I told her
softly as we reached the cafeteria. We sat next to Will the History Teacher and
Fletch the PE Teacher. I couldn't focus on what they were talking about as I
was going through some plays. Tchaikovsky hmm not bad. Shakespeare Oh what I
great idea. We could do Romeo and Juliet. I will be Romeo and she will be
Juliet...my Juliet, I thought.
VERA'S POV
Second period was almost over. We didn't do much today, Miss Miles was
explaining Electrochemistry to us. Then we viewed a video about Redox
Reactions. I couldn't concentrate as my mind was else where. I was once again
daydreaming about Joan.

JOAN'S POV

After an awkward lunch, I went to my classroom. For now, it was empty but soon
it will be filled with hooligans and Vera. Because all the students that take
drama are trouble makers, I know this by experience. To my surprise the first
to walk in was Vera...my Vera.

VERA'S POV

When I finished eating my lunch, I got up. “Oy Vera where are you going?” said
Franky. I told her I wanted to get to class early today. She nodded and resumed
her conversation with the other girls.
I quickly went to my locker, gathered my things, walked in to Joan's classroom
that was already opened. She looked surprise to see me, as did I to see her
already in class.
JOAN'S POV

“Hi Vera, listen about yesterday...umm I want to apologize for-” before I could
finish I was cut off, as Vera wrapped herself around my arms. “Thank you Joan,
for taking care of me” I held her tightly against my chest.
VERA'S POV

As Joan was holding me tightly, I could smell her delicious scent. Moments
later we broke from our embrace as the bell rang. Today Miss Ferguson was going
to make us vote for which play we wanted to perform. I voted for Romeo and
Juliet, my old time favorite play.
JOAN'S POV

I was surprised as Vera and I had the same taste. We both wanted to perform
Romeo and Juliet, as for the other students they didn't have much choice as
they didn't even bother to vote.
VERA'S POV

I began going trough the script, scratching my head as I couldn't understand
the choreography as well as some of the lines. Miss Ferguson came up to me as
she was watching me from the corner of her eye. “Vera I need to see you after
class”. My head puzzled as I couldn't make a single reason why she would say
that. The bell rang, the students left. I got closer to Miss Ferguson as she
pulled out a chair for me to sit in. “I couldn't help but notice you are having
trouble with the script” she raised her perfect arched eyebrow. I couldn't
concentrate on what she was saying as I had my eyes on her lips.
JOAN'S POV

It is now time Joan...the time has come for you to make a move. She is looking
at your lips, her eyes are filled with desire. I cleared my throat which made
her gaze upon me I could see the pink pigmentation on her checks, she was
blushing. “Come to my room after school” I winked and left her in the
classroom.
VERA'S POV

Did she just invite me to her room?! The one she brought me to last night. Now
this time was different as this was an invitation.
After Drama, I had PE. When class was over, I waited impatiently for the bell
to ring. When it rang, I ran towards my dorm, knocked on Joan's door, she
opened it and let me in.
JOAN'S POV

I told her to come sit beside me as I patted on a spot near me, on my bed. What
is your plan Joan? Why lead a student on your bed, isn't that risky? It was
very risky to have her here. I told her to lock the door as she came towards
me. We went through the first act, scene 1.2.3.4 and finally five.
 
Romeo and Juliet 
Act_1,_Scene_5,_Page_5
ROMEO (Joan)
(taking Vera's hand)
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. 
JULIET (Vera)
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this,
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
ROMEO
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
JULIET
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
ROMEO
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray; grant thou, lest
faith turn to despair.
JULIET
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
ROMEO
Then move not, while my prayer’s effect I take.
 
-She kisses her-
 

Vera's POV
I had inhabited my role so well that I didn't realize that I was kissing Joan
before she pulled back. “See that wasn't so hard, was it.” She told me. I
didn't answer as I grabbed her hand and placed it next on my heart, locked my
gaze with hers before pulling her back for another kiss. I waited for her
tongue to grant me entrance.
JOAN'S POV
I couldn't believe it, I just kissed my own student. But I didn't care as I
kissed her back, letting her tongue explore my mouth further. Our tongues where
fighting for dominance. We were both enjoying the moment. Suddenly her phone
rang which startled us. “I'm sorry Joan I have to take this, thank you for your
help see you tomorrow” she told me. “Bye Vera” I said winking at the blue eyed
beauty.
VERA'S POV
I quickly left Joan's room, pressed the green button and answered the phone.
“Hi mum, how are you?” I heard her breath hitch as she spoke. “Vera my darling
I'm at the hospital right now” her voice broke. “I don't think I have much
longer” I heard her crying on the other end. She then hung up, I climbed up my
bed, took a pillow and started crying.
Chapter End Notes
     I made this chapter longer because I won't be able to update for a
     while.
***** Aftermath *****
Chapter Summary
     Both Vera and Joan remember everything that happened yesterday. Joan
     starts to question her position and Vera worries about her mother.
VERA'S POV
The next day I could barely get out of bed as I haven't slept the night before.
After a few moments of procrastinating. I finally got up and went to the
bathroom. I stared at myself in the mirror. “You look like a piece of crap
Vera” I said. I brushed my teeth, looking in the mirror I touched my lips. “It
wasn't a dream this time it had really happened.” I said. I picked up the brush
on the sink and brushed my hair as I was still talking by myself. “My teacher
kissed me, she KISSED ME! and I kissed her back.” I put on my uniform and soon
I was heading towards the school.
(Lunch)
JOAN'S POV
WOW!! That happened in a flash. We kissed, actually Joan you kissed her! Why
did you do that! What would your father say?!”I tried my best to chase the
negative thoughts in my mind, but they just kept coming and each time more and
more harsh. You had one job, the opportunity to teach and what did you do with
it??!! You fucking go and kiss a student" Soon I was brought back to reality as
I was lost in my own thoughts again. What made everyone stare at me, in the
staff room wasn't because I was talking loudly; I was smashing my potatoes very
loudly.
(A few hours later/Drama class)
VERA POV
I managed to get through this very rough day, well I had one class left and it
was drama. I didn't see Joan come in. A few moments later she stood in front of
me as I raised my hoodie to look at her. Worried brown eyes meet with my blue
ones. She cleared her throat and whispered “See me after class” before going
back in front of the class. I put on my hood and laid-back once again on the
desk, setting my head on the wood surface. The cold wood became a very familiar
sensation to me as I had laid my head on it on every class.
JOAN'S POV
I watched as my last student exited. I then quickly closed the door and walked
towards Vera. She was sleeping like an angel, her beautiful curls surrounded
her face like a halo. I bent myself next the next and tenderly whispered in her
ear. “Wake up sweetheart, it's only us now” I pulled out a chair beside her.
Soon she was raising her head from the desk.
VERAS POV
I raised my head, my eyes meet with Joan's. She smiled timidly at me. I tried
to smile back, but I could not.
JOANS POV
I noticed dark circles around my Vera's eyes. I figured she hadn't slept all
night, but why? Was it because of me of what I did? “Now baby tell me what's
wrong?” She looked away and began speaking.
VERAS POV
I told her about the phone call and how I was worried about my mom. I couldn't
just sit there and hide my pain from me. I felt relieved as she took me in her
arms and kissed my forehead.
JOANS POV
I caressed her in my arms for a few moments before she pressed me against the
wall and kissed me. Her tongue tasted like strawberry candy I loved the taste
of it lingering on the tip of my tongue. I pulled back shortly after and gave
her a more serious look. “Now ... now we must be very careful sweetie” I told
her. “I suggest we don't show any affections within these walls” She gave me a
nod before I could say anything a student came in. She immediately left.
