‘Hey Maggie?”
‘Hn.’
‘Do you think…..t-the kiss that happened. Does it mean anything?’


There was a pause. A long cold pause between the two ‘sisters’. Their voices no longer gracing the empty void of infinite space and darkness. No sight could locate where the two bodies were, no force in the world could pull in the warmth of these seemingly normal forms. In this space, only a flicker of light could catch the attention of these brunettes…..lost somewhere underneath the blankets of darkness in an attempt to search for that flicker of light so they may follow. Nay, there was no light here. Not even a candle burning to its final breath. It was just pure darkness with complimenting silence suggesting that this dimension could be space itself? Albiet, space was never this dark. It had its own lights scattered infinitely in their orbits while there would be spheres of dust and rocks displaying their own magnificence from light years away.

Then what is this? Is this a dream? Or someone’s dreamless state.

‘I suppose so. It wasn’t like you initiated it.’

‘Y-yeah but…..Tom…h-he’s old.’

‘So? What love is love and my dear you have a big crush on him. You can’t deny that.’

‘But…..mom will never agree. No one will.’


Another pause. The conversation between the two bodiless females became the only light to the lifeless space of void. Every time their voices would echo in the space, waves of different colors from the spectrum would pulsate in every direction, fading out into the horizon. Maybe it was still travelling or did it reach its final destination and vanished? Was science really applicable in this void of mysterious beauty? Where colorful waves of lights and delicate particles of flashing lights would fall after every spoken syllable rivaling the freshening effects of the spring shower? For the while, one could only enjoy the display of light works and the cold colorful embers to fall only to vanish as darkness would once again devour the mythical void. One’s heart could only anticipate how the scenes would show again, how bright the colors would shine and just how many shades could the sparkling dust would acquire. If only this girl would talk can this light show begin….

And this time, with every pulse rang bells. With every syllable rang one bell and with it, colors were once again released with all its glamour fighting off the silenced darkness. Sometimes there would be red and sometimes violet but in every interval was a brilliant white. Even if this was just a dream, no science could define this phenomena, only a poet's mind or an artist's comprehension could give this display of heavenly beauty a meaning

‘Hm….you know. You can be selfish for once.'

‘What?’

‘Can you not love someone?’


The colours stopped pulsating, the mythical ringing of small bells began to fade with the passing silence until, the delicate voice of a childish female spoke. But this time, the colour glowed brighter until one could mistake the shades to grow white……was the dream reaching its end?

‘O-ofcourse I can but wouldn’t it be weird?,”

Then there was a flash of white, blinding to the eye. It was the whitest of white. The darkest of shade you can expect from the empty colour. And with the final ring of the bell, a womanly voice closed the curtains of the day dream to an end saying.

‘Love does not have limits. Even if you turn the world upside down, no one can give limits to it. Trust me, I AM the part of your imagination anyways….’

And then, brown irises would show. In the comfortable darkness of her room, Magnolia woke up to see the lazily rotating fan stuck forever to the ceiling sending gusts of chilly winds to the groggy lady below who only groaned and flipped upon her side, pulling the cream sheets of her bed to her head thus, revealing set of half lidded eyes to watch the pulsating light of her phone’s screen. The flimsy smartphone with its tacky decorations jingled and sing from the vibrations that did not bear well for the early riser who seemed to only sit up and swipe the zealous phone off from the site table, the melody it played was certainly the hymn like music that played within her dream. It was definitely the influencer that changed her dream to an internal strife within her mind, personalities within her soul debated to reach a meaningful answer to her questions…..the forever questions that never finished bothering her. Every single day she was met with a new question and when she reached the answer……she forgot the question.

In a trance Magnolia closed the alarm of her phone, the reminder warning the sleepy young lady of the school time. And so, for the umpteenth time, Magnolia left decided to forgive and her forget the strife surrounding her English Teacher. Yes. Weird huh? A twenty year old like herself falling for the English teacher of her class, Tom Dawson was the name that put a spell on her heart. Similar to a deer in the headlights, Magnolia would often stop dead in her tracks and embarrass herself when being exposed to the gentlemanly charms of the older man. Whenever he would flash a million dollar smile to her for the sake of manners and etiquette, Magnolia would gush and blush as if she was a school girl or a flower in spring. Many times when she looked back to all those embarrassing times she would blush more, palming her face in utter shame for all those embarrassing things she have done such as- stuttering, mumbling in his very presence and casting her eyes downcast whenever he would choose her to read passages and such.

Magnolia was known to be a reserved and meek girl in school anyways but around him…..she would be reduced to shambles anyways. Her friends would sometimes blame her personality…..thank god. She would be utterly embarrassed if someone found out she had a crush on him. Or the fact they kissed once.

Yelping, Magnolia jumped off from the edge of her bed and scrambled away to the bathroom connected to her room. And so, time flew, Magnolia had finished breakfast and with a belly full of waffles she kissed her father on the cheek and bade him adieu as he drove off from the gates near her school to his work leaving the bespectacled girl to her own as she walked nearer to the doors of her school. With every step she took, her heart picked up a beat and her breathing became shallower……would she see Tom again? Would their eyes meet discreetly as every day it would? Shaking her head, the lively curls of the brunette flew energetically unlike the blushing fawn who would soon see the eyes of her smiling and giggling friends, easily forgetting the problems she was experiencing. Until…..well the English class arrived.

Like always, Magnolia sat near the window, her eyes finding themselves more on the scene outside than onto the board and the teacher…..she was afraid if she turned her eyes on him she would remember the kiss they shared before. Resting her chin on the back of her hand, Magnolia instigated on playing with her pen while humming the tune of her personal lullaby or her alarm tone, her mind wandered off to the library even when her chocolate brown eyes seemed fixated on the garden ahead in a way to distract herself. Being a bookworm and a novel lover, Magnolia was wondering how many kinds of book the library was holding. Magnolia smiled and re-adjusted the rather thick rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose while she would rest her chin on the back of her hand, she couldn't help but feel ticklish when the fuzzy material of her school sweater began to brush against her sensitive skin right under her chin all the while she began to doodle and without her knowing, she began to sketch the portrait of her teacher catching the visage and energy of her ever busy teacher happily teaching the class. Sadly her mind was not present to know whatever he was teaching, she was all too busy adding details to his features hoping to convey the love and giddy emotions she felt with the sketch of him.
 
Tom woke that morning ready for work. He rubbed at his blue eyes almost massaging them awake from the deep slumber that he had found himself in that night. He was not a morning person to say the least and more to the point it was the start of the working week again and he didn't even want to think about that. Monday was the one day he couldn't even bear to deal with. There was also something on the thirty year old teachers mind that played and toyed with ever ounce of his being. He had shared a kiss with someone, someone he shouldn't and it was a person that he would be seeing at least on weekdays. To anyone that knew the would be a pervert a wrong un who needed to get a life, to him he didn't care.

Magnolia was more of a woman than actual women that he had been with that were more his own age. He had heard some of the jabs at school, the sarcastic comments that had been sent his way that he just took no notice of. If he allowed it to get to him then naturally he would probably end up losing his job. Still her sweet face and beautiful taste would fill his mouth whenever he thought of her. He knew it was wrong, wrong in the sense that she was his student though the more he thought about it why should he feel it wrong. He liked her a lot and he planned on kissing her again, maybe more in time.

He drove to school as always and the day passed him by like usual. Tom taught the kids and gave him his very best, he felt it was certainly the best job he could be doing, it was his calling so to speak. But then it was time, time for Maggie to enter his classroom and he could stare and enjoy every inch of her as he longed to do over and over again. He wished he had more lessons with her in the week, more lessons meaning more chance to allow the pair to take each other in and enjoy being with each other. Though of course he couldn't tell her what she really meant to him, how he wanted to spend time with her. He let out a sigh before teaching the class a little part from a textbook before setting them off on some questions already pre set on the whiteboard.

There was something though that he couldn't understand, that was that Magnolia would come into his class and stare out the window taking in the outside scenery rather than setting eyes on him. Was it to stop people talking? Was it because she didn't really like him? Tom slumped down into his seat and waited for the class to begin to finish the questions before the began to go through the answers. "Question five, name the town in England where William Shakespeare was born. Maggie, what do you have as your answer?" He asked her looking toward he smiling awaiting an answer. The smile was creeping across his face almost out of the fact that he would get to hear her soft voice again.
 
Magnolia was all too busy drowning herself in the sketch she was creating. The sounds of anything around her was buzzed and static, the only thing in her attention and perception was her pencil and the paper upon which she added the final shadings to Tom’s features, identifying and visualizing his blue eyes and the mischievous gleam within them that would sometimes be turned to her, overbearing her with emotions she couldn’t understand.

Alexandria sighed in what may appear as exhaustion, she pushed the thick rim of her black spectacles back on the bridge of her nose followed by pressing her tired back into spine of her chair. Taking notice of the busy class the last time, Alexandria noticed how her teacher’s nose was dug into the English book he was reading aloud, his voice becoming a song inside her head when she seemed to trance out from the world upon looking outside the window. One hand cupping her chin and the other playing with the hefty pages of her textbook, the timid lass refused to have a look at the teacher.

‘It was his fault…..w-why did he kiss me.’

Alexandria’s lashes fell to semi crecents, her bangs and hair saving her blush from being seen by those around her. Ofcourse they were all to busy by the questions assigned to them to even notice a jittery Alexandria looking outside the window or awkwardly looking around the class as if she felt unwelcomed in the tight atmosphere created by her own emotions and aura. Hence forth, Magnolia refused to look at the teacher for she knew the second their eyes would meet, Magnolia would make a fool out of herself by blushing furiously or doing something otherworldly that would raise suspcions by her privy female classmates of her potential fancy for the English teacher.

"Question five, name the town in England where William Shakespeare was born. Maggie, what do you have as your answer?"

The class body turned to see Magnolia, their eyes showing plethora of questions and amused emotions additionally, expressions that could speak for their unsaid words. The pregnant silence continued excluding the intentional sounds of cleared throats or overexagerated coughs to wake a daydreaming Magnolia up from her reverie yet, nothing worked for the brunette continued to stare out the window until her blond friend seated behind her leaned close to Magnolia’s chair whispering into her ear worriedly

“Hey Maggie, Tom asked you a question.”

Those words were the only alarms given that crashed her trains of thought, eyes growing wide the timid girl whipped her brown mane towards the grinning teacher which certainly did not help the visible blush growing wider and shades of crimson upon her pale skin as wildfire. Playing with her fingers in a nervous habit, Magnolia turned her eyes to her boots her burning ears attempting to mute the continuous chuckles and whispers of the students around her except for a few friends who only watched the standing fawn make a mockery out of herself

“I-I,” Magnolia stuttered lowly, her ears perceiving a whisper of the blondette behind her, she told her the answer but Magnolia being a truthful person as she was decided to tell the teacher the truth than lie to him, so gathering air in her lungs, the girl spoke up softly, her voice being audible enough for the teacher to perceive the embarrassment and disappointment in her quivering voice “I-I am sorry…..I-I don’t know….”

And so, the girl remained standing on the spot, her chin pressed against the nook of her neck while her eyes remained upon her shoes
 
"I assume that you do not know because you have been far to busy drawing and looking out of the window to pay any attention to what we have learnt today. If you had been paying attention then you would have seen question five was not what I asked you and is up there on the board." Tom felt he was perhaps being a little to harsh but it had to be said. He was here to teach, to broaden the students mind and the fact that there was history between him and Maggie made it harder for her to be in his class. "Stay behind after and you can do everything that the class has learnt today at home." Tom told her not expecting the sniggering and sarcastic noises to fill the room. "That is quite enough from all of you", raising his voice and the whole class soon was quite.

He was put across his authority without being scary or rude. He seemed to know how to handle a class and that was important to him. There was no point using scare tactics to get his way, being liked but well thought of was much the better way to go about things. Tom then rattled through the rest of the question, everyone seemed to have done the work well all the answers correct at least from the people that he asked to answer them which was pleasing as well as extremely rare.

Tom sat at his desk as the bell rang. Plenty of the students ran for the door as it was the last lesson of the day and time for them all to vacate the prison as they saw it and go home and get up to whatever the youth of today got up to now. He looked over at Magnolia, still seemingly disinterested in him and the class he was teaching. As far as he was aware she didn't hate English though it was probably not her favourite. None the less he was keen to understand, if it was him he would get he transferred to another class to save her embarrassment.

"Tell me Maggie, what is it that you hate about my class so much you can't concentrate?" He asked her inquisitively trying to get into the young girls mind. "If it is me, then tell me and we can sort this but drawing and looking out the window is not going to get you what you want from life, from your exams. I want to help." He told her with passion and understanding. He cared for her, he always had done but how could he help someone that seemed to not want to help themselves? "Do you need extra lessons? Me to speak to your parents?" He offered more options as the girl still sat in silence.
