KURZE ZEIT: Short Time

3. About her

The sunlight slowly moved into his room, approaching him who was asleep. His eyes twitched, he wanted to get away from her but couldn't because he couldn't get past her. That woman, her face looking beautiful, she walked up to him gracefully. She smiled at him, as she was about to say something she disappeared like dust. Antoine opened his eyes, he groaned. Ah, so it was just a dream.

" Good morning "

Antoine turned his face to the source of the voice, again, he sighed "How did you get here?"

" The story is long, and guess who made it happen? you're the one "Nathan approached him, he whispered "I wish you remembered him. "

" What happened last night? "

" you reckon? "

Antoine closed his eyes, suddenly his shadow along with a woman appeared in his head, he looked chaotic and very drunk, the woman sounded worried about him then he approached her, trying to help her. That face, unmistakably, he was Lucie, his disciple.

The ringing sound of a cell phone rang out on the front desk of his bed, Nikolas walked into his room, then he picked up his phone. He looked at the screen of his phone, then saw Antoine "Oh take it easy, he's awake now and he doesn't seem to remember what happened last night. He's fine, no need to worry about him. Yeah, well, since I'm taking care of it, okay, see you later, "Nikolas put his phone back on the table.

" Who called you? " sanyanya.

" Melisa, if it's not wrong it's her name and she looks younger and prettier "

Loraine snorted "Who is he?! "

" Listen, this is none of your business. So I suggest you don't interfere, and yes I almost forgot to say it, you shouldn't sleep here! " Antoine got up from her bed, she opened the wardrobe while picking up some of her clothes.

" Why can't I? this house will also be my home, let me remind you one thing, first you are my fiancee, second.. "

Antoine let out a long sigh, he turned to face Loraine "I have cancelled it "

" What do you mean?! " loraine's face flushed red, she clenched her hands to cover up her anger, but unfortunately Antoine had found out.

Antoine was wearing her dress "What do you think happened between us? " he rushed to get his car keys and his bag.

" He's your girlfriend, and you're on a date "Antoine turned her head to the side, he looked her in the face sharply "you think such a thing happened between us? "

" Yes, I think she's your wife who you've now dumped "Nathan whispered.

Antoine took out a piece of brown envelope, he put it on his desk.

" What is that? " Nathan looked at him curiously.

" Give this to Julian, or if he's here just let me know that I left this file to investigate "

Antoine rubbed his face with a huff

" Fuck, he's my student "groaned.

Nikolas laughed, he was more and more happy to tease Antoine "Come on, he's your only student at school isn't he? so if it's outside school hours he's no longer your student. "

Antoine sighed "You know, I really hate things that smell like. gossip "

Antoine observed the surrounding streets, when he arrived at the unexpected junction from the beginning the green light suddenly turned into a red light, he immediately stepped on the brakes.

" What's wrong with you? vent your anger again? "

" It's okay, it's just a matter of street lights "so see the green light, Antoine immediately drove his car "What did you say? l'm mad?. Stop boasting, I'm almost at school" he said.

"OK. okay I won't bother you, but instead every day I'm willing to bother you even if you want me to do it hahaha" Nikolas laughed out loud, Antoine sighed " What's wrong with you? your head's been hit, hasn't it? " said.

" I have to go now" he said, after turning off his phone. He got out of the car carrying his bag.

Antoine took the paper, put it on his desk, smiled at Juliana "Silent Mom, it's natural that the students like to gossip "he said.

" But it's not just plain gossip, it's about you Anton "Juliana looked at her face in agitation,

" I'm just afraid they're going to spread rumors that aren't about you, and they even wrote that a teacher almost harassed his student. It sounds like a story, but then they wrote your initials A. G. "

" Listen, it's not gonna last long. So don't think too much, just let me handle it "Antoine tried to calm Juliana down, Juliana nodded "Alright, I think I should leave now" before she opened the door, Antoine said " Take a break, you look very tired. Did your student make you in trouble? " said.

" No, they're good students, I'm sure they won't make trouble. Thanks to Anton's concern, I hope I can always work with you "Juliana smiled, so did Antoine "well, okay, if you need help, call me. "

Lucie mused, she put her head on the table and closed her eyes hoping she could forget about the night. What if Mr. Anton still remember? he really hopes Mr. Anton forgets about it, but what if they bump into each other in a school setting, what should he do? pretending not to see it might sound better. When he opened his eyes, Becca was in front of him.

" O Lucie, did you really bring it? otherwise we can be kicked out of class "Becca walks back and forth in front of her, while Lucie re-examines the contents of her bag. Becca took out all the stuff she was carrying "wretched! we're gonna.. "

" Can you just shut up and sit there?! " he exasperated, his eyes fixed on the chair in front of him

" fortunately I took her, this morning I put her in a bag" she said.

" This is not good, after this the class will also begin " whispered Becca.

" Do I have to go back home, I mean take our leftover paper? " said Becca.

Lucie smiled "I brought my paper while you didn't bring it. So it's just you, not me "Lucie looking at the wall clock, the long needle is almost heading to the number twelve while the short needle is soon heading to the number seven, the long needle is almost heading to the number twelve,

" There is no time, after all your house is very far from school" he reminded her.

" Hey everyone, listen Miss Julia today did not go to school so this week until the next Sunday she was replaced with Mr. Anton " said one of the students in the class. While Lucie was surprised, the other students cheered happily.

Both hands propped up his chin, he sat dumbstruck in the canteen. Becca is confused to see Lucie's strange behavior, "Lusi what's wrong with you? " ask Becca, Lucie looked at Becca's face and went back to daydreaming.

" Have something happened? " the two of them looked back simultaneously and found a silent Rian waiting for their answer. Lucie and Becca look at each other, Lucie wants a sound but Becca holds her back.

" Oh nice Lus, now what more trouble are you making? "

One of the disciples walked towards him "Mr. Anton calls you into his room "Lucie turns to the source of the voice, while Becca and Rian look at each other.

" who? Me? " tanyanya was confused. Lucie immediately got up from her chair, she felt her premonition was not good.

Lucie gulped "Okay, I'll be there "he said.

Antoine looked back at his phone screen, he was waiting for him but there was no sign of incoming messages.

Tok tock..

" Excuse me sir, I'm Lusi from class 11 A "

" Please enter "

Lucie looked around, without feeling she was already in Mr. Anton. His eyes were on a man who was looking for him, "Please sit down" he said.

" Because Ms. Julia's on family business, so she won't be in from this Sunday until the next Sunday. Ms. Julia had told me about this before, and she wanted me to replace her temporarily until she re-entered. I was told by Ms. Julia that you used to help her with the task collection, so please help her during my class.

Lucie nodded in understanding "Good sir, I am ready to help you" said Lucie.

Antoine smiled "I'm looking forward to it. "
