Willowmead Academy - where taboo, tests, and trauma go to learn a thing or two.

Abbie

When I enrolled in sixth form at Willowmead Academy, I wasn't expecting much. I'd already experienced the worst pain imaginable, what's the point in living after that?

But then I started to make friends, to stand up for myself again, to laugh. I finally started to live, and it's all because of the one man I should never want. The one man who pushes my buttons and makes me feel alive. It's ironic that for me to feel alive he has to risk everything.

After all, you aren't allowed to fall for your teacher.

I pride myself on living by one rule: emotional ties are for the weak. The needy. Those who need constant reassurance to feel worthy. Well, not me.

Once Willowmead’s most prestigious maths professor, the novelty of moulding eighteen-year-olds died the same day my reason for becoming a teacher did. Now the nearest bar is where you’ll find me, where the local women are desperate and my students don’t seem like such pricks.

I know I’m an asshole, and I don’t need to justify the way I live with anyone else. Until she shows up.

Defiant, infuriating, feisty. I find myself pushing her away as much as pulling her closer. The need to break her, ruin her, have her, consumes me.

There will be no happy ending here. Only one of us can come out on top, and for once, I hope it’s not me.

Flashbacks from yesterday keep coming back to me, and even though I cannot stand Mr. Caine and the vindictive, cocky smirk that seems to be constantly plastered to his face. I can’t deny that there’s something about him that makes me curious. He seems so guarded and there are times in the car drive into town when I cast a glance his way and notice in the companionable silence that he had dropped his act and he just looked lost.

Gone was the teacher who didn’t give a shit, or the sarcastic sneer he used on everyone, instead all I could see was an emptiness that I could relate to on a very deep level. I’ve no idea why Mr. Caine behaves the way he does, but I have a very strong feeling that he knows true pain. The kind that knocks you off your feet, empties your body of everything meaningful, leaving just an empty shell, whilst filling your soul with a darkness that threatens to consume your every waking moment.

That is how I feel right now. Like every moment is a battle not to let the darkness win, not to allow it to consume me.

Emma Luna is an author and editor who lives in Cambridgeshire, UK, despite her heart still very much being Northern. She lives surrounded by her crazy family; her Mum, who is her best friend and biggest fan; her Dad who helps her remember to always laugh; her Grandparents and Brother who can never read what she writes and her long suffering man-child Boyfriend who she couldn't live without (but don't tell him that!).

In her spare time she likes to create new worlds and tell the stories of the characters that are constantly shouting in her head. She also loves falling into the worlds created by other authors and escaping for a while through reading.

When she's not adulting or chasing her writing dream she loves dog-napping her Mums shih-tzu Hector, chilling curled up on the sofa with her Boyfriend binge watching the latest series or movie, drinking too much diet coke (it's her drug of choice), buying too many novelty notebooks, and completing adult colouring books as a form of relaxation. Oh and she is a massive hardcore Harry Potter geek. Ravenclaw for life!

Thank you for taking a chance on a newbie author - hope you enjoy and come back for more!

Maddison Cole

Aside from being a married mum of two, Maddison is a serial daydreamer. As a reader of all romance tropes, from RH to Omegaverse, she finally decided to put pen to paper (finger to keyboard doesn't sound as poetic) and write her own.

Maddison hails from the south east of England, where she enjoys watching musicals, an excessive amount of cheesecake and curling up in bed with a steamy romance novel in hand (not usually all at once but there’s no judgement here.). Currently working in a Junior School as a TA and cookery teacher, the dream is that Maddison can one day become a full-time author. Thank you for your support on her journey.
