Getting a little closer

At lunch Diamond walked back to Christina’s classroom and sat on her desk, Christina didn’t say anything about it when she walked in.
“So what’s up?”
She sighed and shook her head.
“I’m just not in control of my life, I wish it were as simple as getting a new job or divorcing my husband.”
Diamond raised an eyebrow.
“You don’t want to be with....”
“Frank, and no I don’t never did.”
“Why did you marry him?”
“I can’t tell you that.”
“I won’t tell anyone.”
Christina refused to answer.
“Okay I won’t force you, you should move in with your parents and get away from him.”
“Wish I could, they passed away a long time ago.”
“I’m sorry that was insensitive.”
“Don’t worry about it you wouldn’t have known.”
“I would if you would talk to me.” she said.
“I’ve known you a little over a month there is no reason I should spill my life story.”
“Oh don’t give me that a client can tell everything to a therapist in a week if they want you talk to me about something everyday and I’m not even qualified.”
Christina laughed.
“I suppose you have a point.”
“Besides Christina, you and I both know you wouldn’t have talked to me if you didn’t want to.” she said teasingly.
“Fair enough, do you call al of your teachers by their first name?”
“Nope, just you.”
Elmer was leaning against the wall outside the classroom watching them talk, he smiled slightly after all some young woman wasn’t a threat to him.
“I’m glad you got a friend now babe, maybe I can actually leave you alone more and get some work done.”
He quickly slid down when Diamond looked over.
“What?”
“Oh I thought I heard something, don’t worry about it.”
The warning bell rang and Diamond slid off the desk.
“Cheer up, you have my number if you need anything, no matter the time.”
She waved and left the room Christina blushed slightly she didn’t know why it really mattered but it was nice to have a friend she could depend on even if it was her student.
.....
The following Monday Diamond rolled over to turn off her alarm and glanced around her dark purple, white, and black themed room. She was laying in a canopy bed, if she laid still and someone walked in who didn’t know what to look for they probably wouldn’t notice her if her head was under a pillow. In her demon form her skin was black, onyx black, silver lines were all over her arms, legs, and stomach in beautiful patterns. She didn’t have wings but she did have a long pointed tail, her eyes were a similar shade to the purple that was all over her room and her hair was down her back completely white.
She was taller and curvier in this form she stretched and glanced at her claws she had to keep them trimmed because she was unfortunately absent minded and they were razor sharp.
“Diamond! Breakfast is ready!”
“Coming.” she mumbled into her pillow.
“You know I can’t hear you when you do that!”
“So why do you answer me then?” she muttered.
“I heard that!”
She rolled her eyes and got up to shower.
........
Christina hadn’t gone to bed she had to stay up because Frank wasn’t feeling well, she tried to tell him he needed to rest and he threw a tantrum and refused, then blamed her for his illness. She rubbed her eyes as she stirred another pot of oatmeal, she didn’t know what he was sick with but oatmeal was the only thing he could keep down. He didn’t like it when she made a big pot because it was “wasting food” even though she knew he would constantly ask for more. He’d gone through four pots already. She took him breakfast and ran her hands through her hair.
“Frank I need to get ready for work.”
“What the hell for?”
“We’re late on some of the bills.”
He glared at her.
“You trying to say I don’t make enough money?”
“N...no...not at all.”
Like a child he threw the oatmeal at the wall, it splattered everywhere.
“You can go after you clean that up and make some fresh oatmeal for me.”
She sighed and got up to get the cleaning supplies, he looked exhausted but the man practically invented stubborn he wouldn’t go to sleep until she did what he said; and no matter how he felt there would be hell to pay if she didn’t.
............
Diamond had finished eating and was waiting for her father to come drive her to school when her phone buzzed.
“Hello?”
“Good morning Diamond.”
“Christina? You sound awful is everything alright?”
“Yeah I’m fine listen I’m going to be late can you do me a favor?”
“Sure.”
................
When Christina arrived she went to her office to drop off her things and saw a cup of coffee and a bag from the local bakery she glanced at the note next to them.
‘I grabbed the stuff for English too in case you aren’t here by then take a breather hon.’ - Diamond.
She smiled and sent Diamond a ‘thank you’ text.
..
“So now you’re like her assistant?” Julia asked.
“I guess so, jealous?”
“Of course, you had access to all the quiz and test answers.” Julia said.
Diamond rolled her eyes.
“Oh no, you can study just like I can. ”
“Oh boo you’re no fun.” she complained.
They looked up as Christina walked in.
..........................
At the end of the day Christina went to talk to the principal who had emailed her while she was in class. Mr. Edison doubled as the owner so what he said was final, he was tall had short brown hair, dark skin and dark green eyes a very good looking older man indeed. Unfortunately for the females who were fond of him he was gay.
“Hey sweetie.” he said as she walked in.
“Hi Matthew.”
“Are you okay? Lizzie said you didn’t seem well.”
“I’m fine just tired, like always.”
He cocked his head.
“Sure about that?”
“Really, no reason to worry what did you need?”
“I didn’t really need anything I wanted to check on you, we’ve been friends a long time and you should know you can depend on me if you need to.”
‘No I can’t, you know too many people.’ she thought sadly.
“I know, anything else?”
“Actually it’s about Diamond.”
“Is something wrong?”
“No, well sort of I think she should be testing out of the Junior class, she’s doing so well but she didn’t seem to keen on the idea.”
“You want me to talk to her?”
“Could you? Elmer said he noticed you seemed to talk a lot, maybe she’ll listen to you, I don’t want her holding herself back.”
She nodded.
“I’ll talk to her but no promises.”
“Great, get some rest, I having a party on Sunday and I want you to be there, bring Frank along.”
“Okay I’ll talk to him, see you tomorrow.”
“I’ll walk you out.”
....
Elmer watched them leave from his place near the bushes he always waited for Christina to leave, he didn’t feel threatened by Matthew either because he had seen him with his boyfriend. When Christina and Matthew left he left his hiding spot and got in his truck. He liked seeing that she was doing a little better with Diamond.
“I’ll cut you some slack since you’re getting happier, but when I come for you I won’t be taking no as an answer my sweet sweet beloved.”
