Teachytastic- Chapter 1

So for those of you who have read my other story "It's Greek to Me", I have wanted to update it but needed the inspiration to do so. I have recently found some inspiration so hopefully I can get a chapter out to you soon. In other words, I began this story. I hope you enjoy it! As always, my beautiful girlfriend has definitely inspired it. Hope you all enjoy!

Staring around the small classroom, Callie decided that she was satisfied with the final set up. The desks were set up in random groups around the room. An amazing library with puppets and fun literary games waited for its first visitor. The area behind her desk was going to serve as the reward area, and it was filled with tons of games and age appropriate toys. It was perfect. After changing the room around five times already she better be okay with it. It was her first day as Miss. Torres, fourth grade teacher, and she couldn't be more excited. After getting her Bachelors in Child Development and Education and two years of job searching, this job was much appreciated. She wasn't entirely satisfied that she was now located in Seattle but she would get over it.

Callie eventually came out of her trance when she heard a bell ring and tiny feet begin to take over the hallways. Heart immediately picking up speed, Callie stood up and fixed her skirt and went to the door to welcome her new class to their first day of fourth grade.

Arizona couldn't believe she was late again. This was the third time this week that she couldn't make it to the hospital on time because of fire alarms in her apartment building. She was sure some asshole was out to get her by pulling the fire alarm every day right before she needed to get up. Yet here she was, back at the hospital, hair pulled back into a lazy ponytail and wearing scrubs that probably should have been washed.

Walking past the nurses' station in Peds, Arizona had to mentally remind herself not to visibly gag when she saw Leah, the intern she had slept with a few nights ago. It wasn't that the sex was bad but it definitely should not have happened. Arizona was attempting to focus on her career and grow out of the stage where she would sleep with any good looking woman that crossed her path. Especially residents. She was ready for something more serious. So she put on the best smile she could muster, gathered her charts for the day and made her way to her office. It was definitely going to be a long day.

Callie had no problem welcoming all of her students, one at a time at the door, but once they were all seated in a spot they chose, her fears sprouted as always. She wasn't sure how she became a teacher with her fear of speaking in front of large crowds but it happened. Once she got past the initial fear she would be fine, but that was a difficult first step. Attempting to mentally stuff all of her anxiety and senseless fear into a bag, Callie began to address her class. "Good morning everyone!"

A few students muttered the phrase back but majority just continued to stare at Callie. She decided to try again a little bit louder. "Good morning everyone!"

At this point, the class knew that if they did not appease their new teacher that she would just continue to say good morning to a mute class. "Good morning."

Callie smiled. "Now that was a much better greeting. Thank you everybody. I am Miss. Torres. I will be your homeroom, science, and math teacher this year! Now I see all of you are not even remotely interested in what I am saying now. I know it's a new year and you would all rather be sleeping but you know that's not an option so let's try to make the best of it!"

Most of the students nodded, accepting the fact that summer was over. Callie moved behind her desk to grab the role sheet. "Alright when I say your name I want you to stand up and begin to form a circle around the room. Got it?" After receiving a chorus of yes', Callie began saying names, "Allena, Dustin, Asa,…"

Eventually, the entire class was standing in a circle with Callie at the front. "Thank you everyone. I know every year you are forced to introduce yourselves by saying your name and something else random, but I wanted to do something different. So we are going to use this beach ball."

At the words, beach ball, the class evidently perked up. "I am going to throw this ball to one of you, when you catch it you are going to say your name and answer the question that your right thumb lands on. Sound easy enough?"

Nods could be seen all around the room so Callie threw it to a random girl across the circle from her. "I am Hailey and my question is 'What is your favorite TV show?' I would have to say that my favorite TV show is Chopped."

The class laughed at Hailey's admission and then she passed the ball to another student who Callie recognized as Asa, the only blonde boy in the class. Unfortunately, Hailey overestimated the throw and the ball went sailing over Asa's head. Asa watched the ball and attempted to jog backwards to catch the ball. Everyone in the class knew he was going to crash into the desk behind Asa and tried to warn him but it was too late. Asa crashed into the desk, went flying over it, and landed on the floor.

Callie was the first one across the classroom. She could not believe that had happened. When she got to Asa he was in the fetal position and clutching his arm. Panic immediately set in as Callie realized that the boy probably broke his arm. The class exploded into commotion. Callie screamed for someone to go get help and to get her cell phone.

In the ambulance, Callie began silently berating herself. Her first day and already she hurt a student. She was officially the worst teacher ever. Asa had remained pretty calm through the entire thing, however, which relieved Callie. She was currently holding his hand and rubbing light circles on it with her thumb. "I'm so sorry this happened Asa."

Asa looked over to Callie "It cool Miss. Torres. That was the most epic first day of school ever."

For the first time since the accident Callie smiled. The ambulance slowed down as they arrived at the hospital. Callie looked to Asa, "You ready for this?"

As Asa nodded, the back doors of the ambulance opened and the paramedics began unloading the gurney out of the back. Callie waited until Asa was safely on the ground before she climbed out of the ambulance herself. Everything was so crazy outside of the hospital. There was another ambulance there and the helicopter was landing on the landing pad above. Callie was impressed; however, that Asa looked calm, even intrigued by all that was happening. A doctor came over and the paramedics began spitting off what occurred. The doctor looked at Callie, "Are you coming?"

Callie just nodded and followed the gurney. Once inside, Callie saw that the ER was completely crazy. People were running everywhere. Asa and Callie were put in one of the curtained rooms to wait to be seen. "Your mom should be here any minute now," Callie explained.

For the first time that day, the smile on Asa's face disappeared. "Oh. Okay. By the way, she isn't my mom. She is just my foster mom."

Completely curious, Callie just nodded. "Okay. Noted. Thanks for letting me know."

While the two waited for a doctor to examine Asa they talked about all kinds of little boy things. Callie learned more about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and wrestling than she ever thought possible. "But wait which one is the red one," questioned Callie.

"That's Raphael, but my favorite is the blue one, Leonardo."

"He is my favorite too. Michelangelo is a close second," said an unfamiliar voice.

Callie turned around to see the source of the smile on Asa's face, and she couldn't deny it, the sight put a smile on her face as well. "Good Afternoon! I am Dr. Arizona Robbins. I hear you may have a broken arm on the first day of school. Sounds like you have a pretty interesting story to tell all of your friends."

"It was so cool Dr. Robbins! Miss. Torres was having us play this cool game where we catch this beach ball and then answer a question. The girl threw the ball to me so I went to catch it but beefed it over this desk."

"That is quite the story. Miss. Torres sounds like quite an awesome teacher," said Arizona as she looked up to Callie and smiled.

Callie literally almost fell over. As far as she was concerned she could die and go to heaven. In the midst of this chaotic day, a pretty doctor smiled at her and she was on top of the world, she was pathetic.

"More like worst teacher ever."

"How could you be a bad teacher? You probably just made this kid one of the coolest kids in school."

Callie was sure she was blushing at this point but she couldn't stop herself. "And I probably lost my job."

"Naw Miss. T. I got your back. I was just clumsy as usual," Asa encouraged.

Arizona and Callie had difficulty not laughing at the delightful fourth grader. The moment ended, however, when a nurse poked her head through the curtain to inform them that X-Ray was ready for them.

"Sweet! I love getting X-Rays," Asa said as Dr. Robbins went around to start pushing him there.

Callie was sitting in the room waiting for Asa to return from X-Ray. She couldn't believe the day she had. Luckily, the principal had called while Asa was up in X-Ray to inform her that she should not be worried and that accidents happen all of the time and that Asa's foster family did not plan on filing charges. So in the end, the day turned out pretty well. She would definitely never forget her first day of teaching or the lovely doctor she met on that same day.

An excited voice down the hall brought Callie out of her thoughts. Asa was rolled back into the room with Arizona. "Good news. It is fractured but surgery won't be needed. We are just going to put a lime green cast on Asa and he can be on his way."

"Isn't that cool," questioned Asa.

"That is very cool," replied Callie.

As Arizona began to fit Asa for the cast, Callie watched her work. She loved the woman's subtle curves, light blonde hair, and excellent smile. She also noticed how Arizona did everything with ease and fluidity. This woman was most definitely her type. Too bad Callie promised herself that she was going to concentrate on her first year of teaching and swear off woman since Erica Hahn, her ex girlfriend and fellow education major broke up with her. Otherwise, Callie would totally ask for the blonde's number.

As soon as Arizona finished applying the cast, Asa's foster mom ran into the room. "Oh Asa. You sure love getting hurt," laughed the woman.

Callie stood up and held out her hand. "Hi. I'm Miss. Torres, Asa's fourth grade teacher. I'm so sorry this happened."

"Oh it's okay. Little Asa is an aggressive little guy. He is okay right?"

Arizona stepped in at this point. "Hello. Dr. Arizona Robbins. Asa will be fine. He has a fracture that will easily heal with his cast. He will have to return in five to six weeks for us to examine the arm to see if we can take the cast off," Arizona continued to explain proper care of a cast while Callie watched in admiration. This woman was amazing.

Asa and his foster mom were finally able to leave the hospital and it was already nine o' clock. Callie was exhausted. She was ready to pass out. She would need all of the energy she could get in order to deal with the aftermath of all of this tomorrow. As she began to gather her things to leave, Arizona entered the room again. "You handled that all very well. You must be a seasoned teacher."

"Actually no. Today was my first official day as Miss. Torres."

"Well I would have never guess," replied Arizona, looking the brunette over.

"Thanks. It's nice hearing that. All I could think earlier was that I broke a kids arm on the first day out. That's not saying much for the rest of the year."

"Think about it though, it can't get much worse," said Arizona with a mega-watt smile.

"You make it sounds so much better."

"Well it was really nice getting to know you Callie. Your fourth graders are very lucky to have you."

On an impulse, Callie called out to the doctor before she could leave the room. "Wait. Do you think I could get your number," Callie questioned, immediately regretting that decision. "You know, so I can contact you in case anything weird happens with Asa's arm."

Arizona smiled at Callie. She could almost say with confidence that nothing weird would happen with Asa's arm but she found the brunette very appealing and thought it would be a shame if she never talked to her again. "Sure. That would be great for me as well. If you could shoot me a text tomorrow as well just so I can know how he is doing."

Immediately, Callie responded to the gorgeous blonde. "Oh yeah. That wouldn't be a problem."

After swapping phone numbers, Callie made her way out of the room with a huge smile on her face. It was definitely a good day indeed.
