When you are the new kid at school it is never easy, but it's even harder when you are a new teacher. This is my first day at Dalton Academy for boys, in Westerville, Ohio. After a tour of the school with the headmaster and an introduction to almost the entire staff I've learnt a thing or two.
Dalton was like something a teenage girl and a potterhead would dream of. A potterhead would love it because the whole school looked like Hogwarts' smaller sibling. And teenage girls would love it because, it being an all boys school, there were attractive teenage boys scattered throughout the school like ants, even though it was early in the morning, before school was planned to start.
Before my first class, I decided to go for a walk through these majestic halls.

"Oh Yeah!" I sing as I walk into Warbler Hall with Jeff to rehearsals. I get the typical warbler call in response. We have bonded together since Blaine and Kurt left. Kurt made us realise that we needed to broaden our horizons when it comes to the solos, so the council has a special message to give to us today. The talk died down as all the warblers took their seats.
"Gentlemen, today the council have decided that we will be singing the classic, Uptown Girl!" There was a huge cheer since the warblers were so excited about the news Trent had just given us.
"Actually, there is someone we would like to take the main solo for this one. The council members just want this person to know that we appreciate their devotion and think that they can lead us to victory at sectionals!" Thad said addressing the crowd, "And that person is Nick! Do you want to get us started?"
Oh my god, I got the solo! I was not expecting that. I was expecting Sebastian to get it, seeing as how he was most like Blaine, who used to get all the solos.
"I'd love to!" I answered, so I started to sing.
"Oooh...
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had an back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
It is so hard to concentrate on dance numbers and singing when Sebastian Smythe is staring at me like that. That seductive look doesn't work on me; I'm straight as can be. Plus, Sebastian is a massive man-slut.
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
As the Warblers move into formation, I see Sebastian and many of the other Warblers looking towards the door. They'd better not want to leave because of my singing.
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
I turn to see Sebastian moving towards the door. It's Blaine! He's back! We try to coax him to join us but Sebastian ends up dragging him over.
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Oooh..."
Who is that fine woman walking past? Oh she's stopped, and that outfit she's wearing is so seductive. It's a strategically cut white top, red hip-hugging skirt, with a navy blue scarf wrapped around her delicate neck. The way her dark hair bounces in her curly ponytail, the way she smiles at us while telling us to keep quite. She is gorgeous.
"Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in"
I tell the boys to follow me out of our choir room so I get to look into the eyes of this beauty.
"She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine"
Even the way she dances along to our vocals is beautiful; I need to find out who she is!
"And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine"
That bastard! Sebastian's flirting with my girl! She's way too classy for him.
"She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love"
Okay, now this is just getting ridiculous. Kyle has started flirting with her! If all of us try to get this lovely lady, then most of us will end up with broken hearts. Thank goodness she doesn't look too interested in the other guys, I might have been heartbroken from the start.
"With an uptown girl "
She points us back to our rehearsal room but I can't stand to leave her. She's not taking no for an answer. Firm - that's hot. She pushes Jeff away, and a couple of other guys. I think Sebastian is flirting with Blaine again now. He really would shag anything that moves.
"She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am"
Almost all the Warblers have left, except Kyle. I really don't think he stands a chance, I'm much more attractive, but I'm slightly biased. She pushes Kyle back into the choir room since we are standing at the entrance. I give her an air kiss and jump back to my best friends.
"Oooh..."
By the time I get back in formation she's gone. Who was she? I need to see her again. I think I'm in love.
"Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
Don't You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl"
I'm sitting on one of the brown leather couches watching tricks and stunts performed by my friends and I just can't stop thinking about her. I need to get my head and heart focused again on this song. It's for sectionals after all.
Agh, Sebastian is shamelessly flirting with Blaine, but Blaine has a boyfriend and would never cheat on Kurt.
"My uptown girl
Don't You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl"
I have to find my uptown girl.

As the bell rings I do what all teachers do to start a class, write my name on the board. Miss Hall, it says. I'm still not used to how my name looks on the board after more than a year's worth of teaching back in New York.
"Hi guys, I'm Miss Hall, your French teacher for the rest of the year. Mr. Clarkson had to leave us because of family issues so I've been asked to replace him," I say to my first class of the day, "Am I to understand that previously you've been studying basic phrases and words? Uh, boring!"
"And who are you? Mister…" I asked the boy about to walk into my class late.
Wes, Thad, and David, made me stay behind after rehearsals, making me late for French. Mr. Clarkson is going to freak. If I just sneak in maybe he won't realize.
"And who are you? Mister…" I hear as I walk thought he door trying to sneak into my seat. Oh crap. I'm done for, Mr. Clarkson's going to kill me! Wait, that wasn't Mr. Clarkson's voice!
I look up to see the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. My uptown girl; I found her! "Oh, um, I'm Nick, Nick Duval. And who are you?" I say flirtatiously.
"I'm Miss Hall. Your new French teacher," she said pointing at her name written on the board, "And I don't recommend being late again Mr. Duval."
Damn, that's hot. She's feisty and a teacher!
"Sorry Miss." I say taking my seat next to Jeff who just wants to know what happened after rehearsals.
"I'll tell you after." I say shrugging off his constant questions and focusing on my plan; the plan in which I'll make my teacher fall in love with me, like I did for her.
