Hey, welcome! I read a lot of stories and decided to write my own! Let me know what you think! I can update fairly regularly and i've already started on chapter 2. Do you think i should stick with Alex's POV? Or do a few in Mitchie's (Miss Torres) aswell? All speech is going to be in italics aswell!

I don't own the characters, just the story, and i've changed a few names around to make it my own.

Hope you enjoy!

'I mean, who doesn't fall a bit in love with a teacher at some point, can't do any harm.. right?'

Alex's POV;

I was walking to my car for the first day of school after summer when my phone began to ring in my pocket. After fiddling with my jean pocket to get it out, I rolled my eyes when I saw the name that was flashing up on the screen, 'My Baby 3', and instantly remembered that I needed to change it.

'Hey baby, where are you? Schools about to start and I can't see you anywhere?'

'Hey, yeah I'm running late, mum was kicking off about me running out last night and leaving Justin to cover my shift'

'Oh sorry baby, you should've said! Try not to be late, I want to see you after school today and not in detention. We can carry on from last night if you know what I mean'

I rolled my eyes at this, why does everyone assume I'm always trying to get into trouble…

'Lex?!'

'Hmm, yeah Bella?'

'Hurry up Lex, the bells about to ring!'

'Shit! Yeah I'm coming, see you in a bit, bye'

I fumbled through my bag looking for my keys and then jumped into the driver seat after chucking my bag onto the passenger side. As I assumed I would, I arrived to school 15 minutes late into tutor time and rushed as fast as possible to my classroom when I was rounding the last corner to the room.

'Russo!'

Shit! I turned around to see my Principal, Mr O'Connor walking towards me.

'Yes sir?'

'Well I shouldn't be surprised but really Alex? It's the first day of school of your Senior year, couldn't you at least try to be on time for that?'

'Sorry sir, I had car trouble'

'Whatever you say Alex, if I see or hear that you've been late again this week, expect to see yourself on duty every lunchtime next week'.

'Yes sir'

'Well hurry on, your almost 20 minutes late now, I don't think your new tutor is going to be impressed'

As I turned around I rolled my eyes again, expect to see a lot of that. New teacher?! Well thank god for that! If I have to deal with another year of old and dreary Mr 'Red tie green socks' Smith, I might've died of boredom.

As you might've noticed, I have a bit of a reputation. I spent most of the summer drinking, smoking, getting high, sleeping all day and partying all night and hooking up. I was late to school at least twice a week and I liked to skip lessons whenever possible with my best friends Sophia and Miley. I always seemed to be the one who got caught though, typical! I was clever and did well enough, but I didn't like school so I tended to either sleep or listen to music in class, and the teachers gave up on me a longggg time ago.

I got to my classroom and opened the door to see possibly the finest woman I have ever seen in my entire seventeen years of being alive! She was stood behind her desk with a folder in one hand, pen in the other, and was going through something with the class.

I must've been stood staring for awhile as she looked up and made her way towards me, and my god, she looked even hotter face on. She was wearing a tight knee length black pencil skirt with a white shirt without the buttons done all the way up that if she bent over, you'd definitely see her perfectly shaped cleavage. She had black lace up wedges on and her long wavy dark brown hair was pulled up into a high messy ponytail. Her face was pure perfection, she had minimal make-up on which allowed for her freckles to show through, a cute cleft chin and black rimmed glasses. When I finally looked into her eyes I almost gasped, her big brown eyes were the most mesmerising pair she had ever come across, which stood out with the black mascara she had on which made them stand out even more. Just so sexy. Damn it Russo!

This whole exchange happened in a matter of seconds as when I saw her lips moving she was walking towards me. Gosh those big lips look so ki…

'You must be Alexandra. I'm Miss Torres, your new tutor. Could you wait outside and I'll be out in a moment'

This was met with a chorus of deep 'ooooohs' and 'Russo! Russo!' from the idiot boys in my class.

'Quiet now!' She sounded stern and unimpressed.

I could feel my cheeks starting to blush.. what the hell!? I don't blush at anyone. I glanced at my friends who looked highly amused and then at Bella who was staring with her brows burrowed. Shit, looks like I'm in trouble again.

I looked at Miss Torres again, 'Y-yeah s-sure', and with that turned around and closed the door behind me and went to lean against the lockers to the right. Great, now I stutter too, jeez, why is she so hot for. A few minutes later I heard the door open so I turned to face her, still leaning against the lockers.

'Well Alexandra, not the best start to the year and to your new tutor, why are you so late?'

'It's Alex', I hated being called Alexandra, only my family can do it when there angry at me, and even then I hate it.

'Sorry?'

'My names Alex'

She looked at me for a second before starting again.

'So Aleeex', why did she drag my name out, it's making me feel all funny inside. 'Why are you so late?'

For some reason I couldn't lie, so again as my blush crept back onto my cheeks, I went to tell my story, this time telling the truth. 'Sorry, I stayed up late and then woke up really late, sorry again'.

Miss Torres looked at me again, as if looking to see whether I was lying or telling the truth. 'Ok, well I really didn't want to do this on the first day but you've got detention after school to make up for missing the first half an hour. You can go take a seat now, your timetable is on your desk as I believe your friends saved you a seat'.

With that she looked at me again for a second, almost studying my face, before turning around and going to open the door, looking back just as my eyes had crept down to look at her perfectly shaped ass. Shit! I looked up, said sorry and then walked past her into the classroom with the biggest blush on my cheeks before taking my seat, which happened to be at the back, with Bella on my left and Sophia and Miley on my right. I gave Bella an apologetic look before mouthing, 'I got detention' and she shook her head. I looked to my right to see my friends smirking at me, why can't they ever be late either. I groaned as I looked down at my schedule to see I had double maths, break, history, science, and then after lunch, English and then art. I had to get through the whole day before I had my favourite subject, Art. It was only when Miss Torres told us to start getting ready to go that I glanced down to see who was teaching Art, Miss Torres. Great!

As the bell went, Bella stood up beside me, leant over and gave me a quick kiss on my lips, which I then glanced over to look at Miss Torres who was stood at the door looking. As our eyes locked with each other, I noticed she had a shocked expression on her face. Well that's great, she probably hates gay people.

Yeah, if you haven't noticed, I'm gay, and Bella is my sort of girlfriend, more my old friend who became my summer hook-up. As she noticed she'd been starting, she turned to the other students and started to say bye to them as they left the class. As we were at the back, as I made my way towards the door, Bella grabbed hold of my hand and I noticed Miss Torres look down at our hands quickly, screwing up her face ever so slightly, and then turning away before looking up again.

'Have a good day girls, don't forget your detention after school Alex'.

I nodded before grunting as we made our way out the door. I turned to look at Bella who looked pissed. Jeez what is this girls problem, all we do is meet up with each other, 'talk' and 'watch a movie' before we end up making out and having sex. We barely do anything else.

'Lexxxx!', what is it with people dragging my name out today. 'You got detention, I've got work this evening, we won't have enough to meet up!'.

'Sorry Bells, I couldn't help it, you kept me up too late last night baby'. I smirked at her, knowing my charm usually worked a treat over her, and in turn, she smirked back at me before grabbing me by the waist and kissing me. I have to say, I don't really have any feelings for her other than friendship with the added bonus of benefits, but she is an amazing kisser, and as I placed my arms around her neck, sliding my hands into her hair, she groaned into my mouth before hearing someone clearing their throat.

We turned to see Miss Torres stood at the door looking at us. Shit. She looked away before clearing her throat again, glaring at me, 'Girls, get to class please, don't want another detention do we Alex?'.

I shook my head before grabbing Bella's hand and heading towards our first lesson. The rest of the day was as boring as normal, me and my friends went off to have a smoke during break at the back of school as Bella went off to meet with her cheerleading friends. The next two subjects were just as boring so I put my headphones in and got my iPod out, putting my Demi Lovato playlist on and scribbling away in my drawing notebook. I couldn't help but think back to Miss Torres' reaction to me kissing Bella this morning, she was definitely shocked, I couldn't tell if it was because she was uncomfortable about seeing us make out, or just disgusted that she saw two girls kissing. I wonder if there's any way I can bring it up in our detention tonight without being too obvious about what I was talking about. I just hope I don't stutter like I have been doing with her today already.

Lunch came around soon enough and I made my way to the cafeteria to join my friends for lunch, there was a big group of us who sat together, because Bella was a cheerleader, a lot of her friends would join us, plus there was Sophia and her boyfriend Nick, and Miley and her boyfriend Jake, along with some of their guy friends. We occupied two big long tables at the back of the hall and most people would stay away with us. I'm fairly popular at school, not because I want to be, more just because of my 'I don't care' laidback attitude I have to life. That and the fact that half the girls in the school seem to want to hook-up with me! I don't really understand why, I've always been fairly nice, and I have good friends, but a lot of kids here find me intimidating, and I guess that just made me a lot more popular. I have a lot of issues at home and personally so I like to stick to the same friends, which made it easier to be with Bella, as we were already friends. I don't do relationships, it's too much stress on my already stressful life. The only person who knows about my home life is Sophia. She's been my best friend since we bumped into each other on the first day of kindergarten, so 12 years later and she knows everything there is to know about me.

When we had 10 minutes left of lunch, I quickly kissed Bella bye before grabbing Miley and Sophia and going off to have a quick smoke before the bell went. Me and Sophia were in English together so we said bye to Miley and made our way to the lesson. 'How'd you manage to be late on the first day idiot?'

'It's not my fault alright, Bells kept me up most of the night with that wicked tongue of hers and then I got high as a kite'

'Ughh Lexie please, that is waaaaay too much information for my ears to handle, I know you have a good sex life but leave it in the bedroom please'

'Ohh please little miss innocent, you and Nick would fuck each other all day long if you could', I made a gesture with my hand which made her punch me in the arm before laughing at me.

'Doesn't mean I have to talk about it though'.

We got to English and our teacher told us about the new book we were going to be doing this term, 'The Kite Runner', so as any good Senior class teacher would do, she stuck the dvd on and we watched the first 45 minutes of the film. I'd already watched it a few times before so after a while I felt Sophia nudge me and she passed a piece of paper over.

'I forgot to ask, how's everything at home since last week?'

'Ok I guess, dad's gone off with his bimbo again after sticking around for the summer and getting his money from the shop, mum's started drinking again and she hit me last night that's why I went to Bella's and was late today and didn't come home til 3am'.

'Oh Lexie, remember you can stay with me whenever you need too, remember my mum knows there's issues and she loves you to pieces'

'Well doesn't everyone? ;)'

'Cheeky ;) How are you though?'

'Alright I guess, looking out for Max the poor kid, he's starting to realise everything that's happening. But I'm ok, I promise :)'

Just as Sophia was about to pass me a note back, our teacher flicked the light on, told us to go and buy the book and start reading, then sent us off to our last lesson. I stood outside talking to Sophia as she made sure that I really was okay and that I needed to stop smoking weed and getting high. I was the only one who smoked that, not at school but the others just did normal cigarettes. We ended up talking until second bell and then I realised I was late. For Art. With Miss Torres. Shit!

I literally legged it to the class the other side of the school to be the last one in the hall and the door closed. Crap! I made my way to the door and as I walked in and about to apologise for being late, she stopped doing roll call, without even looking up, and asked me to wait outside with that stern voice again. Ughhhh! How did she even know it was me, I know I'm normally late but she was still doing roll call and I'm not the only student in this school who goes to classes late. Just as I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed rather loudly, I heard her clearing her throat again and stood facing me with her arms crossed. How did she get there without me hearing!?

'Alex! Late again, you're really not making a very good impression are you? Mr O'Connor warned me about your behaviour and attitude when he realised I had you for tutor and Art but really, twice on the first day?'

I scoffed at that, of course Mr O'Connor would be going around warning everyone about me. Prick!

'Of course he would!'

'And what do you mean by that?'

I looked down before sighing and saying, 'Nothing, can I go in now please?'

She did that whole trying to look at me and figuring me out look again before standing back and letting me go past, not before adding, 'this means you've got an extra 15 minutes on your detention today, nice start!'

I rolled my eyes with my back to her and made my way to a back bench so I could sit on my own, Art is the only subject where I like to be on my own, I'm fairly good at it, not to brag, but I find it an easy way to get my emotions out without actually telling people. I talk to Sophia enough, but I don't go deep, that is not Alex Russo's style.

I got my essential things out and looked up as Miss Torres began to speak, with me listening to each and every word intently. 'Afternoon class, if you don't know me already my name is Miss Torres and I'll be teaching you this year. I figured a good way to get to know each other would be to do a quick drawing, so on the piece of paper in front of you, I want you to draw something from a favourite holiday of yours, and then explain it to the class, whether it's a symbol of where it is, something you did, the people you went with, you've got 10 minutes to get going. And don't worry, this is to do with a topic for the next term. Ok well get drawing then'.

And with that I got my pencil out and started to draw my favourite memory from my favourite holiday. It was Mexico about 5 years ago with my whole family visiting my Grandparents from my Mum's side of the family. It was long before all our family trouble started and when Max was only 5 years old. I drew the view of the beach, as if I'm looking out from far behind and looking down at all my family sitting around on the sand and laughing. My main focus though was the background, the sea and the buildings off to the right, and more specifically, a bench and tree where I spend most of my summers drawing and escaping. Just as I finished up my sketch, Miss Torres stood up from her seat and came around to sit on the front of her desk. Why is she so hot, and what's even better, I don't think she even realises it. With all my staring, she had glanced over at me and a smile formed on her face.

'Alex, why don't you start first?'

Crap, I stood up and made my way to the front of the class and stood next to her desk, far away as possible before showing my drawing around to the class.

'Erm well, this is from a holiday to Mexico about 5 years ago visiting my Grandparents with my family. We went every summer until 2 years ago but this sticks out more as my little brother Max had just turned 5 and understood more about where we were so we had a lot of fun together. This is my view as I stand back looking and this is all my family sitting down on the sand, and erm, yeah'.

I turned to look at Miss Torres who was looking back at me with intrigue in her eyes. 'Wow Alex, that's amazing for a quick sketch, nobody told me you were great at Art'.

I rolled my eyes again, as usual. 'Well they wouldn't, our last teacher was a crank who knew nothing about Art'. With that I earned a few laughs from the rest of the class and turned to Miss Torres who looked like she was trying hard not to laugh aswell. 'Ok well Alex, that's a great drawing and everything, but why is it your favourite? Why is it significant?'

'Erm well, it's not necessarily my family it's about, it's erm, about the tree and more so the bench in the background, and my view to the sea. Erm I used to go every day and draw the sea and the location. There was never one day that was the same. That's it really'.

I turned to look at Miss Torres, and yet again my blush crept back onto my cheeks as I noticed her staring at me with her mouth open into a small 'o' shape. With that I made my way back to my seat and listened as Miss Torres got everyone else to take their turn. As quick as the lesson started, we started to pack our stuff away just as the bell went signalling the end of day. Not quite for me, my 45 minute detention was about to start. I text my mum quickly to say i'd be late and then I stayed sat in my seat tracing my finger onto my drawing when I heard a stool scraping the floor and looked up to see Miss Torres had come and sat next to me. I hadn't even realised the class was empty and the door was closed I was in that much of a daydream.

'Penny for your thoughts?'

I looked down and laughed again before looking at her again, unsure of what to say. I just assumed I'd sit here for 45 minutes whilst she got on and did whatever she needed too.

'Alex, are you okay?'

'Hmm, yeah I'm fine. Just tired'

'Oh yeah, your late night! Anything to do with that Bella girl?'

Well that was weird, why would she assume straight away it was anything to do with that, even if it was right.. and the way she said 'that Bella girl'. I blushed again before answering, why does she do that to me!

'Erm I guess kind of!'

'Sooo, is she your girlfriend? Or do you just make out with anyone?'

I burrowed my brows, either she's assuming or she's heard a lot about me. Noticing my delayed reaction, she must've realised what she said as she threw her hand to her mouth and her eyes went wide.

'Alex I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that, I didn't even realise what I'd said! I'm so sorry that was so inappropriate and…'

I cut her off with, 'look it's fine don't worry, I'm sure you've heard all about me and the way I am. It's nothing new for teachers to not like me'.

'Alex honey', she called me honey... 'I don't dislike you. I actually find you rather interesting, especially your little talk earlier. I suppose I have heard stuff but it's none of my business. I'm really sorry, nothing to do with me'.

She looked away guiltily before looking back at me again, 'you can go now, I'll see you tomorrow Alex, don't be late'. Weird, that was definitely not 45 minutes. I got up and grabbed my stuff before making my way to the door, as I went to grab the handle, I turned around to talk to her again as she made her way to her desk shaking her head. 'It's fine honestly miss, and by the way, no, she's not my girlfriend'. With that I smiled at her and waved bye, not before turning back and seeing her taking her seat with a confused look on the face, noticing an ever so small smile.

Hope that was okay, let me know what you think. Also, as i'm from England, could someone explain how a typical school day goes in America... as in how many lessons you have in a day, how long you have for breaks and lunches, and how long each lessons are typically? Thanks!
