I don't own Samantha, Rebecca or any American girl related things, wish I did but I don't.
"So who do think our new teacher will be?" Rebecca asked her best friend Rose with her eyes glued to the door. "I don't know but I hope they won't be mad at me for not having my homework done." Rose said while holding her almost done math sheet up. Rebecca couldn't help but let out a slight laugh. "It not funny." Rose half yelled, that of course that made Rebecca laugh just a bit more. "You forget to add the s to its Rose." Rose cocked her head at this. "She's right you know." A strange voice said from the front of the room, making Rebecca whirl around in her seat. There standing in front of the chalk board stood a woman in her early twenties with shoulder length brown curls, her eye's seemed to have a laughing twinkle to them. "Are you our new teacher?" Leo yelled from the back of the room. "Yes." She responded. "My name is Ms Parkington and I will be here with you until the end of the year" "Are you even qualified." Leo once again shouted, causing many of the boys to laugh and Rebecca to role her eyes. Ms Parkington walked around her desk to Leo's set. "What is your name young man?" She asked him. "Leo, Leo Berg." "Well Leo I am hoping that we can find a way to get along, don't you." Leo shrunk down his seat. Ms Parkington turned around and walked back to her desk. "Please open up your math books and turn to page 27. Please do problems 5-30." The class erupted in groans but did as they were told.
Samantha's POV:
I never realized a room full of 10 year old's could ever be so exhausting. As I was straitening up my papers one of the girls believe her name was Rebecca came to up to my desk. I gave her a smile as she approached. "Can I help you Rebecca?" I asked politely. "I just thought I should tell you to pay no mind to Leo he is just a pain in the side." Rebecca responded. I had to smile at that. About 10 years ago I told Nellie the sane thing about Eddie. Oh I hope Leo isn't too much like Eddie, I don't think the world needs another Eddie. "I'm afraid I can't do that Rebecca." She looked upset at first but then understanding. "Well I thought I should just tell you anyway." And with that she grabbed her books and left humming to herself. Once all my papers were in order I walked to the coat closet and grabbed my coat, gloves and scarf. The November weather had been quite bad lately. I walked in silence all the way to my row house which was the only one with a set of lions out front. The cold air seemed to seep into the building a bit as the steps were very cold. When I got to my apartment I unlocked the door and went in. The room was a bit warmer but not much so I went to my room and grabbed a shawl. After that I made some tea and graded the kids homework. I just hope they will be better tomorrow.
An: I've always kind of wondered if Samantha and Rebecca would have ever met since they both lived in such close time periods. This is sort of my take on it. I'm not sure if I will keep writing this or not. Let me know if you think I should continue it.
