So, here I am with my new story. I hope you like it. If you want to see I made a Polyvore edit for Tony. It's in the collection for 'other stories' but the links on my profile aren't working as fanfiction's acting up again. So if you want to see it, pm or write it in a review and I'll find a way for you to find it.

Tony is portrayed by Isabela Moner

"So," I pointed to the three photos that I had hung on the board. Hitler, Roosevelt and Einstein. "These three did some… very ordinary and huge things when they were alive. Hitler did some very, very bad things. Roosevelt did… yes?"

In the middle of my speech the door to the classroom had opened and a girl with dark hair and tanned skin tip- toed in. Just as I had asked and she was going to answer she coughed and I waited not- too- patiently before she was finished and then she answered me.

"Is this history?" I nodded. "I think I'm supposed to be in this class…" I leaned over my desk and riffled in my papers for the class list and looked up again to get her name. "Antonia Cooper." I nodded at her and drew a line on the paper to show that she had been here. "So…"She looked around for an empty seat and it seemed like she was saying something more but she was cut off by a coughing fit and I walked over to her and patted her back slightly.

"Here's an empty seat." I gestured to the one next to Maya's desk. "Are you okay?" I didn't really know why I asked that next. But I was the teacher so why wouldn't I? Also, I'd probably regret it my whole life. "Maybe you shouldn't have come to school today. I've got a long break after this lesson so if you want to I can give you a ride home."

Antonia looked up at me with big, scared- looking eyes. And from the first moment it was clear to me that anything as long as I didn't take her home. But I didn't have the time to say anything else before Maya interrupted.

"Oh, I'm sure she's fine. Aren't you? And I'm sure she'd like to hear all about what you were on your way of saying when she came in. Even I want to hear it so…" I shook my head at Maya. "No… I just want to get it over with so we can go and get a longer break." I chuckled slightly and looked back at Antonia who was pulling her backpack. A big purple one printed with flowers. And didn't look as something out of this century and hung it onto the back of her chair before she pulled out a notebook and pencil and looked to the front of the classroom as if she really wanted to hear what I was saying next about the men on the pictures hanging in the front. So while she coughed another few times I turned towards the board and walked over before I started talking again.

"These three. Hitler, Roosevelt and Einstein all did some very great things when they were alive. Hitler some terrible things. Roosevelt some very good things. And Einstein was just a very smart guy." In the last few words I tried to make myself sound funny, but didn't succeed and no one laughed. In fact Riley seemed kind of embarrassed and the urge to go on with that was just too strong to let it go. "And here we've got a very embarrassing dad."

Riley grimaced, moaned and hit her head in the table. "Don't worry honey. I'm not going to do anything else now. But what I want you all to do. Is to write an essay. It doesn't matter how long or how short or in what style. About a man, a father figure, a brother, a boyfriend. Anyone who's a male and in your life. Anyone who you think could make history. Or would want to make history about."

"So what if we've got no one to write about?"

I had almost expected Maya to ask this. Her dad wasn't in the picture, and she didn't have a brother. The closest thing might be her pet ferret Ginger… But I actually didn't know if that was a male or a female.

"I kind of want to know that too Mr…. That girl's dad."

I couldn't help to chuckle slightly at the new girl who hadn't learnt my name yet. But had obviously snatched up that I was Riley's dad because she nodded to the right girl making her statement.

"I'm sure you'll find someone Maya. And…"

I tried to continue but was cut off by Maya once again.

"Oh, my dad's name is Kermit. That's reason enough for me not to make this about him. I don't want to make about him and I'm not going to make about him. Who else am I supposed to make about?" Maya crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back. While I tried to find a good enough answer for her question.

"Make it about me."

Riley winced and I couldn't help but laugh. Especially not when she said what she said that next. "I'll make mine about Auggie." I guess I was just an embarrassing dad I too sometimes and I smiled and turned to the new girl.

"My name is Matthews. Cory Matthews. And yours? Miss Cooper?" The girl sighed and stood up and glanced over the classroom in a way that made it seemed like she owned every little piece of this classroom and everybody in here before she opened her mouth to say something else.

"My name is Tony. And if I ever hear someone call me Miss Cooper, or Antonia or God knows what else I will snap that person's head off. Get it?" She glanced around her again making it very clear to everybody that this wasn't just a threat. And so slumped back in her chair and I… as the teacher felt I should very much be saying something. Even though it took me a while to find the right words and I stepped over to Tony's bench and looked sternly down at her.

"I don't know what it was like where you were before." I told her. And with such a stern voice I barely even recognized it myself. "But I'm going to make an exception this one time. But if I ever hear you use such language again. I will call for the principle and there will be consequences. Am I making myself clear?" Tony didn't even seem to mind. "Am I being clear?"

"Fine, yes."

Tony's voice was still rude but I decided to let it go for this time. Being new in a school where you barely knew anything- and as far as I heard she had just moved to Manhattan as well. So for now I let it go and turned back to my teaching. And didn't mind that Tony too had asked who on earth she would write about.

I gave the kids some time towards the end of the lesson to just sit and take notes about what they wanted to do. And right away it was what it almost always was. Farkle wrote as if his life was depending on it. Maya sat with pencil in her hand and sketching on a paper. While Lucas and Riley seemed to take a few notes and the rest of the time sat and wondered. Although I had never really seen anything like this new girl before.

Tony sat with her feet on the desk, leaning back and playing games on her phone. With sound on and still coughing and sniffing what felt like at least three times a second. And if that wasn't enough the sound from her phone was really annoying to the other students. And I was already starting to lose my patience with this girl.

At last, after a certainly loud and high- pitched noise from the phone I decided that enough was enough and I stood up and stomped over to the desk and pulled the phone out of her hand. The look on her face was undeniable, but soon she had pulled herself together and the usual 'I don't even care' look was back on her expression.

"You'll get this back when class is over."

Tony looked at me as if I had gone completely mad and crazy. And seemed to believe looking at me that way as if she thought it would make me give in and hand her her phone back.

Which it almost did. And not to give her the phone back I had to turn around. Put the phone in the desk drawer and slam it before I turned back to Tony who had started playing with her pencil and spun it around her fingers.

"Oh, don't you look at me like that." She noticed me looking at her. "Believe me. You don't want to know anything about any of the men in my life." I hesitated. I really didn't want to start a discussion in front of everybody.

"Don't you have a dad or a grandpa or a brother or anyone?"

Suddenly Tony's expression changed. Not only changed, it went dark and she mostly threw her feet down to the floor. And suddenly she was standing with her hands on my desk leaning towards me with a fire burning in her eyes. That could mean nothing else that she was going to make something very, very clear. And from what I could see of the class with Tony's face two centimeters from mine, everyone had gotten very sneaky and was turning towards the desk.

"Don't you never ever, mention my brother ever again." She grabbed a wooden pencil and held it in between her hands. "Because if you do. I will do this again, but with somebody's neck." She snapped the pencil off in two pieces. "And guess who's? Am I making myself clear?"

Tony's voice was dark, as good as wheezing. And it took my all not to show that in fact I was very much frightened of this girl. And I was probably still showing it anyway. Because it felt like forever before she started coughing again and didn't have much choice than to pull away from me just as the bell rang and she turned and walked over to the desk to get her bag again while I unwillingly grabbed her phone from the desk drawer and handed it back to her.

"I will let this go for this time." I told her. "Everything. Because I know being the new kid isn't easy and such things brings out the worst in people. But if you have another teacher. Or another time, you should consider what you say a bit more. Or you might get in trouble that you could never as good as imagine. Now, am I making myself clear?"

Tony just shrugged and didn't seem to be able to care less before she grabbed the phone and threw her backpack over her shoulder. A centimeter or two from hitting my head with it and left the room. The kids had their lunch break now I knew and so did I. So I just slumped down into the chair and leaned my elbows against the desk and put my head in my hands.

What on earth was going on with this kid?

What on earth had happened to her to make her be like… that?

"Hey, Matthews." I heard on her voice and what she called me already before I looked up that it was Maya and I looked up to see that I had been right. "I need to speak to you for a minute." She came through the room and sat down on her desk. "About this new girl Tony."

"Maya, do you realize she's like ten times worse than you? No, a thousand times worse than you. And she's only been here for like half an hour." I sighed and hit my head down towards my desk. "And that says something."

"Very funny Matthews."

I looked up and rested my chin on my hand and sighed before I decided to go straight on the conversation. "What was it that you wanted to talk to me about May?" I made a quite failed attempt to smile at her. "Do you need someone to write that essay about and decided to do it about me?" Maya just shook her head at that. "So what can I do for you?"

"Look! I don't know this girl Tony, Matthews. But I know she needs help and something is very wrong. And I know that if there's anyone who can find out what is going on and help her with it. It's you. And you won't give up until you've helped her. Because that's what you do. And I also won't let you. Because whatever is going on she needs help… from someone who really cares."

"You're sneaky?"

"Yes."

"Then it's to help Tony. And not to help you with your sneakiness. Because I kind of had a feeling too. But I just thought it was only me."

So. That's the introduction chapter for you. Wow, Tony really is a handful! I hope you liked it, and I'd love to know what you thought. Oh and it might be that you guys should know but English isn't my first language.

Random fact

When I watch girl meets world it's dubbed to Swedish, which sucks! But to learn a bit more about how some different characters talk and things I went on YouTube and watched episodes. So I hope I got it somewhat right.
