Chapter 1: Did You See The New Teacher?

Fang's P.O.V.

I sat down in my chair and waited for the bell to ring. Winter break was finally over and Second semester has finally come. New kids enter and everyone has new grades and classes. We even have a new teacher even though I haven't met them yet, they applied for Gym/Health teacher since the last teacher quit over the break. The Principal interviewed people and we finally got someone right before winter break ended.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The bell finally rang and students came in making a loud racket. I have been getting headaches ever since I started working here which was 2 years ago. Once everyone settled down (It was 4th period which is right after lunch so why not expect racket).

"Okay class! Settle down, settle down!" I called out, and then waited for everyone to get quiet.

"Alright class would you rather have me take attendance or start with introductions?"

"Attendance! Attendance! Attendance!"

"Ok let's start off, Abby Arboreta?"

"Here!"

"Sam Carter?"

"Here I Am." after calling a long list of names I found out only 3 people was absent.

"Only Jason, Zack, and Kylee are absent. Ok now for introductions. I know you kids have been here like most of the year but most of you have had Mrs. Belknap, the other English teacher. I'm Mr. Walker I've only taught you kids for 2years and I like my job. If you guys are ok with it I have things done in a proper order and-"

"What's up Mr. W!" Jason said coming in.

"I knew that you were the Jason in my class, anyways you're late."

"Yeah I know…"

"And on the first day of the 2nd semester…"

"Sorry, anyways get back to your talking?"

"Okay… I think that was all I was going to say. You guys can sit and chat and meet with your friends but next time I'm going to hand out an assignment." After I spoke they all went to talking and I just sat there really bored. I zoned out everyone's conversations except for this one strange one…

"Hey man, did you see new teacher?"

"Ms. Ride? Aw dude! She is fine! She works out too and is fresh out of college." Some of my students said.

"I know, man she's hot."

"Yeah she is. I dropped my pencil to see if she'd bend over but all I got was a stare." finally the bell rang; I guess the new teacher was young and attractive…

*Finally School Day Ends*

Still Fang's P.O.V.

I walked to the copy room to copy some pages that I'll need for tomorrow when I saw someone right next to the copy machine using it she was a dirty blonde with sun-streaks, she was wearing a white t-shirt with running shorts. Once she got her pages she picked them up and turned around finally noticing I was there.

"Oh sorry I didn't realize you were there sorry!" she said, I chuckled quietly.

"Oh no, its fine no need to apologize, all teachers need to copy millions of papers. Hi you must be the New Teacher everyone is talking about. Ms. Ride I presume?" I took out my hand and she shook it. She was very pretty, looked fresh out of college, chocolate brown eyes with freckles splashed on her nose.

"Yeah, ha-ha I didn't know I was the talk of the day, Mr. Nineteenth century dude. And you are?" I was shocked for a second, and noticed I talked formally at the end of my sentence…well that was stupid of me.

"I'm Fang-No! I mean, Nicholas! Actually Nick! Ah! Mr. Walker." I stuttered, she giggled and I grunted trying not to blush. It's unmanly.

"So you're Fang, Nicholas, Nick, and Mr. Walker?" she said as if she practiced it.

"No, I apologize. I am called Fang by my friends and family, Nicholas is my real name and students know me as Mr. Walker."

"Oh nice to meet you…" it seemed as if she didn't know what to call me. Then again I did give her a lot of options.

"Just call me Fang." she wasn't a student and we maybe could become friends.

"Oh ok Fang, I'm Max." She smiled, Max played with her papers and shuffled them until they were all in place.

"Max…what a nice name. Would you maybe like to go for-"I started but she interrupted.

"Fang, I'm sorry but I have to go grade papers while watching the old games taking notes. I am so sorry but maybe some other time."

"Oh, oh yeah some other time…that be great. I have to grade papers also so yeah wait no I have no papers umm…see you around."

"Yeah, bye have a nice evening." With that she walked away, well that was a weird first impression.

Max's P.O.V.

Ok after the bell rang I got up and walked to the copy room, I needed papers for everything. Health Class, P.E. permission slips and healthy fitness calendars and stuff like that. I walked into the copy room and made 400 copies of everything. Yes I needed that much I had only 5 classes to teach but each had like 60-80 students {that's how many people I have in my class}. Some kids lose their papers so I had extras.

Finally after all the copies were made I turned around to go back to my classroom and study the basketball and football and soccer ball and volleyball and other sports because I wasn't the best teacher and I was like a working hard student taking notes every 5 seconds something is important.

As I turned around I saw a man standing there just waiting there. My eyes widened slightly, he was…he must be…a teacher? None of them were my age so I wasn't sure.

"Oh sorry I didn't realize you were there sorry!" I told him, he chuckled quietly.

"Oh no, its fine no need to apologize, all teachers need to copy millions of papers. Hi you must be the New Teacher everyone is talking about. Ms. Ride I presume?" he took out his hand and so I shook it." He really wasn't bad looking, his eyes were like a sea of darkness you could drown in.

"Yeah, ha-ha I didn't know I was the talk of the day, Mr. Nineteenth century dude. And you are?" As soon as I put my foot in my mouth I wanted to stop myself. Really Max? Are you trying to scare him off?

"I'm Fang-No! I mean, Nicholas! Actually Nick! Ah! Mr. Walker." He stuttered. I giggled and I saw blush in his olive-tone skin.

"So you're Fang, Nicholas, Nick, and Mr. Walker?" I asked.

"No, I apologize. I am called Fang by my friends and family, Nicholas is my real name and students know me as Mr. Walker." He told me, I nodded my head knowingly.

"Oh nice to meet you…" He gave me a whole bunch of names and he's expecting me to choose?

"Just call me Fang." Fang told me. I smiled, was I considered a friend?

"Oh ok Fang, I'm Max." I told him. He didn't give me a weird look or ask if it was a boy's name.

"Max…what a nice name. Would you maybe like to go for-"He said, I interrupted him.

"Fang, I'm sorry but I have to go grade papers while watching the old games taking notes. I am so sorry but maybe some other time." I Fang regretfully. It would be nice to go out and take a break but right now I was stumped. So much work on my first day.

"Oh, oh yeah some other time…that be great. I have to grade papers also so yeah, wait no I have no papers umm…see you around." I wanted to laugh at how cute he was being but then I decided that it'd be too rude.

"Yeah, bye have a nice evening." I told him. I grabbed my papers and walked off.

I got back to my studying and taking notes. I must have lost track of time because when I was finished it was 8pm. I have been working for 6hours and 45minutes! Crap I was supposed to get home early today! I grabbed my gym bag and ran out then texted Nudge.

To: Nudge

From: Max

Hey Nudge I really need a ride! Sorry that I am so late I didn't mean to work this late I just lost track of time, please come!

I set my phone down and waited for a reply, and then I heard the door open behind me and looked back.

"Oh hey Max, you need a ride?" Fang asked. I smiled, how coincidental.

"What? Oh I-"my phone started ringing (Count on Me by Bruno Mars)

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey Max I heard from Nudge you needed a ride, and Nudge is at a party right now so I could give you one right now." I heard a deep voice say on the other line.

"Dylan? Of course! Yes thank you! I love you so much!" I said. I get overexcited sometimes. I live a half hour drive from this school.

"Ha-ha got it Max, see you in 5minutes" then the line went dead.

"Oh thanks Fang but I already got a ride."

"That's great…see you tomorrow" he waved and walked off to his car.

Fang's P.O.V.

I walked out of my class room and down the hall and out the door. I saw Max sitting on the pavement with her knees curled up to her chest, and a gym bag over her shoulder, she looked over at me.

"Oh hey Max, do you need a ride?"

"What? Oh I-"she was interrupted by her phone she answered it.

"Hello…Dylan?" it must have been her boyfriend; of course she had a boyfriend. What else do you expect from a woman like that?

"I love you so much!" she squealed practically jumping up and down. She looked up at me.

"Oh thanks Fang but I already got a ride" she told me. I nodded.

"That's great…see you tomorrow" I waved goodbye, got in my car and drove away.
