Lost & Found

Chapter One - Memories

A she walked up to those familiar, large doors of East High, memories started to shoot past her eyes. It was 8 years ago today when she had first walked through those doors as the new girl in Albuquerque, and now she felt like the new girl again... she was. Gabriella Montez was the new English teacher at East High. She was replacing Ms Darbus, who wasn't to happy to go, but was glad that someone as brilliant as Gabriella was replacing her.

A lot of things had happened through those doors, some good, some bad. But all where memories, which she had put behind her, no matter how hard it was. When she was the pupil she had been an excellent student, and nothing had stopped her or distracted her, not even her then boyfriend, Troy.

She suddenly felt a tear trickle round the edge of her eye. She quickly wiped it away. That was what usually happened - whenever she thought of him.

Remembering why she had arrived early, she pushed back the tears, thoughts and doors of East High and walked down the long corridor to the School Office.

"Good Morning, Gabriella" a smiley assistant said.
"Good Morning Anne" she replied, acting as happy as possible.
"Excited about your first day, dear?"

"Oh yes, I've waited a long time for this to happen, but now it's finally here, I'm a bit nervous."She added shyly.
"Nothing to worry about, dear, you'll be fine, your going to be a great teacher, everyone will love you!" Anne said encouragingly.
"I hope so!"

She quickly signed a sheet of paper which marked her into the school, grabbed her keys, and hurried off down the corridor the her English classroom. She felt awful. Not only was she nervous, but she had hoped that none of the memories of the last 8 years had come back to her, she didn't need any of that today. She composed herself and unlocked the door to her new classroom. It wasn't really new, she had sat there a lot of times when she had been a pupil. She sat her bags down under her desk and looked around the familiar room. It felt exactly the same. It had the same air. In a strange sort of way it felt like home.

Her eyes landed on the back row, third desk to the right. It was her old desk. She wandered over to the desk, sat down innocently, and let her finger gently touch the wood. This room, this desk, this school. She wondered if she was ready to be back here. As she looked around the room at the artwork, and everything in it. Her eyes landed on a desk, his desk and her eyes filled with tears once again. For once she let them roll down her cheeks. She knew she shouldn't be she couldn't be bothered with not letting her emotions out.

She woke from her thoughts at the knock on the door. She quickly tried to stop the tears.

"Come in" She called.
"Thanks... I'm just here to deliver your register, here it is -- are you ok?" a young woman asked.
"Yes, I'm fine, just a lot of memories are coming back to me, that's all" she replied.
"Ok... well if you ever need to talk to anyone I'm here. I'm Samantha by the way, Maths teacher."

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind, Samantha."

Samantha walked out the door, leaving Gabriella with her thoughts. She grabbed a tissue and started to get to work. After 20 minutes of figuring out where everything was kept, and making sure everything was ready, she sat down. Running a finger through a lock of her short, curly, chocolate hair, she thought about the day to come. Her first day as a teacher hadn't exactly started well.

The school bell started to ring and she could here the children's footsteps starting to clatter through the doors. The day was about to begin...
