Timeline: This is totally AU! No aliens and no Torchwood Hub!
Author's Note: This is my first time writing an AU of Torchwood! I hope it is good and will get reviews! Also, the classes for the college will be based on the school that I go to. Some of you may know the classes, some of you may not. NO FLAMES!
Ianto Jones looked up at the college that he was staring at in the map. He had just graduated high school a month ago and now he was entering college as a freshman. He was nervous on his first day of school. Granted, college wouldn't be anything like high school, but he didn't know what to expect. This semester, he had four classes that he was taking for the fall. It was: English 50, Math 35, Speech 1, and CIS-1A. His major was computers as he had always been good with computers ever since he could remember. He looked at his first class of the day on his schedule as it was English 50. English 50 was every Monday and Wednesday with a teacher name Jack Harkness.
Before he joined the class, he had searched the website titled: ratemyprofessor and there he searched for Jack Harkness. Apparently, many students commented that he was fun to be with and that he was super hot. It was an easy class to get an easy 'A' and he hoped that was true. Jack Harkness was popularity among students in the school and that many students find it difficult to register for his other English classes as students around wants to be in his class first hand. That was another true factor as Ianto was lucky enough to get inside his class as the computer kept freezing up every time he tries to register.
There were about twenty-five students in the class and he hoped that not all of the students were women and that he was the only male student. That would be too embarrassing for him. Not long he was staring at the door of the classroom he supposed to go in. His classroom was Quad #255 and class should be starting soon as the time was 2:05PM and class started at 2:10PM. He was at the nick of time. He took a deep breath before entering the classroom. He sighed in relieved as there was about the same amount of male and female students in the classroom talking to one another.
He looked around the classroom as he saw an empty desk sitting in front of the teacher's desk in the middle of the row. He groaned in desperation as he sat at the only desk that was available for him. He hated sitting in the front and yet alone, in front of the teacher's desk. "Your not from here, are you?" A voice asked as Ianto turned and saw a Japanese woman staring at him with a smile.
"My family moved here from Cardiff, England about three years ago. And you are...?" Ianto asked.
"Toshiko Sato," The woman replied as she raised an eyebrow, "I should ask your name also," she added.
"You sound British yourself," Ianto commented, "and my name's Ianto Jones. My first day of college," he said as the two shook hands.
"Really? Many first year students starts out with English 60A and not English 50 due to the exam that they had to take before entering the college. I took the exam and I guess my English skills are good enough that it put me in English 50," Toshiko said.
"The same thing happened with me. By the way, where are you from England?" Ianto asked.
Toshiko smiled, "I'm actually from Cardiff as well. I've been here longer than you have though. Six years to be exact," she added.
Ianto was about to say something but the door opened to the classroom as every one quieted down and Ianto turned to look to see who had came inside. His mouth might have dropped down as he saw a handsome bloke coming in as he had black hair and blue eyes as he came inside carrying a briefcase. The man saw Ianto staring at him as he smiled back and Ianto swore he would have fainted right there if he was standing up.
Ianto watched the man as he stood behind the desk and put the briefcase on top of the table. "My name is Jack Harkness and welcome to English 50," the man introduced himself, "we won't be staying in class that long today as it is the first day..." Jack began as he heard some groaning in the background and he tries not to chuckle himself. "I will be handing out the syllabus out to each and one of you and one-by-one we will introduce ourselves to get to know one another. Also pick a partner and that partner will be with you for the rest of your semester as we will be having presentations and group editing for our papers. So choose carefully," Jack finished.
As soon as all of the syllabus was handed out, students began to introduce themselves and Ianto looked up at Jack as it was his turn to say something about himself. "My name is Ianto Jones and I came from Cardiff, England. We moved here three years ago because of my sister's job. My major is Computer Information System and I hope to transfer to a Cal State or a school that has my major," Ianto finished. Ianto was still looking at Jack who was staring at him.
"I hope you are having a wonderful time here, Ianto Jones," Jack said smiling. Ianto didn't say anything as the student behind him began to tell about herself. Finally it was time to pick out partners.
Ianto turned to look at Toshiko, "Do you want to be partners?" He asked.
"Of course," Toshiko replied with a smile and Ianto returned that smile as the two talked to one another while the other students were still choosing their partners. Unknown to Ianto, he was being watched by Jack.
Class was soon over and Ianto was sorry to go as he and Toshiko left the classroom together without noticing the look that Jack was giving to Ianto. "I think Professor Harkness is smitten with you," Toshiko began as she and Ianto were sitting at a bench in the Quad.
Ianto's next class doesn't start until 5:30PM so he had plenty of time to talk to Toshiko as it was barely 3:35PM as English 50 supposed to end at 4:30PM. "W-What?" He stammered out as he looked at Tosh.
Toshiko smirked, "C'mon Ianto! Don't tell me you didn't noticed! His been staring at you ever since he came inside the classroom! He may have a thing for you," she said.
"Isn't that illegal?" Ianto asked without even thinking of what he was saying.
"Not unless your off age. How old are you, anyway?" Toshiko asked.
"I'm eighteen," Ianto replied.
"That's good then. I think Professor Harkness is around thirty-something," Toshiko said.
"And that's not old?" Ianto asked.
"Does it matter?" Toshiko asked with an eyebrow raise.
Ianto shrugged, "I guess not," he muttered.
"I better get going. I promise my lover, Owen that I'll be back home early. English 50 is my last class for today," Toshiko explained. Ianto raised an eyebrow at that confession of her and her lover. "I'll tell you about that on Wednesday or tomorrow if we see each other. Bye Ianto!" Toshiko said as she left and Ianto waved good-bye.
Ianto stretched and groaned. How was he going to face Professor Harkness on Wednesday now that he knows that he was staring at him? He doesn't even know if he was gay or not! He sighed as tomorrow was Tuesday and thus it was a good thing he wasn't seeing him. Or would he...? Ianto shook his head as he had about an hour and a half before his next class starts and decided to go to the library to read. I hope tomorrow would be a good day, he thought and with that said, he tries to forget Jack Harkness until Wednesday.
TBC...
me: My first time putting up a story that isn't done yet! I usually put up a story if it's done and save it on my USB drive. But I guess I want to do something different, y'know?
Ianto: It looks good so far.
Jack: We'll be onto the next chapter soon.
Toshiko: Review and update!
