Nicole Cappadora was a beautiful twenty-four year old. She was white with dark brown hair and light blue eyes. She wasn't very tall but she was very athletic. She was originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but had recently moved to Rosewood, Pennsylvania to be the new tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade English teacher, as well as the girls varsity soccer coach. She'd only been in town for two days but almost everywhere she went she saw missing persons posters for a young girl by the name of Alison DiLaurentis. It was the first day of classes at Rosewood High. Nicole's third period class had just arrived. As she'd been doing since the start of the day she introduced herself.

"Hello class, my name is Miss Cappadora." "For those of you who play soccer, I am the girls new varsity coach." "First things first, let's take roll." She was going down the list. "Emily Fields?"

"Here." Emily said.

She named a few more people. "Spencer Hastings?"

"Here." Spencer said.

She continued down the list. "Hanna Marin?"

"Here." Hanna said.

"Aria, I hope I said that right, Montgomery?"

"Here." Aria said. "You said it right."

Nicole had just finished taking roll.

"Today is going to be very easy." She said. "I'd like to hear what during summer break." "Any volunteers?"

Later that day during lunch period Nicole was in the cafeteria getting a drink for the soda machine.

"Excuse me." She heard a man's voice say. She turned around. The first thing that she noticed were his beautiful blue eyes. "You're the new teacher right?"

"Yes and girls varsity soccer coach." "I'm Nicole Cappadora."

"I'm Ian Thomas." "I'm the field hockey coach.

"It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you to." They continued to talk.

Spencer was sitting thirty feet away at a lunch table with Aria, Emily and Hanna. She looked over and saw Nicole and Ian talking.

"Figures." Spencer said.

"What?" Hanna said. They all turned to see what Spencer was looking at. "I'm not surprised."

"Me either." "Ian and Miss Cappadora might make a good couple though."

Meanwhile the conversation continued between Nicole and Ian.

"Since you're new in town maybe I could show you around." Ian said. "We could get dinner."

"I'm sorry Ian you seem like a nice guy but I don't date co-workers."

"Can we still be friends?"

"Sure."

Later that night Nicole was at home unpacking. Her cell phone started to ring.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hi." Her older sister Kate said.

"Hi."

"How was your first day?"

"Good." "I think I'm gonna like it here."

"Meet anyone?"

"Yeah but it doesn't count." "I met him at work."

"Don't go down that road again." "That's how you got in trouble last time."

"I know." "I'm not." "No matter how gorgeous he is."

"How old is he?"

"I think around my age."

"What's his name?"

"Ian."
