# Chapter 1
A soft breeze blew through my window, it tingled over my whole body before it lightly brushed my face. I groaned; as I snarled myself more into the bed covers, and rolled over to preserve the what-was-left-over heat. I peered through the sea of white sheets as I tried to understand the blurred digits which flashed on my digital clock, my blue eyes focused and the numbers focused in my head. …7:30…"Shit"…

My feet screeched across the black tiled floor as I tore into the kitchen, my breath was ragged and I scrambled around rummaging through the cupboard searching for my 5 minuet saviour. Under the mess of single pieces of raw pasta and soup packets I felt the box, it sprang out as I grabbed it and slipped through my hands. Long, tanned, blood red finger painted hands snatched it in the spur of the moment and slammed it on the marble counter; bright green eyes glared into my orbs.
"7:50" My younger sister snapped at me as she stood head-to-head with me in her 6 inch heels, "What sort of time do you call this? We are supposed to be there at 8:00! We have been through this countless times Alec, you're the one who wanted to go there, and you're the one who begged mum and dad to stay! You can't wake up late and leave without breakfast!"
I opened my mouth to speak but she shook her head, whipping her high, black ponytail side-to-side, "Don't even think about calling these cornflakes on the go breakfast." She yelled as she waved the box clasped in her manicured fingers, "You know you can't rely on this, it's not healthy! Especially for you, if you can't look after yourself you miles awl stay at home."
I sighed then seized the box out of her hands, "I know, Jesus, Isabelle stop acting so bossy, just because mum and dad are not here doesn't mean you can tell me what to do, I woke up late, wow, big deal." I crammed the cereal into a chipped china bowl, poured the cows milk and spooned the cornflakes. Isabelle had gone red with anger, her pink plumped bottom lip trembled, and I internally waited for the big tantrum to burst out.
"What's with the constipated look?" My brother Jace sauntered in the room, his blonde long hair chopped at his shoulders shook, and his well-known smirk followed onto his face, "Oh right, of course its little Alecs feeding time…Come on Isabelle give him a break, he's older than us he can do stuff on his own" He leaned against the counter, his slender and well-built body hunched to the side as he peeled a banana.
"How can you say that? When he doesn't look after his own health or nutrition sensibly! Not even with what he has" She huffed, raised her hand to block both of our voices "Look I'm not having this talk now, wait until the evening when mum and dad get back, now MOVE…Or we will be later than yesterday!" With one more look at both of us she stalked out of the kitchen, her heels clattering against the floor.
Jace scoffed the rest of his banana, "Come on we better go before she starts screaming at us again, I don't know about you but I don't think she's angry just at you, I mean yeah she was a crazy psycho before but ever since her and Meliorn broke up she has been in her bitch mode 24/7."
I snorted and nodded my head, she had definitely turned from psycho to daemon, but I knew I would miss her when it was my time to go.

The car door edged open as I tried to avoid the shiny silver Volvo parked next to Isabelle's Mini Copper, thanks to her crazy parking skills, I managed to slide myself through the little space left.
ALICANTE INSTITUTE
The bold plaque hung of the tall, brick walls of my school, the letters shone as they caught the light of the sun. I smiled and admired the old, gothic architecture of the institute, it was one of the reasons I enjoyed coming here instead of boarded up at home. Even though I sounded like a nerd, just having a day with other people the same age as you was more inviting than watching re-runs of Teen Mom or Come dine with me.
A huge acre of green sloped down a hill in front of the school, daisies were dotted around the field which was marked with track lines, and you could see the opening to the woods that surrounded the grounds at the edge. My childhood consisted of spending most of my time here, from after school clubs to hanging out with mates in the woods. I treasured these memories more than anything, and it was part of the reason why I wanted to stay at school.
I took the stairs two-by-two to the entrance of the school; as the automatic doors swung open the sound of teenagers bombarded me and I caught the whiff of BO and body deodorant mixed together. I trudged along in a mindless daze, only half listening to my siblings as they lead me through the packed corridors.
"Yeah, the new English teacher is starting today… only 4 years older than us…well 2 years older for you two…Do you have him?...No I don't…how about you?...Alec?...ALEC!" Isabelle clicked her fingers in front of my face, I snapped out of my little bubble.
"Huh…What?" I stuttered.
"The new teacher? You taking AS English right? Do you have him?"
"Oh yeah…I do…"
"Lucky! I have to stick with the old geezer Mr. Malachi. Dammit…oh there's Clary and Simon."
Jace pounced towards our lockers, which were against the side of the wide hall, wrapped his arms round the red-headed, petite girl who was animatedly talking to the tall boy with dark brown curls and square rimmed glasses. The girl, Clary, jumped and laughed, her eyes lit up as she turned to embrace Jace.
I felt something in the pit of my stomach, yearn and want for love like that. I watched as Jace rested his head upon the sleek, shine of her head, to have someone hold me like that was on my list of my things I want to have/do in the time I had left.
Simon pushed his glasses up his nose and flashed a smile at Isabelle,
"Are you sure you can manage to walk in those, I mean last time you did almost trip over Hodge's cat". Isabelle shot a cold look at him,
"At least I'm not the one tripping over my own laces because I'm reading Naruto manga…"
They both scowled at each other, Clary peered through Jace's hands and we exchanged looks. The constant amount of bickering the two of them made was just so much evidence that they liked each other, everyone had noticed apart from them. It was just a matter of time…time
*bring*
The bell echoed around the school, I slammed my locker shut, stuffed my English folder and my copy of 'The Catcher in the Rye' in my bag.
"You're leaving now. Come on Alec it's the 5 minuet bell!" Jace rolled his eyes, "Oh yeah, I forgot, you looooovve English!"
I pouted at him, "At least I have something fascinating I'm interested in, all you are interested in is yourself and if Clary speaks to any boys!" Everyone laughed, this time it was Jace to pout,
"Go then", Isabelle said, "You need to give us a full report on the hot new teacher anyway!" She pushed me down the corridor. "Ok! Ok! Got it ma'am!" I waved goodbye and turned the corner eager to get to my one place that made me feel at ease.

The sweet smell of a tropical musk filled my nose, as I entered the classroom. The new teacher was already there faced away from me getting his notes ready, and to my surprise so was half the class. I could make out the teachers rough, black silk hair, as I slid into my seat at the front by the window, and Maia my one and only friend in the class looked up from her book she held in her hand and grinned.
Her brown eyes sparked with mischief,
"Ok I know I like English but right now I am just loving it so much more!" she smirked nodding at the young man's back at the front. I glanced at the back of the room,
"Why is everybody here on time? I mean like normally I'm the one here 5 minutes before class and everyone just packs in a minuet after class starts?!" I questioned, confused to all the excited chattering filling the room.
"Observe exhibit A writing on the board now and you will find your answer" She smirked, eyes trailed up and down as she checked the teacher out. I punched her arm,
"Hey he's a teacher! Why is everyone making a fuss! So what if he's 2 years older than us!" I mean I admit he has a great behind, but it wasn't right for students to be thinking like that about teachers! I distracted myself by reading my book but I felt Maia give me a look,
"You say that now but just wait until you see his face."
I was about to argue with her when the teacher spoke…his voice was a husky, angelic tone which captured me straight away, I stopped reading my book eyes wide as I stared at the words,
"My name is Mr. Bane, and I will be your teacher this year." He underlined his name on the board, I could hear the squeak of the chalk and his feet scuffled about, but my ears ringed.
"I'm excited to be teaching you, because this subject comes from my heart. And I hope I can get to know each of you and share my love for English with you."
I looked up inhaled an intake of breath, the gold tone of his smooth skin glowed, and I could make out his high cheekbones, I could tell he was part Asian but the most enchanting thing about him was his eyes, they were an unusual, green/yellow, cat-like eyes and they stared straight at me.
I will be willing to carry on if you guy like it and want me too im really excited to write this so please comment below x
