Ch. 1: New Teacher, Old Friend
The three day weekend is over, and the J-Teens are back in school. The J-Teens have the same chemistry class and are just talking about their new teacher.
"I hear we's gettin' a new teach for Chem 101, Bros and Girls," Ice said.
"Considering the accident Mr. Walton had," Hsi Wu said, "Too bad about the broken leg from that fall down the stairs."
"Well accidents do happen," Chrissie said, "I wonder what our new teacher will be like."
"I heard he's from a boarding school in Europe," Cody said.
"I heard he's a bit on the creepy side," Drago said.
The bell suddenly rang and everyone is in their seats. The door opens and in comes their new teacher. He has a lab coat, khaki pants, and he had a ghostly complexion and long black hair. Colleen saw him and recognized him right away.
"Dr. Muir?" Colleen said to herself.
"You know him?" Drago asks.
"He was my science teacher when I went to the Royal Day School in Ireland."
"Good day, Class. I'm Dr. Robert Muir, your new chemistry teacher," he introduces himself.
Then, Dr. Muir sees Colleen in the front.
"Well if it isn't my favorite Royal Day student," he says ecstatically.
"Dr. Muir, it's great to see you again," Colleen says.
"And I of you, My Dear," he said as he looks at her with dreamy-eyes.
"Does it look like the new teach is hittin' on Col?" Ice whispers.
"He's just happy to see someone from his teaching days, Ice," Cody assures him.
Drago had a look of suspicion pointing at Muir. He doesn't like the way he's looking at her.
After class, everyone walked out with their assignments. Ice, Hsi Wu and Drago are talking about their new teacher.
"What B-movie did this guy come out of?" Hsi Wu asks cynically.
"The Revenge of Dracula's Long Lost Little Brother," Ice replied jokingly.
"You guys should give Dr. Muir a chance," Colleen said, "He may look creepy, but he's very nice."
"Only a science whiz would say a teacher is nice, O' Connell," Stacey snickered as she walks by.
"Nobody asked you, Brat," Drago said in a harsh tone.
"Wow! Touchy!"
Stacey walks away while giving them the cold shoulder. Muir pops out to ask Colleen something.
"Colleen, would you care to help me with lab clean-up tomorrow afterschool?" he asks, "We can catch up while we do so. I want to hear all about your return home and how it has been over the past the past few months."
"Sounds great, Dr. Muir," Colleen said, "I can't wait to tell you all about my friends."
Colleen walks to the next class as Muir watches her with dreamy-eyes.
"Still the loving princess I remember," he said to himself, "This time, Angus won't get in our way."
