Monday comes around and I get up and look in my empty fridge. I sigh and get dressed and grab my bag with my students graded papers in it. I grab my keys and lock my door. Walking out of my apartment building and down the steps I get in my car and head to the coffee shop for coffee. Walking in I see the place is getting busy. I walk to the counter and smile, "Can I get a regular coffee two sugar two cream." The twenty something year old guy behind the counter smiles and turns to get my drink. Turning back he hands me the cup, "Two dollars." I had him two dollar bills and turn to go to the door when I stop dead in my tracks. Standing right in front of me is the girl who takes over my thoughts and dreams. She looks up and smiles that eye touching smile, "Mr. Fitz, hi." I smile with a slight nod, "Miss. Montgomery, Good Morning." She smiles, "Good morning." She looks around me and I laugh and step out of the way, "See you in class." She smiles and nods before turning to the guy behind the counter and I see him check her out with a smile.

Taking a deep breath I turn and walk out the door and get into my car. I start the car and am about to pull away when I see Aria walk out and get in her car. I pull away from the curb and start for the high school. I pull into my usual parking spot and grab my cup of coffee and my bag. I get out and start for the stairs. I smile at a few students on my way to my classroom. I wait for the bell to ring. The bell rings and student start to come in and I watch as they take their seats.

I grab the graded papers for this class and start handing them out. I wait for the class to fully arrive and smile, "You have your test from a week ago on your desk. A lot of you did amazing. If you have any questions don't hesitate to stop and ask." I take a drink of my coffee, "Let's finish up The Great Gatsby."

Classes have come and gone and I look at the clock knowing it's time for her to come into my class. The girl who has been on my mind for months, ever since school started. I grab the last pile of graded papers and start putting them on desks. I watch the class file in slowly but she is not in yet. I finish handing out the papers and walk to my desk and look at the clock. I see her walk in with her friends and I hide the urge to smile. I watch her take her seat and pick up the paper and look at it before a smiles takes over her face.

As the last of my class comes in I walk in front of my desk and smile, "Your test from last week are on your desk. You all did great, some better than others." I look at her and then move my eyes away, "Any questions don't hesitate to come to me. Now let's finish up The Great Gatsby so we can start on this test." I smile and reach on my desk and grab my book before leaning against it and looking at the class. "Where should we start?"

The class is not ready for this test. They are not reading and I don't know what I can do. "You are not ready for this test." They all look up at me, "You haven't read the book. You have to watch the movie if you are not going to read." They all look at me then nod, I hear a few, "I will." I nod and look at the clock, "The test is Friday." I see heads nods and sigh before I hear the bell and smile, "Have a good day." I watch the class grab their items and pack up and leave. I watch her pack up and laugh with her friends as they leave. I sigh and sit in my chair. Running my hands through my hair I look where she sits. "What am I going to do?" I hear a knock and turn to see a coworker, "Didn't mean to interrupt, are you ready for the meeting?" I smile, "Yeah sorry about that. Let's go." Closing my door I walk behind another English teacher who keeps trying to flirt with me as she walks. "You look nice today, Did you get a haircut?" I shake my head with a smile. She shrugs, "Hmm, something is different. It suits you well." She sways her hips as we turn and walk into the room for the meeting.

An hour later I watch as the teachers start heading for the front doors ready to go home. I walk back to my classroom and finish up some grading. When I grade the last paper I put them in my desk drawer and close and lock it. I look at the clock and see school has been out for about two hours. I stretch and get up grabbing my bag. I turn the lights off my classroom and smile at the janitor coming down the hallway, "Have a nice night Richard." He smiles, "You too Ezra." I smile and start for the front doors.

I stand on the steps and see my car as the only car in the parking lot. I sigh and walk to my car. I open it up and throw my back in when I turn and see someone sitting on the curb. I start to get in my car when I sigh and walk to the person on the curb. I walk over and the closer I get I see it is a female. "Are you okay?" The girl looks up and I see the girl who I cant get out of my head staring at me. "I'm fine Mr. Fitz. Thanks for checking." I look around, "Are you sure? School was out two hours ago." She nods, "My car wont start. I called my dad and mom but they are both busy so I have to wait for them to come get me." I look at her and then at my car and have an inner debate. I shouldn't do this. I really shouldn't. I cant just leave her here. Anything could happen and I would feel bad. I sigh, "I can drive you home." She looks up and I see her eyes twinkle, "That's really nice Mr. Fitz but no one is home and I don't have a key so I would be sitting outside there too. If I have to sit somewhere id rather it be here." I look at her and my car again and this time the debate is worse. I really shouldn't do this but I don't care.

"I can take you to my house." Quickly I catch myself, "Just until you are able to go home." She looks up at me with those green eyes. "I couldn't let you do that." I smile slightly, "I don't mind." She smiles and her whole face lights up, "Thank you Mr. Fitz. I appreciate this." I smile and watch as she gets up and dust herself off. We start walking to my car and I watch as she goes around and opens the passenger side door and gets in. Taking a long breath and letting it out I get in and start the car. I look at her and back out and put the car in drive and drive through the parking lot and out to the road.

One last look at the girl in my dreams to the side of me in my car, I take a breath and pull onto the road and start for my house.
