Teachings of a redneck
Daryl POV
Daryl sighed as he finished his 4th class of the day. It had been a good day so far he was definitely happy about taking the job. Daryl looked over at his lesson plan for his last lesson of the day and saw that he had the seniors; he got out everybody's starter sheet and sat down when the bell went. He watched as the seniors walked in each of them looking at him before they sat down, he looked at the door and noticed the girl who he had talked to walk in and look at the class deciding on where to sit, Daryl frowned when she went and sat on her own table at the back.
Daryl walked in front of his desk and said,
"Hey everyone, I'm Mr. Dixon and I'll be taking you for woodwork for your last semester, I'm going to do Roll call and then I'll give y'all your sheets"
Daryl went to his book and started to call out the names,
"...Brad Jones...Samantha Leroy...Tom Denton...Carol peletier"
Daryl looked up at her and saw her look at him with her bright blue eyes and when he heard her quiet reply he ticked her name. When he was done he picked up the sheets and handed them to each person, when he reached Carol he gave her the sheet and noticed her holding her cardigan tightly around her, he thought it was strange because it was 85 degrees outside ' she must be boiling' he thought. She mumbled a thank you and went back to her sheet, Daryl walked back to the front of the class and said,
"Right class I want you to fill these sheets in and hand them to me at the end of the class, so today we are going to be making wooden pots so you can get use to the machinery again and then we will be moving on to bigger projects though out the semester"
Daryl moved to the box on his desk and said,
"In here is the wooden blocks y'all be using, so if y'all come and get one and grab a Saw and a Sander off the desk at the back"
He sat down at his desk as the students began lining up the get a block, when Carol got to the front and picked up her block she looked at him and smiled, he smiled back and watched her go back to her desk. Daryl made sure that everybody knew what they were doing before sitting down and marking his other classes work. When he had finished, he decided to look around the classroom to see the students work. He walked over to a group of boys who looked like they just came from a skateboarding championship with their long hair and spaced out look, he looked at their work and saw that the boys had basically just drilled a hole in their wooden blocks and had 'finished'. Daryl shook his head and looked at some other students work and saw the same quality of work 'God some of these students are so dumb' He thought. Daryl looked at the back and saw Carol concentrating on something, he walked over quietly so he wouldn't disturb her and saw that she had created a perfect pot that had been cut to size, drilled and sanded perfectly and she had even carved her name on the side, Daryl smiled to himself and thought 'least there is one good student in here'. Daryl walked over to his desk and sat down; he continued to watch Carol concentrate on her pot, noticing that when she got something wrong she scrunched her nose up.
When there was 5 minutes till the end of the day, Daryl asked the class to pack away and bring their sheets to the front. When each student had given their sheets in and their work on the his table, he looked around the classroom and saw that Carol was still working on her project, he walked over to her and said,
"Carol, everybody's gone now, you can finish tomorrow if you want?"
Carol looked up at him and said,
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't even realise"
Daryl laughed and said,
"Yeah I noticed, you were pretty out of it, I've never seen any of my other students concentrate so hard"
Carol smiled and said,
"Yeah I know I can be a bit geeky when it comes to my work, and I love woodwork because I love building stuff"
Carol walked over to Daryl's desk with him, Daryl smiled and said,
"Really most girls don't like stuff like that?"
Carol laughed and said,
"Yeah I know but me and my mama used to build stuff all the time, it was our favourite thing to do"
Daryl noticed her sad look when she said that and said,
"Well she taught you well because you're very impressive"
Carol smiled and said,
"Thank you"
Carol placed her pot on his desk and handed her sheet to Daryl, Daryl took the sheet and his fingers brushed Carols as he took it, as soon as they touched Daryl felt sparks go up his arm and he pulled away quickly. Carol looked up and said,
"Bye Mr. Dixon"
Daryl nodded and said,
"Bye"
When Carol had gone, Daryl sat at his desk and rubbed his stubble with his hand; he huffed and shook his head. Daryl never let anyone touch him, it was just a thing he had but when he touched Carol he felt something different, he couldn't quite figure it out. He knew there was something different about Carol, he couldn't figure out why someone so friendly and nice didn't have any friends, or why she seems to hide her body with bigger clothes. He couldn't figure out why someone so beautiful seemed so alone. 'Oh shit did I just call one of my student's beautiful?' Daryl put his head on his desk sighing.
Carol POV
When Carol left Mr. Dixons room, she went to her locker and put her head against it, she sighed and shook her head, she felt the spark go up her arm when she touched him and it shocked her. 'Do I like him?' She thought as she put her books away, she started to walk to her car, when she got in she rubbed her forehead and thought, 'I don't even know him, even if I did like him, he's never going to like me anyway' Carol shook her head and started her car, she needed to get home before her dad did so dinner was ready. When she got home she put her stuff on her clothes rack and looked around the living room, it was a complete mess, there were beer cans all over the place and pizza boxes left on the table. Carol looked at her watch and knew that her dad wouldn't be in for another hour so she started to clear up. When she was done she started getting dinner ready, she got the ingredients' out for pasta and started making it. When she was done she plated the dinner up making sure she gave her dad a much bigger portion than her and put the plates on the table, she went up to fill a glass of water from tap and grab her dad a beer when she heard the car pull up in the garage, she sighed hating when her dad came home.
Carol sat back down and waited for her dad to come through the door, she heard the fumble of his keys and then saw him barge through the door, she said hello and he mumbled something in response. Ed walked over to the table and said,
"What the hell is this?"
Carol looked up and said,
"Its dinner dad"
Ed looked at it in disgust and said,
"I suppose it will do"
They ate in silence and when they were done Ed said,
"Clean these up, I'm going out"
Carol stood up and mumbled,
"You know you live here too"
Carol didn't realise Ed has heard her and screamed when his hand grabbed her hair and pulled her head back and said,
"What did you say to me you little bitch!"
Carol screamed as he tugged her hair harder and said,
"Stop your hurting me!"
Ed laughed and pushed her face up against the wall and said,
"Never talk back to me bitch!"
Ed turned her around so she was facing him; his other hand grabbed her wrist roughly and twisted it back making Carol scream louder, He let go of her hair and pulled his hand back and hit her round the face making lip split open. Carol tried not to cry, she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of it, he hit her once more around the face and threw her on the ground, he moved up into her face and said,
"You better watch your mouth whore or I'll do something even worst!"
Ed looked down at her and laughed, he grabbed his beer and walked out of the door, Carol managed to stand up and walk over to the freezer to put some ice on her face, she had been the brunt of Ed's fists many times and knew that it would leave a massive bruise.
