Chapter 2 -New Teacher & A new feeling
Ten minutes later, the class room door opened again, Sara was so into her book that she didn't notice the teacher walking in and not realizing that everybody stopped talking.
When the teacher got to the front of the classroom, he sets his stuff on the desk and Albert gets up from his seat then stands in front of the class and speaks to the students again. "everybody I would like you all to meet Dr. Gilbert Grissom, he has been a very good friend of mine for years so I hope you all treat him with the respect he deserves."
Gilbert Grissom has blue eyes, light brown hair, 5'6, wears glasses on occasion, he loves bugs whether it would be to study them or collect them, loves to recite poetry and do crossword puzzles. When he needs a distraction he likes to ride roller-coaster's and occasionally he listens to classical music.
Albert turns to Grissom and said. "I leave these kids to you."
Grissom and Albert shook hands and Grissom nods, then they release hands and Albert leaves.
When the door shuts that's when Gilbert talked for the first time. "Hi everybody when addressing me, 'Mr.' will be fine none of that Dr. Stuff, I will be your new teacher for this term, so I hope you all learn a lot." As he was looking at the students he noticed that everybody was paying attention to him except for a brown haired women in the first row, she had her head down reading.
He walks up to her and says. "Excuse me Ms. But am I boring you already?"
Only when Greg tapped her on the shoulder did she get out of her zone. She looked at Greg and whispered. "what?" But instead of Greg talking Grissom speaks again. "I was just wondering if I can start class now?"
Sara turns her head and when she looked up she was glad that she was sitting down because if she wasn't then she would have fainted. He had the most beautiful blue eyes she ever saw and he was wearing glasses that only made him more attractive in her mind. She wanted to blush for thinking that, they were staring at each other and Sara shook her head and said. "Yeah you can start class now MR…." she was lost she didn't know his name.
He smiled, to which she added that to her list of his attractiveness, and said. "you can call me Mr. Grissom and what would your name be?"
She smiled back and replied. "I am Sara Sidle."
Grissom smiled again, walked back to the front of the class and said. "now that Ms Sidle said we can start class, shall we?"
Grissom smirks at her direction then turned to the other students as everybody all chuckled a little. Sara looked away embarrassed and grabbed her notebook, for note taking.
After Grissom handed out the syllabus and the books they got down to business and through out class, Sara half concentrated on the work and the other half concentrated on the man, he was very good looking, the shirt that he was wearing really brought out his eyes and showed his strong arms and his chest wasn't too bad to look at either.
She shook her head and went back to her note taking, she shouldn't be looking at him this way, he was a teacher who was at least 10 years older then her if not more and someone who could flunk her just like that.
She thought no one noticed what she was doing but when the bell rung and class was dismissed, Greg looks at Sara and said. "I saw that."
They get up from the table and Sara said. "saw what?"
"you were checking out the new teacher and day dreaming about him."
"I was not."
"you were too."
The rest of the gang came up and Amanda took Greg's hand and said. "what's going on?"
Greg looks at his girlfriend and said. "Ms. Sidle was checking out our teacher."
Sara hits Greg on the shoulder and said. "I was not."
Amanda looked at Sara and said. "there is nothing wrong on doing that."
They all looked at Amanda now and Greg said. "you were too weren't you?"
Amanda shrugged her shoulders and said. "Maybe."
Greg shook his head and said. "I can't believe you guys he is old enough to be your father."
The girls shook her heads and Sara said. "he is not." Then walks ahead of the group so she could go to her next class and to get away from her embarrassment of being caught daydreaming about her teacher.
When Sara was away from the group Greg looks at Amanda and said. "were you really checking him out?"
Amanda shook her head and said. "of course not honey." She kisses his cheek, then looks over at BreAnna and they were both smiling, they walked away to go to their next class wondering if the rest of the year will be this entertaining.
What they didn't know was that Grissom heard some of their conversation and sighed, When Sara Sidle looked at him with those Brown eyes, he had a connection with her.
He shook his head and thought. 'Don't do this to yourself, this is wrong, she is 15 years younger than you, you are her teacher and besides she probably has a boyfriend. This is probably a crush on the new teacher kind of thing, just get over it and continue with your complicated free life.'
He took a few calming breaths and waited till the bell rung for the next class and after it did and when everybody was seated, he started to teach but when he looked at the first row and saw a blond man sitting there he mentally sighed and wished a Sara Sidle was sitting there. He too was wondering what the rest of the year will be like.
For the next five classes and lunch time Sara's day was very uneventful and she could barely concentrate on her other classes. Travis could tell Sara was a little distracted but he just figured she was already getting her mind set on school work which wouldn't be a big surprise.
The bell rung for the last class of the day and Sara walked to her locker to drop off her math stuff. She grabbed her last notebook and sighed, this was her last class but it just so happens that she gets to see the same teacher that came into her life earlier today and she can't seem to get her mind off of him and it was driving her crazy.
She was startled when Travis came up to her and put a hand on her shoulder, he felt her jump and tense and asked. "Sara are you ok?"
Sara shook her head, smiled a little and said. "yeah I'm fine."
Travis smiles, takes her hand and they were headed to chemistry, her smile faded and worry began to set in. Travis had Chemistry with her and she mentally sighed. 'oh great it just got worst.'
She didn't want Travis to be in the same classroom with her just in case she couldn't stop staring at Mr. Grissom and a wierd part of her didn't want Mr. Grissom to know that she was dating someone one, at least for now but it was impossible to keep a secret in a High School when your holding hands with the guy.
They walked hand in hand until they got the chemistry doorway, she released his hand, Travis looks at her but didn't say anything. She looked at the desk and saw Mr. Grissom sitting down with his glasses on the brig of his nose and looking down reading a book, but as quickly as she looked at him she looked away.
Travis walks her to the front seat in the classroom and kissed her cheek and that's when Grissom looked up and saw that and he was going to put on a hurt face but stopped himself he had no right to feel this way. Sara's heart pounded at his reaction but didn't see anything different but mentally sighed and thought. 'so much for keeping it a secret.'
Grissom watches the young man sit across the aisle from her and thought that it was weird that he didn't sit next to his girlfriend but shook it off he was just happy that Sara was in another one of his classes.
When he saw Greg Sanders in his chemistry class, two classes ago he was hoping she would be there too he heard from other teachers that Greg and Sara had a lot of classes together and was very close but was disappointed when the first seat in the classroom was empty but now the seat was taken by the brown haired women just like his mind was taking over by her too.
The bell rung for the start of class and he shook his head to clear all thoughts of her, took off his glasses, stood up, then walked to the front of the classroom. He looked at his students and said. "Hi everybody, most of you know who I am but for the first timers I am Mr. Grissom, I hope you learn a lot. Now that the introductions were made shall we get started?"
He looks at everybody and at the last second he looked at Sara and she already had her notebook ready and she was paying attention he did a small smirk and she lightly shook her head. He turns his back so he could get the syllabus after he passed those out he started going over it. Then like in biology class he went right down to business, passed out the chemistry books and started teaching.
After 55 minutes, at 3 o'clock class was finally over and so was school.
The students were getting up and Travis walked over to Sara and whispered. "I'll meet you at the front of the school in ten minutes ok? I have to talk to a few guys." Sara nodded and Travis kissed her on the cheek and left the classroom.
She started to put her things in her bag and even though she only had two things, she took her time. Part of her was telling herself that she didn't want to hurry so she wouldn't have to wait on Travis but the other part was telling her 'yeah right your just waiting so you can be in the same room as Mr. Grissom longer.' She shook her head of that thought and when she zipped up her bag she realized it was just her and Mr. Grissom, she gets up from her seat and Grissom grabbed his stuff and started walking they met at the intersection between the aisle and the edge of the table.
He moves his hand to indicate for her to go first, she smiled at him and started walking, as they were walking they both felt the connection they didn't even have to touch to feel it, it was very strong and unlike anything they ever felt. They didn't know what to make of if though and shook it off or at least tried.
Finally when the silence became too much, Grissom cleared his throat and said. "So Ms. Sidle, I am very disappointed in you."
They stopped at the door still inside the classroom, she looks at him and asked, with a concern face. "why did I do something?" she didn't want to disappoint him and she didn't think she did since it was their first day.
He chuckles a little and shook his head then said. "actually it's what you didn't do."
She looks at him confusingly and he continued. "I heard around the school from Teachers that you could spend the whole class asking questions and you barley asked any today."
Sara looked away embarrassed and he smiled, when she looked back at him she cleared her throat and said. "well maybe I wanted to give you break." She pursed her lips together with a smirk.
He nods with a small smile and said. "Well for the record you can ask any questions anytime."
They stare at each other and Sara said the first thing that popped in her head and she didn't even know why she asked this. "are you single?" After the words came out in the open, she shut her mouth fast, looked at him embarrassed and then said. "I'm sorry." She turned, ran out of the classroom and out of sight.
Grissom was standing there shocked that she asked him that, it took him a few minutes to get over it and when he did, he walked out of the room closing the door behind him. After he locked it he walked down the hall and out of the door to the outside.
When he got outside he was turning to the right to head toward the faculty parking lot when he hard Al's voice. "so how was your first day?"
Grissom turned his head to look at his boss/Friend, smiled and replied. "It was good...interesting."
Albert didn't know what to make of the last part of the comment but said. "well I am glad you had a good day Gil, I hope you enjoy the rest of the school year."
Albert smiled, Grissom gave him a nod, Al patted him and the shoulder and left Grissom alone in the breezeway. Grissom stood there for a minute and sighed for about the hundredth time today and thinking about what Sara asked him. If he didn't think it was going to be an interesting five months before, he definably did now, he shook his head and headed for his car so he could go home.
