Te Amo

Chapter 25

Cesca dressed, finished her hair and make up and grabbed a coffee to go before unlocking her car door. She chucked all of her bags on to the passenger seat and sat herself down. She had a familiar feeling of nerves in the pit of her stomach, this was her first job in and English school and she expected it would be completely different to the Spanish schools. She would be teaching a bunch of teenagers an unknown language and expecting them to care, to listen.

Her car rolled down the road and turned the corner, she noticed a few of the early birds in their uniforms lazily hassling the paths with their presence. They didn't look too excited for their first day back, in fact they looked the opposite, it was almost like their bodies were going one way and their minds another. Cesca smiled though, she was so lucky to have gotten this job and she couldn't wait to really get her teeth into it. If anyone she could convince the teenage boys to take an interest in Spanish to a certain degree, if it wasn't for the language it was for the sexy Spanish teacher that taught them.

More lazy pupils herded the gateway to Waterloo Road, busily in conversation with friends about their holidays. It seemed that she wasn't the only one that had fallen in love over the summer as she noticed all of the hand holding that was taking place as young love also wandered to school. The less enthusiastic teachers stood at the front of the school 'welcoming' the students back, their faces resembling one that had just received a good slap, the other teachers wore friendly smiles on their faces and greeted the pupils with warm conversation, not that any of them were particularly interested.

Cesca parked her car and collected her bag onto her arm. She stepped out of her car and took in her surroundings. Almost immediately she received wolf whistles from the older boys, she laughed and locked up her car and began walking towards the school. She could sense everyone talking about her, the 'newbie'. The male teaches gossiped about her and watched in wonder as she gracefully walked towards the school.

"Hola" one of them shouted over to her, she smiled politely and pulled open the doors of Waterloo Road… Minutes later she was sat down in the staffroom, introducing herself to everyone that bothered to ask. A woman sat beside her and introduced herself as Adana, it was her first day to but she seemed a little more at ease. They had a lovely conversation and it was evident they were to become good friends. Their chat was interrupted by Karen Fisher as she walked in to deliver the days brief with Chris standing beside her, nodding at everything Karen said.

"Definite sheep…" Adana whispered to Cesca just as Karen finished resulting in Cesca letting out an unexplainable giggle.

"Pub after were done here?" Adana asked, Cesca agreed and they went their separate ways and began their first day at work.

Jonah was heading towards his first lesson at his new school; it had been a long time since he had been to a school so it felt strange to be in this situation. He already preferred it to being taught at home though; he had the opportunity to mix with people his own age. He waited outside his first classroom, groups of students deep in conversation. Instead he chose to stand alone, thinking entirely about a certain someone; he wondered how she was getting on with her new job, wondered whether she was thinking about him too. At that moment he was interrupted by a grumpy looking English teacher welcoming them to period one. What a long day this was going to be.

Truth be told Cesca was thinking about Jonah, thinking that the girls that she was teaching now were the same age as him yet he was so much more mature. She pushed him to the back of her mind and set the year 13 girls their tasks.

"Have you seen the new teacher?" the question came from behind Jonah. He turned around and shook his head at the boy sitting behind him.

"Totally banging I tell you mate, we have her last pwoaaaah, I am Ronan by the way." He told Jonah.

"Jonah" Jonah replied with a smile.

"Want to hang out in the common room at break?" Ronan asked.

"Sure what…." Jonah was interrupted by Mr Budgen.

"WORKING" he shouted at Jonah.

Jonah rolled his eyes and stuck up his hand.

"Finished." He said with a smirk.

The rest of the class laughed. Grantly Budgen had just been well and truly shot down by one of his pupils. He ignored it though and carried on completing his rubix cube. Jonah sat there in his own little bubble wasting time.

Break rolled around quickly and Ronan and Jonah headed for the common room

"But you haven't seen her mate, she is too fit I am not even joking, you just wait until last period." Ronan explained.

"I'm not like that, she is a teacher, she is new and she doesn't need everyone perving over her!" Jonah laughed as they entered the common room and the conversation about the new 'fit teacher' continued.

Cesca met Adana in the staff room, sitting with a magazine and a coffee.

"So… How has it been so far?" Adana asked Cesca.

"Can't wait for last period to be honest, I need a drink!" Cesca laughed. They were interrupted by a dumbstruck Tom.

"Will, will, will you two be joining us at the pub tonight?" Tom asked them.

"We will be at the pub, not necessarily with you…" Adana admitted, Tom nodded and took the hint and left them too it. Cesca rolled her eyes and giggled innocently, Tom really wasn't her type, not one single bit.
