Eve was so excited about being in school and around kids her own age. She looked at her schedule and saw she had Technology with Mr. Kilmartin. She hurried up the stairs passing several students. She realized that she might have been going a little too fast, by the way, the students cried out as she passed them. She slowed herself down hoping that she hurt no one and that none of the students saw her do anything that was not humanly possible.
She walked into the classroom. There were students sitting at their desk and more students coming in the room. She saw Mr. Kilmartin standing behind his desk. He was wearing jeans with a white button-up shirt. He had brown hair that hung slightly below his ears and blue eyes. She walked up to him and gave him her schedule. He took it from her and looked at it. Her heart was racing she's never been around a true teacher.
"Hi Miss Corvin," said Mr. Kilmartin smiling at her as he handed her schedule back. "Welcome to technology class. Please have a seat next to Mr. Smith first name John. This is his first time in this class as well."
Eve looked over to where Mr. Kilmartin was pointing and saw the dark-haired boy from the office. There was an empty desk beside him. At each desk, there was a computer on it. She took the schedule back from Mr. Kilmartin and went to go sit down at the desk. She looked around the room. Most of the people she saw looked like something bored them being here. Some were secretly checking their phones.
"Hi, I am Eve Corvin," she said to the boy. She held out her hand to the boy to shake. She knew was how humans greeted each other. "Were you in the office earlier?"
"John," he said as he shook her hand. "Yeah, I was there with my sister. Was that your brother that was with you?"
"No," Eve said. She could not believe a cute boy was talking to her. She felt the heat on her face. She instinctively turned her face from him "That was my uncle David. He wanted to be here with my first day in school."
"Ok everyone put your phones away," said Mr. Kilmartin. " We were going over subnet masking. Anyone wants to tell me what you would see on your browser if you had an IP address of ?"
Eve looked around and notice that no one seemed to be interested in answering Mr. Kilmartin's question. She knew that an IP address of meant that the local computer gave itself its own IP address. It usually meant that you could not get on the internet. finally, someone in the front row raised his hand. Mr. Kilmartin nodded his head towards the student.
"No internet connection." said the student.
"Correct," said Mr. Kilmartin.
A dark-haired girl came into the class. Looked over at Mr. Kilmartin and put her fingertip up to her lip. She seemed to try to pout.
"I am sorry that I am late Mr. Kilmartin," she said. The tone of her voice Eve could tell was not sincere.
"Ms. Chamberlain," said Mr. Kilmartin. "What is the excuse this time?"
"I could not get my locker open," she said with a face that looked all innocent.
"Ms. Chamberlain, I am done dealing with you," said Mr. Kilmartin. "Go to the principal's office."
"I have a note from the janitor," she said handing out the note to him.
Mr. Kilmartin took the note and looked at it. He put the note in his pocket. Ms. Chamberlain eyes widen a little when he did that. Eve could tell she wanted to get the note back.
"Go take your seat," said Mr. Kilmartin to her.
Eve watched as she turned towards the class. Gave a little mischievous smile and walked towards her. She sat down in the seat in front of her. Turned and looked at the John with a real puzzled look on her face.
"Adam?" she said to him. "What happened to your hair and clothes?"
John looked at her strangely and shook his head. Ms. Chamberlain looked at Eve and gave her a nasty look. Eve did not know why. But she wanted to rip her throat out.
"Faye Chamberlain," said Mr. Kilmartin "Leave John and Eve alone."
"Sorry," said Faye turning around.
Eve looked over at John. He looked back at her and gave her a tiny smile. Her heart raced when she saw how beautiful his smile was.
'He is so cute.' thought Eve. She could feel her face turning red. She looked away. Not sure why she did.
"Ok everyone please turn on your computers," said Mr. Kilmartin.
Eve reached down and turned on her system. She watched her computer monitor boot up. She looked over at John again. She saw him slide the lens cover down on his computer before turning his on. She did the same also. She wasn't sure why though.
She looked over at Faye and saw her texting on her phone. She would look back a John several times. Then look back at her phone. Eve could have sworn she took a picture of him without him knowing it.
"Ms. Chamberlain if I see you looking at your phone one more time. I will take it and you will not get it back." Said Mr. Kilmartin.
"Sorry," Faye said as she put her phone in her back pocket.
Mr. Kilmartin lectured the class on subnet masking and how it was important on getting information to the right place. Eve knew about this already uncle David was good at computers. She learned many things on the internet. When she first got to use a computer, she asked over a hundred questions on how it worked. What the internet was, etc...
Mr. Kilmartin continues to talk about the class schedule. How this week was going over the basics. But that he expected each student to have programmed an App. He stated that they would work on teams. Eve hoped that she would be on the same team as John. She was not sure why she like that idea.
The bell rang, and everyone got up to leave. Faye waited before getting up to leave. She walked over to where John was sitting and picked up a piece of his hair. Eve thought that was weird. There was something off about Faye. She did not have time to figure it out. She did not want to be late for her next class.
