This is a REWRITE of my very first Student/Teacher relationship story! Edited to the best of my ability. ENGLISH NAMES BEING USED.
AU & characters may be OOC
Elliot was unhappy with his life: his marriage, his job, 1 of his sister & his father. The only good things in his life at the time were his mother, his youngest sister, a few friends & his cat. That was until he met the love of his life; it was after he met her that his life started to change for the better.
Elliot was a high school AP Science teacher; but after a few years becomes an at home scientist. He was in a loveless marriage where his wife had been cheating on him for years. His family doesn't get along with his father who tried pushing him into a career in archaeology. He has a great relationship with is mother & youngest sister; his middle sister, not so much.
The girl that he loves so much, however, does have secrets & as much as he wants to know, doesn't push her. But soon, all those secrets will come out.
How can one person change someone's life so much?
Read & Find out.
Lost of sex in this.
PLZ NOTE THAT I DO NOT OWN TMM/MMP OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS. I JUST CLAIM THE STORY & THE CHARACTERS I CREATE!
YOU MAY SKIP THIS PART IF YOU WISH: IT'S JUST A NOTE ABOUT HOW I'VE BEEN DOING & WHY I WRITE THE STUFF I WRITE
I apologize right now for the random stories that I'm going to be posting. I have severe writer's block…either still or again; I'm not quite sure at this current moment. As a lot of you know, I also have depression & even though I'm doing better, I'm still struggling with it. & then with all this shit going on/around with the lockdown or quarantine or whatever you want to call it, I can't really go anywhere as my immune system is crap, my niece has went from being in public school to being home schooled…with me & my bf as her "teachers" or whatever because her parents work. So that's a little stressful & I'm going stir crazy. So, my mind's a little frazzled at the moment…
So, I'm sorry that my older stories are being pushed to a backburner or whatever. I'm not trying to do that; I just for some reason can't come up with ideas for them. However, I can come up with ideas for new stories. Also, I've found some really old stories that I've started editing to the best of the ability & I might repost them. But, I may not. I will try to get to everything as soon as I can…if I can.
I also apologize for stories that are very similar to other works of mine. Such as any of the stories about a parent (usually the father) finding out he has kids from a previous relationship or one night stand or whatever. That usually happens because I get writer's block or after I started it I get different ideas, so I start a new version. So, yes, I'm aware I do that; but I don't think I can help it…
Also, mainly for when I get writer's block & come up with new ideas, & can't decide which category I want to go with; I will write the exact same story with different characters for whichever anime they go with. I not only do that, because I can't decide which anime world to pair it with, but because not everyone likes each & every anime others may like; some might not even know the anime I do write for. Sometimes I keep all versions & sometimes, if I become too overwhelmed & changing the names so many times becomes too much, I will go through & find which ones are the most popular (as in which anime) & keep those while deleting the others. So, to the people who always ask me why I do that, there you go. But mainly because I'm a spaz.

Admissions Letter
~Welcome to Liberty Private High~
Dear Ms. Emmeline Moore,
We here at the Liberty School system are happy to say, we have accepted you into our private high school, Liberty High. You have some of the best grades we've seen in years. However, due to issues with your applications and files getting lost in the mail and then misplaced, you will be starting a month late. So, instead of starting July 1st with everyone else, you will be starting August 1st. Which, if you think about it, isn't all that bad. We'll let your teachers know a few days before you arrive.
What our school system is:
Liberty School System is four private schools ranging from K-12th grade. You got elementary school for kindergarteners through second graders. That's followed up by the grade school for third graders through fifth graders. Next we have middle school or junior high for sixth graders through eighth graders. And finally we have the high school for freshmen through seniors.
Anti Bullying Rules:
This school is for two groups of students: the ones who come from money or the ones who have high scoring grades; it's about half and half. But, nobody here is looked down upon and are all treated the same. However, if you do find yourself being bullied, please let any one of the teachers or staff and it will be taken care of. We have absolutely no tolerance for bullying; if someone is called out for or caught bullying, they will get detention for each offence up to three times. After three times, if they continue they will be suspended up to five times. And then if they continue after all those warnings, they will be expelled.
Teachers & Staff:
Most of the teachers and staff who teach here actually went to school here or graduated from a top college; so you know you're in good hands.
Teachers who teach advanced classes are required to have a study group (even if it only has one student in it) once a week; either at the school or at their home. It would be beneficial for you to attend some of them…or at least one of them. I would highly recommend that if you only take one, you take the subject you struggle with the most.
School Year & Hours:
Liberty High School is a different kind of school; it's not your normal eight hour, nine month a year, with a three month summer vacation type of school. No, Liberty School is ten months out of the year, starting July 1st and goes until April 30th. We get a two month summer break, two week winter break and a week for spring break. And then you have your normal one to three days for other important holidays. Also, your normal run of the mill schools usually run from 8:00 AM-3:15 PM; but Liberty School runs from 7:00 AM-4:05 PM with almost an hour lunch.
Food Policy:
NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE OR DON'T HAVE, BREAKFAST AND LUNCH ARE ALWAYS FREE! WE DO NOT TURN ANYONE AWAY FROM BEING ABLE TO EAT!
We here at Liberty School System believe that every student needs a balanced meal to keep the brain sharp. No one should be turned away just because they don't have money.
Uniforms:
Liberty School requires school uniforms: boys wear navy blue dress pants, red dress shirt with a navy blue jacket, dress shoes and socks; girls wear a navy blue and red plaid skirt with a red shirt and navy blue jacket, dress shoes and their choice of ankle, knee high or thigh high socks. Now, I know you're not going to be in Physical Education, we still have to inform you of the dress code; dress code is shorts and a shirt that cover everything, tennis shoes and ankle socks.
Colors, Mascot & Mottos:
The school's colors are red and navy blue, its mascot is a bear cub and its mottos are "A full mind is a happy mind." "Learning is fun with the right mind set." "No matter where you come from; as long as you're willing to learn; our doors are always open." And "Always help one another…no matter how smart, what they look like or what their background is; treat others the way you would want to be treated."
Classes:
You are a junior this year and senior next year-our youngest junior/senior in over ten years-so you'll be able to pick out most of your classes.
You took the exam for health last month and you passed with flying colors; you do not need to take the health class.
Due to health issues and with a doctor's note, you are excused from any and all gym classes during the school day. However, you will need to get at least half an hour of exercise on your own time and chart it down. No excuses…unless sick or injured.
Mandatory Classes:
Science:
You will be required to take a science class each year. According to your files, the only science class you qualify for is AP Science 1 and then 2. So with that in mind, you will be starting AP Science 1 this year and then your senior year you'll be in AP Science 2.
Math:
Your files say that you are only short half a credit in math; you'll have to take at least one semester of math class. You have three choices to choose from:
AP Algebra
AP Geometry
Mathematical Physics
History:
History is mandatory for all four years of high school. You have a few choices:
US History
World History
AP US History
AP World History
World Religion
Art History
English/writing:
Much like science and history, you will be required to take English/writing classes. You have passed all the mandatory English/writing classes, so you're left with electives. Some of the classes are year long while others are only a semester long. You qualify for all of our AP English/writing classes plus some of the regular classes:
American Literature

French Literature
German Literature
Italian Literature
AP American Literature
AP English Literature
Creative writing
Advanced Creative writing
Poetry

We have encased a return envelope; please send us a list of classes you would like to take as soon as you possibly can. As it was mentioned earlier, you'll have ten classes total and one slot for both your Junior and Senior years are already taken by AP Science 1 and AP Science 2. So, we need at least one math class, two history classes, up to four English/writing classes and eleven electives. And just so you know, any of the classes can be electives if you want extra math, science, history, English/writing.
We hope you accept our invitation and join our school.
We hope to see you bright and early August 1st.
Sincerely,
The Board of Directors,
The Board of Education,
Principal Harper &
Vice Principal Cooper
"I can't believe they want me…" A young girl, Emmeline, said softly as she stood in front of a large high school.
"So here I go…I hope I don't get lost… … This school has three floors?! ~_~" Emmeline said after a few minutes of just staring at the school before she slowly walked up the steps and into the building; she found the office almost right away.
"Hello?" Emmeline asked softly, slowly peeking her head inside of the office door.
"Yes, how may I help you?" A lady at the front desk asked kindly.
"I'm new here… I'm supposed to meet with Principal Harper." Emmeline replied nervously.
"Yes, of course. Please take a seat and he'll be right out." The lady said with a smile as she sent out a page.
Emmeline's P.O.V.:
Hi, I'm Emmeline Nixie Moore; I'm a third Italian, a third German and a third Irish. I'm only fifteen, but I'm a junior in high school; I skipped a few years…but, at the same time, I was held back twice because I was really sick a few years ago. I have a lot of health issues…but I don't want to talk about those. Umm…my birthday is May 15th. I'm single…and I really don't want to be in a relationship…even though my best friend, Zoey Hanson, wants me to get one. She, along with my other best friend, Bridget Verdant go to this school as well; we'll finally be able to go to school together…even if it's only for a few years. Zoey and Bridget are sophomores; Zoey's aunt pays for her tuition while Bridget got in on her grades.
But anyways…
It was a brand new day at a brand new school; it's a little scary. For the longest time I've been living at my mom's home and I've been going to a regular public school. Now I've moved out to be on my own…at fifteen; as soon as I turned fifteen I got emancipated…for personal reasons.
Any who, now I'm going to Liberty High…a private school. It really is scary, but at least I'm not alone.
Anyways, I'm almost a genius and I got in due to the fact that I guess the principal really wanted me at this school so I got a scholarship. I'm good at almost everything except math and science; but I do good enough to pass. And you know what? I only have two years of school left and I technically only have to do a semester of math. But, I do want to learn as much as I can…so I signed up for two different math classes. Science on the other hand…I'm really not a fan of…but, I want to learn more…I have to…for daddy and grandpa. R.I.P.
You see, my dad and grandpa were both really great scientists; they both passed away. My dad passed when I was really little, so I don't really remember him a whole lot; but my grandpa…we were really close…
Normal P.O.V.:
"Ms. Moore?" A middle aged man called from the side of the main office.
"Yes!" Emmeline said quickly, standing up, very nervous.
"Hahaha! You sound just like you did over the phone. There's no need to be nervous; please, come with me to my office." The man said with a smile, motioning with his arms for her to follow him.
"Yes, of course." Emmeline said softly as she followed him.
"Ok… Have a seat. I'm Mr. Harper and I am Liberty High's principal; this is Vice Principal Cooper. And you are Emmeline Moore; a very bright young girl. Only fifteen and you skipped three grades: first, fourth and eighth. But, at the same time you were held back in third and sixth for illness. Does that sound correct?" The man, Mr. Harper asked calmly.
Principal Harper was a middle aged man with tan skin, brown eyes and short dark brown hair.
Vice Principal Cooper was a middle aged woman with light skin, long blonde hair tied up into a long ponytail and hazel eyes.
"Yes, that's correct." Emmeline replied honestly.
"Your doctor wrote you a note excusing you from physical education, saying that if you participate, your health could be compromised. Yet, we don't know what your conditions are. Is this something we absolutely need to know?" Principale Harper asked seriously.
"Not currently…everything is in remission at the moment. No, I don't have or ever had cancer. At my last school, a few years ago, there were a lot of complications and I wasn't strong enough to participate in Physical Education. So, my doctor wrote me a note excusing me from any and all physical…anything except for medial stuff. I was not aware that that note transferred over. About a year and a half ago, I tried contacting him to tell him I'd like to try again…but he messaged me back and said it was not going to happen…" Emmeline replied back honestly.
"Well…unless we get a permission slip from your doctor, you will not be allowed to participate in any Physical Education. However, you will have to earn some kind of credit for Physical Education; so, you will have to do at least half an hour of exercise on your own time and mark it all down-what you did and for how long. Do I make myself clear?" Principal Harper asked seriously.
"Yes, of course. Does walking to and from school count? It's about a fifteen-twenty minute walk to and from home." Emmeline replied, asked and then explained.
"I suppose that would be just fine, yes." Principal Harper said with a smile.
"So, that's taken care of. It says here you're emancipated and live on your own?" Vice Principal Cooper asked, looking at a stack of papers.
"Yes, that's correct; I don't get along with my mom, her parents, step dad, his parents, siblings or step brother. My dad died when I was little and my grandpa died a few years ago. My grandma is in a nursing home as she can't take care of herself and I'm too young to. I have no aunts or uncles alive." Emmeline explained calmly.
"Well, let's move on, shall we? Unlike most other schools, Liberty Schools classrooms aren't numbered; they are identified by the teacher's name plate. Yes, some teachers here are married and there will be a Mr. and Mrs. So and So. So, to give you an example, I'm principal here; I, along with Vice Principal Cooper run the ins and outs here, making sure everything runs smoothly. Of course, Vice Principal Cooper has to run everything by me; but for the most part we're on the same page. Now, my wife, Mrs. Harper is a teacher here; she teaches photography and AP photography." Principal Harper explained calmly.
"Umm… I don't mean to be rude or step out of line; but, why isn't Mrs. Harper Vice Principal?" Emmeline asked, slightly confused.
"I guess I did forget to mention that, didn't I. My wife is a photography teacher and not Vice Principal because she didn't want that position. Yes, I offered it to her, but she didn't want it. Vice Principal Cooper here, is my younger sister; so she was the next one to be offered the position. Our family has owned this school for three generations; it started with our grandparents and has been passed down ever since. The first born child, whether it be a boy or a girl, gets the position of principal when the current one retires. Vice Principal Cooper's husband is also a teacher here; he's woodwork and AP woodwork. Does that answer your question?" Principal Harper asked calmly.
"Yes sir." Emmeline said with a small smile.
"You got your acceptance letter, so you should know about the school. I also see that you have your uniforms; you should've gotten seven of them; one for each day of the week. You can wash and dry them in regular washers and dryers." Principal Harper said calmly.
"Yes sir." Emmeline said politely.
"So polite…very different from other students here." Vice Principal Cooper said somewhat shocked.
"Yes; she is, isn't she? That just makes her special and unique and perfect for this school. That and the fact that she's the smartest student we've had in ten or so years." Principal Harper said with a smile.
"You're referring to Mr. Grant?" Vice Principal Cooper asked, so only her brother could hear.
"Yes. But anyways…I'm glad you came early so that you could make it to all of your classes. Now, I have both your semester class schedules for junior year; you'll get those in just a minute. I also have your schedules for both semesters of your senior year as well. The question is would you like both junior and senior years; or, would you just like junior year?" Principal Harper asked calmly.
"I'll take both; I'll just keep them together in a folder." Emmeline said calmly, with a soft smile.
"Ok then. Here are your schedules. They have your class, teacher's name and what floor the class is on. Now, because you're new here, you might get a little lost; so, if you're late to any of your classes, please show the teacher this note. Everything should be taken care of." Principal Harper said calmly.
"Ok." Emmeline said as she stood up; she figured she was going to be excused…and she was right.
"Have a wonderful day. Oh, and have each of your teachers sign this and then hand it back in to me at the end of the day." Principal Harper said calmly, handing Emmeline a sign-in sheet
"Thank you very much. Have a nice day as well." Emmeline said politely, before being excused and entering the hall; the bell for first period rang about a minute ago.

"So…my first class is all the way up on the third floor… I'd better get going… It seems that all but three of my classes are on the second and third floors this year." Emmeline said to herself as she started up the stairs.
Twelve Minutes Later:
"Why is this school so big? I'm five minutes late because I've been searching for my first class… Oh, here it is…" Emmeline sighed as she knocked on the door; she didn't know if they locked doors once class started like back at her old school.
"May I help you?" A man with shoulder length dark purple hair and purple eyes asked slightly annoyed.
"Ummm…yes. Sorry! My name is Emmeline Moore; I'm new to this school and this is supposed to be my first class. I'm sorry I'm late; I got lost…" Emmeline apologized like crazy as she handed the teacher her slip and paper to sign.
"Yes, I heard you were coming today; I figured you'd get lost. Well, come in. I'm Mr. Ikisatashi and this is AP Algebra. During class, I do not slow down for anyone; I will, however, come around when it's work study time and if you need help, that would be the time to ask. You know Bridget and Zoey?" Mr. Ikisatashi explained and then asked when he seen a picture of the three girls attached to Emmeline's binder.
"Yes; they are my very best friends…my only friends." Emmeline said happily and then mumbled.
"So…you're a sophomore?" Mr. Ikisatashi asked, shocked.
"Oh no, I'm a junior this year. I skipped a few grades…" Emmeline explained calmly; she figured she was going to have to explain that to a lot of teachers today.
"Well…ok then. Well, Bridget is in this class and she only has one other person at her table; you can take one of two empty seats at that table." Mr. Ikisatashi said calmly, pointing to a table, before handing her back her signed paper.
"Thank you." Emmeline said with a smile as she went to sit down.
Second Period:
Emmeline's next class was AP US History with Mrs. Jacks on the second floor; she actually just barely made it to her class on time.
Emmeline's P.O.V.:
"You must be Ms. Moore." Mrs. Jacks said, looking at me as I entered her class.
"Yes, that's me." I said, handing her my new student slip and the paper she was supposed to sign.
Mrs. Jacks was older; she had gray hair tied up into a tight bun, wrinkles and dull blue eyes.
"Well take a seat; there are several." Mrs. Jacks said calmly; it wasn't a very large class…
I passed US History easily at my last school...so yeah.
Mrs. Jacks is a nice lady and all, but I've learned all of this already; how is this Advanced? I learned about the Civil Rights Act, Civil Rights Movement and Slavery in US History at my other school… Oh well, I'll just catch on everything she's teaching and I'll do all I can.
My next class was Arts Metals & Glass with Mrs. Heath; this is a class that I didn't have at my old school…so it's completely new to me. Her class was all the way on the second floor…so I was actually early.
Mrs. Heath was very nice; she said she was glad to have a new student; arts metals & glass isn't as popular as it used to be; it would probably be gone next year. If so, she'd find a different school that wanted it.
Anyways…
She said I was really lucky because I came on a day that they were starting a new project…and there was no way I'd be able to catch up on the last two projects.
Today we were starting on making glass plates. We have a sketchbook that we create a design in and then we're given a plain glass looking plate. After that we cut out pieces of colored glass and place them on the plain plate and then it all gets melted in. Sounds like fun! ~_~
Fourth Period was Drawing & Painting with Mrs. Faller…back on the third floor. I was on time, but that was only because her class is right next to the stairs leading down to the second floor. I had a class like this back at my old school, but the teacher was a pervert and inappropriate with his female students, so I didn't take his class.
Anyways today we were learning about symmetry…it was actually started last Friday. This is a class that I have with Zoey and Bridget, but they won't be in today; they won't be in class until later today because Zoey has a doctor's appointment and Bridget has a dentist appointment.
Oh well…I'll see them later…or tomorrow.
Next up was Study Hall with Mrs. Tafte on the second floor. She was nice and all…but she just sits at her desk reading magazines or something. So, I just worked on my algebra and a little bit of history.
Mr. Ikisatashi wouldn't give me any of the learning material from last month; he's onto something new and doesn't have time or something like that. Mrs. Jacks on the other hand; she gave me everything from last month, saying how I was very mature for my age.
Lunch is in the commons area or the cafeteria on the first floor…and today because Zoey and Bridget still weren't here; so it was very lonely.
My next class was 3-D Art with Ms. Pepe on the first floor. It's my first class on the first floor!
Sorry about that…but all my classes are pretty much on the second and third floors.
Anyways, the first floor is the biggest floor out of all three floors in the school…so I became very lost and was five minutes late.
Mrs. Pepe was very mad about that until she realized that I was new; she apologized and sent me to a spot and explained what we were doing today. Today we would be making cardboard cutouts of our initials…all three of them.
My full name is Emmeline Nixie Moore. ENM…
This should be interesting because I have to use a box knife…I'm not very good with knives…
Next class was another study hall…
This one was on the third floor with Mr. Carlton; he didn't seem too thrilled in having a new student. There were a lot of students in this study hall…so I just kept to myself and finished about a third of my history homework.
My next class was on the second floor with Mr. Gregory, and it was Mythology.
I had some issues finding his class, so I was late by five minutes; but he didn't seem to mind. He said that because this was my first day here I was excused from any kind of punishment.
Mythology is a fun class and Mr. Gregory is a very nice teacher. Right now we're studying Greek Mythology. But because I missed a month, they're almost done with the first part of Greek Mythology and are about to take their tests on it before moving on. They were just finishing up on "The Void" also known as "Chaos." But that's ok; I'll catch up and be able to take the test with everyone else in the class.
Normal P.O.V.:
Ninth Period:
"Back to the first floor…" Emmeline mumbled as she trudged down the stairs.
When she made it to the bottom of the stairs, she ran into someone.
"Oh, I am so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going! I'm soo sorry! Oh, here, let me help you! It's the least I could do!" Emmeline freaked out as she helped whoever she bumped into, pick up whatever they dropped.
"It's perfectly fine." A male voice said calmly as he picked stuff up.
"Shouldn't you be getting to class?" The man asked calmly.
"Yes! I have to find… Mathematical Physics with Mr. Coolridge! I gotta go! Again, I'm sorry!" Emmeline exclaimed before taking off.
"You're going the wrong way!" The man called, getting Emmeline's attention.
"Huh?" Emmeline asked confused.
"His room is down that hall four rooms and to the right." The man said calmly.
"Thank you." Emmeline said as she walked to where he told her to go.
"Weird kid…" 'But, she was kind of cute… What am I thinking? She's a student; I'm a teacher.' The man said before walking away, while thinking to himself.
By the time Emmeline got to Mr. Coolridge's room, she was out of breath.
"Are you ok?" The teacher, Mr. Coolridge asked, concerned when he seen Emmeline.
"Yes, I'm ok…just a little lost and turned around. If it weren't for another teacher, I would've been lost and late…again…" Emmeline breathed.
"Oh, you must be the new student. Let's see…Ms. Moore?" Mr. Coolridge asked, looking at her.
"Yes…I'm Emmeline Moore." Emmeline managed to get out as she got her breath back, before handing him her slip and the paper he needed to sign.
"Well, it's nice to meet you. And you're not even close to being late; there's still five minutes until class starts. I hear from Mr. Harper that you're only fifteen, but are a junior this year." Mr. Coolridge said as he signed the paper and handed it back to her.
"Yes, that's correct." Emmeline said calmly.
"I also heard from other teachers that you're asking for last month's lessons as well." Mr. Coolridge said, looking amazed.
"That's also correct." Emmeline responded.
"Well…since I heard that; I got last month's papers and such all set up…if you want them that is." Mr. Coolridge said calmly.
"That's so awesome; thanks so much." Emmeline said happily, very thankful.
"You're very welcome. So…do you mind the first row?" Mr. Coolridge asked, looking at Emmeline.
"No, that's fine; I don't mind. I'd probably be able to see better in the front anyways." Emmeline replied with a smile.
"Good. You may take this seat right here; this will be your seat for the rest of the semester. This is only a semester class. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask." Mr. Coolridge said with a smile as Emmeline sat down.
"Thank you." Emmeline said as other students started walking in.
"You're welcome." Mr. Coolridge said as he went back up to the front of the class.
"Ok class; today we have a new student joining us. Her name is Emmeline Moore; please make her feel welcome. Now, onto what we will be learning today…" Mr. Coolridge said calmly.
Emmeline's P.O.V.:
That class was fun; Mr. Coolridge is nice and slowly explains things.
But for the most part, I understand everything.
But now, it's onto my worst subject ever…Science; and it's advanced.
Now, if I could just find where I'm supposed to be…
After wandering the halls for about ten to fifteen minutes, I ran into Mr. Gregory.
"Are you lost again?" He asked, looking at me with a soft smile.
"…Yes…" I mumbled.
"Where are you supposed to be; maybe I can be of help." He said calmly.
"AP Science 1 with Mr. Grant." I replied softly.
"Oof…that's a tough class. It's also on the other side of the school. Follow me." He said with a sigh as he led the way.
Normal P.O.V.:
"So what do you think of the school so far Ms. Moore?" Mr. Gregory asked calmly.
"It's different from my last school; that's for sure." Emmeline replied softly, looking around.
"Yes, I bet. Do you think you'll be happy here?" Mr. Gregory asked.
"I think so…if I can remember where all my classes are and I don't keep getting lost." Emmeline replied with a soft smile.
"Is it much bigger here?" Mr. Gregory asked.
"So much bigger." Emmeline replied, looking around.
"And how are your classes going for you? Do you like them; are you happy with them so far?" Mr. Gregory asked, interested.
"Oh yes; I love them all. And I love the fact that I was able to choose most of them." The girl said with a smile.
"Wow; that's weird. The only students that get to pick most of their classes here are juniors and seniors." Mr. Gregory said, a bit shocked; she never explained to him that she was a junior. Mythology could be taken by sophomores and up.
"I am a junior." Emmeline said softly; she realized she hadn't told him yet.
"I don't mean to be rude or anything, but you look too young to be a junior." Mr. Gregory said, still a bit shocked.
"Technically speaking I am; I'm only fifteen. I only turned fifteen in May. But I skipped a few grades; would've graduated this year if I hadn't been so sick a few years back and was then held back…twice." Emmeline replied softly.
Mr. Gregory couldn't say anything; he was in too much shock now.
"Now now Mr. Gregory; you shouldn't be too shocked. We've had many students come here that have been over achievers and such. Ms. Moore, how are you doing?" Principal Harper asked calmly.
"Oh, I'm doing well; and I'm glad to be here. And, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to be called by my first name, Emmeline, if you'd please. Mr. Gregory was just escorting me to my final class; I got lost…again." Emmeline said softly as she put her hand behind her head, embarrassed.
"Oh I see; yes, this school is bigger than your last school, isn't it? Give it time and you'll know how to get to each of your classes in your sleep. What class do you have next and who is the teacher?" Principal Harper asked.
"Oh, um I have AP Science 1 with Mr. Grant." Emmeline said, looking at her schedule.
"Ah yes. If I'm correct, science is the one subject you struggle with." Principal Harper said, looking directly at Emmeline.
"Yes, that's correct…" Emmeline mumbled.
"Hahaha. That's ok; nobody's perfect, not even me or any of the teachers here. Everybody; and I mean everybody has a gray area. But anyways, Mr. Grant is an excellent teacher and usually does his best to accommodate his students. He's actually one of our best teachers here; him, Mr. Coolridge, Mr. Ikisatashi and Mr. Gregory here. But Mr. Grant specializes in science. Ms. Emmeline, just take it easy and you'll do fine. I'm sorry that you had to transfer to a new school where you don't know anyone; but you will. You just wait and see." Principal Harper said with a smile.
"Oh but I do have friends here already; they've been coming here for years. They've also wanted me to come to school with them; we even have a few classes and lunch together." Emmeline said with a smile.
"Oh, and who are these friends of yours?" Mr. Gregory asked.
"Zoey Hanson and Bridget Verdant." Emmeline replied, shocking Mr. Gregory, who held his tongue.
"That's so great; it's always good to have someone. Well anyways, I have to get back to my office now. You go on and get to your next class and have a good last hour." Principal Harper said as he left to go to his office.
"Bye." Emmeline said softly.
"Ok, this is Mr. Grant's class room. Now before you enter, I must warn you; Mr. Grant is a nice guy and all, but he has a bit of a rough edge. Don't get on his bad side." Mr. Gregory warned.
'Oh my god… Are you kidding me? I passed this room four times…' Emmeline thought to herself as she looked at the door that read Mr. Grant in big bold letters.
"Ok, thank you." Emmeline said as she opened the door, slightly embarrassed with herself.
"May I help you?" A man in his mid twenties asked looking towards his door; Emmeline couldn't stop staring at him.
'That's the teacher I literally ran into earlier…' Emmeline said, staring at Mr. Grant.
"Yes; well I hope so. Mr. Grant, this is one of your students; she's new to the school and got lost looking for your classroom. I am just dropping her off. Have a good day." Mr. Gregory said simply, before taking off.
"Hello, I'm Emmeline Moore." Emmeline said softly, introducing herself to Mr. Grant.
'He's really good looking; also, he looks really young to be a teacher. But I shouldn't talk; I'm a fifteen year old junior; I should technically be a freshman or sophomore. Man, is he good looking? He has pretty blue eyes and great brilliant blonde hair. Oh my god what am I thinking? He's my teacher!' Emmeline screamed at herself as she continued to stare at him, so she would look somewhat normal.
Elliot's P.O.V.:
My name is Elliot Grant, I'm twenty-four and the AP Science 1 and 2 teacher here at Liberty High.
It seems that I just can't escape this damn school; I went here all through my school years. I come from a family with money; but my grades were also excellent; I was top of my class; I graduated at sixteen and started working here at nineteen.
My best friend, Wesley Coolridge teaches Mathematical Physics and Intro to Chemistry; my other best friend, Sardon Ikisatashi teaches AP Algebra.
I am so done after this semester…
Another long ass, boring day…with a bunch of ungrateful teenagers, who don't want to be here.
Sure, I was once a teenager not that long ago, but I liked going to school-eight years ago.
Nine hours of school, ten total classes with an hour lunch. I have five AP Science 1 classes, three AP Science 2 classes, two study halls and an hour to talk to other teachers or see if any of the other science teachers need any help.
Not only is it a pain the ass to teach students who don't want to be here and be taught, it's a pain in the ass when I get females who think it's ok to try to use sex to get As or Bs; I get a few every year…
This is not what I imagined when I wanted to be a scientist and study science; I just wanted to be a scientist…doing good for the world.
"Mr. Grant!" I heard Principal Harper call for me. Great…
"Yes?" I asked, trying not to sound annoyed.
"I'm so glad I got your attention. Listen, you're going to have a new student in your final class of the day: AP Science 1. She seems a bit shy, so I want you to be pleasant and welcoming." Principal Harper said seriously…very seriously.
"Ok…" I said looking at him.
"I'm serious Elliot." He said very seriously; he never uses my first name.
"Ok; I understand." I said very seriously.
"She reminds me a lot of you; she's incredibly bright. And like you, she's got that one gray area. However, unlike you, her gray area is science; whereas, yours is creative writing." Principal Harper said calmly.
"Thanks for reminding me… If she's not strong at science, why is she in AP Science?" I mumbled and then asked, confused.
"You're welcome. Well, with how high our standards at Liberty High are…especially the science, English/writing and math departments, she didn't have enough science credits." Principal Harper explained simply.
"Ok…so why AP Science?" I asked again, still confused.
"She passed all the other science classes at her last school; and the only science classes here that she qualified for were AP Science 1 and AP Science 2." Principal Harper said seriously before walking away; that's his way of ending a conversation.
Ninth Period:
"Hall patrol… I think Sardon has this hour off as well…" I mumbled to myself as I walked around.
As I reached the stairs and about to go up them, a girl bumped into me, knocking all my papers out of my hands; she somehow managed to keep a hold of her stuff.
"Oh, I am so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going! I'm soo sorry! Oh, here, let me help you! It's the least I could do!" Before I could say anything, the girl freaked out as she immediately bent down to pick up what I dropped.
"It's perfectly fine." I said as I picked up the rest of my papers.
'She's new; I don't believe I've ever seen her here before. Actually, I know for a fact I've never seen her before; I don't think I've seen anyone here with that color hair…or not that shade or whatever.' I thought to myself as I looked at her.
"Shouldn't you be getting to class?" I asked calmly, but seriously.
"Yes! I have to find… Mathematical Physics with Mr. Coolridge! I gotta go! Again, I'm sorry!" The girl exclaimed before taking off.
'She's a spaz… She's definitely new…' I thought to myself, before sighing.
"You're going the wrong way!" I called out to her.
"Huh?" She asked me, clearly confused.
"His room is down that hall four rooms and to the right." I said calmly, pointing down the hall.
"Thank you." She said as she walked to where I told her.
"Weird kid…" 'But, she was kind of cute… What am I thinking? She's a student; I'm a teacher.' I said before heading back up to the third floor, while thinking to myself.
Normal P.O.V.:
"Hey Elliot, what are you doing up here?" Sardon asked, walking over to Elliot when he got to the top of the stairs.
"Hall patrol. You?" Elliot asked calmly.
"Same." Sardon said as they started walking around.
"How's Bridget?" Elliot asked, interested.
"She's fine; she got back from her dentist appointment right after lunch, I do believe." Sardon said as they watched for students who were ditching class.
"Where is this dentist?" Elliot asked right away; the nearest dentist to them was about fifteen minutes away; she shouldn't have been gone that long.
"She goes to her uncle; he has his own practice…two hours away. They get the family discount." Sardon explained calmly.
"Ahh…that makes sense." Elliot said as they headed to the second floor to make their rounds.
"Something up; you seem deep in thought." Sardon said, looking at Elliot.
"Just this girl… I'm guessing she's new because she was clearly lost. She wasn't paying attention…well neither was I…not completely anyways. But anyways, we ran into each other and she freaked out, immediately apologized and bent down to help pick everything up. None of the other students here would even bat an eye to help pick something up. She's new and young enough…it won't be long until they get to her and she becomes like them. But at the same time, there's something about her…" Elliot said as they walked on, searching the halls.
"Tiny girl with long orangish colored hair with black highlights, blue eyes with glasses and is a little pale?" Sardon asked as they continued to walk.
"Yeah, that sounds about right. You've seen her then?" Elliot asked, looking at Sardon.
"Ahh…what is this I see?" Sardon asked, looking directly at Elliot.
"What is that look for?" Elliot asked, looking at Sardon.
"You're interested in this girl; you like her." Sardon said in a teasing tone.
"What are you talking about? I'm not you; I don't date students. And she's like fourteen or something like that." Elliot said, becoming defensive with a blush.
"The blush on your face says otherwise. Yes, Bridget and I are dating; and we have been for two years…since she was thirteen and I was twenty-three. She's now fifteen and I'm twenty-five. Age is just a number. Besides, did you know, fifteen is the legal age nowadays? Elliot, maybe you should get to know her…if you can. Her name is Emmeline Moore and she's not fourteen; she's fifteen." Sardon said seriously, but at the same time calmly.
"How do you know all that?" Elliot asked, confused.
"She's in my first period AP Algebra class. I highly doubt she'll be swayed by other students here. Not if what Bridget told me was true." Sardon said calmly.
"And what was that? And what does Bridget know?" Elliot asked, severely interested.
"Your peak in interest keeps going up, which tells me that you really are interested in Ms. Moore. Emmeline is one of Bridget's best friends; her and Zoey. But anyways, Bridget tells me that Emmeline is a very shy girl, even shyer than Bridget, if you can believe that. But, she also said that Emmeline is the type of girl who is very pure of heart, puts others before her own wellbeing, and is kind of a spaz. But, here's the best part…I mean I can't say anything because I've only known her a day; but Bridget tells me that Emmeline has an eidetic memory. I watched her closely in class; there's something special about her. You know Bridget; you know she's smart. Bridget, herself said specifically that Emmeline is five times smarter than herself. This year is going to be interesting, I'm telling you." Sardon explained seriously, folding his arms across his chest.
"Wow…" Elliot said, somewhat in shock.
"You should talk to her some time." Sardon said as they stood by the stairs; the bell was going to ring for final period.
"Do you know the chances that I'll actually see her again?" Elliot asked annoyed.
"You never know…" Sardon said with a smile; he knew something Elliot didn't.
"What do you know?" Elliot asked, looking directly at Sardon, seeing it in his face.
"Whatever do you mean? See you later." Sardon asked, and then said with a smile just as the bell rang.
'Damn him…' Elliot thought to himself as he started heading for his classroom.
Twenty Minutes Later:
Elliot's P.O.V.:
"Ok class, pop quiz." I said calmly, looking at everyone.
"Awww man!" All my students complained.
"Don't "awww man" me. You know the routine; I do pop quizzes at the beginning of every month. Now, if you've been paying attention and doing all the work, you'll be just fine. If not…well, it's just a pop quiz and you can learn from it." I said seriously, and very annoyed; I told these kids last month that we'd have a pop quiz at the beginning of each month…unless of course we just had a test.
'Oh, that's right; Principal Harper said I was getting a new student today… Great…another student who doesn't want to be here; she's already fifteen minutes late.
At least this is the last class of the day.
Suddenly, the classroom door swung open and in walked Mr. Gregory-he was one of the English teachers-and a young girl who seemed lost. Wait, that's that girl from before. Emily or something like that.
"May I help you?" I asked Mr. Gregory, slightly annoyed; he was my least favorite teacher here. I don't know what it was, but there was something I didn't trust about him
"Yes; well I hope so. Mr. Grant, this is one of your students; she's new to the school and got lost looking for your classroom. I am just dropping her off. Have a good day." Mr. Gregory said simply before leaving.
I just stared at her; there's no way she can possibly be my new student; she's only fifteen.
"Hello, I'm Emmeline Moore. This is AP Science 1 with Mr. Grant?" She asked softly.
"It is; I'm Mr. Grant." I told the girl.
"Oh thank you Mr. Gregory… I've been looking for the last fifteen minutes or so. I got lost a few times; this school is a lot bigger than the last one I went to." She said as she caught her breath.
"How can I help you; are you looking for someone in particular?" I asked her, confused as to why she's here.
I mean, I know what Mr. Gregory said; but she's only fifteen; that would make her a sophomore at most. AP Science 1 is for juniors.
"Yes, I'm looking for you. You said this was AP Science 1 and that you were Mr. Grant, correct?" She asked me politely.
"Yes, what can I help you with?" I asked her; I decided to play along.
Normal P.O.V.:
"Man, she's cute." One the male students in class whispered.
"Yeah, she is; she's the new girl." Another male student whispered.
"Not much is known about her, other than she's smart; maybe she's weird." A female student whispered.
"That's enough now; quiet down and finish your pop quiz! If you've finished that, start reading pages 56-82!" Elliot exclaimed, shocking his students and Emmeline; but she didn't show it as her mind had momentarily gone blank.
"Now, back to you…" Elliot said, looking at Emmeline.
'She's so tiny; I can't believe she's fifteen. Sardon was wrong about her being pale; she's just fair skinned. And her hair; well, it's definitely long; it reached the middle of her back. Not only that, but it's also wavy; and the color was more of an orangish-brown color with black undertones. Her eyes were a beautiful sky blue, with glasses that sparked teal everywhere except the lenses. She wore the typical school uniform with thigh high socks.' Elliot thought to himself as he looked Emmeline over.
"Yes; I'm in your class this year." Emmeline said simply, with a smile, handing him a note and the normal piece of paper to have signed by all your teachers when you're new here.
Elliot was confused; there's no way she's a junior.
"If you don't mind my asking, but how old are you?" Elliot asked, looking at her.
'I just have to make sure. She sure as hell wasn't sixteen or seventeen; she didn't even look fifteen, like Sardon claimed.
"I just turned fifteen on May 15th." She replied back calmly.
"Oh, there must be a mistake; my class is for juniors or seniors only." Elliot told her calmly.
"I know; I'm a junior." Emmeline said just as calm; once again confusing Elliot.
"But you said you were only fifteen." Elliot said, still confused..
"Yes, that is correct; I skipped a few grades. So yes, while the typical juniors are between the ages of sixteen-seventeen, I am not; I am fifteen and I will be sixteen when I graduate next year. But, I'm also not your average fifteen year old. If it wasn't for being really sick and missing so much school a few years back, I would've graduated this or last year. But what are you going to do? Sick is sick, not much you can do about that is there?" Emmeline asked, smiling.
'She had a big smile with almost perfect teeth; they were a little uneven.' Elliot thought to himself.
"I guess not. So you're Ms. Emmeline Moore then?" Elliot asked, looking at her.
"Yep that's me. Sorry again for being late; this school is bigger than the one I used to attend…and I sorta, kinda got lost." She said smiling, with a sort of giggle.
'She really is a spaz; but as long as she does the work.' Elliot thought to himself, sighing.
"Ok…so you're shorter than the rest of the class it seems, so we'll have to stick you in the front so you can see the board and such. Cody, can you move to the back of the class please?" Elliot asked calmly, but seriously; this Cody gladly took the opportunity to move to the very back of the classroom.
"Ok, I'll give you some slack seeing as you're new here; you have two more freebies. After that, you'll get written up once as a courtesy, twice as a warning; if you're late a third time, you'll get detention. No ifs and or buts. Do I make myself perfectly clear?" Elliot asked, looking directly at Emmeline.
"Yes of course Mr. Grant; I understand." She replied softly.
"Good. Then there you are; please take a seat. Oh, and here's your text book. I'm sorry I have to do this to you but, you just got here and we just started a new subject last week. So while most of the class has to read pages 56-82; you'll have to read pages 35-82. Meet me at the end of the class, and I'll get you the pages that you missed. I don't want you to miss out on anything. Do I make myself clear?" Elliot asked her seriously.
'Of course he made himself perfectly clear; but that doesn't bother me. In fact I'm happy to catch on; so much so that I, like my other classes I'm going to ask to catch up on the last month I missed.' Emmeline thought to herself as she watched him.
"Yes Mr. Grant. I can take my seat now?" She asked politely.
That's a thing Elliot and most of the other teachers caught right away; she was polite…unlike many other students.
Elliot also noticed that, although she wasn't as pale as Sardon made her out to be, she was paler than most; he thought that maybe she moved from somewhere it rains all the time.
"Yeah go ahead." Elliot said simply.
Elliot sighed…it was now time to start the class.
Elliot's P.O.V.:
"Ok class; get out your notebooks; it's time to take notes!" I exclaimed loud enough, so that everyone could hear me.
I put my notes for the class to take up on the projector for them all to see.
I watched as the class took notes; my eyes immediately fell onto Emmeline; she was just staring at the board. I started to wonder if she knew what was going on.
After about twenty minutes of note taking, I had the class read the pages they were supposed to read until the bell rang.
"Emmeline, could you please come here?" I called Emmeline as she started getting up..
After everyone left, I looked at her and spoke, "I don't know if this is the right class for you." I told her.
"Why not?" She asked me, confused.
"When I have the class take notes, I watch everyone to make sure they are taking accurate notes. I watched you just stare at the screen every time I changed it; I never once seen you write anything until a little towards the change of each page…" I was going to continue, but she interrupted me.
"But I did take notes; and I got them all written down." She said and showed me her notebook; she indeed did have everything written down.
"But how?" I asked, confused.
"I told you; I wasn't your ordinary sixteen year old. My IQ is 135 and I'm considered a speed reader and writer. I read the first two Harry Potter books in one day; would've been three, but I got in trouble for not being active enough and was forced to go out and play. The only books that take me a long time to read are Stephen King's IT and The Stand. I'm sorry if I made it look like I wasn't paying attention; but for me, if I read and write stuff down at the same time, it never gets done. I may not be the best at science or math…but I like to learn; and I did pass Advance science 1 at my old school; so naturally they put me in Advanced Science 2. I'm just glad they didn't put me in any math classes this year; I'm really bad at that. Just because I have an IQ of 135 doesn't mean I know or am good at everything. Again, I'm sorry it looked like I wasn't paying attention; I really was." She said softly with a small smile.
"It's fine. Well, as long as you do the work; I guess it's fine." I said simply, while looking at her.
"So, I can stay in your class?" She asked softly.
"Yes…so long as you do the work." I repeated myself.
"Thank you; you won't regret it!" She said enthusiastically.
"Yeah, yeah…" I sighed.
'What is with this girl? I have never had a student who liked to learn like this before. And, she's only fifteen? I've also never had a student that I've felt attracted to.' I thought to myself.
"Mr. Grant?" She asked me, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yes, what is it?" I asked.
"You said you had papers for me?" She asked looking at me.
"Oh yes; sorry about that. Here you go; I would like to have these papers on my desk in the next two weeks." I told her calmly; I was just ready to leave school for the night. Oh, that's right, I have a teachers board meeting to attend…damn.
"Yes, of course. Mr. Grant?" She asked again.
"Yes, what is it?" I asked.
"Would it be ok if I read from page one to the page I'm supposed to read? Or are you one of those teachers who skips around?" She asked me.
"No, I don't skip around; do you really want to do that?" I asked, shocked and confused.
"Yes, I would. I'll need to know the material for when exams come around." She said with a smile.
"I could just block all that out for you." I said, but she interrupted me.
"Oh no, I couldn't ask you to do that for me. Just because I'm new here doesn't mean I should get any special treatment. Plus, I'm only a month behind. Sorry, it took me a while to get here and everything. Besides, how am I ever going to learn anything if I don't learn the material and get passes?" She asked me; she really was different.
"Well, ok then…see me after class tomorrow and I'll have the rest of the pages for you." I told her simply.
"Ok, thank you." She said softly.
Normal P.O.V.:
"You are so weird." Elliot and Emmeline heard a female student at the door.
"Zoey! Bridget!" Emmeline cried, running to and hugged them
"Emmeline, you made it!" The two called, hugging her back.
Elliot knew both of them…in a sense. He's had Zoey in study hall before…and he's seen her around; she usually sleeps during study hall…and in math class. And then there's Bridget; she's dating one of his best friends, Sardon.
Needless to say, it was a shock to Elliot when he found out that Sardon was dating one of his students; but whatever makes him happy is the conclusion Elliot came to. Bridget is decently smart as well; she is in Sardon's AP algebra class.
Not to mention, Elliot was also starting to have feelings for one of his students. But, he wouldn't act on his feelings because she probably already has a boyfriend or likes guys her own age.
Zoey was about two inches taller than Emmeline with long red hair down to a little below her shoulders, tied up in pigtails and brown eyes.
Bridget was taller than both girls with long green hair down to her lower back and pale blue eyes with glasses.
"Why do you have to be so damn smart? We could've been in classes together still! But no…you had to go and skip grades. I thought at least when you got really sick those two times a few years ago, we'd still have at least three years of school together. But no…you had to be smart; you're graduating next year! What are Bridget and I going to do without you for a whole year; you're leaving us in the dust! I'm kidding; relax! At least we have study hall and a few classes together; we can talk about this and that and boys!" Zoey exclaimed.
"I know you are; at least you'll have Bridget and your other friends here as well. Megan and Mimi, right?" Emmeline asked.
"Yes…but it won't be the same." Zoey said, making a face.
"We still have the rest of this year and all of next year together." Emmeline said softly.
"Yeah…" Zoey mumbled, but she had a smile.
"How many advanced classes are you in?" Bridget asked her softly.
"Never mind that; what classes are you in period?" Zoey asked.
"Oh um; I have a lot of fun classes." Emmeline said softly.
"Like what? Any cute boys…or teachers?" Zoey asked mischievously.
"Uh…Zoey!" Emmeline cried embarrassed.
"What? I'm just wondering. So what classes do you have that you consider fun?" Zoey asked again.
"Well I have AP Algebra, AP US History, Arts Metals and Glass, Drawing and Painting, Study Hall, 3-D Art, Study Hall, Mythology, Mathematical Physics and AP Science 1. I'll tell you what I have next semester when we get closer to it. I wanted to take English Lit as well this semester, but they told me I needed a second study hall instead… I would've been fine with just one study hall. But, I suppose I can't complain too much; I got to choose most of my classes this and next year; I love this school!" Emmeline said with a big smile;
'She's not only cute; she's funny too… Gahhh! What am I thinking?!' Elliot mentally screamed at himself.
"I don't know how you can; I would've rather gone to your school; you only had eight classes and they started at 8:00 AM instead of 7:00 AM." Zoey said, annoyed.
"Yeah, well that's a big change, but I don't mind; I like all the classes and being here. Plus, unlike my old school, I get to pick most of my classes…with a few that are mandatory." Emmeline said with a soft smile.
Even though it was crooked, Elliot loved her smile; it made his heart soar.
"Speaking of which; how did you manage to get out of Health Class? That's mandatory and you're not in it. I mean, I know how you got out of P.E. " Zoey said looking at her.
"I took the exam for it two months ago; they told me if I could pass that, I didn't have to take the class. But I still need Physical Education credits; so I have to do at least half an hour of exercise on my own time." Emmeline said simply.
'She must have some kind of health issue. That's the only way she'd be able to get out of P.E.' Elliot thought to himself as he watched the girls.
"Lucky. So, are you ready to go then?" Zoey asked.
"Go where?" Emmeline asked, confused.
"To go to the mall; you said you'd go, remember? Mark is waiting and Sardon said he'd give us a ride." Zoey said simply.
'How the hell did they get Sardon to agree to go shopping? He hate's going shopping…especially with a bunch of girls. Honestly, I'm very surprised Emmeline and Zoey are friends; they're so different. But, I shouldn't judge or anything…at least she has friends.' Elliot thought to himself in shock
"Mark's going to be there? Who's Sardon?" Emmeline asked, looking at the two, confusion written all over her face.
"Of course Mark's going to be there; come on, he's not a bad guy." Zoey said simply; it was clear Emmeline didn't like him though.
"As long as you're happy and he doesn't hurt you, I guess…who is Sardon again?" Emmeline asked softly.
"That's the spirit! Sardon is Bridget's boyfriend by the way; he's a teacher here." Zoey said, pushing the girls in the room while whispering the last part so only we could hear.
"He's actually Mr. Ikisatashi…our AP Algebra teacher." Bridget said with a smile.
"Oh…but why did you push us in here? Mr. Grant is here." Emmeline said, slightly confused.
"Elliot is one of Sardon's best friends; he knows." Bridget said as she waved; Elliot waved back.
"Oh…" Emmeline replied as she looked around.
"So, you're coming right; we can see if we can get you a boyfriend." Zoey said with a smile, causing Emmeline to turn very red in the face.
"N-no…no I-I'm good. I'll go, but no boy searching…" Emmeline stuttered out.
'Definitely a shy girl… Well…this is just bad…' Elliot thought to himself; he was ready to start banging his head on his desk…or chalkboard.
"There you girls are; did you find Emmeline yet? If you want to go to the mall we need to go now. I have a family thing tonight, remember?" Sardon asked as he came to the room.
"Yep, this is our friend Emmeline; we're totally ready to go." Zoey said as she dragged Emmeline out of the room.
"Wait…I need to see Principal Harper…" Elliot heard Emmeline pleading with Zoey.
"Yes, I have her in one of my classes… See you later Elliot." Sardon said, sighing, before smiling and winking at Elliot, making Elliot wonder just how much Sardon knew…or what he had planned.
Elliot's P.O.V.:
"She really does seem socially awkward…and VERY soft spoken. But, she is certainly very cute…" I said, once they were out of the room, before finally slamming my head into my arms on my desk.
"Wow, you're still here? I would've thought you'd be gone by now. Is something wrong?" My best friend, Wesley asked, coming into the room.
"No, everything's fine; I would've been gone already, but Zoey Hanson and Bridget Verdant stopped by to see their friend." I said as I got my things.
"Oh? I thought this class was just for juniors and seniors; who do they know that's a senior? I know both girls very well." Wesley said simply, staring at me.
"Uh, she's a new girl from a different school; I guess she's almost a genius. She's a fifteen year old senior; her name is Emmeline Moore." I explained.
"Oh yes; I've heard of her. Principal Harper has been trying to get her to this school for the past two years; guess he finally got her. Sardon tells me you have great interest in her." Wesley said simply.
"Shut up." I said making Wesley chuckle at me
Wesley J. Coolridge III or Mr. Coolridge is one of my best friends; him and Sardon. He has long brown hair he keeps tied into a ponytail and pale blue eyes. He's pretty tall and your typical science nerd; he even looks the part.
"I see. Well, let's get out of this place." I said as I got up.
"Ok, where to?" Wesley asked me.
"Home." I said as I headed out of my class room.
With Emmeline:
Emmeline's P.O.V.:
"I'm home… Are you all hungry?" I asked, looking at my and my grandma's cats.
I fed them before going to my room and plopping on my bed; I had a long day.
School and then shopping with Zoey, Bridget, Mr. Ikisatashi…and Mark…
I learned that Mr. Ikisatashi was a great guy who treated Bridget really well.
I also learned that I still don't trust Mark and that he's still a pervert; he keeps grabbing my butt… But I can't tell Zoey that; she's so madly in love with him. One of her other friends told her the truth, but Zoey didn't believe her; so I can't tell her that because I don't want to lose her as a friend.
I'd better get started on my school work…
Two Weeks Later:
Normal P.O.V.:
So the next two weeks went by and Emmeline somehow became Elliot's best student…even with her lack of knowledge of science. However, she's the only one that tries and actually puts in the work.
"Ok class; it's that time of the year again. Thursday I will be having a study session at my home starting at six; come or don't come; it's up to you. I hope to see some of you there…" Elliot said, handing out flyers with all the information on it.
Just then, the bell rang, indicating the end of the day.
"Alright class; remember to get that homework assignment done and handed in tomorrow. Have a good day and be safe." Elliot said seriously as everyone left.
