Disclaimer: I still don't own Degrassi. You could sue me, but you'd get a bunch of books on US History.
Also, I have some ideas on where I want the story to go with Iris/Craig, but I was wondering about the subplot thing. I'd like one, but have no ideas-Marco/Dylan? Sean/Emma? if anyone has any ideas, let me know.-MsZ
Chapter Two: Miss Masters
Winter Break was over, second semester was to begin. Craig still wasn't happy, and he wondered if it had to do with Iris. He kept thinking about her, he'd even thought about going back to the club to see her, but he just couldn't do it. He liked her enough to not lie to her.
"Back to Mr. Simpson's room, for another semester."
"I'm going to be seeing a lot of him, Marco. Intro to web design and computer science, plus homeroom." Craig had dropped shop class, and decided that web design might to him better. Joey was happy, he was full of ideas for the webpage for Jeremiah Motors, and figured Craig would be good help.
The two boys walked into the room, then stopped short.
Sitting next to Mr. Simpson on the end of a desk, was Iris. She was dressed in a long skirt and blouse, her hair was up in a bun, she looked mature, professional.
"Craig? Marco? You're blocking the doorway, dudes." Spinner pushed his way through the door. Craig and Marco went to their seats.
"Iris. Its Iris. What is she doing here?"
"I don't know, Craig...I'm not the one who slept with her, maybe she's here to see you."
"Marco, be serious."
The bell rang and homeroom began.
"Class, I'd like to introduce you to my student teacher, Miss Masters. She will be with me all semester. I hope you make her feel welcome."
Craig could feel himself sliding lower in his seat. She was his student teacher. and he'd have to see her three times a day. This could not be good.
Iris was talking. "My name, as Mr. Simpson told you, is Miss Masters. I'm a senior at York University, studying computer science, education, and English Literature. If you need any help from me, please ask. I hope to enjoy my stay here, and get to know you students better." She even sounded different as Miss Masters than she had as Iris. He just stared at her all homeroom, and then left for class, realizing that he'd be back for two more periods. Two more classes of nothing but staring at this woman he'd spent a perfect night with, but knew he couldn't have. This was going to suck.
This was going to suck, Iris Masters thought to herself, second period, as she sat with Archie Simpson during prep period. "OK, so next up is computer science-basic two periods, than advanced. Fifth and sixth are media immersion again, and seventh is web design,"
"that's right iris. Is something wrong?"
"I...I don't think I can talk about it, Archie."
"Are you sure? If not me, than my wife....you should have dinner with us sometime."
"That would be nice. Its odd, being here instead of on campus in classes." Iris smiled. She was very happy to be at Degrassi, and finally teaching. But there was a problem. Craig Manning. She'd learned his last name, finally in homeroom. Which was the problem-he was in homeroom. He was in Grade 10. At least for years younger than her-and she was young for her level of education.
Every night she'd wished to see him again, hoping he'd come, and he never came to see her. At least now she knew why, she could move on. After all, it was only homeroom, right?
He was in third period computer science. She could handle that. She was doing fine. Iris Masters, always did fine, after all.
But he had to also be in last period Intro to Web Design. She knew then she had to talk to him. It was going to be impossible to teach correctly if she didn't talk to him, get things cleared up. It was the only reasonable thing to do so she could move on.
Craig sat next to Marco, as they worked on the assignment. It was just to get them used to using the computers, they would start working from the workbook the next day.
Just then a message popped up for Craig. It was from IMasters
IMasters: Craig.
CManning: Iris.
IMasters: I just wanted to say hello.
CManning: I'm sorry.
IMasters: Yeah, well, so am I.
CManning: We should talk. If its OK with you that is.
IMasters: Yes. Do you know where Leblanc Music is?
CManning: Yes. Seven OK? It'll take me a while to get there.
IMasters: Yes, seven's fine. I should get back to work.
With that she logged off.
"What was that about?"
"What was what about? Craig played innocent with Marco.
"What are you talking about?" Sean looked at them.
"Sean, you remember Iris from the party and the club?" Sean nodded at Marco "She's Mr. Simpson's new student teacher."
"Oh, Craig" Sean understood now.
"She messaged him during class, and don't lie to me, I saw a message from IMasters pop up,"
" She did message me. I'm meeting her at seven, at Leblanc Music. I think we need to talk before...things get awkward, I mean, she's a teacher."
"Sure, talk" Sean nudged Craig.
"Yes, talk. I gotta go pick up Angie" Yes, talk. that was all Craig had planned on. She was a teacher after all.
Iris and Craig meet to talk in chapter three, "an educated choice" coming soon.
