Morgan sat on a crate, waiting for his class to come out of the locker rooms. He had practical PE today, and had no idea what to teach them. He had briefly talked to Kelly who had mentioned something about soccer. So Morgan decided to get them to play a game out on the field.

The boys were the first out, and all hung around just talking while waiting for the girls to do the same. "Do they always take this long?" Morgan asked one of the boys in the class.

He shrugged. "Got to make sure their hair is perfect and their makeup is done" he replied just as JJ, Kelly and Samantha walked out.

"So Sir, why don't you tell us about yourself?" Samantha asked. Kelly poked her. "What?" she hissed back. Morgan chuckled.

"All you need to know is that I am your PE teacher and if you mess around in my class, you'll be in trouble." He then asked Kelly to go back into the locker room and tell the girls they had 5 minutes to be changed and ready to go.

He got up and started pacing. Samantha walked up to him. "You got a girlfriend?" she asked.

"I'm married actually," he replied and Samantha ran off to tell everyone else. JJ walked up to him and overheard the last part of the conversation.

"Married?"

"I get the feeling she likes me… so I thought why not get her off my back with a small lie," he replied then changed the subject "So… looking forward to PE?"

She shrugged. "Depends what we are doing."

"Soccer"

The arrival of the rest of the girls stopped JJ from replying. "Finally," Morgan said smiling. "Ok we are going to go onto the field and break off into two teams for a game of soccer. And I want to see everyone participating."

He grabbed the bag with soccer balls and led them outside. He had them run a lap around the field to warm up.

He split the class up into two teams and got them started on the game before walking off to the side lines and sitting down to watch them play. Half the girls kept looking over towards him and trying to show off. However, Morgan's attention wasn't on them. In fact, he barely glanced at them. He tried to watch the whole game, but his attention kept going back to JJ.

She was one of the best soccer players on the field. Of course, it didn't help that a few of them weren't trying. He saw a group of girls just standing around not trying. They were too busy talking. He also saw JJ on the opposite team running towards them, dribbling the ball, looking like she was going to score. Morgan quickly got up and ran onto the field and ran in front of where the girls were talking moving from side to side to try and stop JJ from scoring. She stopped and looked surprised to see him standing there, but quickly regained herself and tried to dodge to the left. Unfortunately, Morgan went to the left as well, and managed to tackle the ball away from JJ.

"No fair," she cried running after him down the field. "Well, no one down that end seemed to want to stop you, so I thought I would step in and help that team and also give you a bit of a challenge," Morgan said stopping the ball in the middle of the field.

"Up for one?" he asked.

She nodded and then raced after him. He dodged to the left but another member of JJ's team tackled the ball from Morgan and began to race up the other end of the field, passing it Kelly, who scored. The entire team cheered and Morgan smiled.

"Nice teamwork guys."

The game continued on like that for a while, until Morgan looked at his watch and noticed that there were five minutes left in the lesson. He blew the whistle and everyone came to a halt. "Go get changed," he commanded and all of them left the field to go to the locker rooms.

"Kate, can I talk to you?" Morgan called after her. She stopped and turned around, waiting for him to catch up with her. "Nice work," she commented when he caught up with her.

"Thanks. So how are you doing?" he asked as they two started walking towards the change rooms.

"Ok."

"That's good", he said. "Ah, the reason I asked you to stay behind was because I think you should join the soccer team. You're a natural."

"I don't know" JJ replied "I mean… I have cheerleading, and I'm still trying to catch up on the curriculum here."

"Think about it" he said winking and walking off. JJ was silent as she walked into the locker rooms and changed.

"Oh man, he is so hot," Chelsea commented. "Pity he's married"

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Samantha added. "Never mind, by the end of term, I will have him changing his mind."

Kelly leaned into JJ. "He married?"

"To the job," JJ whispered back. "But he does have a girlfriend"

"Hey, what you two whispering about back there?" Emma asked.

"Your chances of getting him," JJ said. "You guys have no hope"

"Says you, did you see the way he looked at you when we were playing soccer? He was so impressed by you." Emma said.

"Yeah, but then again, I bet she was just showing off," Chelsea said. JJ, who had finished changing, grabbed her bag and walked out, followed by Kelly.

"We have science, don't want to be late" Kelly said grabbing JJ's hand and dragging her down the corridor.

"He is so cute," Isabelle commented. Cheerleading practice had just finished and they were all standing in a big group on the football field gossiping. The current topic of choice; the new PE teacher, Mr. Roberts.

"I know, and he's married… how much does that suck?"

Emma's phone rang and she answered it while everyone else continued to talk about the new PE teacher.

"That was Nick. He said they're going to meet us down at the café for dinner." Everyone agreed to go and they made their way down to reception so the boarders could sign out of the school.

JJ's phone rang and she quickly answered it with a "hello?"

"JJ," the voice on the other end said. JJ's heart began to beat faster when she heard the voice on the other end of the line.

"Will."
