Elsa Winters is not the typical type of girl you know. She's not rude, not fan girling over Justin Bieber, not wearing too much make up or showing off too much skin, not picky and most important, not aware of the fact that she's like a goddess to most males and some females. Sadly, or luckily, Elsa is already taken. She has a handsome boyfriend named John Parker, he's 26 and works for the Navy so he's on duty a lot which leaves Elsa for quite a while alone. Fortunately Elsa has a sister Anna (19) with whom she can visit. Anna, still lives at home with their father, goes to law school. She and Elsa are close sisters and see each other almost every day.
Elsa is an extraordinary girl, well woman, who graduated 7 years ago at the age of 15. Maybe you've already guessed it by now but Elsa is a little bit of a genius who spends most of her time solving Rubik's cube than deciding which pair of trousers suit her better. She speaks eight languages fluently and has taught herself to play the violin.
The appartement Elsa lives in is not very big, it's big enough for three of them. For Elsa and her boyfriend and for their dog, Seth. They live on the second floor with under them living a band member and above them two girls who are too excited about the fact that they're not under parental care anymore. Elsa enjoys solitude, it's not that she embraces it, it's that she doesn't mind being on her own.
Today is the first day of school. She is not looking forward to it, new school, new colleagues, new students urgghhh ! She wished her old school hadn't gone bankrupt so that she could have stayed. But there was nothing she could have done to help them, she isn't rich or something so donating money wasn't an option. Well, that's in the past. She now has to look in the future and that meant she was going to be expected at school in 45 minutes ! Elsa quickly ate her bread and grabbed her bag, she said the dog goodbye and got into her car. Off to school.
"Good morning Elsa." The headmaster greets her politely and hold the doors open for her. "Ladies first."
"Morning to you too, Mr. Weseltown." Elsa steps inside the building. Urrghh, he's creepy…
"So, looking forward to teach the most annoying class of the school ?" Mr. Weseltown smiles weirdly at her with his face full of wrinkles. It makes Elsa shiver. ..and annoying.
"I can't judge a class I haven't seen with my own eyes." She says cool. "We'll see, how hard can they be ?"
"Hmmm, then I wish you all the best of luck. You're going to need it…"
And with that, he was gone. Elsa sighs, well, she wasn't a prejudger and Mr. Weseltown probably worsened the situation than it was. Class F3A, where is that ? The east wing, but where am I standing right now ? God, I hate maps that don't have rasters. As Elsa was thinking about what the fastest route was to her class, a man comes standing behind her.
"Can I help you ?"
Elsa turns around. She faces a man with auburn hair. He has sideburns and wears glasses on his slender nose. The man looks at her, he smiles a bit, then he corrects himself.
"Oh, eh, my name is Hans Anderson. I teach history, nice to meet you."
Hans extends his hand for a handshake. Elsa lays her hand in his, he takes her hand, brings it up his chest and kisses her knuckles. His eyes never leaving her face. Elsa feels herself blushing.
"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr Hans Anderson." Elsa says shyly.
"So I noticed you were having problems, am I right ?"
"Eh yeah, see I am new to this building and I don't know where class F3A is. Do you happen to know the way ?"
"Of course, that's right across the class I have to teach. Come, I'll walk you there ! We have time, it's a 15 minute break for the students."
Hans and Elsa walk to the classrooms. Elsa thanks him and walks into her own room. She starts to unpack all her stuff and places a big mug with tea on the desk. She always carries that thing with her. She got it with christmas from her mother, it was the last christmas they've celebrated together until her mother passed away due to cancer. The mug will always have a special place in Elsa's heart and that way she carries a bit of her mother with her. Well, let the school begin !
Ten minutes after the school bell rang, her first students start to walk in. One guy, with long dreadlocks, stares at her like she is some kind of animal in a cage. Elsa is annoyed with that and decides to write her name down the whiteboard so that the students will know who she is. As she is writing, more students walk in and soon her class is full. When Elsa is done with the writing, she turns around to face her class. Wow, that's a loooot of people ! Ok, relax you can do this. Just introduce yourself…
Meanwhile, it is still a chaos in the class. Students are screaming and laughing, not paying attention at her at all. Elsa catches a few girls in the corner doing their make up. Tssss, as if they need all of that. Do boys really find that attractive in a girl ? A few boys at the back of the classrooms talking and whispering, every now and then looking at her and making weird sounds. Elsa blinks her eyes and looks in another direction. In the middle of the class are two girls sitting at one table bending over a paper, they're drawing and laughing softly about what they drew. Behind the girls are two boys, two very good looking boys. One has brown hair and one has white hair. Wait, he has white hair ? Has he dyed it or something, I can't imagine it's natural. Elsa herself has platinum blonde hair, it's next to white so it could be a mutation. Ok, time to bring order in this class.
"Quiet, class !"
It immediately becomes dead quiet. Every turned head turns around to look at her, Elsa feels the eyes on her. She knows she has to go on, so she does. After her introduction and reading all the names out loud, she lets out a sigh. That wasn't so hard. Now comes the most difficult part, having them paying attention to the second most boring subject: maths.
"Ok, now please take out your books and pencils. We're going to page 12, paragraph 1. Please take notes, everything is important."
As Elsa tries to explain the first lesson, she is slightly distracted by a boy who seem to look at her all the time. Frost was the name wasn't it ? It kind of annoys her but she doesn't say anything. Today is the first day, first impressions are critical, if she went all angry on the first day then they were definitely not going to respect her. She knew how these freshmen were. She herself was a freshman once, but that was at age 11. Not at age 18. And the freshmen's in her time weren't that nice to her. They laughed at her because she was a nerd, a geek and didn't have boobs. It was a hard time, she got bullied everyday and had absolutely no friends. But Elsa stayed strong and kept her goal in her head, she eventually graduated and look at where she now is.
Elsa goes on with her lessons, but every time she turns around to see who's is making notes, she can't help it but catching the boy in the second front row watching her. Ok, I've had enough !
"Mr. Frost, I'm pleased to see that I managed to grab your attention. However, I'd much more l have you paying attention on what I'm saying rather than on me. So if you're smart, then you write down henceforth what I'm saying because I'm not going to repeat it. Understood ?"
Mr. Frost embarrassingly takes out his pencil and begins immediately writing down the notes on the board. His head couldn't be any redder. Elsa kind of feels sorry for him, it was mean of her to say that out lout in class but she needs everyone to pay attention to make it to the next grade. She was certainly not going to give A's and B's as a gift. Her motto always had been: Hard work pays off.
The rest of the lesson went very well. The class was paying attention and Elsa is pleased. The bell rings and everybody rushes out of the class, including Mr. Frost.
After having finished the day off nicely, Elsa walks to her car. It's raining pretty hard and Elsa has to run to the vehicle so she won't be soaked wet. Quickly she steps into the car, slamming the door shut. As she starts the motor, she sees a figure standing in the rain, bent over a bicycle, holding an umbrella. She recognizes the figure and pushes the door open again.
"Haaansss ! What are you doing ?!"
Hans looks up from what he's doing. He was trying to unlock his bike so he could go home but the rain got in his eyes so he took out his umbrella to keep him dry. At least, it was supposed to do that. And with one hand holding an umbrella and with the other trying to unlock a four coded lock, isn't that easy.
"I'm trying to make the rain stop by this dance !" Hans says, he stops with focussing on his lock and he starts to dance very funny and weird in the rain, waving his hands high in the air and throwing his umbrella up.
Elsa laughs, this guy is just unbelievable !
"Come on in, it's dryer in the car." Elsa screams and slams her car door shut. She was not going to let the rain into the leather of her seat.
"Ok."
Hans stops his dance and gets in Elsa's car. He looks at her and then laughs. Elsa starts to laugh too, she sees Hans' face. It's soaked wet and his hair and sideburns have tiny raindrops on them. Then she looks into her mirror, and sees her own reflection. Her hair is as well totally wet and her bangs are sticking on the skin of her forehead.
"Thank you, but it wasn't necessary. I was just getting a nice shower…"
"You're welcome. I found it so sad for you that you had to stand there with your not waterproof umbrella. Where did you get that thing ? Most umbrella's I know are waterproof."
"Oh, I got it once on a flee market. It costed only ten dollars for me so I thought why not ? But yeah, this is the first time I actually use it so I had no idea it didn't work."
"Well, I thought you looked funny." Elsa chuckles. "So where do you have to go ? I can bring you if you want ?"
"Thanks, that would be great ! I need to go to 35th Avenue."
Elsa smiles, then she pushes the pedal in and drives away.
"So…Hans." She starts. "How long have you been working at this school ?"
"I uh, I came here at about 2 years ago. I really like the school, it turned better out than I thought it would. So how was your first day at school ? Were the students a bit nice to you ?"
"Haha, yeah, they were pretty nice. But they're 18 so they know pretty well how to behave." Elsa stops so that a bunch of nervous giggling schoolchildren can cross the road.
"Well, trust me, I've seen worse. One time I was teaching at a High School and nobody would listen to what I had to say. They were just like screaming and yelling and throwing sandwiches everywhere. It was a complete chaos so I eventually left. Is this your first job ?" Hans asks curious.
"Ah ok, ieuw that sounds disgusting. Anyways, I've been teaching for over 5 years now and I really like it. I started simple, at Kindergarten. Then at a Middle School but they got bankrupt so I ended up here." Elsa gives Hans a shy smile which he finds super cute.
"Wow, then you started teaching at a really young age ! How old were you ? Is that even illegal ?"
"I started teaching when I was 17 and I have no idea if that was illegal or not. Nobody said a word about it and you know, how hard can kindergarten be ? It was just the base of the ladder."
They arrive at Hans' adres and Elsa stops the car. "I think we're here."
She drops Hans at his appartement, the rains has already stopped and the air was clear and fresh. Hans stops to wave goodbye and then walks into the building. He's nice. And gorgeous, wait, I can't think that. I have a boyfriend ! Come on Elsa, get it together. Elsa nods her headand then drives to her own house. When she comes home, Seth already greets her happily. Waving his tail and butt and spraying saliva everywhere.
"Hey boy, are you so happy ? Are you so happy that I'm back home ? I think you need to go out for a walk. Do you wanna go ?"
In return Elsa got a sort of hug from Seth, meaning that he is thrilled to go outside with his favorite girl ! In the hurry, Elsa doesn't notice the envelop that is laying on her doormat. She takes the dog's leash and walks out.
"Ok, let's go then !"
That was chapter 2. I hope you liked it and feel free to review ! I'll try to update a.s.a.p.
