Thank you to all who have read and reviewed this story. So sorry that I have not uploaded in like 6 months.. I decided to join the military and I have not had any time. But all is well now and hopefully, if y'all want, I can post regularly.. maybe once a week or every other week. It'll just depend on my schedule. Just wanted to say that I'm back and hopefully I'll finish this thing :D Just saying I'm still learning how to write and if you catch any mistakes please tell me and I'll fix it. If you liked it please leave a good review, if you didn't like it.. well tell me why and I'll try to fix that as well. I know this chapter is short, but I hope you enjoy :3

"Okay, I'm not going to waste time doing this introductory shit…" he briskly walked around and passed around a packet to everyone.

"This is a poetry packet. I want this annotated and each stanza paraphrased by the end of the week. Just a heads up we'll be having one every week." I hear murmurs and complaints across the room, which is expected since we're never assigned homework unless it was an essay we had to do for a final or something.

I look around the classroom and become highly annoyed. ALL of the girls are making heart eyes at this student teacher. Seriously.. I don't see why. He's probably shorter than everyone in this room.. maybe even shorter than Connie.

"Ummmm… Mr. uhhh Levi.. can we ask you a couple of personal questions.. you know to break the ice" Hitch asked. Sounding utterly stupid I might add.

"I said I wasn't going to waste your time with an introductory because I thought it would be more beneficial, however since teenagers these days seem to want to know every last detail, here's what I'll give you. I'm 24….I'm.. I'm shit at introducing myself. I suppose if you want you can each ask one question" He looked extremely annoyed. I wonder why he wants to be a teacher if he hates teens.

"Are you married?" One of the girls ask. Ugh what do they see in him.

"No. "

"How tall are you?" Connie asked, probably to see if Levi is or is not actually taller than him. Levi looked quite upset at the question, but seemed to maintain his 'I don't give a fuck' composure.

"I'm 5'3. Yes, I am short. Get over it." I look over at Connie to see him a bit annoyed, I guess Levi is taller.. ha poor Connie.

As each person asks a question, I slowly realize that I'll probably have to ask one as well… fuck I don't know what to ask him.

"Oi brat, are you going to ask something or is the wall more interesting than this." The class laughs as I just stare dumbfounded by his attitude.. he's definitely different from all of the other teachers.

"Why did you become a teacher?" He seemed taken aback, he's probably glad it's not another 'What's your favorite..' question.

"I don't know. It seemed like a good idea and I like books. I guess that's about it." That was probably the worst answer I have ever heard in my life.

As the clock struck 3:35 the bell rang and finally the day was over.

"Not so fast Jaeger, I need to speak with you" Fuck. Why. Ugh.. I hate life right now. I just want to go home and do nothing. Is that too much to ask for? I suppose so. I walk over to Levi/Smith's deck and take a chair to sit near Levi.

Mr. Smith looks at Levi and gives him a nod and slowly leaves the class.

"You know why I need to talk to you. Correct?"

"Is it because I'm failing" Of course it is. Why else would I still be in my English class after school

"Wow. Maybe you're not as dumb as you look. Yes, I've been informed that you only have a month to raise your grade. I'm not saying you have to because I don't have that power, however it would be strongly encouraged that you stay back and have me tutor you" An additional hour of English everyday with Levi after school. No thanks.

"Um.. thanks for the offer, but I think I'll manage on my own"

"Really? Jaeger I'm going to be real with you. It's going to take a miracle for you to raise your grade. You're basically going to need to do just about everything perfectly in order for you to even scrounge a D. I could help you with assignments after school and since I'm the one grading I'm pretty sure that you'd at least be able to do that" Uggggh he makes a good point. There's no way that he is a kind grader. He's basically offering to tell me how to do my homework, make sure I get the right answers, then grade the corrected assignment..

"Okay, when should I start" He looked slightly pleased, I bet the girls would love to see him less annoyed, he looked a lot better that way.. not that I care.

"How about next week. It'll give you a couple days to be 'free' " He put the air quotes around the word free. I just realized that he's really not that much older than I am. I suppose it gives him an excuse to still be able to use air quotes and not look that dumb.

"Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow Levi" I said with a chuckle. He smiled and waved me off.

I walk back home and go straight to my room. I grab my phone, plug in my headphones and drown out everything else in life. This is going to be a long month.. and with that thought I zone out into my music and eventually fall asleep
