It was the first official day of his job in Middle school, and Arnold was in two departments right now: Exhausted and satisfied. The current grade he was teaching right now was 8th grade. The subject was History. He wanted to teach math as well, but seeing as they had many teachers already covered for that subject, he was perfectly fine with History.

Each period he met his students. Introduced himself finding some girls giggling and blushing each time he turned his attention towards them. Only one girl was so disruptive with her hyena like giggles that he paused the class to question her.

"Miss Nichols? Can you enlighten me on what is so funny?" Sitting on the edge of his desk, Arnold noticed how straightened herself up and her face became redder.

Playing with the ends of her hair appeared to be a nervous tick already before making her excuse. "I'm sorry. I was uh thinking of a joke I heard during um lunch."

Feeling that was a lie he was about to ask her to see him after class before the guy next to her spoke up. "She was telling her friend how she thinks your cute."

"Jeremy!" She cried out before placing her hands up in front of her face. "I did not!"

Nodding his head, Arnold straightened up. "Alright class I will not be editing history. I want to teach you it. I want you to learn from the pass to gain in your future. I might have a pop quiz in here to test out your knowledge. Please immerse yourself in it." One thing he didn't want to do was to have that girl embarrassed any further so that is why he didn't bother in any punishment. He's had plenty of crushes before in his life.

The newer batch of students on campus were made up of some guys that were constantly at Helga's shoes. Aggravated, she ensconced herself in the back to get a breather. Pulling out her phone she texted Arnold.

I miss your face in the library very badly - Helga

Grabbing her water from her locker, Helga wished she was in Natalie's position right now. Maternity leave. She'd rather be dealing with diapers and crying compared to hormones.

I take it you have guys hitting on you. I actually have some girls thinking I'm cute - Arnold.

Smirking down at her tiny screen, Helga shook her head.

I have walking large cocks around here. I ran back here to take a breather. Let Ruby handle them. Also of course they would have crushes on you. Handsome guy. Hot ass. ;) - H

I can come over there after school and you can bring me in the back again. - A

Feeling heated by that thought, Helga thought long and hard about that.

Tell you what. Do whatever you need to there and I'll come home to do whatever we need to do later. - H

Right then, Ruby came walking in just sighing away in frustration. "New rule: We kick them out the moment they give you any problem. That means the slightest."

"Still that bad. You all right?" Helga wondered as she spotted, Ruby's hair a sudden frizzy mess. That meant she was stressed out.

Smiling at her concern, Ruby looked her over. "You can't do anything in how you look, but I strongly recommend you to always be escorted to your vehicle at night. The pictures of you doing that show has spread around this campus like wildfire."

I just want to hold you and kiss you while we look up at the stars. Always a perfect evening with you. - A

Glancing down at that last text, Helga always soared emotionally.

Spotting the look of happiness on her face, Ruby smiled herself. "Must be Prince Charming."

"Yes. I can't wait to get home to him."

"So how has it been living with him? Does Hailie like it?" Ruby wondered.

Since mid July they moved into the Sunset Arms. Helga felt saddened by looking at her empty apartment before closing it, but felt happy the second their stuff was moved in. While they couldn't move most of their furniture in, Helga simply donated it feeling it was a much better thing to do. Arnold and her got into one fight over the stupidest thing that concerned the closet, but that was it for now.

"She loves it. She loves the people that live there already, and she is calling his parents her grandparents. It really wasn't that hard of an adjustment to deal with. The place already feels like home." As she spoke to her, Helga was texting him back while maintaining eye contact with Ruby.

You know that sounds like a perfect evening. I'll see you later. I love you. - H

I love you too. Prepare to be handled. ;) - A

I'm already prepared for you. - H

Placing her phone back in her locker, Helga started to walk past her. "I will be bringing Ol' Betsey and the Five Avengers out of retirement soon enough."

"I wish you can do that, but don't. I want you to remain around. I love having you, John, and Natalie around." Smiling at her favorite employee, Ruby watched her leave back into the fray. "The students get worse and worse each year." She mumbled out.

Phoebe felt more tired than she ever did in her entire life. Working in the emergency ward was just extremely hectic. She did handle it with a cool head and when she was a student working here she was bossed around ten times more. Now they went on an even pace with her. Phoebe was use to handling orders. Helga pretty much trained her in her early life. What with the note taking and Helga being able to talk really fast. She smiled at the thought that Helga helped her out for the real world compared to her teachers.

"Dr Heyerdahl?"

Phoebe turned to the one in charge of this area. "Yes, Dr Eggert?"

He smiled at her professional manner while scanning the very petite young woman in front of him. "I commend you on doing a good job. Keep it up. The patient that is in bed 12. The kid. You did an amazing job calming him down."

Please with herself even more, Phoebe nodded her head. "Why thank you very much, Dr Eggert. I will continue to keep up the good work."

"Hope so. You are the only one of the eager young doctors that I've had that I know will continue to be the same, but also improve." Nodding his head to her, he made his way towards down the hallway.

Her spine felt straighter. Her ego was boosted up happily. Reaching for the clipboard, Phoebe examined the patients tiny file before making her way to them. She made her correct choice for this field.

Gerald was reviewing what he had from the officers at the scene. While he did that he flicked his gaze towards the accident. His lips pursed knowing the details so far and was unhappy about one result.

"Alright, Gerald get ready for your first on air assignment." The Cameraman signaled him to stand at the ready. "You ready?"

Nodding his head, Gerald smiled into the lens. "Ready."

"Good. Because you are on in 3 - 2." He went silent as he went to one and then pointed at him.

"Thank you, Steve. We are here on the scene of a crash between two citizens at the intersection of 5th and Durango. By eye witnesses accounts, they said that driver in the blue Toyota was speeding through the light T boning the person driving in the white four door Chevy. Unfortunately the driver in the Chevy has died on the scene, while the one in the Toyota has been taken to, Hillwood Hospital for injuries he sustained. We don't know anymore on that driver, but as reported by the officers on location, the injuries are not life threatening." Gerald reported.

"Tell me, Gerald, do they believe that the driver was under the influence?" Steve questioned from the station.

Listening through his earpiece, Gerald answered. "At this time they cannot give me that information, but we'll make sure to follow this up for the folks in, Hillwood. We can safely inform you and the public that this is an active scene so they request the public to seek alternative routes to their destination."

"Well that is very helpful information, Gerald. Thank you so much for that report." Steve told him before the feed was cut off.

Putting the mic down, Gerald took a deep breath in and out. His first report officially finished with.

"Hey!"

Picking his eyes up to the veteran camera guy to indicate he heard him, Gerald wondered what he would have to say.

"You did a fine job kid. You conducted yourself with professionalism out there. Now you still need to follow up on things for a later newscast." He instructed.

"Thanks, Roger. I will do that. Also thanks for the tips." Gerald gave him a thumbs up.

Smirking at him, Roger echoed his thumbs up. "Any time."

Curly loved seeing her beam at him each time she spotted him. Watching her mark her book, Brenda got off the blanket to meet him half way with a little skip in her step. He loved the feeling of her arms wrapping around his neck to kiss him. Brenda had good and bad days like most. She handled her bad days far more better than the first time he met her. Something she attributed by dumping the toxic friends who would dare to leave their other friend alone in an environment such as that. An environment that was also famous for taking advantage of someone helpless.

"Hello, Handsome." Brenda greeted. "How was your day?"

"Fine. Yours?" Taking her hand he led her back to her blanket that she set up near the water.

Brenda wanted to head over to her place or his now. "Well it is a day where I would love to take your clothes off and bask in you." Kissing his neck, she nibbled lightly. "We only leave the bed to handle anything briefly personal, and come back in and have more fun."

Curly did attend college. A different one that trains you to be a Veterinarian. None of his friends were surprised and his own career choice. He also held a part time position was in a Vet hospital. "I'm not looking to have another girl pregnant until some time down the line."

Giggling at that, Brenda kissed him. "That's fine with me. I'm not ready yet." Kissing him once more, she just wanted him right now. "So can we head somewhere where we can have more privacy?"

"Mmmm hmmm." Taking her hand, Curly waited as she gathered her books to escort her out of the park.

Lorenzo wandered into the coffee shop with his head mostly buried in his phone. As usual he didn't pay attention to any of the women in there giving him immediate attention. Most sighing at the mere sight of him. Most others were simply ogling him openly with lust on their minds. The woman at the counter immediately set about making his order without him speaking a word. She knew his regular drink. Knew it by heart.

Lorenzo did care very much about the opposite sex. He just chose with whom he wanted to spend time with. Normally the women in the coffee shop were either well meaning people, gossips, wannabe writers, or mostly just people wishing to come in there to act like a place such as this was a pick up joint. He didn't want that. Didn't want to waste his time. Paying the person at the counter the exact change needed, he turned around to find himself actually looking up.

There was Rhonda sitting towards the back with a muffin and a tea in hand. He was actually slightly amused she chose to bring an antique looking tea cup in with her. One he recognized from the mansion. Walking forward he did know that she was pregnant. Kinda hard not to hide in their group of friends. He was also curious on what she would be like pregnant.

"Hola, Rhonda."

Picking her head up from a pad of paper she was scribbling on, Rhonda smiled up at him. "Hello, Lorenzo. You are looking well. Would you like to join me?"

Not wanting to deny that invitation he sat down. "Would be a pleasure. May I also say that you are looking well yourself."

Rhonda knew he was never one to just have small talk. Knew how he loved his precious time. "Thank you. Don't mind my antiquated system here, but I'm just trying to add rules when it comes to renting my downstairs apartment."

Examining her penmanship before he went to her, Lorenzo found himself for the first time actually taken by her. While he has never been used by her before, he certainly made it clear how he could never waste his valuable time with games. Useless games that dealt with playing with one's mind. "How are you loving your independence?"

"Well I'm not quite there. My parents still offer to help out, but while I accepted it in a couple of things, I feel I'm not quite there. I know I will be, but for now it is a journey to get to."

Leaning back in his seat, Lorenzo crossed his legs. "I hear you are working at the school. How is that going?"

That perked her up. "Oh I love it! I remember how I wanted to work only in fashion, but this is fine for now. I love getting really into it. I thought I would be bored, but so far I'm not."

"Would you like to have dinner with me? I know you and I haven't spent that much time together so I would love to hear all about your new adventure."

Rhonda felt shock go through her body. She knew this wasn't a date, but he was always considered a very valuable available person. She wasn't ready to date, and wanted to get to know her friend better. "I would love that. Also you will have to tell me all that you are doing."

Lorenzo sensed it wasn't her wanting gossip. It was her being genuine. "We can go now if you like. You are dressed perfectly and if you want, you can bounce off your ideas on me. It may help." He suggested.

Putting her stuff away and drinking her tea up, Rhonda went to rinse the cup before heading to his side. It will be nice to get to know, Lorenzo better.
