✔ Teach me, Teacher! ✔

Chapter One  I walked quickily through the still crowded hallways, i was just trying to get to my locker as quickly as possible. I’d over slept this morning and missed my bus, which, obviously made me run late for the rest of the stuff I had to do today, including making sure I was on time to registration, But, By the time I arrived at school, I’d already missed it. The bell was going to ring any second, and my first lesson was all the way on the other side of the school. To make it all worse, It was History with Mr Taylor. I don't want to be late for his lesson, but because he was some hardass, but because he was the complete opposite. He was by far the best teacher in the school, His lessons are always so much fun, I didn’t want to miss it...Plus, My best friends Jenna and Peter were in that class and I really needed to talk to her. Pulling my locker door open, I grabbed my History text books and threw my bag inside. I could hear whispering from the people still in the hallway, Some were talking about what a ‘’freak’’ I was, others were talking about the new student that had apparently been seen wandering around.  I couldn’t help but laugh under my breath. Such simple things amuse simple minds.  ‘Excuse me?’ Someone tapped on my shoulder, making me jump and drop everything in my arms.  ‘Bloody hell!’ I growled, more to myself than any one else. I was so clumsy. I turned around and bent down to collect my things when someone else bent down with me, scooping up my History book before I could.  ‘Sorry, Didn’t mean to scare you. Here’. I looked up at the face the deep, attractive voice had come out of. I was more than taken aback when I was met with a pair of blood-red eyes. I couldn’t hide the confusion on my face. ‘Contact lenses’.  ‘Of course’. I couldn’t help but smile at my own stupidity. He passed me over my books. ‘Thanks, I was so bloody jumpy’.  ‘Sorry about that’. I shrugged.  ‘So, you’re that new student everyone’s talking about, I can certainly see why’. He was so attractive and definitely would get the tongues wagging, But, He seemed almost offended by my comment.  ‘Please don’t tell me you’re one of those jerks that are gonna make my life hell because I’m ‘’different’’?’ Wow, where did that attitude come from?!  ‘No, I just meant-’  ‘Not interested’. Because I could say anything else, he walked off, Leaving me stood, with my mouth hanging open in complete shock.  Ok, what the hell just happened?!  Due to my insanely weird meeting with the new kid in the hallway, I was more than a little late for class. Walking in, everyone looked up at me. I kept my head low and apologised to Mr Taylor before taking my usual seat next to Jenna and Peter. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jen leave over. 'Why are you so late?' She whispered. I looked up at her. 'I ran in to the new student'  'Yeah, what are they like?' I silently chuckled. 'The biggest asshole I have ever met in my life' That was all I said before turning my attention back to Mr Taylor, making notes on what he was saying.  I was so wrapped up in my work that I had completely tuned out everything and everyone around me, Including the bell signally the end of lesson. I hadn’t even realised everyone had started packing away until Pete nudged me. I looked around the room and quickily stood up, Grabbing my things. 'See you at lunch, yeah?' Jenna asked. I nodded. None of us had classes together now for the rest of the day. She hugged me and smiled before walking out, Peter just smiled and followed her.  The room was empty except for Mr Taylor who was writing something down on the board. I said my goodbyes and headed out, but he called me back.  ‘Julie, Can I talk to you for a moment please?’  ‘Yeah sure’ i approached his desk, ‘what’s up Mr T?’ He walked over to his desk and sat down before he started rummaging around in his draws for something. I was going to be late for my next lesson.  ‘We need to talk, Can you close the door?’  ‘Sure’. I did as he asked and went to sit down at one of the desks in the front row. ‘Um, I have Miss Richards next’. She was a b***h for people turning up late for her lessons. ‘I’ll write you a note. Listen, It seems that your grades are slipping slightly’.  ‘What?!’ I’d been working my ass off for weeks! How is that possible?! He raised his eyebrow at me and crossed his arms. ‘Sorry sir, I didn’t mean to snap but... I’m trying my best, I dont understand how there slipping’.  'You are failing. Badly too' I huffed and sat back. I didn’t know if I was more annoyed at him or myself. This was one of my best subjects. How the f**k could I be failing? 'Im afraid, if you don't work harder and buck your idea's up, I'll have no choice but to fail you and you’ll have to repeat’. 'Why, just because im failing History, Surely that isn’t grounds to hold me back?! He leaned back against his seat and sighed deeply. 'Julie, Is everything all right at home?' he asked. 'Why, what's that got to do with anything?' I started to feel defensive. 'Well, since its having an effect on your grades, Not just with this subject but English and Science and my guess others too, I would say It has a lot to do with it' I rolled my eyes and shook my head. 'If there is some-' 'There isn't!' I cut him off. 'Let me finish If there is anything going on at home or if anything is bothering you, anything at all, just come and find me. You know my doors always open' I nodded. 'Can I go now please sir?' I didn't want to make eye contact with him. 'For now' That’s all I needed to hear, I was up out of my seat and out the door with out another word. Great, today has completely sucked and its only the start of the second period.
