A/N: ------->Ginnifer Goodwin as Aitza Kuman
Ch. 1 – Milli-Anna and Maddox Santos
I was deep into my lecture on Empress Dowager CiXi when the sound of gum popping reverberated around the room. I knew instantly who it was. Milli-Anna Santos. She has been a pain in my arse since the day she transferred to George W. Alton High school. She never paid attention, never turned in her homework or projects. All she did was play on her phone, read magazines, filled her nails, or never showed up. But all of her other teachers gave her passing grades, for whatever reason.
Stopping what I was doing, I looked back at her, and sure enough, she was nose deep in a Vogue magazine, not caring about her education. I walked back to where she was sitting, and cleared my throat. She didn't even look up, just kept flipping pages.
"Milli-Anna" I said calmly. '"Will you stay after class to speak with me for a minute? I have something to discuss with you about your grade." Turning from her I went back up to the front and instructed the class that the last 20minutes was to be spent on their presentation project.
As soon as the bell rung for the school day to end, all my beloved students filled out of the class, leaving Milli-Anna and me alone.
"A-aight Ms. Kuman, what's up?" Milli-Anna questioned from her desk, not even looking at me.
"You failed this semester."
Her head whipped up from the magazine and she stared at me in disbelief.
"WHAT??" She screeched. Standing up from her seat, she made her way over to my desk looking mad as hell. "Who do you think you are? You're just a stupid teacher! Change my grade now, bitch!"
"Now, listen here young lady, I will not tolerate that kind of language and disrespect from someone who is still wet behind the ears. I will not change your grade, not that I could now. Report cards were mailed Monday, and today is Friday. Your parents will be seeing your grades tonight." I spoke calmly. I will not let this spoiled child get me worked up. She was not going to walk all over me like she does my co-workers. I had principles and values to stand by, and I will stand by them.
With that I dismissed her. I could hear screaming through the hallways as she made her way to her locker.
~Later that night~
I was soaking in my large tub, one of the most attractive things about my little apartment, when my cell went off. My apartment was on the smaller side, being a one bed one bath. When you walked in you came directly into my living room, and to the side was my dining room and kitchen. Down the hall across the living room was my bedroom with an ensuite bath.
'Ring ding dong Ring ding dong Ring diggi ding diggi Ding ding ding'. My phone kept singing SHINee's song till I managed to get out and grab it off the counter. My bathroom was large, having a separate bathtub and shower. My closet was situated to the left of my shower, so I didn't have to go far to get my clothes.
When I looked at who was calling me, I was shocked to see that it was my boss, Principal Lukas Perika. Quickly answering, I about had my ear blown off by his yelling. "WHAT DID YOU DO AITZA?" Lukas bellowed as soon as I answered.
"What do you mean?"
"You failed Milli-Anna! Why did you do that?? Her family is furious that your class is the only one she has a failing grade in. Why would you do that?"
"I didn't fail her, Mr. Perika, she failed herself by not doing any of her work." I replied. "I don't give out A's to students just because they think they deserve it, or think they are entitled to it."
"Well, her brother is pissed, and he will be at the school on Monday to speak to you about Milli-Anna's grade. I suggest you spend this weekend praying to whatever deity you worship. You will need a miracle to stay a teacher."
"What-?" Before I could finish, the line went dead. I looked over to my cat, Sophie, in confusion.
~Monday~
As I pulled into the school parking lot, I noticed couple of black Cadillac's in the visitor spots. Parking my Baby Blue 1965 custom Convertible Ford Mustang in my spot, I checked my reflection. After placing few stray pieces of my short, pixie hair back in place, I got out of James. Yes, I call my car James, because James is my grandfather's name. He was the one who gave me this beauty after he died. It was one of the few things that I had that reminded me of him. This Mustang was custom built for my grandfather. It's got the papers and the plaque on the dashboard to prove it.
Taking a deep breathe, I started walking towards the building. I noticed that there were some men in black suits and sunglasses at the doors. Trying not to stare, I walked past them and into the school. As soon as I was in I felt relaxed. I loved school, loved it to death. Everything about learning made me excited. Except math, I hated math. It can go die in a small hole for all I care.
As I neared the teachers' lounge to clock in for the day, I noticed more men in suits at the main office. They looked my way and started whispering to each other. I turned to walk into the teachers' lounge and was stopped by Stella Moore and Vivian Ester, English teachers. These two think they are above everyone because they teach English/Language arts. They have no respect for the other subjects, all of their students hate them, along with most of the other teachers.
"Ooh, look who it is. What subject do you teach again? The study of pointlessness?" Vivian asked looking snobby. Stella stood next to her and laughed. Paying them no mind, I walked past them and to the time clock. Swiping my I.D. I checked my mailbox and retrieved my new issue of History Channel's magazine.
Making my way to classroom, I noticed that everyone was looking at me and then whispering to each other. I was about to scold some students for hanging all over each other in an inappropriate manner when I saw what everyone was whispering about.
At my classroom door, there was 4 men in black suits, all roughly 6' tall, give or take an inch. When I entered my room I was taken back. Sitting in my chair was one of the scariest, nerdiest, and most handsome men I have ever seen.
He had a dark tan complexion that contrasted perfectly against the white button up shirt was wearing. His eyes were dark brown with a slight Chinese look to them with two thick eyebrows above them. His nose was perfect, and it lead down to a perfect pair of full lips that were slightly pink. His hair was teased up in the front, and styled in a messy do. He had one piercing in his left ear. The man was tall, his two ultra-long legs that seemed to go on forever proved that. He was about 6'3", and compared to my 5'3", that is huge. From what I saw, he frequents a gym, built but still slim. Not overly muscular, which made him even more attractive.
Then I noticed I was staring, and he had a smirk on his face, knowing what I was doing.
Oh Goddess!

Thank you for making it through my first chapter. I was struggling because my space bar hates me.
Just wanted to let you know, I am a Weibo, so I will reference a lot of Kpop and anime things. If I reference any songs I'll post a link of the video at the bottom if you are curious.
