"Schar mitzvah mitzvah..." I turned off my alarm and said Modeh ani with Kavana. Then I jumped out of bed and threw on my black pencil skirt, black footless tights, short gray uggs and a sweater with stars on it. This was going to be the first day of my sophomore year at Bruriah. Wracked with nerves, I scooped up my Kipling backpack and ran to the bus.
       First period... History with Mr. Karten. Okay. Haven't heard that name before. Must be a new teacher. I sniggered under my breath. Karten. More like milk carton. I took my loose leaf out of my backpack and smoothed out it's cover. Then he walked in. And my life changed.
     A plaid shirt stretched across his broad chest. His hair was ginger and surrounding a ginormous smile was a scruffy beard. I wonder how it would feel against my face. WAIT. WHAT. NO. Eye on the prize, American history, what are we doing. No fantasizing about the new hot teacher! No calling the new teacher hot at all!!!!
      "Y/N, are you okay? You look distressed?" My best friend Ruchie asked me. "Yeah I'm fine, just tired. AM1; You know how it is." She gave me a sympathetic nod and then went back to drawing with her gel pens.
    A deep voice interrupted us. "Hello students, my name is Mr. Karten and I am going to be your teacher this year! How about we go around the room and say our names and a fun fact. Like I said, my name is Mr. Karten and I love Breaking Bad." He looked my way pointedly.
      Shoot. I was the first in the row. Okay. "Hi my name is Y/N, and a fun fact about me is um... I go to camp mesorah."
    "Cool beans!" He replied. As everyone took their turn my mind was elsewhere. Cool beans... he wasn't just hot, he was quirky too! Is Breaking Bad on Netflix? I should watch it so I can talk about it with him. I wish I knew more about him. Oh easy peasy! I'll stalk him on Instagram.
    Before I knew it, class was over and it was time for Navi 2. And that was the beginning of my first day of 10th grade.
