"Have you heard the news?" Isabel, one of my friends spoke out as we wandered through the long halls of the school.
"We have a new math teacher, i've heard he's a hottie." I looked up, surprised. " What happened to mister Caplan? "
Isabel shrugged " I believe he retired, but does it matter? " I shook my head. " No, but he was a great teacher. " Isabel stopped. " I believe that's him, over there, he doesn't look that old. " A small male came walking towards them, with in one of his arms a couple of books, and in his other hand, a cup of tea. " He looks familiar. " i mumbled. Then i finally vaguely recognized him. " Wait.... isn't he that ex football player from Japan? " i frowned. " What is he doing here? "
" He's an athlete? " My friend Isabel studied the man, he was just a bit taller than us, and he looked really young, like he was a college student himself.
" He looks a lot like Atsuto Uchida, but i might be wrong, cause he had such a good career. "
I looked next to me, but my friend Isabel was gone. " Isabel? " i looked around me, and then noticed her running up towards the man. " Hello, my name is Isabel. "
I shook my head, i couldn't believe my friend was so open, and she could just talk to any guy she liked. I wasn't like that at all. I was very shy, Isabel was the popular girl that could make friends easily, i would rather stand in the corner of a room, not getting noticed by anyone.
" I believe i'm your new math teacher, you can call me mister Uchida. " the man said. " Wait, don't say anything...... Isabel Marin right? "
Isabel nodded. " How do you know? " she asked him, surprised he knew her name. " I studied. " he said. " And you must be...... Amber Goldsworthy i believe? or was it Jessica Ames? "
I tried to put up a smile. " It's Amber. " i said. Uchida smiled. " Very good, i will see you two the 3rd hour. " he said. " It's nice to meet you two. " he then made his way to the stairs." Can you believe it? he's handsome and kind, so why did he become a teacher? most teachers here are jerks that like to dictate. "
" But we don't know what his classes are like, he might as well be the same. " I said. " Don't get your hopes up. " I knew right away Isabel would fall head over heels in love with him, cause that was her; she easily fell for the good looking guys.
" How do you know him? " Isabel asked, as we sat down somewhere at the cafetaria.
" It's crazy to say this but i first saw him playing the Fifa World Cup of 2010. " i said, as i sipped from my coffee.
" He was a really good defender. " i said. " I believe he played for Schalke in Germany for a couple of years, and now he's here? "
" How old would he be? "
" It's actually not that hard to find out, i think he should be around 30 now. " The school bell rang, it was time for our first class.
" Let's go, we have English class. " i said, and stood up, swinging my bag over my shoulder and holding my coffee in both of my hands.
" I seriously can't wait until 3rd period. " Isabel said. " Woah, someone is falling for the teacher? "
Isabel giggled. " He's handsome! at least i'll have something pleasant to look at during class so i won't get bored. Come on, admit it, he's fine. "
I shook my head and smiled. " Forget about it, he's the teacher, i would never fall for a teacher, that's just wrong. "
