I fall out of my bed and bang into the ground of my bedroom, the pain hits my head first then my back. I crawl back towards my bed and throw the covers over me, I stay there for one minute then my alarm goes off.

"Alina, hunny time for school, Mal will be here soon let's not keep him waiting" she says, banging on my door.

I groan loudly and slowly slide out of my covers and onto the floor. My head still hurts since the fall out of bed.

I walk to my wardrobe and pick out my clothes, I pick my dark blue denim jeans and my white tank top and my blue cardigan.

"I don't look half bad" I say to myself. I grab my phone and bag and leave the room and go down to my parents who are drinking their coffee while watching the 8am news.

"Oh hunny you ready, I've got something for you" says my mom. She sits her coffee on the table in front of her and she runs to the kitchen, I follow her slowly, Monday mornings are the worst.

"Here baby" she hands me a wrapped box that is tied with a bow "happy birthday" she says.

I untie the bow slowly, what's in this, could it be car keys, OMG I HOPE ITS CAR KEYS! I open the box and see a necklace with white stones in them.

"Mom......what is this?" I lift it out of the box and twirl it in my hands "it's beautiful but what it is?" I say looking up at her.

"Hunny it's a family heirloom, your great, great, great grandmother owned it and it's been passed down throughout the years. It's finally made it's way to you" she says.

She grabs it from my hands "turn around," I turn around and lift my hair to the side to make it easier for her to out around my neck, "you go now, don't want you being late" she says.

I hug my mom "thank you mom." I grab my bag and run out the door kissing my dad on the cheek on the way past "love you daddy" I say.
"Love you Alina" he shouts as I run towards Mal who is waiting for me.

"Hey birthday girl, how are you? Or most importantly what did your parent get you and did you get 'the talk' yet." I burst into laughter whilst jumping into his car. "No seriously tell me" he says

"I got a family heirloom thing my mom nearly cried giving it to me" I look at my neck where the bracelet hangs "it's beautiful" she says.

"cool" he starts the car and drives "ok but seriously, did you get the talk?" He says laughing.

"No of course not, stop talking about that" I grab his phone and look at the time '8:34' "First day of school huh" I Say looking at him.

"First day of school" he repeats.

We arrive Outside keramzin high school, Mal parks in his usual spot and we jump out.

"Well I'll see you later, i've got history with the news teacher, I heard he's a dick" I say. I start to walk away from him.

"Don't be so sure about what other people say. Give the man a chance!" He shouts. I'm nearly in the school when I look back and Mal is still staring at me.

"weirdo!" I shout back at him, I give the middle finger as I walk away.

I walk to my locker quickly. I can't be late, I can't be late on the first day. Someone pushes me into the locker when I turn around and see Inej and Nina standing laughing at me. "Very funny guys, ha ha ha" I say.

Come in Alina have some fun, oh and guess what we seen the news history teacher he's so hot, and we're in the same class" says Nina. She makes a weird noise like a stupid teenage girl does when she has a crush.

"Yayyy I'm so excited" I say, sarcastically. Nina grabs my arm and pulls me down the corridor.

"Inej we will see you at lunch, Pity she's a year younger than us" she pushes me faster "oh Alina wait till you see him, he's a DILF" she says enthusiastically.

We walk into the history class and everyone is already there, except the teacher. There are two seats left I look at both one is next to Mikhael and Dubrov, there two of male closest friends and the other is next to, oh no please no. Zoya Nazyalensky the biggest bitch in the school.

Nina and I look at each other then she runs to the seat next to Mikhael and Dubrov faster than I can, I walk towards the seat next to Zoya and call Nina a "bitch" on the way past.

"Seats taken, sorry not sorry" she says. I push her feet off the chair and sit down "you bitch, don't touch me again" I feet an instant shoot if pain and her feet collide with my rib cage then I'm laying in the floor whilst the whole class laughs at me.

I jump to my feet and nearly punch her when I feel a hand grab my elbow stopping me from doing it. I turn to see a man with a short, black beard with grey eyes. "Sit down" he says sternly. I do what he says.

"Now class we are gonna start off today quickly and fast paced so that you all pass your tests" he says. I look over at Nina who is pretending to faint in her seat and it seems I'm not the only one who notices because Mikhael and Dubrov are are laughing at her.

"Now who can tell me about l..." the door swings open and in walks our principle, Baghra Morozova she's a good principal but she can be very strict when she needs to be.

"Hello children. I hope your all doing your best to make your new teacher feel welcome" she looks around the room at all of us "hmm. Good luck sir" she says then she leaves the room.

TIME JUMP

at the end of the lesson everyone gets off their seats and I'm About to leave when the teacher calls my name "Alina, could you stay back please" he says. Nina stares at me for a second then mouths word which I can tell she is saying "lucky"

I walk to his table slowly and he stands up "are you okay Alina?, I seen what she did" he says, I feel the relief course through my body straight away.

"Uhhh yeah I'm fine" i say "it's just typically Zoya she's always like that, sir" I say. He looks me up and down, examining me.

"I'm not used to people calling me sir yet, but I can't lie, I kind of like it" so he's new to teaching, that's a first. "If your okay you can leave" he says.

I turn to walk out the door "Alina" I turn back around "happy birthday" he says.

"Wait, sir how did you know that?" I say. How could he know that, I've never met him before, this is weird"

"I read over all my students files, I like to know who I'm teaching before I get up and talk in front of them" he says. He sits back in his seat and relaxes.

"Oh, but don't you think that's an advantage compared to what we have?" He looks at me weirdly, I can tell he doesn't understand what I mean "you get to know us before you meet us, but we get no clue as to who you are, to me that gives you the advantage" I say.

"Goodbye Alina starkov" he says, smiling at me with his beautiful grey eyes. I walk out the door and straight to math where Mal is.
