Bagner

Chapter 1

Something old, Something New
(POV Gabe Wagner) :>

Narration pov Gabe:
I woke up with a jolt, my heart pounding. I- I was thinking of him again. I saw him yesterday in the hall on my way to lunch, and my heart was struck. My thoughts were clouded and hazy, but why? I had worked with him for years but I had never had a feeling like this before, well for a man at least.

Something was different, Something had to have changed. Right? I mean I had never... thought of someone like that before unless you call Kelci a relationship.

I was wondering if he felt the same way, even though I doubted he did. A 6th-grade math teacher and an 8th-grade science teacher. What would the kids think? What would Mr.Joiner think for god's sake!?

My thoughts racing a mile a minute, I got out of bed, rubbing my tired eyes. I did my morning routine that I always do, but I couldn't get him off my mind. Maybe the students, and the endless assignments, will distract me. I get dressed, grab my stuff, and head for the car. I knew that I was going to see him today, but I had to try and forget.

(POV SWAP Paul Bunge)

I slowly open my eyes to flashbacks of yesterday. He was looking at me. I could practically feel his brown eyes seeping into me. Years of crushing and people getting in my way and I know it may seem sad, but this was an improvement. HE LOOKED AT ME! I swear I could have seen him blush 7th-grade. There had to be something there. A small spark at least, Something that could be set into a flame bursting with heart and spirit.

Oh god, I'm sounding like an English teacher.

I washed my hair and put on my suit and tie, my biceps poking through the button-down shirt. Not as big as his... I was lost in thought again. Thinking of him, I walked out of the bathroom, grabbed my bag and I was out the door.

Before I knew it, I was at the school. But something seemed different today. or maybe it was that someone.
