Professor Hiddleston

New Arrivals

Its the first day of the new semester. Tom has noticed a massive influx of new students. A little intimidating? Yes. He can handle his self though. The principle has emailed him informing him they have hired an assistant teacher to aide him in class. He reluctantly agrees with it and realizes maybe this would be helpful. Its 8 am and hes preparing the chalk board for his first class at 9 am. Too focused on the lesson he almost doesnt hear the knock at his door. He gets slightly startled when it opens. In walks Principle Chance.

"Tom?" He says peeking around the slightly open door. Tom nods his head for him to come in. Out of the corner of his eye he sees a person behind him but is trying to finish up.

"This is Miss Huddlestone." He says as she comes from behind him. Tom puts down the chalk and dusts off his hands. He looks over. He sees a woman with shoulder length raven colored curly hair. Her eyes bright blue. She captures his attention for a moment and then he looks to Chance.

"Hello, Miss Huddlestone." He says reaching his hand out for a hand shake. She reaches out and shakes his hand. Miss Huddlestone attention also gets captivated by Tom. Tall, slender man with brown curly hair and blue eyes. Wearing a dark brown suit. No wonder he has an influx of students. Hes stunning. Tom releases her hand and goes back to his desk. Taking off his suit jacket.

"Alright, well Miss Huddlestone good luck." Chance says as he chuckles walking out. Huddlestone sighs and sits her bag and purse down at the other end of his desk.

"Is there anything you need me to do?" She asks.

"We have 67 students in our first class. Pass out the panthlets i have on my desk please." He asks as he sits at his desk checking his emails and checking his lesson for the day.

"Whats your first name?" He asks.

"Casandra....Cassy for short..." she says walking over. She sees the panthlets sitting on the other side of Tom. She walks to the other side and grabs them. She begins passing them out. As she does, Tom looks up from his computer. Looking at her. Shes wearing a pair of caki pants and a dark green long sleeve button up shirt. Her physique capturing his attention. He averts his eyes. Focusing more on the lesson at hand. Cassy can feel his eyes on her. She ignores it though. Hes probably just trying to figure her out. They sit in almost silence the whole time. Cassy feeling as if he really doesnt want her there. Which if i had been a teacher and after ten years if they sprung a teachers assistant on me i would be a little upset too. Cassy sits down at the end of his desk and takes out her favorite book. Its Edgar Allan Poe's complete works. She opens it to a bookmarked page and begins to settle back and read. Tom glances over and sees the front of the book.

"Funny enough we are discussing gothic literature today." Tom says to her. She looks up.

"Oh really?" She asks.

"Mhmm...you can help me because its not my particular area of expertise."he says to her.

"Let me guess....Shakespeare is?" She asks sitting up.

"Yes." He says chuckling.

"Shakespeare is really good." She says as she plops down a book of thr complete works of Shakespeare from her bag.

"Oh wow...."he says as he leans back and reaches over and grabs the book. It looks pretty warn down. Shes probably read it numerous times.

"You like to read?" He asks.

"I spend most of mt time reading." She tells him.

"Nothing wrong with that."Tom says as he slides the book back over to her. Tom stands up and walks over to her.
