Zoe's POV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm singing 'Another love' by Tom Odell. It was the first day back at school, and a new year, I don't really enjoy school that much as I haven't got many friends, my dad is the mayor of the town and many people don't approve of some of the choices he has decided upon. I groaned as I got out of bed, I was used to late nights and lay in mornings, that's one thing I'm going to miss. I got out of bed and in the shower. As the hot water hit my back I was thinking about the day I had ahead of me, new students, new assignments and new teachers, most of last years teachers were guys, there wasn't many women teachers at our school, apart from the sports teacher, Mrs Bently, she was really nice, I was going to miss her if she didn't come back this year... I got out of the shower, dried myself and chose my clothes, I was wearing a white skirt, light pink top and some black heels, as we had no school uniform, thank god, I've never liked school uniforms.

I went out the house waving goodbye to my parents and shut the door. I waited at the bus stop whilst listening to 'It's my party' by Jessie J which was my favorite song. I don't think that I could survive without music, it was the best thing ever. The bus finally arrived and I got in sitting in the first seat that I saw, I heard some kids call out some insults, I had kind of gotten used to it by now, last year though it was really bad...

I got to school and saw that my first lesson was english, my favorite lesson. I walked to the new renovated english room, I had decided to get there early so I can get a good seat. I walked in and took a seat at the front, close to the board so that I could see better, I wanted to do well in english as it was a mane subject.
"Oh, hello there, I didn't-" the man that was in the closet stopped speaking as he saw my face clearly, I'm presuming he is the teacher, and damn, he was cute, he had dirty blonde hair that was pushed to the side, deep blue eyes anyone could get lost in, and he looked about 23 or 24 years old, what I didn't realize is that I had got lost in those blue eyes, I also had my mouth hanging open a little, he was also starring right into my eyes, just like I was, I soon broke eye contact with him and said.
"Um... Hi, I'm Zoe Evans"
"I'm Mr Geffroy, the new english teacher here, and um... Would you happen to know where the English study books are?" He said scratching his neck trying to find them.
"At the back of the class top left shelf sir" I replied shyly.
"Oh, thank you Zoe" he said. As he said my name it gave me a tingly feeling that made me shiver. As I got lost in my thoughts I soon heard a loud noise coming from where Mr Geffroy was, I turned around to see all the english study books on the floor. I got up and went over there to help pick them up, I heard him say "oh fuck!" to himself, and I couldn't help but giggle, he looked at me and jumped.
"Oh snap! You scared the shit out of me Zoe!" He said laughing a bit, and it got that shiver feeling again.
"Oh, sorry sir, I was going to help you pick the books up" I said giving him an apologetic smile. As I looked at the floor I saw that there was also pieces of glass from where the small vase had fallen.
"Oh, well thank you, that's very kind of you" he said as we both started to pick the books up.
"Excuse my languag-" I cut him off by cursing.

 "Fuck!" I said as I cut my finger on a piece of glass that was on the floor. I then realized what I said in front of him and covered my mouth.

"I'm not the only one who swears then" he said smirking at me.
"I... I'm... Sorry sir" I said, not realizing I was bleeding from where I was cut. 
"No worries Zo, let's get that sorted" he said taking my hand, and we both shivered as if an electricity bolt ran threw us, we both looked at each other and pretended it didn't happen.
"Is that my new nickname then?" I said referring to when he called me Zo.
"If you want it to be" Mr Geffroy replied with a chuckle, as he dabbed my finger on the tissue.
"Well, that means I need to give you one, how about... Mr G?" I said chuckling as he started to laugh himself.
"Yep, I love it" he said looking into my deep brown eyes with a kind smile.
"Why did you get here so early, there's another 15 minutes until class" he said raising an eyebrow.
 "I just thought it would be a good idea to get here early and get a good seat"

We were both looking into each other's eyes and he then did something completely unexpected, he leaned in and put his lips against mine.
