Chapter One: New Teacher

——————————————————————

       you wake up checking the time on your phone. you see that it's 4 in the morning. you scrunch up your eyebrows. 'it's too early for me to wake up.' usually you would wake up at 6 to start breakfast and get the kids up. thinking of the day ahead of you, a bad feeling forms in your gut. you sigh shaking it off. 'nothing's going to happen. you're going to drop the kids off, and go to work. that's it.' you reassure yourself getting out of your warm and cozy bed. you grab a long sleeve shirt, and jeans from your closet as you walk out of your bedroom. you go into the bathroom to take a nice warm shower.

you feel the warm water hit your body instantly relaxing you. you ponder over what you could do with the extra time you have. you decided to catch up on some reading. you step out of the shower grabbing a dark blue towel drying your body. you change into the clothes you chose leaving the bathroom.

walking into your living room, you go to the bookshelf in the corner of the room. you scan over the different titles. your e/c eyes stop at a certain worn down book. you trace your finger along the spine. a sad look forming in your eyes. "i miss you." you whisper to yourself removing your hand from the spine picking up the book next to it. you throw the book on the couch walking into the kitchen.

you walk straight to the coffee maker. popping in a capsule of your favorite flavor, you go to grab a mug. you grab a f/c one. a smile forming on your face as memories pop into your head. shaking the past memories away, you put the mug under the coffee marker starting it. it takes a few minutes for the water to warm up. once it does, you watch the coffee fall into the mug waiting patiently for it to get done.

the machine stops pouring the coffee. you grab your mug adding two cubes of sugar and some cream. grabbing a metal spoon, you stir the contents together. you set the spoon in the sink making a mental note to wash it later.

       you walk back into the living room sitting down on the couch getting comfortable. lightly blowing on your mug, you take a sip out of your coffee. the aroma of the coffee fills your sense as your tense body relaxes from the cozy aesthetic. you set the mug down next to you on the end table, when your done drinking it. you grab the book next to you opening it to the first page.

two hours goes by as you get lost in the book you chose. you make it to chapter 15, when your alarm goes off. getting startled by the sudden noise of it. you close the book setting it on the coffee table. 'i should get started on breakfast.' you get up from your sitting position walking to the kitchen. you grab your f/c apron tying it around your waist. you walk over to the refrigerator opening it. bending down scanning over the contents, you make a mental note to go grocery shopping soon. you grab the carton of eggs, cheese, milk, and some bacon. you decide to cook scramble eggs and bacon.

you're almost done, when you hear tiny footsteps walking to you. a small smile forms on your face as you turn around to be met with two tiny faces. "morning momma." your little boy, alex, greets.

"good morning, baby." you greet back walking over to them. "come and seat down. breakfast is almost ready." they both nod their heads going to the table sitting at it as you go back to cooking.

ten minutes pass, and you are now done with breakfast. "who's hungry?" they both perk up hearing your voice. you smile at them setting the plates down in front of them. sitting down by your little girl, alice, you fold your hands together. your children coping you. "thank you for the food." you all say in unison.
