Mayas POV

Another year and another class, this is my third year at L.A Highschool, however I teach a college level class here

I wasn't for sure if English was for me but, I have gotten used to it, these kids  usually are the ones who dont want to make mistakes

I have a reputation around campus, not many of the other professors want anything to do with me, and the students I do have, know to follow my rules

There's not many but I don't give multiple chances, and disrespect In my class room is an immediate detention

Also, I don't accept late work,

I also don't tolerate tardiness, 1st time is a reprimand, anything after that is detention with me,

All of the students and professors think I actually enjoy giving detention when I have to stay after and spend my afternoon with a bunch of kids

It's all about discipline, most of these students have no idea what that is

I got to my class at 6:30 this morning, I had black slacks with a tucked in white t-shirt

My first class starts at 7:45,

Despite what people may think, I'm pretty chill on work the first week, it's mainly small exercises and readings

The first few students came in at 7:30, I always liked them

They are typically the quiet kids that get their work done on time and don't bother me

The rest of the kids came in before the bell, and the few that came in just as the bell was ringing

"From now on if you are not in a seat by the tone you're late" I say, not looking up from my computer on my desk

I sighed and looked to Everyone and grabbed my list of names

I read through everyone and had one student not show up,

Who doesn't come on the first day of school?

"Okay, if you haven't figured it out yet I'm your new English Professor, Ms.Bishop," I say and grab a stack of papers off of my desk

"Everyone read through this syllabus, I will go over key points afterwards" I say and pass out papers to the students and sit on my desk

I gave them 5 minutes and grabbed my own copy,

As I looked around the room I could already tell I would need to make some changes

I always got the jocks, a group of guys in the corner of the room messing around already this early in the morning

"Let's go over this quick," I announce and everyone looks to me and the door to my classroom opens

Allowing a tall brunette with olive skin and sunglasses covering her eyes to come in, her bag slung over her shoulder while wearing a thin top so anyone that even looked in her direction could tell she wasn't wearing a bra,

"You must be Deluca?" I ask, already annoyed with this one

"What's it to you?" She ask and sits at the empty desk in the back of the room

"The Syllabus!" I say loudly, getting everyone's attention again

"The rules of my classroom, luckily we have Miss Deluca here who wants to show off, you come in tardy more than once, detention. You disrespect me or any of your fellow classmates detention, most of you are adults act like it, you paid to be here, act like you want to be" I tell them all, looking around to see Carina with her head on her desk

I can already tell I'm going to have rough time with her

"Any questions?" I ask and one of the quiet girls who came in at first raises her hand

"Yes? Remind me of your name" I say

"Heather, Heather Brooks" she tells me and I nod

"What's your question Heather" I ask, getting off of my desk and walking around to sit in the chair

"Do you offer extra credit? Also I seen you noted no late papers accepted, is there like extenuating circumstances for that?" She ask And I smile to myself

"Extra credit is not planned, so I'm not giving you an answer right now" I explain to her

"Also, no late papers mean no late papers, if you have sports, extra curriculars, vacation or what not, work is still to be done" I say, I mean they sign up for that can handle

"But yes, if you tell me your grandma died or your aunts in the hospital come talk to me and we will work something out" I tell her and she smiles

"I'm not a cold hearted bitch" I say and the class laughs softly

"Anymore questions?" I ask and one of the guys speaks up

"If we get detention is that with you?" He ask and the rest of them laugh

"Yes, it's with me. You will sit in silence and not speak the entire time, you will not have your cell phone, you will however do work. If you don't do these things than you will be written up with the Dean. Is that clear?" I ask and he nods

Why are teenagers like this?

No one else had any questions so I turned to my lesson plan and grabbed a worksheet

"This needs to be completed now, it's for the school not me. After I have this in my hand you are dismissed" I tell them and give them the surveys the school sent out 10 minutes ago, I'll just keep what I had planned for tomorrow

I looked out and everyone was doing it quickly so they could get out of here, all but

"Deluca!" I shout and she picks her head up off the table

"Do the survey" I tell her

"Why?" She ask

"Because I asked you to" I say and she rolls her eyes but starts on the work

I rolled my eyes as well and sent a text to one of my best friends

Maya: listen, I already have one who is pushing all my buttons

Andy: girl I got 3, want to trade?

Maya: maybe, see you tonight?

Andy: definitely,

Just as I sent the last message students came up to me and gave me their papers

"Is there any homework Ms?" Lexie ask me, she came in with Heather today

"No, enjoy your first week" I say and she smiles and leaves

All the kids left, again, all except Deluca

I got up from my desk and walked over to where was smiling at her phone

"Look, this disrespect coming from you today will not be tolerated, change your attitude or don't come back to my classroom, understand?" I ask her sternly and she sighs and stands up

"Understand?" I demand and she nods

"Yea whatever, here" she tells me, making me take the paper and she walked out of the class

Part of me hopes she doesn't come back,

Till Next time ❤️

Whoa- I'm back... again

Worth it to continue?
