Chapter Two

She cleared her throat, looking at everyone as she then locked eyes with Livian, looking away as she made her way up the stage.

As the lady spoke, her thick Australian accent rang free. "I am Ms. Blanchett. I will be the teacher from here on out."

     Ms. Blanchett walked across the stage gracefully, looking over all of the class as they made our way to the auditorium seats. Slowly she cleared her throat and began to speak again. "From now on there will be no phones out during lessons unless I directly say it. You will need to start bringing at least a notebook and a pen, for I will plan little activities here and there"

     Livian couldn't help but watch her, the way she gracefully walked back and forth around the front of the stage. Mid-way through her sentence, she sat down at the edge of the stage, looking around at all of the class again.

"Any Questions? No? Good. Today, I will hand each of you a strip of paper, on it has a script for you to act out so i can see where you're at and get how to move forward."

    They all stood up, her standing once more to start handing out the slips of paper. She looked directly to Livian, handing her the slip of paper as a small smile appeared on her face some. She made her way through the small crowd, handing out the slips of paper until she had placed a slip in everyone's hand. She moved to the podium as she looked over the roll call list, as she ran her finger over the lists of names. There were only about 10 or so kids in the theater class, so she moved her finger multiple times around the small list, stopping at random ones. The kids were called, and each recited the lines, trying to put all their effort into it. Livian read over the slip, trying to memorize all the words as she read them over in her head. Suddenly, she felt a tap on the shoulder as she looked to one of the students who motioned to the front of the stage.
Livian made her way to the front, earning a look from the teacher as Livian tucked the slip away in her pocket.

"and... Go." Ms. Blanchett called out as she watched over Livian.

     Livian took a breath as she began reciting the words from memory, putting her heart into what she was speaking. She even moved with what she spoke, smiling as she finished as the class lightly clapped, Ms. Blanchett clapping softly with them. Livian made her way back to the seats as she had a small blush on her face, the few students that who were left reciting their lines as she watched them. She couldn't help but watch Ms. Blanchett, trapped in her mesmerizing beauty. She wondered the blonde's age. 30? 40? She knew she was older, but she was aged in the most perfect way. Like the crimson red vintage wines that were God awful expensive but became glorious with age.
She watched how her icy blue eyes intensely watched the students go up and preform, a smile forming some when they would stutter or mistakenly mispronounce a word. Livian hadn't realized she was staring so intensely at her teacher until icy orbs met her own hazel eyes, causing heat to rise in her cheeks. She held her gaze, getting lost into Ms. Blanchetts' eyes as a student passed in front of her, causing her to shake her head and look down in embarrassment. The bell rung, causing the red head to jump slightly. She quickly stood as she fumbled her bag, putting the straps on her shoulders as she started behind the crowd.

     "Miss. Meadows. A word please?" She froze as she heard a raspy voice speak up, turning as the teacher spoke.

     Livian looked to the blonde, standing in the middle of the alley, halfway between the exit and the stage. She made her way back to the front to where Ms. Blanchett stood. Livian could tell her face was burning red, holding her straps to her bookbag.
