Nessa's P.O.V:
I don't like to be late. I'm never late. Why am I running late today? Oh, that's right! because Pinky my grey cat, the irony I know I just like the color pink and I like cats but can't really find a pink cat, so why not. So Pinky decides to slam my clock yesterday from my nightstand and smash it, and I don't like the sound of the alarm on my phone so I prefer the alarm of the clock. And damn me for this for now I am soooo late. It is not you typical morning today at school, because our principle, shall I not mention how stern he is with that scowl of his, so he wants us at 8:00 a.m. sharp for a meeting.
I put on my short yellow dress, with small red flowers all over the dress. Put my white shoes on and hurried out side to catch a cab.
8:12 ... 12 minutes shouldn't be a problem. Right?!
No ...
I walked through the parking lot just because the cab driver is your typical gentleman wasn't in the mood to drive through it so he made me walk the parking lot which is two minutes walking, but my short legs made it four minutes.
A car passed by me, almost smashing my side, and ran into a puddle of water and mud and dirt... dirt was splashed on my shoes ... my white shoes!!
" IDIOt.. BASTARD!!" I shout out at the driver before he got the chance to get far enough not to hear me. Boy I wish he was far enough not to hear my insult.
The car stopped right in the spot. The driver's door was opened and a very long leg with a black jeans and black shoes was out. The body that followed the leg is long too. Why do I always have to get in problem with long people?
A very very very handsome man came out with a really really really scary scowl on his face that has tattoos on the side of it along with the neck. I can't really see the rest of the tattoos for they disappeared under his black shirt.
" What did you say .. short head!" his deep low voice was even scarier than my shouting voice. I use that voice to scare my cat sometimes but it's not doing the deed anymore.
" You heard me!" I said back feeling fumed with his insult. Well it is not an insult to be short.. but when a complete stranger calls you that..it is very not warming.
He strode slowly towards me and came face to face with me, looking down at me without tilting his down, just his dark eyes, " I say you take that back short stuff."
" and if I don't?" putting my hands on my hips after adjusting the strap of my brown bag on my shoulder.
"You wouldn't want to know." he took one step closer making me take one back.
"Hey hey.. what do you think you're doing? I'm a teacher here so back off or I'll call security?
"Go ahead!" he put one hand in his pocket.
"Why don't you apologize for making my shoes dirty and holding me late? And I'll forget and forgive you?" I said not backing down or caring for being this late.. who am I?!!
"Why don't you go wash your dirty shoes and stick it up you ass and fuck off?"
He did not just say this!!!
And I did not just slam my hand hard down on his face in a really hurting slap. Well it hurt my hand so at least it should hurt him a bit. The sound of the slap was really loud in this empty lot. I winced at my hand then at the pinky print of my three fingers on his cheek.
" You are so gonna regret this!!!" he said in a deep low voice with my hand printed on the side of his face.
"I am sorry .. really it was a reflex .. I'm not a violent person, it was just the first time someone insults me and I could not just stay put to this.." I rambled with somewhat shaky voice and then sprinted the rest of the way into the schools huge entrance doors. I make my way to the doors of the meeting rooms then knocked.
"Come in." I entered smiling shyly with an apological look on my face.
" Ahh miss Clark, you are never late! What made you this late twenty five minutes is not a little late I shall add." the principle said through his speech that I interrupted.
"I am so sorry something came up! It was an emergency. I apologize. " I said taking a seat around the table.
" Never mind. It is you first time being late, ever, so I'm not gonna say a thing, but make sure it is the last time too". I nodded my head with a red face.
"So as I was saying we have a new IT teacher who will be responsible for the techno parts of this school and will be teaching technology classes. After Mr. Robin's death we find it hard to fill his place immediately so we waited a week to do so. I know it is not much but we can't leave such important place for the school empty. Mr. Black will be giving this role his best as he is the best in the major". We heard a knock then a come in from the principle.
The very same man that I just slapped a couple of minutes ago came through the doors. No evidence of a slap is there to be seen. Just his dark eyes. I can't help my shock and started squirming in my seat. His eyes met mine for a second and I saw his hand form a fist on his side while the other was in his pocket.
"Welcome Mr. Black, we are pleased to have you here between us. Please take a seat the meeting is almost done. So everyone please start you questions one by one according the curriculum and the yearly plan."
As they start questioning the principle this Mr. Black took the empty seat to my right. Even though there was an empty seat to the other side of the table. I placed my hands on my lap and diverted my attention to the teachers asking. I am not really concentrating with them. I am having an inner panic attack.
He took the pink pen placed in front of me which obviously is mine and started playing with it between his long fingers. I watched my favorite pen wanting it back.
"Can you please give it back?" I said with a low voice.
"You want it back?" he said after leaning in towards my ear so I can hear him. His breath fanned the side of my neck making goosebumbs form on my hands. I nodded my head slightly turning to look him in the eye. He was still close so as I turned towards him his face was really close his nose was about to touch mine..
snap
The sound of my pink pen snapping crushing, dying between his fingers made my heart stop. I looked slowly towards my pen feeling my face turn red.
I then look at him, he returned slowly and as if nothing happened he took my hand from under the table opening my fingers and then placing my now two pieces of pen in my palm then closing my palm.
" The meeting is over, thank you all for your time. Everyone please go off to start your classes and Mr. Black come along to show you your office." the principle snapped me out of my little grief. I gathered my files and papers from the table and hurried off to my class.
