The Perfect Riff And A Beautiful Pome

Chapter One: Secret Shakespeare

Alan's POV:

My students come running into my classroom like a heard of cows in a stampede when the bell rings. First ones to come to class where Aden Byer and Connor Congleton AKA the Dynamic Dyo that are straight A students in my class. "Good Morning Mr. Ashby." Connor chirped. "Good morning to you to Connor." I answer, taking a sip of my coffee. Aden sat down at their table, while Connor walks up to my desk. I was snapped out of my thoughts by the anyoing sound of a mechanical pencil tapping repeatedly on my desk. I take the pencil out of Connor's hands and place in my pencil cup filled with Connor's mechanical pencils from the beginning of the year. "You either want to know about what today's lesson is or you want to tell me about a song you wrote or that you found out what my other career is." I replied in a sarcastic tone to the fellow ginger in front of me. "It's about my songs, The book I use to write my songs whent missing last week. I found it but someone proof read it and corrected every mistake in thier. Also the person put in a band called Flowers For Eggernot and a band called Of Mice&Men." He breathed out. I know who took his book.
My best student in this class, Saylor Hecker.
She has her own band called Flowers For Eggernot. "Did you check them out?" I ask. "Yeah, Of Mice&Men are really cool band I think. But Flowers For Eggernot, they blew my mind, the lyrics are so philosophical and intense." He says, completely mind blown. "Ther fronted by a girl, right?" Connor asked. I nodded as I grabbed todays lesson plan. Then Saylor walked into the classroom and sat down at her desk that put by mine. "Look what the cat dragged in." Connor says taunting Saylor. She hides her bright beautiful blue eyes behind her razered ,black, hair. Hiding that she's crying. This happens every day. Connor goes to grab Saylor's arm. I get up and dragged her desk closer to mine before Connor could do something horrible to the poor girl. I picked up the tiny girl out of her desk and I knelt down to her, I lifted up her chin and brushed her hair out of her beautiful eyes. "Whats your favorite band?" I whispered softly. Now is the perfect time to tell the class that I'm also in a band. "Of Mice&Men, Alan Ashby is my favorite member of the band." She says, barely a wissper. I take off my blazer, showing my tattoos and got her to look at me so she can see my nose ring. "What if I told you that you met him and your talking to him?" I whispered in her ear. I get engulfed in a hug by her. I hug Saylor back, my head snaps up when I hear a loud thud. I look up to see that Aden has Connor pined against the wall with his fist raised. "Don't even try to lay a finger on her, you dumb fuck." Aden sneered in his face. I got up and pulled Aden away from Connor before Aden could fuck up Connor's face. "Connor, go to your seat." I say, trying my damm hardest not to throw the fucker out of my class. "Why do you stand up for that emo freak?" He shot back. "She's a fan of the band I'm in." I sneered. "What band is it." He taunts. "Of Mice&Men." I say as head back to my desk. "He's the Rythym Gutairist of the band." Saylor chrips.
"You know just feels bad for you right? And that he doesn't really care about you right?" Connor shot back. "And by the way, I bet you that the girl who sings for Flowers For Eggernot is hotter than you." He added. "Actually, that's my band and I took your song book, I sing for Flowers For Eggernot." Saylor says ,rolling her eyes. "Your still a freak." He shot back. "I rather be a freak than fake or even worse, nothing at all." Saylor sneered back.
"Hey, Connor, I looked up your Spotify and you just have mixes without vocals. Saylor's band has vocals." Aden spoke, breaking the silence.
A few minutes have passed after the the little scene Connor caused.
Now, all of my students have came to class.
"Good morning everyone." I said cheerfully to my yet still sleepy students. "Good morning Mr.Ashby." they all graoned back in response.  I grabbed my lesson plan that basically is like a love letter exchange, for Valentines Day of course. "Ready for the Sceret Shakespeare?" I asked the class. All of my students jaws dropped to the floor. "Shit, that's today?" I heard Kennedy wissper to Saylor. "Yeah, don't worry we don't have Connor or Aden, since Aden is rude to you and Connor is rude to me." Saylor say back quietly, but unfortunately I heard thier conversation. "Okay, since all of you handed your letters in yesterday, today is the day you get to read your Secret Shakespeare's letter." I anonced to the class as I handed out the letters to each student. I decided to give Connor's letter to Sophie and Adens letter to Katie, to avoid issues. I also made one, because writing poems I find really fun especially love poems. I also decided to hand Kennedy's letter to Roamin.
"Okay, when you get your letter I want all of you to wait until I tell you to read it, and remember, don't read it out loud." I say. I grabbed Saylor's letter and put it on my desk. I walk back to the front of the room. "Okay, you can read them now." I say as I go back to my desk to read Saylor's letter, my Sceret Shakespeare.
