I sauntered out of my apartment carrying the briefcase in my hand. Today's weather was kind of chilly so I dressed nice wearing a dark blue button up, slacks, two buttons undone, black suit jacket and my scarf. I got in a fight with Lisanna this morning regarding on what we should eat for breakfast. I wasn't in the mood to be called inconsiderate or an ass. I sighed to myself, and saw my student conversing with what looked like to be her mother perhaps? I decided to walk to the school not needing to be in a strained atmosphere. That woman can argue and I woke up in a good headspace knowing we give homework for our classes. "Gross. You again?" Lucy greeted with her usual cold shoulder. I grinned in great amusement she was a mystery.

"Good morning, Ms. Heartfilia! How's your day going?" I asked her making small talk while traveling to school together. She smiled but it was for a split second. I wanted to see more of her smile it was calming to me in a weird way. "I'm a little happy the Library opens up today. Maybe I'll grab a hard cover book and smack you upside the head with it whenever you try to flirt with me." She said making me roll my eyes. "Uh-huh. Looks like I pissed off two women so far and it's not even the afternoon." I mutter and she seemed alarmed.

"Did you get in an argument with your fiancée...?" She asks me concerned for me. This shocked me but I put on a fake chipper demeanor. "Goodbye Ms. Heartfilia! See you in class." I left the conversation not wanting her in my personal life. I want to keep this strictly professional. 'I can't get too attached it always ends badly. I have to maintain some space between us for the time being...' I ponder and made it to the entrance showing my identification.

English class

"Good morning, my bright pupils! It's the third day which means homework tonight! Please turn in your assignment, and no notes regarding that your pet ate your work automatic zero. If the excuse is not believable enough it will count as late and I'll give an extra day for you all to give it in." I took a sip of my orange juice and sat at my desk with my laptop. Thankfully there was no meetings on the agenda, since vice principal Scarlet was out sick. I mentally cheered I wouldn't be able to sit in that and not be bored out of my mind.

"Mr. Celestial this isn't finished. Come up and get your paper." I told him and he grumbled snatching it something about Mortal Kombat whatever that was after heading back to his seat. "Ms. Heartfilia you didn't bring your homework where is it?" I questioned staring at her with a raised brow. She flinched, turning from her talk with miss McGarden.

"Uhhh... I forgot to do it. Don't worry I'll make up for it. So anyway—" Lucy continues but I stopped her aggravated. "Ms. Heartfilia see me after class." I stated and begin the lesson plans for them. I grabbed the smart board markers tapping the diamond object in the corners and in the middle. Once the screen showed the picture I was good to go. "Turn off one light Meredy." I tell her and she squealed doing as I asked of her. It made me cringe instantly.

"Okay! What we'll be doing over the next few days is a poetry unit. The author we will be studying and writing about is Robert Frost a little background knowledge he was born in 1874 San Francisco California than he deceased in Boston Massachusetts in 1963 and how his poems embody persuasive pieces that engages the audience then eventually you will be able to incorporate that into your own writings." I informed them and one of the girls raises their hand. "Yes, Miss McGarden?" She was one of my stars she did her works consistently the teachers love her. "You can call me Levy sir. Can I pass out the poems?" "You may Levy. Which leads to the next step. In class you'll read over the poem but do not touch the highlighters! I want you to glance at the laminated copy and tell me what your thoughts are about it." I instructed them and Meredy raised her hand.
