Two years later

"Beau, are you ready yet? Class will be starting shortly!" I say irritated. I've been in a bad mood all morning and its only 8:00AM including feeling like something is going to happen today but I brush it off as it's a Monday morning.

"I'm coming!" She shouts, running down the stairs.

"You'd think after spending two years living together you'd be on time already. I say sarcastically folding my arms. She rolls her eyes at me, "Give me a break, you look just like mum when you do that. It's like I'm living back at home! That reminds me, mum wants to Skype with us at some point but America's time zone is something like 8 hours behind England so we can never make much time for them." She says putting her jacket on.

"Yeah true, we'll find time. We're late, let's go!" I said.

We part ways as we get to the college, Beau is an exchange student in her second year at college and she's studying a year above her age because of her intelligence and I'm currently studying as a teaching assistant getting experience under my belt so I can be a teacher myself someday.

I always get to class half an hour before it starts so I can relax and prepare myself for a day full of temper mental teenagers. I received a call this morning telling me we're getting another teaching assistant for a couple of weeks and they want me to welcome them with a warm smile. I know I was a nervous wreck when I moved here, so I happily agreed. I hear my phone buzz and I see it's a number I don't recognise, so I ignore it.

Just as I go to sit down a voice comes over the speakers. "Miss Woods report to the staff room please." I take it they want me to say hi before class starts, so I get up and make my way to the staffroom leaving my phone behind.

Shortly after I get to the staff room, they brief me just like every morning with the syllabus and the usual chit chat. It took me a while to get used to the way they use different meanings for everything, like our chips are crisps for them or sweets are called candy here, it's fascinating. I notice Mr Gibson, our head teacher coming over to me putting his phone away.

"Right Ava, he's on his way here now. Be kind and remember to smile okay?" He says jokingly. If only he was joking, I'm sure he dislikes me for some reason. I never know why. I hear the door open and hear a familiar chime jiggle which makes my body freeze. The chime that I could never forget even if I wanted too. It can't be? I turn round to see him standing in the door way with long hair tied back with the bobble I made, much taller by at least 3 feet making him now 6 foot and a very muscular body which suits him more than it should. My mouth goes dry.

"Nick?" I gasp. What's going on?

End.
