Katie's POV-
Here I was, three years later. Who'd of thought i'd be doing this...I never thought i'd get this far with him. Not with how things started...I thought it would be some sort of fling and it would be over within weeks. I never thought I'd be marrying him. I bet you're wondering who he is aye...by he I mean, Nathan Sykes or to me...Mr Sykes. Yes, he was my teacher at school, he was my History teacher. I can remember the day when I first laid eyes on him....
*Three years ago*
So, the last school year had finally started, i've been wanting this day to happen for a very long time. I've not really enjoyed school...i'm not exactly popular. Yeah, I have my small group of friends but, i'm not in the 'it' crowd. I couldn't wait to leave school and go on to something new maybe university or maybe a job but something much better than school. My mondays consists of English, double ART and then double history. I sometimes regret picking history as a A level subject, it is so difficult and it doesn't help that I cannot stand the teacher, Mrs Wilson. She's always had it in for me, even though I get my work in everytime, to a reasonable standard...but it's never, ever good enough for her. She always puts me in a bad mood at the end of my day, which I end up taking it out on my Mum and Dad. I was sat in my car in the school car park wanting to not go into school, and just bunk off for the day. I had been off for our summer holidays...which was over way too soon. I wasn't ready for another year of school...it's a good job it's the last. I rested my head on the head rest and sighed, I just wanted today to be over and done with.
At least I have ART. I loved ART it was probably my strongest subject, not to sound to cocky, I think i'm pretty good at it. My work always gets chosen for the school ART shows. I find it so relaxing and calming. It calms me down ready for history. I suddenly heard someone tapping on my car window..which scared the life out of me. Once my heart stopped racing, I looked to see who was tapping at the window. It was Sara, my best friend. We've known each other since play school, she's never left my side, even through the tough times. I know this sounds silly and cheesy but...I don't think I would be who I am today if I didn't have her in my life. I opened the car door once I had reached over to get my bag from the passenger seat. I got out the car and hugged Sara. We soon made it inside to the canteen to sit and wait until it was time for English, our first lesson.
'So how was your date with Tom?' I smiled. You see Sara has had a crush with a guy from the year above...but he has been kept back a year so will be in our year again. He's called Tom Parker. You should see how Sara is when he walks passed us in the school corridor. She never thought that she would end up getting the chance of going on a date with him, as the majority of the girls in a year..even school fancy the pants off of him. Yeah, he is attractive but i'm not as obsessed as Sara. We were sat in the park when it was really sunny in the holidays and he happened to be there. I kind of thought Sara already knew he'd be there and she wanted to perv at him...some more. Probably through facebook. He was playing football with his friends, and I think he could tell that Sara was staring at him. Which made him come over to us....which made Sara panic, which was pretty funny to watch. He came and sat with us for a bit, he actually seems like a lovely guy once you speak to him. He eventually asked Sara out for a date...which she obviously agreed to. As soon as he walked away, she done a little happy dance...it was nice to see her that happy. And she finally got what she wanted. You can probably guess what she spoke about on the way home.
'It couldn't of been better,' she grinned.
'What did you do?' I asked.
'Well...I just thought we'd go to the cinema or something but he came to pick me up at 7:30. He was dressed really smart, like in a smart shirt and jeans...he looked hot. Anyway..he ended up taking me to dinner to the new restaurant in town,' she replied cheerfully.
'So, when's date number two?' I laughed.
'I'm not sure, he gave me his number last night. He's been texting me since the date. I think I might see him today as well,' she smiled.
'I'm so happy for you Sara,' I smiled back. Before we knew it, it was time for English. I didn't mind English, we had the best teacher ever, Mr Kaneswaran. He was so friendly and really easy going. I think he could be my favourite teacher, he always helps me out when I really need it, and he's Irish. I sat next to Sara and got my laptop out, as we were in sixth form, we done our work on our laptops. Mr Kaneswaran came walking in with a big smile on his face, he had one of those smiles that could light the room up, even when you were in a bad mood.
'Morning class...it's good to see you all again. Let's get cracking with this terms work. We'll be studying the book, 'Of Mice of Men,' he said as he placed his brief case down on to the desk.
'Katie, could you hand out the books please?' he asked me with a smile on his face.
'Yes Sir,' I replied, before getting the books from the back of the classroom.
We soon began reading the book, we were getting our first bit of coursework next week, so we had to read up to a certain part. I know this sounds really geeky but I love reading. I love how you can picture the characters and even sometimes...I end up thinking that they are real. I know it's sad but it's just me. I ended up getting really into the book. And just as I was getting to the interesting part, it was the end of the lesson. And we were soon heading to our next lesson, Sara had Drama so I was on my own in ART...which I kind of liked. I got time to myself and some peace and quiet. I was stood outside of the room, waiting for Miss Chaplin to arrive. I was just stood 'people watching' as people walked passed me. Most of the people I recognised as I'd seen them around, plenty of times. But this guy walked passed me, I'd never seen him around before. He didn't look much older than me and i'm almost 18. He was around about average height. He was wearing a suit...he looked really smart. He had brown hair. He was quite good looking...I wasn't sure how long I had been staring, but he looked at me. Which made it slightly awkward. He just smiled at me...I didn't know what to do, so I just smiled back. And thankfully, Miss Chaplin arrived and let us into the class.
Throughout the lesson, I kept thinking about that guy. Why hadn't I seen him around before? Why was I thinking about him?. All these questions were flying through my head. I soon snapped out of it and carried on concentrating on my artwork. It wasn't long before, I was on my lunch break with Sara, and our other friend, Natasha. I had told them about my awkward situation earlier. They just laughed,
'Does Katie have a crush?' Sara laughed. I was shocked,
'Of course not biatch,' I replied. I then saw Tom approaching the table.
'Your loverboy's making his way over here,' I winked. She looked at me and started to make sure her hair was perfect.
'Alright ladies,' Tom greeted us as ge approached the table. Sara just blushed. I looked at Natasha and gave her the hint 'lets leave them to it,' she got the hint and we made our way out of the canteen. From the corner of my eye...I could feel someone looking at me. I just looked around and saw that guy again...he had looked away as soon as I looked at him. I just walked out of the canteen with Natasha. She had history with me next as well, so we decided to go the classroom to wait.
One o'clock finally came and we went into the classroom and chatted amongst ourselves. Soon everyone was in the class, we were just waiting for moany Wilson to arrive, I was ready to go into my bad mood, just like I usually did. The door opened and I took a deep breath before realising that Mrs Wilson wasn't stood there...instead it was him.
'Afternoon class, I'm Mr Sykes...your new teacher,' he introduced himself.
He's our teacher?! I was staring at our teacher...how embarrassing!
End of Chapter 1!
