We walk down the hallway at lunch while I tell Rachel about my first encounter alone with Mr.Strummer, a tall handsome man comes into sight; he's kind of casual wearing a white shirt with jeans and a black jacket.
"Oh my god that's him!" Rachel interrupts excitedly.
"Who?"
"Simo. I mean, our Art teacher."
He walks into a classroom, she's right he is hot.
"Simo? Is that his name?"
"No its what I secretly call him, short for Simonon."
"Right, well, why don't you go talk to him?"
"As if! He'd hate me, I barely talk during class."
"Why would he hate you?"
"Everyone does, why wouldn't he?"
I look at her confused then grab her arm to pull her into the classroom with me.

Once in we act natural as he looks up, "Good afternoon"
I smile at him, "Hi, I'm Candy your new student."
"Hi Candy, you know its lunch time right?"
My cheeks flush, "Uh yeah, we just didn't feel like being outside." I reply awkwardly.
He nods, "you don't mind us being here do you?" I ask.
"No of course not" he says, then proceeds "you won't say hi, Rachel?"
I look at her smiling suggestively, she's blushing, "Hello Mr.Simonon, how are you today?"
"I'm alright thanks" he replies with a sultry smile. I melt a little...but right, Mr.Strummer is my priority.

When class begins Mr.Simonon explains the lesson for today which is using acrylics on canvas. Afterwards each one gets an easel and canvas, Rachel and I begin painting. She decides to paint a guitar, I do flowers. After a while he comes around looking at what each one is working on, he stops beside me to my left, Rachel is to my right.

"That's really nice Candy, you paint?"
"Thanks, yeah its a hobby of mine."
"Keep it up, Rachel you're shaking" he then says when he notices the crooked line she was drawing. I assume its because of him that she shakes, he makes her nervous.
"Let me help you" he continues making his way to her, he takes her hand, his face over her shoulder telling her to breathe easy and relax, he leads the way.
All the time I couldn't stop smiling, it was so cute.
"Now you try."

He goes back to his desk, Rachel and I give each other an excited smile.
