Hollie•
I straighten out my skirt as I climb out my red Mini Cooper. I sighed. This was it. I am about to do my dream job. I took a deep breath and tried to calm my nerves. I looked down at my phone to see some of my family members and friends wishing my luck on my first day. I walked towards reception and some lady was sitting down. I spoke up. "Hi, my name is Hollie? I'm the new Year Four teacher?" I say. I stutter a little. The lady looks above her glasses and stares at me momentarily. She hums. "I see." She mumbles and returns to look at her computer. I haven't even been here ten minutes and they hate me. "Ah, you must be Miss Fray," A voice says behind me. I look at her staff badge which tells me not only is her name 'Mrs Holesten' but shes the deputy head. I shake her hand that's held out for me and nod. "She I am," I smile. She gestures to follow her and she guides me to a room full of, from what I can presume, teachers. She clears her throat getting their attention. "This is Miss Hollie Fray, she will be accompanying Mr Styles with Year Four." She says, they all nod. Who was Mr Styles? There was many men in here, which I wouldn't really picture. Snatching me out of my thoughts, someone starts to shake my hand. Is this Mr Styles? "Hi! Nice to meet you! I'm Niall, also known as Mr Horan" He says flashing me a toothy grin. "Hi!" I giggle laughing at how energetic he is and its only eight in the morning. He's soon pushed away by a much more handsome man. He has brown to black curly long hair and its gorgeous, our eyes meet and I take the time to look into his eyes. They are green, quite bright and very, very mysterious. Please be Mr Styles. "Sorry about him, I'm Mr Styles. Or just Harry" He speaks slow and raspy. I take in each and every word. Thank you for being Mr Styles! "It's okay, I'm Hollie," I smile. "I know, you've been quite the talk recently, especially around the male teachers. I think your dirty blonde hair and green eyes seem to interest my colleagues." He laughs. I smile. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you more nervous, you must be nervous. Do you drink coffee?" He asks, I nod. "Lets make you one and then I'll show you around." I nod and follow him over to a station where there's a kettle and some pots which I presume is, sugar, coffee and tea. He asks me how many sugars and I ask for two. He pulls out another mug and makes him self a coffee too. We walk down the hall saying goodbye to the rest of the staff in the staff room and we come to a stop. "These are our class rooms" He points to one and says its his. He guides me to the other door and opens it. "This is yours" He smiles, showing off them dimples. The walls are white and there isn't much colour. I look around and this isn't what I had expected. I though it would be bright and colourful. I look at Harry and I think he notices my uneasiness. "It's not very colourful, but I suppose you could decorate it with art work from you pupils. I did that with mine" He says. He walks over to a desk and places a laptop down, which I didn't even really notice he had in his hands, I was to busy admiring the new views. "You laptop here and your computer here. The computer projects on to the interactive white board." He says. I nod. Harry goes through a bunch of other bit I needed to know before pupils start to line up outside. "Have a good first day, I'll talk to you during the break and lunch?" He says, I nod starting to get excited. He kisses my cheek and walks off. Shocked, I stand there. It take me a second to compose my self and let the little kids walk in. They all take a seat where they want and the noise calms down. "Hey everyone! I'm Miss Fray. I'm your new teacher and I'm excited to teach you all! I know you all know each other already but, it would be nice if I could get to know you too. I have these flower pictures Mr Styles printed off for me and I have a cool idea" The kids all look at me glaring. This is pretty easy. "There are five petals on each flower so, I thought because you are on tables of five that, you could all go round and write one thing on one petal that you like about that person and in the middle is their name" I say. All the children looked pretty excited. I handed them out and gave them all some new felt tips and they got away.

   The bell for lunch goes and I couldn't love my students more. They are all so sweet and cute. I thought, knowing my luck, I would get put with some trappy little Year Fours. Which didn't happen, for that I was grateful. All of my class had gone to lunch and I was just clearing up some of the mess that we had made creating the display when there was knock at the door. Surely enough, Harry, wearing a white dress shirt, with the sleeves rolled up and some black dress pants and shoes, walked in. "Hey you, how was your day?" He asks leaning against the door smiling. His smile was contagious. "Really good thank you, hungry though." I laugh putting away the pens. "Lets go get lunch then" He says. He leads us to the dining hall and grabs us both a plate of food and sits us down at a table near the rest of the teachers, we were in the same room as the kids but they were over the other side. Harry was incredibly gorgeous. I take a sip of my tea which Harry had got for me and ate  some of my beef. "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" A little girl comes running over to Harry and he picks her up snuggling into her. "Hey beautiful," He smiles lazily. Shit, he has a kid? What the hell. The kid is in my bliming class too! Hazel? I think its Hazel. Oh my god. Hazel Styles. "Daddy do you have my fruit winder?" She asks him. Harry moves a little, being careful not to knock the gorgeous child out of his arms. He retrieves the fruit winder from his pocket and hands it too her. Thinking about it, she did look very much like him. Long brown hair and curly. But curly from the roots and not from the ends like Harry's. She has green eyes, much like Harry's, but Harry's were brighter. "Is Eloise picking me up from school today or can I come to your class room?" She asks him as she hands back the fruit winder as she couldn't open it. He opens it for her and replies to her question. "I planned for Eloise to pick you up, I have some marking to do, you can stay with me if you like though? I have my IPad fully charged for you." He says giving all of his attention on to her. "Yes please Daddy," she smiles. "Okay, go back to your friends and eat your packed lunch. I slaved over that for hours" He jokes touching his nose with hers. This was cute, but surely if there was a child, there was a mother and surely that meant Harry was taken? Well there's a high chance that he was taken. Fuck. There goes your chance. She kisses his lips and skips over to her table with her friends, some of them are from my class. "You, um, have a little girl?" I say shocked. He nods. "My beautiful little Hazel" He smiles proudly. "I'm a single Dad you see." He explains further. "Her mother and I had a little one night stand and, she got pregnant and she wanted nothing to do with her, so I brought her up by my self, there was no way I was giving her up for adoption." He smiles. "You've done a wonderful job Harry, she's so polite." I smile. He thanks me and continues to eat. "Can I take you out sometime?" He asks out the blue out of moments of silence. "I know, we literally just met and all but you intrigue me and your stunning, so will you go on a date with me?"
