Never Thought I'd Love You This Much...

Chapter 2

Ezra Fitz POV

I'm running all around the school freaking out like usual. First day of the new school year. Can't believe I'm actually got a teaching job so quickly. I'm so nervous I didn't even sleep last night. Bad enough I got nervous for the first days of my high school years, now I have to teach a class!
In my head I went over and over if this is a good idea. I'm excited of course, but my nerves ruin the fun. Hopefully I'll have good students. Ugh it sounds weird to say that since just a few months ago I was a student.
  "Yeah that's him!" I hear someone whisper as I walk down the hall. I been hearing a lot of students saying that. It has been a while since there has been a new teacher at the school ever. Seattle high is a nice school and really common, so I guess that's why teachers never leave.
  "Mr. Fitz?" A female teacher comes up to me. I smile, "Yea- Yes, I'm new"
"That's right. Nice to meet you I'm Mrs. Loval" She smiles and stretches her hand out to shake hands. I look down at her hand, "Um..." I lift up the stacks of paper I have in my arms. "I would shake your hand but..."
She blushes "Oh... Right..." She giggles, "Sorry. Do you need help"
"No I got it. Thanks. Nice to meet you. " I smile again and go on my way.
As I step into my classroom I notice a girl in the front desk, near my desk with her head down. I stop so fast all my papers falls out of my hands. Way to go Ezra. Already messing up. As I kneel down I hear her voice. "Oh, let me help you!"
I notice her kneeling in front of me. I don't look up because I'm to nervous to make eye contact with her.
We picked up most of the paper except one. We both reach for it causing our hand to touch. As a natural instinct I look up and right away we catch each other's gaze.
I feel myself shaking. But her eyes are a light brown. Almost hazel, but not.
  "Hey Alex did he come by yet?" Another girl comes in.
We pull our hands away from each other's. This girl in front of me. Her name is Alex. So simple yet I love it.
"Um... Here are your papers" She says with a shaky voice.
I gives a small bashful smile, "Thanks," I grab the papers from her, "sorry I'm a bit nervous."
She smiles. "That's-" she gets cut off.
"Oh your the new teacher!"The other girl says "I'm Ashley by the way." She smiles. "I'm Alex, but I'm sure you got that since she screamed it out." She glares at her friend.
I smile. "Nice to meet you"
I walk to my desk and put my stuff down. I didn't expect to have people in the classroom already, but with her here I feel fine. I smile to myself. What am I doing?! I shake my head, then walk over to the white bored.
I hear them whispering and one this I catch is Alex telling Ashley to shut up.
I write, my name, Mr. Fitz in the middle of the bored.
"Mr. Fitz? Nice" Ashley says. I don't turn around to respond because I feel myself getting nervous again.
So I chuckle, "Thanks"
I say it pretty good with my voice shaking. I hope.
-----------------------
The bell rings, and students start piling in. I greet them with a smile.
With every student walking in I can't help, but look back at Alex. She just looks so sweet. She has short light brown hair that meets her shoulders, she has light blue heel convers, blue jeans and a black t shirt. Most of the girls I notice that walked in have nice blouses on or dresses, and some of them are doing their makeup.
Of what I can tell Alex isn't wearing makeup. I can't help but smile whenever I look at her. I hope she doesn't notice because that would be awkward.
The bell rings again for class to start.Once everyone is settled I speak up. "Hello everyone. My name is Mr. Fitz and I will be your English teacher for the year." I smile then Alex and I catch each other's eyes for a split second. She turns her head to look around the class, and look at my hands.
"So I'm going to tell you a little bit about me."I pull up a chair to the front of the classroom. "First off many of you are going to ask. I am 23 years old," everyone gasp. I chuckles, "I graduated college the year 2017 of May. And yes that is this year."
Everyone has surprised faces.
I then talked to them more, "So since I'm still trying to get used to this while teaching thing. I don't have any work for you guys," some guys in the back cheer, "so I'll tell you why I became a teacher?"
I go on and on probably repeating the same thing. I can't help but look over at Alex ever once in a while. She looks so interested in my story.
There's just something about her that's so different. I can't explain the way I feel about her... Like I'm comfortable around her.
---------------------
Class ends, and Alex is the last to leave. She comes up to me which makes me catch my breath for some reason. "I'm excited to be in this class and learn more." She smiles.
"You like English?" I say as I stand up from my chair.
"Yeah, I like to write mostly , and my English classes over the years haven't really taught much." She messes with her ring on her left hand. "And I can tell your really interested in English."
I chuckle, " Well I did graduate college for it and I am teaching it."
She giggles, "Right, well I'll see you tomorrow. Hopefully you won't drop anymore papers in the morning."
"Well if your there to help me- I mean.. Uh... I probably by after school have all my stuff situated."
Way to go. Just messing things up.
She smile and walks out the door.
I don't want her to leave. Why? It's not like anything can happen. I'm a teacher... Her teacher. I put my hands on my face and groan. Why do I have this feelings?!
