After the bell

One

Summer break was over and it was school tomorrow I had spent most of the summer break with my mom visiting her brother in Colorado.

My family if I'm honest is pretty fucked up, my mom and dad spilt up while I was two years old as my dad had an affair which resulted in my dad getting the woman pregnant which gave me my half brother Mingus.

I'm like any normal seventeen year old I go to school hangout with friends go shopping at the mall and drool over boys that I fancy.

"So how was Colorado?" Emily asked over the phone as I walked down the road as I was heading to the local grill.

"It was Colorado Em. It was boring I was stuck with my mom and my uncle, his dippy wife and kids"

"So you looking forward to the new term?" Emily asked down the phone.

"Not really, I'm dreading seeing him" I replied thinking of Zach my ex, we had broken up just before summer break.

"It will be okay" Emily said to me down the phone "you two will sort it out"

"I doubt it" I sighed as I walk inside sitting down in the grill "look Em I gotta go" I told her.

"Sure, see ya tomorrow"

"Sure will" I sighed before hanging up.

I sit at the bar in the grill looking at the menu.
"Can I get you anything?" The guy behind the the bar asked with a smile looking at me.

"I'm honestly not sure" I sighed not looking up "I will just have a coffee" I added on.

"Make that two" a voice said from a few chairs up.

I look up seeing a guy sitting there leaning on the bar smiling at me I smile weakly at him before looking away.
"Woah everything okay?" The guy asked me.

"Yeah why wouldn't it be?" I responded looking at him.

"It's just, the look on your face said something else" he pointed out, I smile laughing slightly

"Oh I'm sorry it's just it's been a long day." I informed him.

"Done anything interesting?" He asked me.

"No just spent nearly three hours on a plane. Traveled back from Colorado" I explained as our coffees got put in front of us.

"What was you doing in Colorado?" The attractive guy asked me.

"Visiting family" I responded taking a sip of my coffee.

An hour past and me and this mysterious guy ended up sitting at a table talking about Colorado to our favourite music.

"So I haven't seen you around here?" I said changing the subject.

"No I just moved here a month ago" he replied looking at me his gorgeous brown eyes drew me in they was gorgeous.

"So do you like it?" I asked.

"Yeah" he nodded "I'm starting my job tomorrow"

"What jobs that then?" I questioned him.

"Teaching"

"Teaching? I think I'd like to do that" I smiled.

"What type?" He asked me I sit and think for a second.

"I'm not sure. I think it would have to be English I guess. I love to write"

"English? Really? That's what I teach" the guy smiles.

"Look not to be rude but we been talking for like over an hour and I don't even know your name?"

"Jon" he said outstretching his hand I take it with a smile.

"Peyton" I smiled taking my hand back from his.

"So Peyton, you like to write?" He asked.

"Yeah I do, I haven't for a while now"

"Well maybe if you start again, I could read some of your work?"

"Yeah maybe" I said looking down unsure.

"Only if you wanted. I wouldn't want to make you feel uncomfortable"

"No it's fine, you would really want to read some of my work?" I questioned him.

"Yeah why not. You seem really cool and a talented young woman. Why wouldn't I. I'd love to see more of you" Jon said looking at me a slight smirk appeared on his face.

I stare at Jon my eyes was fixed on him
"I'd like to see more of you too" I grinned.

Next I knew Jon and I was laying in the backseat of his car making out, and it felt incredible, there was something about the guy that just made me want him.

The next morning i wake up with the biggest smile on my face thinking of Jon, it was weird but the guy was amazing and incredibly sexy.

Someone knocks on the front door and I jog down stairs dumping my bag by the door I open it seeing my dad
"Hey" I said rushing giving him a hug it had been ages since I had seen him.

"Hey. I thought you would of stopped by last night?" he said stepping inside slightly.

"I'm sorry I bumped into a friend" I lied

"You wanna lift to school. Going that way?" My dad offered.

"Sure" I nodded calling out to my mom that I was leaving

I get to school going to my locker opening it "oh my god!" Lana yells running my way with Emily "have you seen the new English teacher!" Lana shirks with excitement.

"Oh hey Peyton how's things?" I said all sarcastically "not seen you in like forever"

"Sorry" she said pulling me into a hug "how was Colorado?"

I pull a face before turning to close my locker.

"Well then" she said leaning on the locker next to me "this English teacher his like heaven" she said staring into space "I'm never skipping it again and I'm definitely going to need extra help" she winked.

I roll my eyes looking at Emily before heading to our first lesson.

English finally come before lunch and we all walk in sitting down I see the teacher standing there back to us "God he has one hell of a hot back" Lana said into my ear before sitting down at her desk.

I watch the teacher write his name on the board it read 'mr Bernthal'

"So guys I'm Mr Bernthal and I'm your English teacher" he called out to the class.

Jon looks around my eyes widen seeing him standing his notices me and stares for a second wide eyed before looking down in complete shock.

Oh this is awkward I thought to myself.
