Illegal Moves

Chapter 2

So this is what a school looks like. I have only ever seen them on movies and TV shows. I guess that's what I get for being home schooled all my life. Now I think back to my conversation with Lexi on the phone two months ago. What my parents hadn't told me was that I was being sent to the city to live with my Aunt and Uncle and their three little kids. The freaking CITY!! How could they? Well apparently the ranch was was financially unstable and that if they lost the ranch that my parents would be coming to live with my cousins as well but they were going to try and fight for the ranch but in the meantime I had to stay out of the way.

So here I am starting my first day of high school as a senior. I have no idea what I'm in for. I walk up the five concrete steps to the front doors of the school and follow everyone in. As I am walking to the office to get my schedule. I notice everybody staring at me. Ok..... well this is awkward. "Take a picture it'll last longer." I snapped at them. Everyone turned their heads away pretending they weren't staring when I knew they were. As I walked by a group of boys I could Some whistled and then one smacked my butt. In one quick motion I turned around and punched him in the face. "Touch my butt ever again and I will make sure you ain't around to do it again." I said angrily and walked into the office.

My first two classes were a breeze. I am like a year ahead of everybody. I guess that's one good thing about homeschooling. I am heading to period three. Calculus. I go into class and sit down in the middle desk of the middle row of seats. It was the only seat left. Everybody was already seated talking with their groupies. The teacher was turned facing the board writing down three calculus problems. He turns around to explain to the class. Holy hell. Thats all I can say for him. This man, wait, boy, was the hottest guy I think I have ever seen. I mean was this guy even old enough to be a teacher? He looked like a high schooler. Oh my gosh those dark brown eyes though! He was gorgeous. Dark eyebrows. Dark hair. Huge muscular arms. I can't imagine what is probably under that shirt he's wearing.

"Today we are going to be working on differentiation under the integral sign." He says. Oh that deep sexy voice of his. I could not get over this man. His image looks like a teen but that voice of his makes him sound much older. And boy did I like it. I looked around and saw all the girls swooning over him. I really hoped my facial expression was better hidden than theirs. I quickly decided that I wasn't going to be one of those sluts who tries to get with their teacher. I avert my eyes and focus on my notes.

"Before we start class today, I just want to introduce myself. I am Aleks Konners but you will call me Mr.Conners. I," he is cut off by a kid with blond hair and blue eyes. I think his name was Gabe.

"Um are you even allowed to be a teacher? I mean look at you. You don't look any older than us." He says laughing. The boys around him laugh too. Well now I know who the arrogant and self centered ones are. They just want to make themselves look cool in front of the class.

"Well if you wouldn't have interrupted me," the rest of the class laughs at Gabe. " I would have explained. I am 22 and this is my second year of teaching actually. I taught at a school in New York last year because I was the top student in my college graduate class I got to graduate a year early and start my career right off the bat. "

Like teaching's much of a career.

"What was that?" Mr.Conners asks me with his eyebrows up. Oh did I say that out loud.

"Nothing Mr.C," I respond trying out a nick name.

"Um my name is Mr.Conners." He says sternly. Well this guy has no sense of humor.

"Whatever Mr.C," I say clicking my pen. I hear laughs coming from the class. Well at least some people get my humor. He stares at me for a moment like he's trying to figure me out. Those beautiful dark eyes linger on mine for one more second and then move back to the board.

"Ok I need three volunteers to do the problems on the board.." Aleks, ya there's no way I'm calling this sexy beast by his teacher name. More than half the class raises their hand. Ya not me. I don't want to draw attention to myself. He chooses two people and they go up and start the problem. He searches the room and then his eyes land on me. He looks at a piece of paper. "Iona why don't you go up and do the problem too." He was searching for my name on that paper. I just rolled my eyes and when to the board. About a minute later I put the dry erase marker done and go back to my seat. The two other people were still working on their problems and they had started before me. As I sat down everybody was starring at me with wide eyes. "I'm really getting tired of people starring at me," I say with a bored tone. Moments later the other two people were back in their seats. Whispers and amazed looks went all around the classroom.

"Okay okay everybody up here," Aleks says pointing at the board. " The first two problems are not quite correct but that's okay because Iona's," He says looking at me with a smile. Well that's creepy. "Is correct." Well obviously I was the smartest in this math class. 45 minutes later teh bell was ringing and I was leaving Aleks' class. On my way out the door, the same boy that smacked my butt before the day started comes up and squeezes it this time. At this time I just wasn't having it. I turned around and kneed him in the balls. He stumbled to the ground so I grabbed his shirt and pulled him up and punched him in the face and then slapped him as well. As I was pulling my square toed cowgirl boots up to kick him in the ribs, strong muscular arms wrapped around me and pulled me into the hallway. It was Mr.C. He turned me around in his arms. " I think you should go to the office and stay there." He says calmly but he had a very angry look on his perfect face.

"What?" I ask in bewilderment. "Did you just want me to stand around and let him assault me." Now I was angry.

"Of course not," he says. "but you didn't have to beat the crap out of him, you could have let the teachers handle it.

"Well I'm sorry, I don't know how I'm supposed to handle things like that at a school I've never been to school before and where I come from that's how we handle things." His hand were still gripping my arms and it was starting to hurt. His grip tightened. He says "Just go to the office and hope you don't get in a lot more trouble than you probably already are. He finally released me and I just rolled my eyes and rushed passed him brushing his shoulder. As I walk done the hall I say loudly " Sorry I'm just trying to protect myself."

"Iona thats not what...," I held my hand up behind me to cut him off and I disappeared into the office. Well I already have one teacher that hates me.
