Mr. Right

Hi my name is Nicole Michels and I am currently a senior in High school. Today's the first day and I can't wait to start senior year. Last year I mad myself a promise that this year would be different. I would be different. You know confident beautiful star of every team I was on. The complete opposite of last year. I mean don't get me wrong I'm really good at the sports I play but since my confidence level was so low I didn't stand out like I should have.

That's why as I walk into the doors on my first day I have a huge smile on my face because I know that today is the start of something new.

"Nicole!" I turn my head to see my best friend Taylor running towards me. My smile gets bigger as she runs into my arms.

"Hey!" I hug her back with equal enthusiasm and we link arms making our way to our lockers. Luckily since we're seniors we got to pick our lockers and we chose two right next to each other. As I reach in to grab my books I feel Taylor tug on my arms.

"There he is! There's the new history teacher!"

"Huh?" I turn around just to catch a glimpse of some guy turning the corner.

------------------------------------------------------

"I heard the new teacher is beyond gorgeous!" Taylor tells me as we walk into third period. Which just so happens to be history. Great now maybe I'll finally get to see this guy so I can know who she's talking about. The class is already pretty full so Taylor and I have to get the two seats right up front. Taylor and I race to the seat and she won being on the track team and all so I'm stuck right by his desk with Taylor behind me.

The bell rings and every body hurries to their seats just as a man walks in closing the door. I try to see his face but he's facing the board writing something. When he finally finishes he places the marker down and turns towards the class.

"Hello everyone my name is Mr. Sorice." Man Taylor wasn't kidding this guy is beyond gorgeous.

For a quick second his eyes land on me and I swear my heart was going to beat out of it's chest. Thank goodness he wasn't like Stefan Salvatore and could hear my heart beat. Oh who am I kidding he probably still could hear it.

I feel Taylor tap my shoulder bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?" I look around just to find everyone staring at me including Mr. Sorice.

Everyone breaks out in laughter and even Mr. Sorice lets out a chuckle. Oh gosh could this be any more embarrassing.

"I asked what was your name?" I hear that beautiful man in front of me say.

"Oh, its- uh"

"Nicole." I hear Taylor jump in and everyone breaks out into more laughter. I spoke to soon it got even more embarrassing. I just look down at the floor while everyone else states their name.

The rest of class was fairly boring as I was to embarrassed to look up at Mr. Sorice, so I just faced the window the whole time.

A tap on my shoulder once again breaks me out of my thoughts and I turn fully expecting it to be Taylor but nope it's...

Mr. Sorice.

"Class is over." He looks down at me almost smirking.

I look around to find the whole class empty. "Oh right. Sorry" Jeez thanks Taylor for helping a friend out. I gather my things and walk towards the door before my name is called forcing me to turn around.

"I just wanted to say sorry if I embarrassed you today. I didn't mean it." This man was so sweet.

"Oh it's ok. That's high school for you. I think I've got it down my now."

This time he lets out more than a chuckle and when it's not at my expense he had a really cute laugh. What am I thinking this is my teacher! I can't be thinking things like that!
