The New Teacher

2

     I woke up to the sound of my alarm, I glanced over at the clock on my night stand and it read 6:00.  I hopped out of bed quickly and ran to my closet to gather my clothes so I could go take a shower. I walked to the bathroom, turned on some music, and got in the shower.

     When I got out of the shower, I put on black ripped jeans, a baseball tea with the number 01 on it, and my red and black flannel. While straightening my hair, still listening to music, I use my hairbrush as a microphone.

     I went down stairs quickly to eat breakfast with my family. My mom made pancakes and bacon. I'm not really a breakfast person, I just eat so my mom doesn't feel bad. I put one pancake on my plate and put a lot of syrup on it, I also put a piece of bacon on my plate. I fixed a cup of coffee and sat down with my family.

        I finished eating and I got up and put my dishes in the sink. I was on my way back up the stairs when the door bell rang so I went to open the door. When I opened it to see the familiar face of Becky. She always comes over so I can drive her to school because she doesn't have her license, and her mom goes to work early. I let her in then ran upstairs, I motioned my hand so she would know to follow me.

     I grab my keys, my phone, and my bag. Then I open my bag to see if I have all of my things, and I don't do I remembered that I probably left my textbook in my locker. Becky walked down stairs and I follow. I only have 15 minutes to get to school, I only live 5 minutes away.

     "Since we have plenty of time to get to school, do you want to stop at the gas station and get a coffee?" Becky gave me a nod. "Ron? Is it okay if I stay in the car?" "I guess you can." On my way into the store I seen this really cute guy. I started to walk over to him, he was pumping gas.

His muscles are huge, but not like he's on steroids, like he takes good care of himself. I got to the gas pump and said "Hey, are you new to town?" "Kinda, I don't have much time to talk. I have to get to work. Maybe I could have your number? You know so we could finish our conversation." I grinned, "Sure" I quickly gave him my number. "Bye sir. Nice meeting you" He waved before getting in his car.

I got our coffees went to pay for them, then I realized I forgot my wallet. I just put the drinks on my parents tab. I walked back to the car, and got in. "Shit. Becky we're gonna be late." I was basically speeding to school. When I arrived I grabbed my things and ran into the office to check in. Becky checked in after me and we started comparing our schedules. "We both have math first!" Becky basically screamed. "People are saying we don't have Ms. Martin!" I said gladly.

     I looked in my locker and my textbooks weren't there either, so I just put my things that I didn't need in there. Still carrying my coffee, phone, and binder I made my way to math class. Once I walked in I seen a familiar face. It was the guy from the gas station. " I don't have my textbooks, and I'm sorry I'm late sir." He looked up from his computer, he looked shocked to see me. "What's your name?" He said. "Veronica Price, but what does that have to do with me being late and forgetting my book?" I asked. "Nothing, your one of my students so I thought I needed to know your name." He stood up, " Okay class, my name is Mr. Frost, I will be your math teacher all year."
