Vivienne's Not So Much of a Backstory

Chapter 9

  Its been a little more than a month since Vivienne's arrival to the world. Since then, Vivienne has made friends, learned a thing or two, even a little bit about who she was. But things weren't going so well at home. Since Cherry and Eliot were already poor, having a 3rd guest wasn't going too well. Vivienne slept on the couch and ate the last little bit of food left after breakfast and dinner. Not wanting to be a bother to the kind sibling any longer, Vivienne searched for another place to live. So far only Delaila was the only one who would "save her from the poor ugly siblings". After a few weeks of searching, Vivienne gave up. However, Whatever angle was looking down at her, wouldn't let her search go a failure. The ELA teacher fell ill and could no longer teach. So one Tuesday, the students entered the classroom met a new teacher. He was a tall slim man with VERY light blue hair and eyes. "WELCOME STUDENT! My names Mr. Thiago. You may call me Mr. T or just Teach. I'm excited to start teaching everyone today! First a little bit about me: I love being around teens like you, I love any story so any book recommendations I would love to hear them. I come from the country part of town and it's my first time being in a city like this one! Now everyone come up to the whiteboard and write something about your self." The teacher said as he handed out markers to everyone. Vivienne knew Cherry couldn't write and spell well so she went up to write something about both her and Cherry. Vivienne wrote for Cherry 'I like comic books' but had to think about what she would write for herself. Most kids wrote their favorite color or something they like to do. What Vivienne wrote shocked Mr. T. 'I don't know much about myself' "Who wrote this?" Mr. T asked. Vivienne raised her hand. she was really hoping she won't have to explain what she meant. "Well, this ties in perfectly with what we're learning! We are going to start with our character development. So let's jump into our first activity for this unit. We are going to make a character the represents our self. You don't need to be an artist to do this. If you can draw then just write out a description of your character." Mr. T instructed. Students started getting out their paper and pencils immediately. Cherry gave Vivienne a paper from her sketchbook and she got to work. Vivienne drew her character as Clarence had described her in that vision he had. She drew her character in a white dress all greek style, pulled back hair in two pigtails, and with a purple and grey leaf crown so it doesn't look too much like herself. Thats when the bell ringed and everyone packed up and left. "Have a good day and start thinking of a good story for your character." Mr. T said as everyone left.

Cherry and Vivienne caught Clarence and James in the hallway and told them about the new teacher. James just nodded since he already had Ela in the morning (forgot to say this is after lunch) and Clarance asked questions since ELA was the class he was heading to. After school, the gang got together to talk about their day. The main thing was the new English teacher. That's when Vivienne caught sight of him walking alone. She excused herself from the group and went to talk to him.
"Why hello there! Your that one girl who wrote the strange fact on the board. How are you?" Mr. T asked "Yep thats me!"
"You mind telling me what you meant by that message? I know you didn't write it just for the lesson." Vivienne looked down not wanting anyone else to know. But with all the stress of finding a new place to live and trying to find some way to help the sibling Vi caved and explained everything to the teacher who listened intently. He thought for a moment and looked back at his student with a smile. "Well, if you're looking for a place to stay then I can help you. I never liked living alone, and in a place I'm not familiar with, I could use some help with getting used to the city. Maybe we can help each other out?" Offered Mr. T with a smile. Vivienne's felt her heart leap inside her chest. She nodded in excitement. "However Vivienne, You need to help me unpack first!"

The 2 continued their walk till they reached a house with a moving truck in front of it. "So this is your place huh?" Vivienne asked while looking up at the house. "No this isn't mine." Just then a man with light almost pastel green hair and eyes walks out the house. "Oh hey! You neighbors?" the mint green man asked. Vivienne looked to Mr. T for an answer but he was awe-stricken. "Yep! I'm Vivienne and this is my teacher Mr. Thiago!" Vivienne said cheerfully while pulling Mr. T closer to the Green man. "U-um, Mateo. And yes I live over there." The teacher said pointing to another house with a moving truck in the driveway. "Minty! Nice to meet some new neighbors!" The mint man said with a smile. Minty and Mateo shook hand and talked for a bit. The entire time Vivienne just looked at her teacher as he talked. She noticed his pale face began to grow pink around the cheeks and the air around him had grown so cold you could see the teachers breath and the air around him.
"W-well we better go finish unpacking, heheh. Maybe we could have dinner sometime?" Mateo asked "OH HELL YEAH!! After we're both done with unpacking, let me show you to an awesome restaurant. Let me get your number so we can stay in touch." The two traded numbers and parted.
