Teacher Teacher

Elijah's POV

"Hello class" said Ms. Wall, shifting from one foot to the other as she leaned aginst the empty desk. It was quiet because no one wanted to deal with her if she felt "disrespected". She had come in to talk  to them about why Ms. S had been fired. Ms. S was the 11th grade science teacher and everyone liked her because her class was the easiest to pass. She had been there for a couple years and every student to ever step foot in her class passed. She practically gave out A's. This was exactly why she was being removed. The principal felt that she was reinforcing the idea that you had the right to a grade you didn't  work for. Eli didn't really mind her teaching ethic though.

It allowed him to skim the top and play football. He was a straight C student but with the A from Ms. S, it balanced out his GPA enough that he was allowed to play. His head dips forwards as his battle to stay awake sways towards sleeps side. There's a click of heels as the new teacher struts in. There are a few gasps but sleep seemed so enticing. Eli puts his back against his chair and closes his eyes. The girl behind him rubs his head and he sighs in slight content. She had been one of his conquests last year and man was she an easy pleaser. A throat is cleared and the girl stops. He sighs and sits up, putting his on the desk instead. The same throat is cleared again and finally he sits up fully "You need a cough drop or somethin'?" his usual frown deepens and a few chuckles pass through the class. He rolls his eyes and looks up into sterling green eyes of their new teacher. 

His face is a mask of indifference and his posture communicated that he was there for a check. Nothing more. "No I do not need one" his voice made the girl next to Eli shiver and smile flirtatiously. He sneers at the girl and she rolls her eyes. "This is Mr. K" Ms. Wall smiles at him too then waves as she departs. The girls watched Mr. K eagerly and the boys even seem interested in what he was gonna do. Eli watches him but mainly because he wanted to know what kind of teacher he was. He seemed to only be interested in the check but maybe that's what every teacher seemed like to Eli.

Mr. K walks around the desk to set his coat and bag down. He runs a hand through his gelled hair then leans against the desk, his posture instantly seeming to relax "Well maybe we should start introductions, shall we?" he smiles warmly as he scans the crowd. "Who would like to start?" he asks and every girl's hand shoots up.

''Maybe he won't be that bad"  thought Eli. All of them answering meant less work for him.
