The Tale of Two Twins

Chapter 4: New teacher?

The two looked back and forth at each other in disbelief.

"I-I'm a teacher?" Ash walked forward and looked at the board that read:

Due to recent incidents regarding Mr. Boeth, and the new students, we would like to introduce you to your new teacher, Mr. Ashton Reaper. We know that he is a student here, but we have looked at the grades and markings that he received at his last school in English and decided that, he was fit to become the new English teacher for the time that Mr. Boeth will be absent. I and the Board of Education apologize for not having the funds to hire a proper substitute for you all, but I know that Mr. Reaper will be responsible. Now, please be respectful as he introduces himself to you all."

-Mrs. Komenco

"Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah." Ash said putting both of his hands up, closing his eyes, and walking out of the classroom.

"Ash!" Jack said, trying and get his brothers attention.

"BIG ASS NOPE MY DOODE!" Ash said continuing to walk out of the room.

"ASHTON JECKEL REAPER!" Jack said with a strong tone in his voice.

Ash stopped and turn to face his brother who had started to freeze the ground beneath him, due to his eyes being open. Ash walked away. He was about fifteen feet away from his brother. Ash then opened his eyes and started to melt the ice around his brother. "I'm not a teacher, nor do I even want to be. You do it instead of me."

"No Ash. Your name is up on that board, not mine. Therefore, you will be the one to go and do what those teacher plans say." The bell then rang.

Ash sighed, closing his eyes, knowing that there was nothing that he could say, or do, to change his brother's strong-headed mind. Jack then closed his eyes as Ash and he walked into the room before the other students began to flood the room and read what was on the board. Ashton walked to the desk to look at the plans while fellow students around him started to mummer about the name that was written on the board. The students knew exactly who he was without him even having to say anything. 

Once all the students had sat in their seats. Looking at the teacher plans, Ash noticed that there were other students names on the list. One student in each class had been given the job of 'teaching' their class. After the bell had rung again, Ashton started class.

"Okay, so, I'm Ashton Reaper, as you all might know, and I guess I am going to be teaching this class... Um, I think we should start with attendance..." Ashton picked up the attendance sheet and began to call out names. Halfway through calling names, a random student jumped out of her seat and spoke out of line.

"Wait! You're the new boy! Why are you the teacher and not me?!" the strange girl asked. She had been the student with the best grades in that period before Ashton showed up.

"Look, I really don't know, nor do I want to do it, so if you could just sit down-" the strange girl cut Ash off.

"No! Why are you the teacher and not me?!" she said slamming her hands down on the desk.

"SIT DOWN!" Jack yelled at the girl from the back of the room. "He doesn't even want to do it but if you continue to interrupt my lovely brother here, he can send you to the principal's office, so why don't you just sit down?" Jack finished the last part in a very calm manner.

"No! I will not! Why!?" the girl demanded an answer.

"Listen, I think that it is very disrespectful to yourself, and to me, that you are taking it into your own hands to call out to a man that -may I might add- you don't even know, and you are making inquiries about me that are simply not true before you have even gotten to know me. I think that you could learn a few things if you just sit down and close your mouth so you can listen to a sound lesson. THANK YOU!" Ash said with confidence.
