~Nyx's POV~
That morning,I walked into school with my best friend Diana,and we headed to our first class. Music.
We stopped at the door. "Uh... Is it me... Or are you seeing him too?" I asked. "yea.. I see him.. or are we both still high.. and in the wrong school again?" Diana asked. "Uuhh-" I started.
"Ladies,please take your seats." The new teacher said. We both nodded and walked to our seats.
"As some of you may know,your old music teacher,Misses Rose,is on maternity leave,so I will be subsituting for the time being." "My Name is Christian,but you may call me Mister Anthony." The teacher explained.
He had an Australian accent. I could tell because I have relatives in Australia.
"Before we start,any questions?" He asked. I raised my hand.
"Yes you young lady." He said,pointing to me.
"Not to be disrespectful sir,but would it be alright if I asked what part of Australia you hail from?" I asked.
He warmly smiled. "Not disrespectful at all. I'm from Sydney. Why do you ask?" He replied.
"I have relatives from Brisbane and Cairns." I replied. His face lit up!
"Ripper!" He beamed!
"Now on to the lesson!" He said brightly.
~After class~
"Miss Nyx." Mister Anthony said. I stopped and turned,and walked over. "Yes sir?" I asked. He lightly smiled.
"I just wanted to thank you for making me feel so welcome here. Eases the homesickness." He replied.
I smiled. "Well I'm very glad I could. Have a great day Mister Anthony." I replied. We shook hands. "You too miss Nyx." He replied.
I started to walk out. "and Mister Anthony." I said,turning to face him. "Yes?" He asked. "My aunt and my mum run a café called Honey Moon bistro,just down the street." "They can whip up some of the best Lamington and Fairy bread,whenever you miss home a little extra." I replied.
He smiled wide. "thank you Miss Nyx. I really appreciate it." He replied. I nodded,and walked to my next class.
~After school~
I was at my mum's and Aunt's bakery, helping bake and serve customers, when my teacher Mister Anthony walked over. "Mister Anthony! What a pleasant surprise!" I beamed!
"Oh! Nyx! Hi! Please do feel free to call me Christian outside of school though." He replied. I smiled and nodded. "What can I get you?" I asked.
"A little bird told me this place whips up some mean Lamington." He replied. I nodded and wrote it down. "Anything else?" I asked. "I think I'll snag that caramel macchiato." He replied. I nodded and wrote it down.
He paid and went to his seat. He took out his laptop,and started working.
I went in the kitchen and started making the Lamington.
~Few minutes later~
"Lamington and Caramel Macchiato for Christian!" I called. He walked over and grabbed it with a smile. I returned the smile.
~Later that night~
I was up in my room studying with Diana. "You'll never guess what happened today." I told Diana. "Do spill!" She replied with a grin.
"So after music class,I told Mister Anthony about my Aunt's and Mum's bakery. The Honey Moon bistro. And it was my shift today,and he came in." I said.
"NO!! Nyx! You're kidding me!!" She gasped with a laugh.
"Nope! And better yet,he told me to call him by his first name,Christian, outside of school." I replied with a smirk.
Diana gasped! "You're about to be teacher's pet!" She beamed! We both laughed,and got back to our studies.
"Wait till he sees you tomorrow though. I bet he'll want you to stay after class.." she said hintingly. I cracked up!
"I'm Twenty! That's illegal!! Never gonna happen!" I giggled! "Pfftt!! So!? That's what makes it fun! The risk!" Diana teased.
We both dissolved into fits of laughter.
"Okay okay,back to work Dingus!" I chuckled. Diana nodded,and we continued our homework.
