Mine // OC backstory

Chapter Three

We all stood outside waiting for another short moment when suddenly the door opened, and there he stood, our new teacher, the teacher that was about to probably go through the worst year of his career. Our class had a reputation of being the most disruptive and trouble-making class in the whole grade. I was ashamed to even be a part of this class at this point, my teacher from last year said she was going to have a word about me moving classes, which she evidently forgot about.

"Okay eveyone, come on in." The teacher said politely as he made a signal with his hands for us to go in. We all made our way in, me being last since I basically got shoved out of the way. I came to a halt when I saw everyone standing in a row, I clumsily squeezed in between Adaiko and someone else who I was civil with, Alimi.

The seating plan was being assigned, he came over to us one by one and pointed at the seat we were to be sat in. Some of the tables looked like absolute hell to be sitting on, poor Adaiko got put onto a desk with people he didn't like and they didn't like him, but I'm sure that will probably change next month or something.

The teacher came over and pointed at me, and I was on the front desk, which was great since I get to be closest to the board and the teacher, in case I need to say something or excuse myself, and the even better thing was that somehow it worked out that me and Alimi sat next to each other.

The final student sat down and we were ready to begin, however before we started getting into the actual lesson, the teacher decided to introduce himself, which was really nice of him, I mean he didn't have to do that, he's the first teacher I've had to do that.

"Hello everyone, I'm Mr Shenseki, and I'm going to be your history teacher for this year." He smiled, he looked so smart and mature, and strangely enough decent in general for a teacher, don't take that the wrong way though, I wouldn't even dare call or think of a teacher as attractive. Most of the teachers I've had before looks like they got dressed in the dark or dragged through a hedge backwards.

Alimi whispered to me "The poor dude doesn't know what he's in for..." as she looked in Tamikiko's direction, I nodded in agreement; Tamikiko was sat there gawping at him, biting her lips lustfully which made me gag, I put my hand over my mouth when I realized Mr Shenseki heard, I must of been louder than I thought.

"Are you alright?" he looked concerned "You look rather pale."

 I gulped and simply nodded, he smiled at me before continuing with the introduction, I felt so bad that I just interrupted his introduction with a gag, I felt so embarrassed, Alimi put her arm around me to try and comfort me. I hid my face in my hands because I feel this has already taken a bad turn. 

He started to talk about lessons. "And the subjects we'll be covering this year will be..."

I zoned out. Completely oblivious to anything that was going on anymore. I could feel knots tying in my throat and butterflies happily tickling my stomach. Please not now, not today.

I'm having daydreams about the mess that could end up being history this year, disaster after disaster after disaster. My breathing began to get heavy.

Alimi looked at me, worried. She raised her hand to attract Mr Shenseki's attention.

"I think Fleuriku needs to take a breather." Alimi's voice went croaky. I was waiting for the usual response of "oh she's fine" or "she has to stay in."

But no. He crouched opposite me.

He looked at me, with a worried expression before whispering gently "Alright Fleuriku, lets get you out for some air." I frantically nodded while tears started to stream down my flustered cheeks. "Alright everyone, take a look at the starter work on the board." He announced to the rest of the room before taking me out of the class. I looked over my shoulder briefly to see eyes staring back at me, Tamikiko looking like she was about to make a few jokes, and Alimi and Adaiko looking quite concerned, but most were just staring. Ominously. It made me panic even more.

He quietly shut the door behind him, and looked at me, still, with a worried expression. I tried to wipe away the tears.

"This isn't exactly how I imagined my first lesson with this class." He tried to joke, I giggled a little.

"Me neither" I mumbled.

Our eyes met for a brief minute before swiftly parting ways.

"Now, you don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to, because I respect the fact you may not feel comfortable talking to me, but of course, if you want to tell me anything then that's perfectly fine." He smiled comfortingly. I was kind of in shock, a teacher that actually understands and respects privacy, this must be a first!

"I don't really know to be perfectly honest" I sighed "I guess I'm just scared about making a fool of myself again like last year."

"Don't say that" he answered in a kind tone "I've just arrived here and I already know that you aren't a fool, so don't let anyone make you think or feel that way." I weakly smiled, I felt my cheeks become warm. "Thank you, Mr Shenseki."

"You don't need to thank me Fleuriku, it's just want I'm here to do, and if you need to talk to me at anytime just come and find me here." He put his hand on my shoulder "Now, do you want to stand out here for a little bit or go get some air or come back in?"

"You'd let me go get air?" I said, in shock as this is the first time a teacher has suggested that to me.

"Well, if that's what you want to do, then of course; I can't just force you to come back into the classroom!" He joked

"I appreciate that. Really." I smiled properly as I wiped my eyes dry.

"You go, I'll see you soon."  He smiled as he opened the classroom door slightly.

"O-okay." I nodded "Thank you, again"

"Like I said, you don't need to thank me, it's just what I'm here for." 

I smiled at him again and started to walk off, I smiled over my shoulder as I watched the door close slowly.

I don't know what just happened in those few minutes, but it felt more like a whole hour just passed by; I've never felt what I'm feeling, almost like excitement, I was just glad that I was allowed to go on this walk to clear my head, and then I will carry on with History hopefully like nothing happened.
