Here is the first episode! 

---------------------------------------------------------

"Alright class that's it for today, please leave your essays on the desk on your way out." Joe instructs his senior class it being one of the only instructions most of them follow. Joe watches as the last student leaves his room sighing when the door closes. He gazes up at the clock seeing his has just five minutes before his next class arrives. He stands up wondering out of his room locking the door behind him, he wanted a break from teaching and it had only been one lesson. Joe had only been a teacher for the past couple of months after passing all of his college exams sooner than anybody would have thought. His passion for English was strong but it weren't shown in today's lesson. Being the youngest teacher and most popular was tough. 

"Hello mister Jonas, how are you today?" Mrs. Bell one of the other English teachers questions him handing him a coffee knowing exactly how he liked it. She was like his mother and was old enough to be his. Joe takes a sip of his coffee before answering. 

"Tired." He admits. 

"Are you not sleeping very well?" She guesses Joe nodding his head. 

"Yeah anyway I must go, got freshmen next. Thanks for the coffee," He says before leaving the room heading back to his class greeting the freshmen students who were waiting outside for him. "Come in." Joe only walks in the room once the students have placing his mug on a coaster which was laying on his desk next to a stack of essays he would have to mark today. He waits until the second bell has rung before teaching. 

"Can anyone remember what we did last lesson?" He questions standing up in front of his desk leaning against it slightly. 

"We did poetry." Casey, one of the smartest students in the class calls out Joe giving her a smile. He could always count on Casey to give right answers, he felt bad for the bullying she got but he will admit she was the 'teacher's pet'. 

"Guess who?!" Joe hears from outside his door that lunchtime, he shakes his head gently knowing how childish his younger but twin brother could be but at the same time he was so serious. It was like he had two personalities. Just like Joe on a more serious note. Joe looks towards the door seeing the shadow of his brother. 

"Nick get in here." Joe grumbles the door opening revealing his younger brother but only by a couple of minutes stood there lunch in his hands. 

"I knew you wouldn't have packed yourself lunch." He states making his way in shutting the door behind him using his foot. It was often that the two brothers would join together for lunch, they still thought themselves as brothers and not co-workers. 

"What made you think that?" Joe inquires bringing up a chair next to him on the desk so Nick could sit down next to him. 

"Because I know what you're like," Nick notes handing him a sandwich which Joe took unwrapping the foil on the outside. "You want to come over tonight for a beer and watch the game?" Nick inquires hoping that his brother would say yes, it wasn't often he saw Joe outside of work and would love it if he could see more.

"Sorry I can't." Joe apologises Nick sighing. 

"So you're going to stay home all night by yourself?" Nick questions taking a bite of his own sandwich watching Joe's hand slap the pile of papers at the end of the desk. 

"Got essays to grade." Joe lies, he wasn't doing that tonight. He had other plans. Nick sighs again wanting to help his brother out, he seemed depressed but he didn't know what to do anymore, he had tried everything including talking to their parents. They weren't much help, Joe didn't know how much Nick truly cared about him.
