Beautiful Distraction (Lee Pace Fanfiction)

Chapter 4: Drama101

'At this rate, im going to be late for Drama' i thought grimly as i packed away equipment and started the tap sink to wash all the utensils. I would have thought the first day back at Science would be all about 'setting goals' and 'getting to know your new classmates' (Even though i already knew everyone from the years before) But nope, we made sherbet today. Yeah, the kind that you eat. It was awesome, even though the mess we made was HUGE.

There was sugar and spoons everywhere, and once the bell rung everyone left the classroom. Leaving me to tidy up their stupid mess. Even with Mr.William helping me, the mess would take at least 8 minutes or more to clean up.

My first class impression on Mr.Pace wont be going so good if i arrive late. Damn, and i wanted to leave a good impression on him too.

*Lee's Pov*

My eyes scanned over the new faces as i watched my Senior class walk into the room from behind my new desk. I had just finished teaching the Junior students, and sometime in the middle of that class i had ditched my grey blazer and was now just wearing my white dress shirt.

The room started to gradually fill with students. I saw a few girls smile and flirtatiously say hello to me. Which i mentally laughed at. How can girls act like that towards their teacher?

I kept looking briefly towards the closed door, waiting for that one familiar face to walk through it. But then the second bell rung, meaning that period 4 was now underway. I sighed, turning my eyes away from the door and standing up to do the same speech i had given the Juniors.

"Right" i started, making all the mumbling stop and for all eyes turn to me "I suppose that is all of you" i paused, waiting for anyone to correct me or stop me, but they were all silent. So i continued.

"My name is Lee Pace, but you will all call me Mr.Lee. And I will be replacing Mr.Calvin spot as Hillridge Highs drama teacher" i announced to all those who were unaware of the changeover, they started to mumble to each other again until i spoke. "Are there any questions?". I gazed around the class.

Taking their silence as a 'no', i walked back behind my desk and sat down. I was disappointed that Charlie wasn't here. I don't know why, but i wanted her to be here.

"Okay then, I'm going to start marking the roll. So respond or raise your hand if i call out your name" i said, and guess who's name was first on the name roll.

"Charlotte-Jay Adams?" i called out, fulling knowing she wasn't in class. A few kids looked around confused, probably wondering where she was too. A few seconds passed and i shrugged my shoulder. Crossing out the box next to her name.

"I guess shes not he-" At that moment the door swung open, revealing a very flustered Charlotte. Her cheeks were tinted pink and her hair was slightly askew. By the short breaths she was taking, she must have sprinted here. I nearly laughed at how funny she looked, it was almost cute.

"Sorry I'm late" she breathed out "I had science in E Block" she explained. I opened my mouth to speak but then out of nowhere a boy with ragged blond hair stood up and walked over to Charlie. He wrapped his arm around her neck and brought her into his chest. (which i was somehow annoyed at} A few people yelled across the room to greet Charlie, which she smiled and waved back at them. They were completely ignoring me. I folded my arms and coughed loudly to get their attention, which was successful..

"Your late" i commented with a raised eyebrow, trying to act as stern and strict as i could be. "It would be nice if you didn't disturb the class after i had just settled them down" I raised my eyebrow. She got the message and pushed the guy who had his arm around her away.

"Move Luke, your getting me in trouble" she whisper/yelled to him. He chuckled and muttered a 'whatever' before going to sit down in the back row. Charlie sat in the chair infront of him. I don't know why i wished for her to sit closer to the front.

"Alright, now to get back to the roll" i said, my voice sounded stern. But i was hiding a smirk that was forming on my face "Charlotte-Jay Adams?" i called out. And this time, she responded.

"Present" she grinned at me with her hand raised. I nodded back at her, still keeping my strict demur.

"Nice to meet you Ms.Adams" I greeted here like any teacher would. But instead of marking her late, i scribbled over the cross i had made before and left a tick there instead.

Why was i doing this for her? I don't know. She was only a few minutes late anyways.

*Back To Charlies Pov*

I was happy that Mr.Pace didn't seem all that angry with me. Throughout the lesson he would keep throwing glances at me. Maybe it was because Luke kept disturbing the class and talking to me.

Lucas Anderson, the school football teams best wide receiver and running back player. Don't ask me what any of those positions mean, i have no clue. But just because hes good at football doesn't rule out that hes a total douche. Like Ethan, who is in the same football team as Lucas, and happens to be skipping class right now.

I looked up from my desk and accidentally caught Mr.Pace's stare this time, we kept that stare for about 3 seconds before he quickly diverted his eyes elsewhere. I frowned a little on confusion but snapped back out of it once Luke tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and meet his gaze.

"So what are you doing for lunch? Ethan said we were all going to meet at the usual spot at the football field" He said quietly to me, careful not to get told off by our teacher. I shook my head.

"Sorry, i have an important mission to attend to" I thought of the promise i had made to Mr.Pace and that i was going to be his tour guide for Hillridge High. Luke laughed and facepalmed.

"Your crazy Char" he grinned using the nickname he gave me back when we first meet in drama.

"I try"

The lunch bell rung. And everyone was up out of their seats faster than lighting. They all headed towards the door quickly to get to the lunch line first. Except me. I packed my book and pen away slowly and made my way towards the front of the room. Mr.Pace smiled at me as i stood patiently infront of his desk.

"I believe we made plans" i reminded him with a confident smile. He chuckled.

"I believe we do" he agreed with a grin. Standing up and moving some stuff around on his desk."I'll only be a minute" he said as he organized his desk more.

"Sure, take your time" i sat down on one of the class tables and watched as he tidied his desk. I noticed that the shirt he was wearing made his muscles stand out and look more defined. I was lucky that he had his eyes focused on his table otherwise he would have caught me staring at him.

"Done" he spoke and looked at me with a smile. I jumped off the table i was sitting on and walked out of the class door with Him following behind me.

"So, where to first" i wondered out loud. Looking from left to right.

"Just show me everywhere" Mr.Pace broke in. I raised my eyebrows questioningly at him.

"Everywhere?" i questioned with a laugh "That's a lot of places Mr.Pac"

"I have a lot of spare time" I laughed while shaking my head.

"The tour is probably going to take more than an hour" i added looking at him to see his reaction.

"I don't mind" he assured with a charming smile. His eyes connecting to mine again for the 5th time today.
