///////////////////////////////////////

Luke's POV:

Wow I remember a few years ago, saying "now I have a boyfriend! And his name is Calum Thomas Hood." Well. Now I have a fiancé and his name is Calum Thomas Hood. I could not be more happy, he's the best thing that's ever happened to me. We had the most amazing day yesterday. We saw the school, got engaged, then ordered a banging Chinese as we both lay in our nest, built of blankets and pillows and then made love on the blankets. I woke up to the same irritating beeping alarm as always, except this time...we hit snooze. We hit snooze and we were running late for work. Fucks sake. "Ah shit..crap, fuck Cal" i nudged him as I realised we were late. "Mmm...5 more minutes babe.." he mumbled. As much as I wanted to, not this time. We couldn't. "Work started 10 minutes ago..." I sat up and stretched before getting up and making us a coffee quickly, and then I suddenly necked my coffee as fast as I could. "oH...well this might be a good thing for me, Chuck might fire me and I can either get my old job back or be moved to a different office." He then stood up. "But you...you probably have kids in the office waiting for you..." he added and quickly got some clothes out for the both of us. I sighed stressfully and started to get changed as Calum then poured his coffee down his neck. "He better not treat you like shit, I'll just...I'll think of an excuse" I threw on my clothes. To be honest we both didn't smell the greatest, we just sprayed ourselves with deodorant and body spray as we didn't have time to shower. Calum then started getting dressed. "Say that I fell down the stairs and you had to help me" he giggled, i couldn't help but chuckle back. "Yeah okay, that might work." After we finished getting ready in about five minutes, we left as quickly as we could and got in the car. Calum started driving towards the school, bless him for wanting to make sure I get there first. He always started after me, but he would be running late anyways because of how long it takes driving me to work. But he really didn't seem to care. "So, are you gonna show off your new ring at work?" "Yeah course, I'm proud to be yours" I smiled but was really panicky when I looked at the time. "Good.."

Our smalltalk continued for a few minutes until he dropped me off outside school. I really fucking hope I wouldn't get fired for this. He dabbed a quick peck on my cheek as he pulled over. "Have a good day babe" "you too babe, I love you.." "I love you too." We kisses as I got out of the car, I felt a big ball of nerves bundle up in my stomach. I was nervous about getting into trouble, but even more worried about Calum. I really hope he was going to be okay, if Chuck was to lay a finger on him again I'd absolutely kill him. As I walked into the school, I got stopped by Dave outside of his office. Fuck. "You better have some explaining to do." He folded his arms and glared at me. Fucks sake he was going to fire me wasn't he? I guess all I could do was apologise and try to play it as cool as I could. "I'm sorry I'm late." I sighed. Dave then had a confused look on his face. "What? Pffft no I'm not bothered about that! Fuck the kids. I'm pissed off you didn't message me or ask me how my date went with the MILF on Friday night!!" He exclaimed. I felt relieved that I wasn't in trouble but at the same time, I was very 😶 at this rate. I have had too much of a mental weekend, I had completely forgotten about that. "oH! oH okay! Sorry for not...asking you that...how did it go?" I asked hoping it'll put him in a better mood. "Oh man! She was so fucking fit! I even cried at one point because I was so intimidated!" He began to ramble. Jesus Christ. Well. "Anyway, since you're late I told your class to catch up on late homework. They're in there waiting for you." He grinned. Well, that could've gone worse but I'm glad it went okay. "Well that's...great.." I have him a polite and happy smile. "No worries...sorry again!" I made my way to the classroom. Well. Let's hope the kids weren't angry at me for being late, I hope they were actually doing their work.

I went to put my things on the desk. Before I could even speak up or greet my class, of course Arzaylea had to open her mouth first. "Why are you late sir? I missed you..." she texted her chin in her hand supported by her elbow on her desk. Well I haven't missed her, crazy fucking kid. I mean yes she works hard but she's not particularly getting better with her perverted behaviour. "Sorry about that everyone...something came up." I gave Arzaylea a rather 😶 look. "Anyways.." I sat down and started looking through the sheets for today's assignments. "How was your weekend sir?" Arzaylea asked as she got out her pencil case. "Yes it was lovely thank you. You?" I asked back, only to be nice. Didn't want to seem r00d. "Was fab! I got laid so it was fab." She replied. Ugh. I had to ask didn't I? Fucks sake. "Um..that's inappropriate. Please don't say stuff like that." I said bluntly. "I mean you did ask if I had a good weekend but okay." She responded with a sharp scoff and started scribbling in her book. At this rate, I was starting to get annoyed as fuck but it was hard to not show it in front of my students. I had been getting better at it, but with the overwhelming events that's happened this weekend I feel it'll be much tougher to endure during class now. "Yes but you didn't need to go into that much detail. And please stop scribbling in your book." I ordered her. I regret being so stern because that seemed to make her whisper to her friend "isn't he so hot when he gets all wound up?" She then stopped scribbling and looked up at me. "Mhmmm sorry sir" she spoke aloud again. I then heard her friend whisper back "definitely, ive got puSSy tingles." She bit her lip. I felt disgusted and extremely uncomfortable hearing students of the age of 17 talking about me like that. I wish they'd shut up and be respectful. I let out a heavy sigh. "Right then, thank you."

I then got a bit of time to teach the class without her acting the way she does. Well, that lasted about half an hour. When I was in the middle of teaching French art and music, Arzaylea then opened her fucking gob again. I swear to god if she wasn't my student I'd teach her a lesson. She put her hand up and yelled "ooooh I haven't done my homework Mr Hemmings! Are you going to put me in detention? Punish me?" She smirked. Fucks sakes "Don't bother Arzaylea. He's already in love......." he smiled. ".....with my sister! Meredith told me about you two dating, congratulations Mr Hemmings!" He cheered.  "and why didn't you do your homework Arzay- wait what?" My eyes widened as I realised what Rory had just said. She said what!? What the fuck?! I really hope she didn't tell him about what happened with me and her this weekend. "I mean excuse me? I'm not dating your sister Rory.." I corrected him. This was all just a disaster. "She told me you were back together and that you might be having a baby together! You're gonna be the father of my dear niece or nephew and I can't wait!" He jumped for joy. No, no no NO! "Congrats Mr Hemmings!" The class cheered. Oh god please no! Fucks sake again! I sighed very stressfully. "Rory that's kind but we don't know if she's pregnant." I looked at him. "She bloody better not be" I muttered to myself. "Either way I'm glad you're together. You finally got rid of Calum! Meredith used to call him...erm... 'a cunt'? Not sure what it means though." He smiled. My eyes widened and I felt my blood boil, I was FURIOUS. Having to stay calm in front of my class was as challenging as a dyslexic person playing scrabble. "She called him what!? I'm not dating your sister Rory! We aren't having a kid. I'm actually engaged to Calum, very happily. So that's fucking eno- that's enough." I cleared my throat hoping they wouldn't notice that I swore. "Ughhh you're so hot when you swear" Arzaylea groaned and started drawing on the desk, but I couldn't even tell her off for that because by this point Rory had stood up and started shouting at me. "Are you calling my sister a liar?! WELL IM TELLING HER ABOUT THIS AND SHES GONNA RUIN YOUR LIFE!! So PFFFFFTT to you!" Balls of spit escaped from his mouth and across the room, and he ran out crying. I rubbed my temples stressfully. "Oh for fucks sake Rory come back!" I yelled, not even caring that I swore again. They're seventeen year old kids in sixth form, I'm sure I can get away with it. "Um...sir...I don't think he's coming back. Who's Meredith? Rory is such a fucking idiot, why would you date his sister?! She's just as bad I bet." Arzaylea continued to draw on the desk. I just got the textbooks out, even though class was almost over. "Arzaylea don't call him that. It's personal and this is school. You need to get on with your work okay?" I looked at her. "Ugh..yes sir..keep talking to me like that! Keep telling me what to do!" She moaned. That's it. I've had enough. I've had fucking enough. "Right Arzaylea, you can get out too if you're gonna keep talking like that." "But why would I want to do that?" She carried on drawing in the desk. What's she writing anyhow? How dare she do graffiti in my class. "Because you are being inappropriate! What are you drawing? What's so important to print into the desk than learn? Tell the class, go on." I asked. Hopefully I wouldn't regret asking this. "N-nothing.." she covered it with her arm. I sighed and walked over to her. "Take your arm away." I ordered her. She moved her arm and my eyes widened with confusion AGAIN once I saw she drew into the desk. "Um...it says...'Larzaylea 4eva'..." she muttered as the class started laughing at her. The fuck? "What? What does that even mean? Who's that?" I was completely oblivious. "It means Luke and Arzaylea. I know your name because I stalked your Instagram." She confessed. Why would she tell me that?! Erughhh!!!! I was so fucking 😶 when she told me that. "What the fu-" I sighed and rubbed my face stressfully. "You know what, I'm just going to try and ignore that." I walked back to my desk. As soon as I sat down Arzaylea slammed her desk and stood up. " you know what?! I can go and tell Dave right now that you've upset me! I can get you fired! Va te faire foutre!" She cursed at me in French. No, no god no! This bitch is crazy! "No wait! I'm sorry!" I sighed. She smirked and sat straight  he back down. "that's what I thought hmm. I'd be more careful with how you speak to me. Unless you plan on turning me on. unless you plan on turning me on. Then you can speak to me like shit." She added. Oh for fucks sake! "That's disgusti-" I bit my tongue not wanting to make anything worse. "Let's just get on with the lesson alright?" I tried to calm things down. This entire class has just been a complete and utter bundle of stress. Definitely my worst lesson taught by far. I was gagging for a cigarette which made things worse. But class was almost over. Arzaylea just kept winking and smirking at me during class making it more difficult.

Let's hope I can pull through, what a fucking nightmare!
