The New Teacher (rdj fan-fic)

Chapter 1 - New Teacher

(Unedited - sorry about mistakes)

I wake up 8:20am to the sound of my
deafening alarm. Shit! I'm late! I fling the sheets off my legs and jump outta bed. I smack my alarm clock as hard as I can in an act of revenge. As quickly as i can, I pull up my ripped jeans and throw on my favourite hoodie. I swiftly stick on very little makeup just cause I'm late doesn't mean I can't look Half decent! I check my phone, it reads "8:25" damn! That was fast! Quickly I go down the stairs two at a time. My mam giving me a threatening glare.

"What?! I'm ready aren't I?" I sneered

Putting on my shoes and making it seem like I'm not struggling with the laces because she's watching. I stand and stare at her back and she breaks into laughter. I can't help but laugh too.

"You could of just asked for help you know" she teased.

"Shut up! I know how to do laces!"

I push past her and walk to the car, she follows. While waiting for her I checked my phone again. It reads "8:32am".

"Shit shit shit!"

I open the car door and climb in and scramble to get my seat belt on as fast as possible. She gets in and we drive to school.

The drive was pretty much silent not in an uncomfortable way. I get out and wave at her as she drives off. The reception doors calling my name cause I'm late. Ugh I'm not looking forward to this. I step in the double doors and I'm greeted by a new receptionist I've never seen before! She had blonde hair and piecing blue eyes resembling almost a barbie doll.

"Hi! Name?" She questioned in a squeaky overly nice voice

"Alexander"

"Alexanderrrr..." stretching out the end of my name

"Ivanovich" god does this woman want anything else?!

I decided to turn the tables and ask 𝘩𝘦𝘳 some questions.

" your new here aren't you?" I question

"Yeah, there are lots of new teachers who have been hired and start today. I bet you even have a few in your own timetable" she quirked

"Can you check for me?" I'm now slightly concerned I'm going to be walking into class rooms late with teachers I don't even know.

"Yep! Of course!" She typed searching my name in the database.

"I can see here you have...."

She begins listing all my teachers and all of them I recognise until she got to art...

".... Mr Downey" I don't recognise that name at all. My heart sank realising I have art first and I'm already 10 minutes late.

I dismiss the receptionist and speed walk to art. I reach the door, I take a deep breath to try and prepare myself not knowing what was waiting on the otherside.

I open the door and begin to walk to my desk with my head down like I'm invisible although I can feel everyone's eyes on me. I am almost relieved thinking I somehow got away with being obviously late until..

I hear a husky deep voice "can I help you?"

Slowly, I lift my head to see a man with fluffy brown hair brushed back but far from neatly, with large deep brown eyes staring back at me. He stood high and proud although he wasn't that tall, with the tips of his fingers in his pockets and slighting pursed lips. Giving me a dramatic look like had just murdered someone in front of him.

"I'm sorry to interrupt... I.. I.. I'm supposed to be in here, sorry I'm late" I got lost in his strong stare momentarily. My sentence sounded jumbled up in my head, I wasn't thinking before I spoke. It came out in pieces. I doubted that he would understand it, cause i didn't.

He relaxed a little, now standing on the wheels of his feet and not more on his toes.

"It's alright just take a seat at your desk" he briefly gestured towards my desk. Lifting his arm higher, he brushed his hand through his hair then placing his hand on the back of his neck.

I know where it is dingus, of course I didn't say that but I wanted too.

"Thanks" I said with a sarcastic smile.

The lesson actually went by pretty quickly. I wasn't really listening to a word he was saying as I couldn't help but be distracted by how he walked. Or should I say danced. When he moved from one side of the board to the other he almost pranced like a deer it was rather cute. He clearing loved teaching and was extremely enthusiastic. He didn't look at me much as I think he was very busy with all the other students that needed a lot more help than I needed.

Before I knew it the bell rang and it was time to leave. Great maths next ughhh. I begin packing up my things but felt like I was being watched. I look up to see Mr Downey was watching me. We made eye contact for a second but then it was broken by Mr Downey lifting his shoes onto his desk like he owned the place and placing his hands on the back of his head, leaning back in his chair and parting his lips slightly like he was in deep thought and wasn't just staring at me. Everyone was getting up so I finished gathering my things together and clutched them against my chest. I hid in the crowd of people leaving hoping he wouldn't bring up the late thing again.

"umm Alex isn't it?"

"....yes?" Shit!

"Can you wait behind a minute?" He made it clear i didn't have a choice.
