Teaching, as it seems, comes with many more downs than the manual would admit. They worn you about how to deal with bad students, and bad grades, but they never prepared anyone for this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I pulled out a piece of paper that I’ve been doodling on for the last two periods and started to fill in the empty space.
I heard the sound of heels hitting against the floor and the door shut, but I just continued onto finishing my drawing.
Then I heard a voice. It came as a blur to me, though, because I was too invested on working on my drawing. “Good afternoon, class! I’m Ms. Jones and I’ll be your English teacher this year! Any questions?”
I started to finish up the picture that I drew and I stopped drowning out the surrounding voices.
Little by little I started hearing these clear voices, but they all sounded familiar.
The voice that kept repeatedly talking sounded so familiar to me, though I couldn’t put my finger on where it was coming from.
When I heard her say she was twenty-two years old, I looked up and my jaw almost dropped twenty stories.

Everything About You (A Harry Styles Fan Fiction)
“It was all a mistake. Just forget it ever happened. Leave me alone and don’t bother talking to me ever again.”85 letters. 21 words. 3 sentences… echoed in my mind all the time. Just 21 simple words had changed everything for me. It’s a little sad, isn’t it? I don’t need anyone feeling sorry for me though. I hated how the voice who’d forced those words out made me completely melt. I’d do anything just to hear the deepness and rasp of the voice one last time. The same voice that had killed all my happiness had also made me the happiest person alive. It’s so weird how a person can change so quickly without any regret. Who is this person you might say? I’m sure everyone in the world knows him…but I knew him before all of the fame. I knew the real him…but who is the “real” him anymore? Does he even remember the poor girl he broke 4 years ago? Probably not. I really believed the fame wouldn’t mess with his true self. I guess I was wrong for thinking he was different. I know all of you think he’s so sweet and innocent. How could he ever do anything wrong? I don’t blame you, but you have to remember that looks can be deceiving. I can’t give in, no matter how cute he is. No matter how much history we have…or had. Even though the guy I still love but hate is…Harry Styles.Complete

My hand reaches out to grab her face, my cool skin feels uncomfortable over her warm cheeks. She leans into my touch, green eyes fixed on mine. "As much as I'd like to do that, I have an agenda for tonight" I pull my hand back unwillingly. "What agenda?" She looks at me as if I have grown another head.

Stockholm Syndrome//H.S
As I leave, the cold British wind greets me. I zip up my sweater, and start walking home. Thanks to my parents, I don't have a car. "You're too irresponsible for a car, Courtney. You can always save up for one once you leave this house," my father had scoffed when I asked him. I walk at a fast pace, hoping to avoid any random strangers lurking in the dark streets. "Hey, darling. What are you doing all alone in the dark?" I hear a voice ask. I pick up his deep, British accent. I ignore him, and start jogging. Just a few more streets... I hear his swift feet, and he grabs me from behind, pressing a wet cloth on my face. He drags me behind a building. My muffled screams are the only noise in the silent night. I try to break from his strong, yet careful hold. I wiggle under his grip, but he only lets out a sigh. "Shhhhh...don't scream...everything will be alright...shhhh..." he whispers.

Nothing More Than Best Friends (A Harry Styles FanFic)
PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM PERIODICALLY EDITING ALL THESE CHAPTERS, SO THEY MIGHT BE AWFUL BECAUSE I WAS YOUNG AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT GRAMMAR WAS A YEAR AGO.... We used to have this game. I would sit in the audience and he would have to try and find me before the end of the show. If he did he would have to do something really weird we agreed upon while on stage. But as One Direction became more famous, tickets became more expensive and I wasn’t going to rely on Harry paying for every live show I attended. So I would visit a couple of times, I met the boys a few times and they were really lovely, but it wasn’t enough to keep the relationship Harry and I had as strong as it was. I get an occasional “Hey” text every month or so, but I haven’t seen him in about 2 years. Living right next to the Style/Cox household, I see Anne and Gemma all the time, but the few times that Harry came home, I was either on vacation or in college in the states. Harry was my best friend, but it seems like every day, the hope that we will go back to the old days comes slighter. But, little did Harry know, I was coming back into his life, well I didn’t technically know either. With my long blonde hair that reached the small of my back, dip dyed pink and purple at the ends instead of my short hair that stopped just after my shoulder blades. With my thin legs and flat stomach instead of my chubby cheeks. And the fact that I was no longer the little girl that every guy wanted as their best friend, but the girl that every guy drooled over. Harry was bound to not recognize me when I sat in the third row of his next concert in London … did I mention that every concert he would win the game?Complete

I touch his arm, but he jerks away. I hadn't seen him in person in forever. I back up. His lips curl into a smirk, Ray Bans in his hand and a bottle of scotch in the other. " I'm sorta busy, " He spits, starting to walk away. I grab onto his arm again and he angrily turns around, throwing his arms in the air. " I have to go! Leave me the hell alone. You can get a picture later, " He shouts. The anger in his tone was apparent and his teeth were clenched together. I almost whimper, when he freezes. He was acting ridiculous.

Memories of the Heart || Harry Potter x Reader
As the new school year began at Hogwarts, the platform at King's Cross buzzed with energy. Students eagerly pushed their trolleys through the barrier to reach Platform 9 ¾, their excited chatter filling the air with anticipation of what the year ahead would hold. Onboard the Hogwarts Express, conversations swirled about the mysteries and adventures awaiting them at the castle. Among the eager students was Y/N, who, in her third year, would encounter Harry Potter-the boy everyone whispered about, the one they called the Chosen One. Little did Y/N know that her life was about to change. Danger, excitement, and heartbreak loomed as she was drawn into Harry's world-a world she once thought had no bearing on her own. Fate had other plans, entwining their destinies in ways neither could foresee. Amid the chaos, something gentle began to bloom between them, lingering in glances and laughter. And then, one evening, when words failed... "Y/N..." Harry whispered, his voice tinged with awe and something else-something hungry. His eyes flickered from hers to her lips, his face flushed but resolute. "Can I-can we do that again?" Y/N's cheeks burned, her hands resting lightly against his chest. "Someone might see us." "I don't care," Harry breathed, his voice trembling with honesty. "I don't care if the whole castle sees us. I've waited so long for this-for you..." -------- This story contains... - Disclaimer-> Smut or Lemon?

Hollow (Harry Styles) #Wattys2016
I cupped her face in my hands, rubbing my thumbs in circles over her cheeks. She was having trouble finding words to describe what she felt, and I could relate. I loved her more than words could describe and telling her I loved her was almost an insult to my true feelings for her. My heart ached at just the thought of her not being with me. I honestly don't know what I would have done with myself if I had never went to that stupid party and met her. But, I have a feeling, we would have found each other, eventually. This love's too strong to ignore forever. Both of us had pieces of us missing, that neither of us were aware of until we met. We were like two puzzle pieces that finally connected. "I love you," I whispered, leaning my forehead against hers. "I love you more," she replied in a small whisper, her hand reaching up to caress my cheek while the other rested on my thigh. I shook my head, annoyed and charmed by the audacity she had to think that she could possibly love me more. "I love you most," I persisted, causing her head to moved away from mine as she looked into my eyes. "Always?" She questioned, her eyes unreadable for a moment before a flash of fear passed through. "Forever," I assured her and meaning it. We could live an entire lifetime or for eternity, and my love for her would never fade. It would only grow. There was nothing in this world that would ever change the way I loved her. My, Katarina.Complete
