beautiful smile that reached
her eyes.


Picking up the other papers I looked at them. Who ever did these could really draw. I glanced up at the clock and saw that I was late for the class I was suppose to cover. I rushed down the hallways I tripped and tried to manage to catch my footing. I almost fell, looking around I was glad nobody was there to see me. And this time I took my time not wanting to fall again.


I finally reached the classroom. Opening the door, surprised at the sight that was before me. Students were throwing paper airplanes and balls around the small classroom, there were students sitting on top of desks, standing even. And I caught some of them on their phones. My teacher instincts took over, I had to get this class under control, and fast. I strode up to the front of the class.


"Excuse me" I said loud enough for the class next door to hear. To my disappointment nobody stopped what he or she were doing. I needed more then my voice, I thought. Looking around my eyes fell on a heavy Spanish book that had been lying on the floor. I picked it up and banged it against the side of the desk. The class got quiet, staring at me. That's better I smiled. I let go of the book, letting gravity push it back to the floor with a loud thump.


I smiled, introducing myself. "Hello class I'm Ms. Brooks your substitute teacher, can you please get off the desks and sit in your seats and put your phones away." I ask politely.

They did what I ask, all eyes on me as the waited for what was next. "You can keep talking but please do it quietly" I walked around the teacher desk and sat down in the comfy chair. I glanced down on the magazine that the previous teacher had left; picking it up I started to flip through the pages. Taking in the colorful pictures.

A few minutes had pasted when I heard footsteps approaching the desk. Putting the
magazine down slowly from my face, it allowed me to see who was blocking my reading light. My eyes fell on a girl with blonde hair and big blue eyes.

"They told me to give you this," she said handing me a piece of paper that she had been holding. Taking the paper and read it. It notified me that I had to cover another
class after this one. Sighing I handed her back the paper and then thanked
her.


The bell rang, standing up I walked to over another class. What's with all these teachers being absent? Walking inside the gym and saw students sitting on the bleachers talking. I told them they could do what ever they wanted it was a free period. Some of the boys played basketball and the girls sat around watching the boys, talking about which boy was hot. I sat down looking to my right to see one person who was still sitting on the bleachers. I turned my whole body around so I can get a better look

at this person. It was a boy that I had seen before, I knew because of the way his body had been built. I walking over to get a better look, I noticed that it was Kaden! Closer observation told me that he was writing something in a book. I moved, walking slowly as I approached him, careful so that he couldn't hear my steps.

When I was close enough I looked over his shoulder and saw that he was not writing but drawing, I squinted, noticing it looked like the drawings that had been in the back of my classroom earlier. I stepped a little closer to get a better look. I was so close to my goal, only to step on something that made a loud enough sound for him to look up at me.

"Hey Kaden." I smiled guiltily. He looked at me with caution in his eyes.

"Hi Ms. B." He said finally. I smiled because that was the first time he looked me in the eyes as he said my name.


"Did you draw all of these?" I pointed to his book.


"Yeah." he smiled blushing a little.

"Can I see more?" I asked.

"erm.."

"Can I look at one picture?" I said pushing him.

He finally nodded and handed me the book. I couldn't help but notice how he had drew all the kids in the gym. The detail was amazingly accurate.

"Your drawings are really good" I complimented him.

"Thanks." he says shyly, blush returning to his soft cheeks.

The bell rang, with that Kaden took the book out my hand, putting it back inhis book bag as he left the gym. I followed him out, walking out of the large gym and towards my next period class; thinking about Kaden and his drawings. He seemed like a loner. I went back to my homeroom class;excited it was the last one. All I had to do was teach this next class and then I get the freedom to go back home.


Chapter 3


The rest of the week went passed fast, It was fun teaching and getting

to know my students and there personalities. I couldn't help but think that John Glenn High School was 2x as better as mine. Great clubs and mostly great students.

Today was the day I had to accompany Ms.Gram to the cemetery.we decide on white roses. The ones we chose were especially beautiful.

But right now was in class making sure everything was going okay. I heard someone call my name. From the far side of the room. And I guessed his name. Hopefully I will remember everyone's name by the end of this marking period.


"Yes Jacob" I said.

"Ms.B we need another work sheet paper" he answered.


I went over to my desk to get more work sheets. Okay, where are the papers? I looked in the draws of the desk and everything.Guess I'm not the most organized. I guess I'm going to have to make more copies.


"Class I'm going to have to my copies I'll be right back" I rushed out the classroom and went straight to the teacher's lounge where the copy machine was.

This was my first time going in there since I started this job. The room was small but not an I can't breath small , they painted it blue and in the corner have a white couch , there was posters on the wall, and used coffee mugs on the tables. Beside from me there was a woman there using the microwave, she had long brown hair that stopped at her shoulders and a black skirt that stopped at her knees, on with a white button down shirt and black high heels, I looked up in her face to see
she was wearing glasses, she turned and looked at me I gave her a small smile.

I walked over to the copy machine and placed the paper on it. I tried to see what button make the machine start to work but I had no luck.


"Do you need help" a friendly voice ask.


I turned to see the woman who is using that microwave smiling at me.

I smiled back "Yes I seem to have trouble working it" I laughed, she laughed with me and showed me how to using next time I need to use it again.

I picked up the copies and she made me a lot "So your new here"she statement less than a question.


"Yes this is my first week working here" I replied.


"Do you like it so far?"


"Yes" we were now walking back towards our class.


She pointed to a classroom "Well this is my homeroom see you around"


"See you around" I couldn't wave goodbye to her cause my hands were full of the work sheets. But before I walked to my class I called out to her.


She turned around "Yes?" she ask.


"I didn't get your name" I said.


"Ashley" she answer "And yours? she ask.


"Harmony" I answered


"Cute name"


I smiled and kept on walking when something bumped into me. The papers went flying everywhere. Everything was on the floor messed up. Who knew? maybe in about a few minutes a bunch of people are going to walk all over the pages, only to leave dirty footprints. I put one hand over my eyes and groaned I got on the floor and started to gather all the pieces of paper together.


"Oh I'm so sorry" a male voice said. I looked up and saw the most beautiful man, yes I said beautiful not handsome. He was wearing a suit that fit his body just right, his hair was jet black waves, gray eyes, and a sexy smile with a dimple in each cheek.


"It okay" I said still staring. He chuckled and I looked down and try not to blush and try to pick up the paper faster.He bend down "Here let me help you" he smiled.


I nodded my head, there was one more paper to pick up I reached for it and didn't see he was doing the same thing so our hands touch, I pulled my hand back quick and raised to my feet, he did the same, and handed me the last paper.


"Here you go"


"Thanks"


"It was nice meeting you" he said.


"You too. I have to get back to my class"


He looked a little disappointed "See you later?" he ask.


"Yeah"I walked back to class thinking about the new mystery man and what he was like, and why was he in this school? Was he picking up his son or daughter? Or maybe he was a teacher too? So many questions and no answers.


For the rest of the day I wore a smile on my face, some of my students thought I was crazy, but I just laughed them off. I was young enough to understand them, its just that they're to young to understand me.


***************************************

After school was done I went to the flower shop so I can get theroses. It didn't cost me that much, Me and Ms.Gram started this tradition last year when I walked inside her house on her husband anniversary to see her curled up in a ball. I told her it would be better it she visit his grave and tell him things that's going on in her life.she thought it was a good idea.


I drove to my house and got ready to leave with Ms.Gram,I had on a black dress that reached my knees with a pair of black high heels. I put my in a ponytail and put on a little make up. I really didn't like wearing it but I wanted to look nice. When I checked in the mirror I looked cute, I picked up the flowers and went over to Ms.Gram house,and knocked on her door. I gave her a small smile when she opened the door.


"Are you ready?" I ask.


She nodded her head and locked the door "As ready as
