"Can I come in?"
"Um...sure hurry." You quickly made sure no other teachers were outside just watching you like a hawk before closing the door. "This is an unexpected visit at 11:00 in the middle of the night."
"I apologize for interrupting you at such a late hour. I was hoping you'd speak with me."
"Hoping? Hey, If you need help with grading, I'm game."
"Haha, nothing like that I'm afraid. I came to talk actually."
"About what exactly? Did I mess something up with the curriculum? Oh crap, did I leave phone in the classroom?"
"Be serious for a moment. I wanted to talk about........today."
"You mean those girls?"
"Yes Winter...why'd you do it?"
"I felt bad. No one should be treated like that especially since it's college, that kind of bullying is apart of the zero tolerance rule."
"Then why did you help me?"
"As a good person..."
"No. Me specifically. It's common knowledge that even though your a student teacher, you can still be fired for any misdemeanor towards the students.....yet....you risked your job to defend me and me alone. Why...is that?"
"I......I just.."
You slowly opened your eyes, the dim room easing into focus as you sat up. ".....That dream again?" You slid over to let your feet touch the ground and let a long sigh as you stretched and stood up. Looking back, there sat a window, one that aided in illuminating the room. From your room, you could easily see the trees that swayed in the wind and cars that lit up the streets. The sight that really drew in, even to put the bed by the window, was the sight of the moon in night sky. Cloudy days were days to close the blinds but on nights as clear as this, the moon really earned the title of it's beauty shining with magnificent light and stunning placement among the stars. The rays of moonlight shone brightly into people's home's almost as if to invite those could see it's brilliance to the moon itself. After one big yawn, you exited the bedroom and made your way to the small kitchen and fixed yourself a glass of classic orange juice. After smashing the entire cup, you placed it in the sink and slowly sunk into the chair at the dining room. "Why do I keep having that dream? Who is that girl I keep talking to?"
"You risked your job to defend me and me alone." the voice echoed in his head like an alarm clock.
You put your head to the table and tried to desperately think. "I feel like I know that voice but....I just can't put a face to it. Hehe, neither will my dream considering I felt like I was talking to a my own shadow the entire time." You didn't know how to feel about such a dream. You'd been having it ever since last week with no reason nor explanation. You sighed continuing to think until the lure of sleep was obvious. Within minutes you were having that same dream.
"No. Me specifically. It's common knowledge that even though your a student teacher, you can still be fired for any misdemeanor towards the students.....yet....you risked your job to defend me and me alone. Why...is that?"
"I......I just.."
"Why Winter? Why would you sacrifice your own job for me?"
"Because.....I felt...I..."
"Those girls were right anyway. I'm just a nerd."
"No....you're much more...."
"I've never had a boyfriend, I've never had anyone even ask me out....I'm just a ugly nerd."
Like a rocket you jumped and embraced this shadow in your arms. You didn't know who she was or what she was talking about but something felt right about this. Before you knew it, the shadow began to draw ever closer to your lips. As soon as you made contact however."
"Son of a..." you said as a pounding at your door dropped you from your chair to the floor.
"Mr. Winter?" A soft female voice announced from the opposite side of your door." I'm sorry for being so aggressive but I was told to inform you that you're late for your class."
"Wha.....Really?! What time is it?"
"6:00 AM."
"Oh crap! Can you do me a favor and stall the dean while I get ready?"
"Of course sir. I don't know how long I can though so please hurry."
"Thank you so much."
"My pleasure."
You quickly wrestled to get your self in order before things went south as you made a mental check list. White dress shirt, check. Black dress pants, check. Dress shoes, check. Um....Wait....I need my glasses. As you grabbed them from the nightstand you realized you put on the most out of sync outfit in your closet. "Dammit." After a few minutes of searching for the right clothes, you slipped into the bathroom ready for hygiene. You stared into the mirror for a moment at the powder blue eyes staring back. "I gotta stop checking myself out. Ok let's see."
You brushed your teeth, flossed, and did all the standard things before taking a brush to your silver hair. After that you made any last minute adjustments and grabbed the backpack and room key off the hook on the wall, you sprinted like a Olympic runner out of the room and down the hallway. "This is getting ridiculous. I live on the campus and I'm the one late." As you turned a corner, students began to notice you as they were headed to their classes.
"Hello Mr. Winter." A young girl said in a shy tone.
"Hey marionette." you said as you dashed past her.
"Hey there Mr. Winter." Another young girl said with a bit more confidence.
"Morning to you Sage." you said as you once again dashed by that girl.
"Hello Mr. Winter." Another girl said with a slightly more seductive tone which obviously you didn't really know how to respond to.
You dashed by her with a wave and continued down the maze of hallways to your classroom. "There it is." As you bolted into the room, you quickly placed your bag down and looked up at the class which, might I add, is comprised mostly of girls, not a coincidence I assure you. "Morning class."
"Morning Mr. Winter." almost every girl said with a more than comfortable tone.
"You guys ready to learn some physics today? By the way, just between us, I had a long night. I was always here cool?"
Every one of them either gave a thumbs up or a wink. "I'm sorry Discord sir but he's in the middle of a very important lecture." A female's voice trailed in from down the hallway.
"I'm quite sure that when I came into check a moment ago, he was not present Ms. Pommel."
You winked at the class and began to quickly write something on the smart board as Discord rushed into the classroom with Coco cowering behind him. "Mr. Winter fall?"
"Uh...yes sir."
"Where have you been?"
"Here sir."
"On time?"
"Of course sir. I'm not that much of a slacker."
"So you mean to tell me that If I go check the cameras, I will see you in the classroom at exactly 6:00 AM."
You got silent and slowly peered at the ceiling camera. "Dammit, I forgot they installed those."
"In my office...now."
"Yes sir. Can you take my class Coco?"
"Um...of course....good luck."
"I'll need it, thanks.
Discord tapped his pen quite heavily atop the desk as you sat opposite of him, a big nervous smile on your face. "Are you aware that class started at 6:00 AM Mr. Winter."
"Y-yes sir."
"And are you aware of consequences of students being late for class?"
"Uh...yes sir but...."
"Please explain to me the program."
"The program sir?"
"The student teacher program here at Canterlot University please."
"Um ok....well the student teacher program is here to aid young teachers in a start to a real teaching position."
"And what are the requirements for such a program."
"The student teacher must abide by the same set of rules that students must."
"Can you name them and the reason for them."
"The student teacher must, as well as the students, show up to class on time and be both productive and respectful within the workplace whenever necessary. The completion of these two major rules will be viewed as marks and work towards earning one the teaching job they deserve."
"Good, it seems you haven't forgotten what it takes to be in the student teacher program. I'm beginning to see however that your understanding of the rules is wavering."
"Sorry sir."
"I don't need a sorry young man, I need an explanation. When you first joined this program last year, you were so optimistic about it, almost too perfect for one's good. But as of last week, you've been late to class every single day. What's going on Winter?"
"I'd rather not say sir."
"You can trust me Winter. I'm not like some of these immature students who would rather gossip than help. I must make sure my staff stays as productive as possible."
"Well...."
"Come on Winter. I won't bite."
"Well sir, it's a bit personal. I've been having...dreams."
"Dreams? Anything frightening?"
"Nothing like that actually. It's more confusing than anything as I wake up in the middle of the night not knowing exactly what it means."
"May I ask details?"
"I'm not sure myself. All I know is it involves a rather familiar female voice belonging to a shadow. We seem to be talking about an event that I have no knowledge that apparently led her to confront me about it."
"And this causing you to lose sleep."
"Yes sir."
"I'll tell you what. Keep trying to understand it and if it doesn't fix itself by next week, than come see me again. As for your late mornings, I will place another in your place until your arrival."
"Thank you sir."
"Return to class then, I'm sure those girls miss you already."
"I'd rather they didn't."
"Hahaha, It can't be helped unfortunately."
Quickly you found yourself walking down the hall back to class. Upon opening the door, Coco smiled at you as well as the other students. "Welcome back Mr. Winter. Discord didn't hurt you did he?"
"No Coco, I'm fine. Still scared to hell but fine."
"I'm glad to hear that. I shall take my leave then."
"Thank you for taking care of them."
"My pleasure. Although...I think they missed you.... a little too much."
"I expected that, trust me."
You escorted Coco out with a wave and turned back to face the onslaught of bedroom eyes staring you down. "Welcome back Mr. Winter." they all said seductively and simultaneously.
"Uh....glad to be back class."
Like a hurricane, one girl with a pale complexion and blond shoulder length hair with white highlights, the prettiest of the group and the most bitchy too, jumped and assaulted your arm with a tight hug. "Oh Mr. Winter, Discord din't inflict injury upon you did he?"
"Um..no he didn't. And even if he did," you said as you removed her from your arm. "I doubt you would be able to do anything without getting kicked out. Now sit down Lily."
She walked back to her seat slowly but a smile hung upon her face as if she'd won some kind of contest. Not even seconds after she sat down, everyone back to admire her as if she actually had won something. With a small sigh you leaned against the wall and tried to figure out how it came to this. As far as you can remember, it's always been like this, the majority of the nonsense varied mainly between Crystal Prep and Canterlot high. Back in Crystal Prep, the rule was this, the men who had both looks and smarts were admired and adored like perfection itself. You just so happen to be blessed with the curse of girls falling head over heels for you which just so happen to annoy you both your freshman and softmore year. After a hard argument, your parents were kind enough to switch you over to Canterlot high which you expected to have less of a bias towards this sort of thing. You were wrong of course. Those last two years were absolute hell for you. Try studying when you got a girl attached to you arm every ten seconds. It's the same issue at Canterlot University too with girls latching on like leeches and refusing to let go until they're satisfied. Despite being a student teacher, you're about the age of some of these students and boy do they play the game of beauty to perfection. Unfortunately for them, you're not looking to start a harem any time soon. Some of them just want popularity, others are looking money, and a select few such as Lily, the girl who ran up to apparently comfort you, are looking to take you somewhere the cameras can't see and milk you dry.
".... r. Winter?"
You were never interested in any of them. There was really only one girl that ever caught your eye."
"Mr. Winter?!"
"I didn't do it Discord Sir!" you instinctively screamed out.
Everyone looked at you with slight confusion before letting out a slight chuckle. "Dean isn't here teach. Just wondering about the lesson for today?"
Oh thank god for Amanda, the only girl who isn't trying to seduce me. "Thank you for reminding me Ms. O'Neill." She gave a nonchalant thumbs up allowing me to finally continue the lesson. An hour passed and the kids finally found themselves able to leave as the bell rang. "Remember to study people. I want to see actual studying this time too, not just following me around campus and taking pictures, Lily." you said directing your stare at her.
She giggled before getting up and exiting the room alongside her classmates. As the students piled out, Coco quickly made her way in. "Class finished for today Mr. Winter?"
"I'm just glad I got boys in the rest of the classes instead of all girls."
"I'm sure haha. Mr. Discord has asked me to inform you of an incoming student teacher."
"Why would I need to be informed?"
"As far as I'm concerned, you are head teacher in your department of physics."
"Cool, I didn't know that."
"It's neat indeed. Anyway, the newcomer has just started the program and will be teaching the same subject just next door."
"Wait really? Next door? That is so unfair that the new teacher gets the bigger classroom."
"I believe you said that you would be ok with the smallest room on campus as long as you get to be around these amazing kids correct?"
"That was when I wasn't getting assaulted by girls every ten seconds. Least in there, there's room to run."
"Discord has officially asked you to keep an eye on her until she gets settled in. Also, thank to a few setbacks, teachers and student teachers alike will be given a few extra hours to get everything in order before the students are set to arrive at their seats at 8:30 Tomorrow. Should be enough time to see her settled in I suppose."
"Just hope she won't come on to me like all the other girls I've met so far."
"That would be quite a sight wouldn't it?" she said as she began giggling under her breath.
"You know what, you can stop that."
"Whatever do you mean?"
"I'm not playing thi....you know what bye Coco." you said you began to gently push her back outside.
"Oh you must understand, I was just having a little fun."
"Thanks for the update, you can leave now."
"Alright fine. But just know, if she comes on to you, I will be there...with a camera."
"Pile on the creepy why don't you." Finally she took her leave as kids began to appear heading for your classroom. "Good, normal people for once." The rest of the classes went surprisingly well, no love comments, no seductive hints, just good old teaching. Finally, the 5:00 bell ran for the last class of the day making everyone, even you, let out a sigh of relief. You packed your bag and waited for everyone else to exit the room before shutting it and locking it. You sought to return to your room as soon as possible, the fatigue from standing on your feet lecturing all day really digging its way in. After what seemed like an eternity, you finally arrived at your room, slipping the keys into the hole and unlocking the door. You dropped your bag onto the nearest chair and proceeded to your room where your bed was just calling your name. The door was closed however, not the way you had left it before you left it. You began to open as if nothing until small pants drew your hand to a halt. You placed your ear to the door to hear nothing but soft moans coming from the other side. What the hell is going on in there? Let me try something.
You proceeded back to the front door and chose to trick whoever was inside. You opened the door quietly and slammed it as hard as you could shut. After the sound died down, you continued to listen only to hear the moaning persists. Whoever this is really doesn't care? You finally made the decision to just go confront the person. You slowly opened the door nonchalantly as if you were unaware of the person's presence until a slight giggle caught your attention. "Oh my Mr. Winter. How rude to interrupt a woman at such a vulgar time."
You were shocked, stunned, so much as to say frozen as there sit Lily sprawled out on the bed, her clothes discarded halfway across the room, and her fingers playfully teasing her dripping sex as she held a picture of none other than you at eye level. "Lily....what the hell are you doing in my room?"
"Your room. I was sure I was this was my dwelling."
"Lily, you know for a fact that teachers have separate rooms now answer the question."
"I thought it was quite obvious."
"Do you expect this to go the way you hope?"
"Indeed."
"Lily I'm going to say this once. Put some clothes on and get out before I escort you out."
"I reserve the right to decline such an offer correct?"
"Lily, I'm serious."
"What ever is the matter Mr. Winter? Afraid to lose the employment that you so desperately treasure?"
"What are getting at?"
"It just seems that it would be quite the nuisance for you if everyone were to hear about about this encounter, wouldn't you agree."
You growled at that comment, blackmailing at it's worst. "What do you want huh? An A+ on every assignment?"
She giggled at such a comment. "Nothing of that sort."
"Then what."
"I'm sure you can assemble the pieces Mr. Winter."
"You're kidding right?"
"Quite the opposite actually. I'll try to put this in simplest terms so you can comprehend. I've admired you from afar for far too long. Before that pod of lowly women could sink their fangs into you, a move had to be made. I wish you to take me. Right here....Right now."
"Yea right. As if i'd break the one rule on my contract that would most likely get me fired."
"I provided you with a position in this matter which is quite clear. Either take the prize in front of you or find yourself...hehe, unemployed."
You didn't know what to do as you stood frozen in place. If you complied, you would be under her thumb as long as she wants you to. If you didn't, you would have a hell of a time explaining it to Discord. The crime isn't the age factor as you sit one year older than her but instead is the relationship between the student and the teacher that is forbidden especially sexual relations. You had no choice but to give in. You could say no and give in to the blackmail but then where would you be. Canterlot high's student teacher program was the best out of the 5 schools around the country testing it. If you lost it here, you'd probably never get a good teaching position anytime soon. You sighed before taking a step forward. "Shit...."
"Good. Now," she said as spread her sex for you to see. "Do what you would to your future wife."
"Don't think for even one second that I would ever call you my wife, you're a disgrace. Least you could do was just ask me out."
"I'm aware of that. I'm also aware of the fact that you would've happily declined. I had to ensure my grasp on you. Enough talk, remove your clothes and show me why I adore you so much." As you began your forced work, you couldn't help but think of the consequences of your actions, the things that she could do to you just by holding this one event over your head. And this kids, is why I stay away from the popular girls. It felt like a blur had just went by, daylight pooled within the room as you slowly opened your eyes. As you came to, the arms latched around your torso caused you to mentally curse your brain. Her body was warm and her physique was outstanding, but inside, you could tell her heart was black as the darkness within her. What the fuck did I just do?
This is one morning you wished you definitely didn't have to wake up early for. After promptly kicking the slut out of your room, you found yourself slowly closing and sinking down the front door. You sighed at the absolute disgust you just experienced as the night repeated in your head. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck." you silently yelled. "Not only am I on the ropes for this by the oh so glamorous top bitch of the school.....I think I fucking enjoyed it." After another sigh you found yourself back to your feet. "Guess I'll get ready for work then. No use in worrying about it now." You lazily threw on your clothes still feeling fatigue from last night before exiting the room. Luckily, no students meant you were safe to wander the halls without the usual harassment from the casual greetings to the seductive suggestions. You walked slowly, almost inert, constantly thinking to yourself that you were basically screwed. There's no telling what this girl could do. I barely know her yet there she was on my bed like a fucking hound ready to pounce. Why didn't I just kick her out? I'm sure I would've gotten somebody on my side.
"Oh!"
It was then that you realized your mistake of bumping into someone. "Oh sorry Coco."
"You're fine Mr. Winter. You seemed lost in thought though, something on your mind?"
Upon hearing this question, you paused for a moment. Should I tell her? Maybe she'll understand what happened. Of course she is a bit of klutz when it comes to keeping secrets. "No, nothing at all. I was just thinking about what what I needed to get done today before the kids show up."
"Are you sure? You seem quite distressed?"
"Trust me, I'm fine."
"If you say so."
Coco made her way past you allowing you to continue to your classroom. Maybe I should've told her. She might be the only person who'll believe me. Damn, too late now. Five minutes later, you found yourself at your room ready to unlock the door. Upon doing so, you heard a slight gasp the next room over followed by a sad and quiet, "Oh man." After setting your bag down, you walked over to the adjacent classroom, peeking your head in just a little to see a young girl within picking up some papers from the floor. "Great now I have to organize them again."
"Excuse me but are you ok?"
"I'm fine thank you, just dropped some papers is all."
"Do you need some help with that?"
"It would be appreciated yes."
As you entered the room, you couldn't help but admire her from behind whoever she was. You were never one to observe a woman's assets, kind of rude in your opinion but this was kind of unavoidable as she was sitting flat on her butt with her legs out at both her sides. Not much was shown up top as she was wearing a very concealing sweater but down below was magic. She was wearing a pair of capris where the perfect amount of her butt was filled out allowing even a small part of her lips to show through. Having enough of being a creeper, you made your way to her and began picking up the papers along side her. You never took the chance to look at her directly but focused on the papers at ground level."So you must be the new student teacher I presume?"
"That would be me."
"My name's Winter Fall, I'll be the teacher showing you the ropes the next couple of weeks.
"I'm Moondancer, very nice to meet you Mr. Winter Fall."
Moondancer? Where in the world have I heard that name before. You finished picking up her papers, as did she, before you handed them to her. Almost simultaneously, your eyes met with instant curiosity. Wait a minute, I know the beautiful lavender eyes from somewhere. Almost immediately she jumped to hug you. Her arms latched around your neck, you spun her around before embracing. "Oh my god Winter, I thought I'd never see you again!"
"Moondancer?! It's really you!"
And so reunites the destined lovers of legend is what you'd like to say. Kinda like how it is here, girls were all over you left and right back in Crystal prep because of your almost perfect good looks and impossible intelligence. After arriving at Canterlot High for your last two years, you came across a young girl....named Moondancer.
2 weeks after enrollment
"Damn, knew I should've asked for that tour of the school. 2 weeks in and I still don't know where the musical arts room is." You frantically searched for the room that said something related to music on the door hoping that it would be in plain sight. "How do you people find your way around this school? Maybe I should go ask the off.....huh?"
You immediately turned your attention to focus on the voice coming from seemingly nowhere. Almost like a magnet, you were drawn to seek out the voice until you ended up at a empty classroom. Empty, all except for a girl furiously studying it seemed. "And If I move that there, I should be able to remove this from the equation allowing the rest to achieve the required amoun.....No no no, that's wrong too dammit."
"Excuse me?"
"Maybe If I change this an..."
"Um...Excuse me?"
She jumped at your greeting throwing her glasses off in a blur. "Oh not again."
"Here let me get those for you." you offered. Upon picking up her discarded glasses, you did your best to clean them before returning them to her eyes. "There you go."
As soon as your eyes met, an immediate blush came across her face. "Um..thanks."
"No problem." A long awkward silence went across you two as the world seemed to slow with every passing moment.
"So you need something? I've never seen you around before so I'll assume you're the new guy?"
"Yep, name's Winter Fall."
"Interesting name indeed. Well I got a lot of work to do so if you could leave."
"Well that's one way to greet somebody."
"Look I just need to get to work ok."
"Why so much hostility?"
"None of your business ok!"
"Ok ok, I can tell when i'm not wanted." you said as began to exit the room.
"Um..wait please. I'm sorry about that, i've just been dealing with alot today."
"Trust me, everyone has a bad day here and there. What you need is someone to talk to and a little bit of hakuna matata."
"Oh hey I love that movie...I don't know though...we literally just met."
"Hey I'm a naturally nice guy. Least you can do is give me a name."
"It's.......Moondancer."
"Moondancer huh? That's a very beautiful name."
She blushed like a fire hydrant as she adjusted her glasses. "N-noted......."
"So.....something on your mind?"
"I was gonna ask why you're here?"
"Well, I was trying to find the music room in the confusing school when it sounded like you were having some trouble."
"Oh...sorry about that. I was studying and I kind of zone out when I study which usually includes a increase in volume."
"Sounded like you were going over some...i'm gonna take a wild guess and say math."
"Exactly, I was taking a shot at my math homework early but something about this equation just doesn't add up. The more I think about it, the more frustrated it makes me!"
"Hey calm down a little, no need to get worked up. Maybe I can help."
"Knock yourself out."
You looked over the problem, basic stuff it seemed except for the scribbles that she made all over it. "See here's your issue, you messed up early in the problem."
"Wait really?"
"You got the wrong number before trying to solve for x. Erase all this and instead...." You promptly instructed her to the right number allowing her solve the rest of the equation. "And there you go."
"Are you kidding me? I've been throwing my head against that equation for like an hour. You must be a math wiz."
"Well no actually. I excel in history and science more than anything."
"We are quite alike in that field, I mean I never really understood math but if I want to maintain my GPA, I gotta know it.
"Seriously, I never understood the whole x and y thing. Like if it's my x then y am I looking for it."
She let out a hearty giggle as she smiled only slightly. "That...was kind of funny.
"There's a smile. See what i mean, hakuna matata."
"You're so cheesy."
"It's my charm I know. Although I hope math doesn't make you this angry all the time."
"N-no."
"You wanna talk about it?"
"I don't know."
"Hey I got morals, I'm not gonna pry."
"Alright fine."
"If you don't....Wait what?"
"I'll talk."
"But I didn't even.......if you really don't.....You know what, just go ahead."
"I was harassed only slightly by some girls in the school, nothing serious."
"Harassed?"
"Yea, they say call me funny things like nerd hair, and moonbrain, those jokesters."
"Sounds more like bullying to me. Why haven't you reported this?"
She sighed before bringing her legs to the fetal position. "What's the point? It's not like I can report every single person that does it. Then majority of the entire school would be in trouble."
"So that stereotype exist here too."
"What stereotype?"
"Well, back in Crystal Prep, guys who got the looks and the smarts were praised like gods. Girls on the other hand, weren't praised like goddesses for having looks and smarts. Instead they were almost always treated like trash for being nerds when their looks could kill. It's like being a female in the school, both smart and good looking, was a crime. Sad to see it happens here as well." You glanced back at her only to see her cheeks peachy red. "Something wrong?"
"It's...just...um." she said before readjusting her glasses. "You put alot emphasis on looking good and being smart there."
"Well yea, women don't get enough credit around here, and well....you are cute." She was blushing wildly at this point, the way she continously adjusted her glasses remained the cutest part of this situation. Just then the bell for class rang making you jump up. "Holy crap i'm late. I gotta go but can I see you later?"
"Wait a second Winter." Before you could leave she slipped a piece of paper into your hand. "Text me at lunch ok?"
"Got it."
"Oh and the music room, just passed the lunch room, 2nd hallway."
"Why didn't I check there? Anyway thanks."
And that's where things romantically ended for both of you. You texted back and you guys had your fair share of moments but the question of relationship never came about, at least, not until graduation. You felt the urge to state your feelings for her but before you could do so, she let out that she would be attending college....out of state. You were devastated, downright depressed at the fact as she left for this out of state college right after graduation. Unlike most personalities however, you accepted that she moved on, the only girl you ever truly liked. You accepted your own path to college within the city and after 4 years, you joined the student teacher program where you spent the 5th getting harassed by various groups of girls. After all the sexual bullcrap you've received over the past year including Lily's sexual attempt last night, the only girl you ever wanted to be with is in your arms.
"I thought you were out of state for good Moon."
"Well at first I was, then I heard about this program and thought it might be a good career path."
"Well I assumed you'd be off becoming the smartest scientist in the world or something in that category."
"While that was a childhood dream, I had to be a bit more realistic with my career. Teaching seemed like the most likely beneficial....and...well....I really missed all my friends here."
"And boy did we miss you. I assume you're the new physics teacher?"
"Yep, just started today. I've specially prepared a few lessons for....."
"Shhhhh Moon." you said as you placed a finger across her lips. "Organization will not save you here."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm giving you your first tip of the day. It's best to follow your own conscience when it comes to these students. Organization will only slow you down if you rely on it."
"R-really? What am I going to do? Organization is my thing."
"Memorize the lesson?"
"But there's so much to memorize, I don't know if I can."
"Hehe."
"Why are you laughing?"
"You are so easy to mess with."
"What?"
"You can organize a little bit, it helps actually."
Just then, you felt a playful punch to your arm. "You jerk."
"The best. Here let me help you get set up."
"Thank you. So how you been?"
"Fine most of the time except for the constant prettyboy issues."
"Hehe, what an interesting development. When I called a friend here about the student teacher program, she repeatedly mentioned how there was this student teacher who was absolute man candy in her eyes."
"Who could've said that I wonder."
"Her name was Coco Pommel."
"Of course it was."
"Why do you know her?"
"Know her? She was the first person to hit on me when I joined up. Since then we've become really close friends."
"The way she described you though was thoroughly......inappropriate."
"She was first in that line."
"Hahaha, indeed she was. I meant however, after graduation."
"After? Well, I guess I did the same as you, went to 4 years of college right after. I've been here since pretty much the beginning of last year. What happened to you after college?"
"I.....experimented with a few different careers."
"Like?"
"Well first I was a doctor."
"How'd that go?"
"Let's just say the staff won't allow me near a stethoscope to this day."
"Oh....What else?"
"Next was a librarian."
"Sounds right up your alley."
"I got fired for being too organized."
"Since when does being too organized get you fired."
"Well first, I spent over four hours making sure the entire library was in order.....then things happened.
"Things?"
"Some kids messed up the organization of the books as a joke...I didn't...take it that way."
"Oh boy."
"I snapped quite frankly......things were said.....people were hurt."
"Now I feel bad for them."
"You're right to take their side. Every other career choice was like that as well, my obsession with organization and logic got me in trouble....alot. So I looked to the one thing where my organization could possibly do some good, teaching."
"Hope you'll be a good teacher."
"Hope?"
"Well students like a friendly face to teach. I always imagined you as very strict."
"S-strict? Not possible."
"Very possible. The last thing you'd want is for students to be having fun when work is the main priority. I've seen you study and you can get pretty serious about it."
"You may deem it serious, I consider it focused above all else."
"Focused sure." you said in a sarcastic tone. "Like that one time I caught you studying at lunch and when I tried to talk to you, you literally growled at me."
"I was having a bad day." You looked at her with an annoyed expression as she retreated behind her sleeves in embarrassment. "Ok fine, I do take it a bit seriously. That's only because I knowledge is my sole reason for living and you know it."
"Well yes we are both indeed insanely smart but I wouldn't consider it the sole reason of my life."
"Then what would that be."
"I guess it would be making people happy."'
Suddenly a blush came to her face as she nervously coughed. "So...any fun things happen in the last 5 years."
"Not that I can think of. I mean I had a few parties in college but nothing crazy."
"And I assume you had like 50 girlfriends during that time too."
"No actually, I may have experimented a little in college but the idea of a relationship never really came about." You did your best to hold a normal conversation knowing full well the encounter that occurred last night. You were eager to tell her, eager to have someone understand that you were basically a victim of rape, but reluctant to do so as she would most likely assume the exact opposite of what you wanted. "What about you? Someone had to admire that intellect."
"A few...turns out I was a bit too much for them though."
"I expected that, most of them can't dance with the moon if they can't outsmart her."
"Did you just use my name as a metaphor?"
"That doesn't upset you does it?"
"No, I kind of liked it actually."
"Yay, that's another win for me." you said as you let out chuckle.
"Another?"
"Yep, Now we're tied."
"I won more over you plenty of times."
"Last time I checked, we were had our equal share of wins."
"Oh really? Remember when you thought you knew the answer to that math question."
"Ok that was one time."
"Let's not forget when we bet on who could get a higher score in the pacer."
"I'll give you that one."
"Let's also not forget..."
"Alright fine, you got more than me ok."
She did a cute little dance even though it was to humiliate you. "Ha, I won this one."
"Haha, you're very immature, you know that?"
"It adds to my charm."
"Hey that's my line."
"Well i'm stealing it."
"Damn you for being so cute."
"I thank you for the compliment."
"I'm starving though. Wanna grab some breakfast?"
"Well, i still need to set up..." She was immediately interrupted by her growling stomach as you both smiled.
"I'm guess that's a yes?"
"Um....yes hehe."
After relocking your doors, you both made your way in the direction of the lunch room. Out of the corner of your eyes however, you swear you caught a small glance of blond hair around the corner next to your room. You were curious more than ever but assumed it was nothing, wanting nothing but to catch up with your former classmate.
