Not Breaking

Chapter # 2

Next day, Jenna was at school, sitting in the back, when a group of three girls came walking across her, the one who hates Jenna, and whom Jenna hates the most in the class. She rolled her eyes looking at them, then they sat beside her starting their gossiping. "Do you know about that new Biology sir? I heard that he is young and very cute." the first one said. "Isn't he the biologist sir, that one who is like an elephant?" The third girl said. "Yup he was. That's what I think he left that easily? And because of that, we will get a young and handsome sir.. Hmm.." The first one replied with a huge smile on her lips, waiting for her new biology teacher. "Yeah you are right, how did that happen? But, let's see how that new sir will be." The second girl said with a grin and they all agreed to wait and see.

Jenna rolled her eyes off while listening to their talk when Emma, her sweet chirpy classmate, came in front of her. "Hey Jenna." She greeted him with a smile on her face, but Jenna made a bored face, "What?" and said in an irritated tone. Her smile faded away, "Um, nothing, just like that." Emma shrugged and said in an innocent tone, then leaving Jenna alone, she went to greet her other classmates.

Soon, at break time and today's usual talks made Jenna very annoyed, so she was just passing time by walking here and there when she saw George from afar, He? Isn't he.. What is he doing here?- She thought, but Emma interrupted her. "Jenna! Can you listen for a minute?" She asked sweetly, "Ah yes? Now what?" Jenna said in an annoyed tone again.

"Um, can you help me? Actually-" Jenna cut her off already, "No. ask someone else." and walked away from there, making Emma frown. Soon in the class,their new biology teacher- George. Entered, wearing light brown coloured pants, and a grey shirt with buttons opened first two and sleeves rolled a little, his charming smile looked very attractive to every girl who was sitting there. Every girl’s jaw dropped when they set their eyes on George, they were all looking at him since he entered the class.

"Hello class, I’m your new biology teacher." He told them with his cute smile. Every girl was just staring at him, but Jenna was not looking interested at all, but then she thought, Wait, he is… she remembered his face clearly. Argh new teacher? The girls were smiling, and one asked him, "Sir! But are you not too young to teach…" George grinned and said, "Yes, that's why-" But then another girl asked, "Doesn't matter Sir! You can teach." She grinned so much, George cleared his throat, "Only for a short time." He said, everyone made a confused face and he continued,

"I'm your new bio teacher but only for a few months." He finished, telling them what instantly upset them, and there was Jenna, who was pleased at his sentence. Thank God! She thought to herself. "But Sir! Exactly how many months?" Another girl suddenly asked. "Umm, I guess two or three months." He smiled, telling her. That is too much! Jenna again thought to herself, irritatedly. George cleared his throat, "Alright, introduction is over, now let's start the class."

George told them, starting the class after making a lot of girls unhappy, but among them there was a girl who was still smiling from the start. From first glance, she doesn't care whether he was here for two or three months. It was opposite for her, it felt like ten years long to her so that she could stare as much as she wanted. Emma Petterson.

After class, when George walked out of the class, The Principal was standing in front of him, "Oh! There you are! I was just about to call you. Today was your first day, right? You should come to my office." He said to George, cheerfully, shrugging. "Yeah yeah, you go I'm coming." He replied to him and he nodded, walking away.

George and the principal of this school had known each other since George’s childhood. Georges was 22 and a half years old and was studying at medical university. George was living far from here in another city, so when he needed money for his medical university fees, he decided to teach this subject which he is so good at. When his uncle heard this, he told him to join his school, and that he would tell their biology teacher to quit for a few months, what he'd have to do is prove to be a good teacher and watch the situation for living around the school, and do his job for how many months he wanted to do. George came, and is living with his friend named Fred Carter, who also lives in this city, until his job is done here.

George went to the principal's office. The door was open, so he knocked. "Come, sit." He told him cheerily. Since he has known George for a very long time, they are like a family. George came and sat in front of him. "Ehm, how should I thank you? I haven't even got a degree yet," George said hesitantly, thankful but also embarrassed. "No need to thank me, okay? I have told you not to thank me, and if I have done a favour to you, so that is incomplete. I have given you a difficult class to handle George. You have to teach them, you are not here just because of me." He explained to him, grinning.

"Yeah, definitely, you don't have to worry about that, you know I'm good at teaching. And I don't think I have to work too hard," George said to him with determination. "That's good George, I have expected this from you and even now I do." He said with a grin, having all trust in him. George was happy to hear this, "So, you should be busy, I'll go." He said and was about to get up. But he said, "No, why so soon? Today's your first day, I will order something to eat, and sit back." He suggested, "Okay, sure." George said, sitting back. They had a little lunch together and talked for a while, before George went back to teach his class.

Next day at school, everything was the same as usual. Jenna sitting quietly in the corner, Emma went to her with her usual chirpy smile. "Jenna?" She called her a bit hesitantly, "Hmm?" Jenna replied in a bored tone. "Um… you know.." She trailed off, taking Jenna's attention, "What?" She asked. "Um.. those girls were talking about you.. um something-" One of the three girls cut her off, "You can speak, girl, we are not afraid of her." She said with a smirk at Jenna. Jenna got up glaring at that girl, "Yes? What were you saying? I should listen too!" Other girls also joined that girl, and Jenna being alone, it was them vs Jenna.

When George entered the class, he saw that Jenna and that girl were fighting terribly, grabbing each other's hair, while half the class were laughing and the other half were cheering them. George was displeased to see this type of act in his class. "What is happening here!?" He yelled at them and that girl moved back from Jenna, while the whole class stopped their noises, got quiet. "I thought this class behaved well, but I guess I was wrong. All this-" George scolded them, but Emma cut him off. "Sir.. please don't get mad, this will not happen again." She said apologetically. "No. Who started all this, should say this to me." George told Emma, but by looking at those who were fighting.

Jenna got back to her seat and that girl was also starting to go, but George said while pointing to them both, "Where are you two going? You, you, and you two too, come with me." George ended up pointing at the other two girls too. "Sir, we apologise, but please don't take us to the principal's office." That girl said. "I am not taking you there, I'm giving you a punishment. You three will be punished," George said angrily. Jenna smirked and George looked at her, "You will also get punished." Jenna looked at him acting innocent, "What? Me?" She said like she didnt do anything, pointing at herself, "Yeah, who else? Now come. You all take your bags and come with me."

George told them sternly and started to walk out of the class, taking them to the empty class near them. They all sat and looked at him, while Jenna just sat there with a frown. "I hope all four of you are aware of your punishment," George said to them coldly. "No." Said Jenna, not looking at him, George came in front of her and started telling her. "You have to write down a hundred times that you'll never do this again." He told her in a low tone. "And if-" Jenna tried to say, but George cut her off, taking a step back and straightening his back, "If anyone doesn't want to write, then for them there is another punishment as well." Again taking a step in front of her, leaning to her level, "Ten times getting hit by a ruler on your palm."

"This is an easy option instead of writing something a hundred times by sitting here." She said, irked, shrugging. "Really? You can reconsider it" he said amusingly, and shrugged. "What is left to think about? I'm not going to sit here." She said coldly. George then took a few steps back and again straightened his back, "You three, which punishment are you going to choose? Or should I call... Principa-"

"We are writing Sir, we’re writing, we will write." George was cut off by those girls who said quickly, panicking a little. He hummed, then looked at Jenna, "And you." Taking a large iron ruler in his hand, he went in front of her, gesturing to her to stand up. She got up, put her hand out, looking straight with no expression on her face, while George looked at her with a stunned expression, then lifted the ruler higher to hit it into her hand.
