Chapter Five
Michaels Point of view
All day classes of students have been coming and going. I’ve repeated myself so much, but this is the joy of being a teacher starting at a new school, on top of it being a new school year as well. I’m not stupid and im not deaf. There have been at least 3 girls in every class that I am teaching that have made some sort of comment about me.
Under normal circumstances, I’d be flattered. I’d never pursued any of them, They are students, and besides, I only want Ellie. Sure, she’s a ‘’student’’ but we connected on a much deeper level, plus I wasn’t her teacher when we met. I just thought our connection meant more to her, but how she’s been acting since I told her my secret makes it seem like we obviously dont...
Soon though, the lunch bell rang and I headed down to get some thing to eat. I couldn’t help but keep my eye out for her, I was going to see her every day (pretty much) for the next school year, I don’t know if that’s a good thing any more...
I gave up everything for Ellie, my job, my home, my friends... My pack.. and .. she rejected me. I must admit, My pride is a little damaged by that, but I wasn’t going to give up. I loved her and I know she loved me. I know she is dealing with a lot right now, and finding out the guy you were dating is a werewolf couldn’t have been easy for her.
I’m willing to wait, for as long as it takes until shes ready for me.
‘Michael, over here’. One of my fellow colleagues called me over to what I assumed was the teacher’s area, It was slightly raised up so we could see the rest of the grounds and to keep an eye on the students. I went over and sat down and one by one the other teachers introduced themselves to me. I hadn’t had the chance to meet them all yet, but the ones I had met seemed very nice and friendly.
‘So, Mike, tell us about yourself’.
‘Well, there isn’t much to tell, I moved here for personal reasons from Hawaii and so far, it seems like a nice place’. They shared a look.
‘You gave Hawaii for this place?’ I couldn’t help but smile. That was pretty much the reason I had whenever I told people about that’. I just nodded. ‘Well, I hope the kids aren’t complete t***s to you then’.
Hearing other teachers talk about the student’s like this wasn’t a shock, we’re all human. (Well, mostly). We carried on talking about random s**t, I chimed in with my own opinion every now and then, But I couldn’t help but look around, taking in everything as I ate my lunch, and then, I found her.
She was staring at me, but as soon as I locked gazes with her, she turned away quickily.
I looked away too, not wanting to draw any attention to myself and carried on eating, not even listening to whatever it was that the others were talking about.
I should have NEVER told Ellie about my secret. She can’t even stand to be around me any more, I hated lying to her to keeping it from her, but at the same time.. I’ve lost her now..
I could hear some shouting and commotion and looked over, seeing Ellie looking rather upset. She mumbled something and sat back down again. None of the other teachers seemed bothered by her outburst.
I wanted to ask them about Ellie, find out what she’s like t school, is she good, is she naughty, is she smart.. What am I saying, of course, shes bloody smart! When I looked up again, I saw her stand up and run off, She looked like she was crying.
Oh no. What’s happened?
Again, the others still didn’t seem to care. Wow, Amazing teachers these bunch. I quickily finished my last piece of sandwich and got up, made a random excuse and left.
I needed to find Ellie and make sure she was ok!
