_ChapterO1

`Normal POV_

The class fell silent the moment the doors slid open and a latina woman of no older than 25 stepped in. She had a sweet smile on her face, warm chocolate brown eyes and dark brown wavy hair that fell down her back in gentle curls.

Majority of the boys were staring at her shamelessly with hungry eyes, taking in her luscious body.

She was wearing a white blouse that clung to her body, showing the curve of her breasts and slim waist. On the bottom were women’s suit pants completed with heels that made her stand at around 5’6.

“You guys are class 12B right?” she asked.

There was a small chorus of ‘yeahs’ in the room while some barely managed to nod at her.

“Great, I’m your new english teacher. Mrs Clark just had her baby as most of you know so I’ll be taking over, my name’s Carmen Morales. And guys, don’t worry about calling me Ms Morales, it makes me feel old so just call me Carmen” she introduced herself, all smiles.

“So miss, how old are you?” a girl from the front row dared to ask after raising her hand,

“Or that works too” she laughed lightly.

“But I’m 23 to answer your question”

Carmen scanned the students sitting before her; a class of 37 would be more than enough for her. Less than half of them were male which meant less nonsense but at the same time it meant that there were more girls which was trouble.

They started to talk amongst themselves, some quietly, others not so when Carmen heard the words ‘latina’ and ‘hot ass’ and was betting the chances of the boys talking about her.

“Guys, turn it down a little”

“I’m not strict but neither am I easy so I would consider myself fair. I would like for my class to learn and actually do their work and have fun at the same time, but that means you have to cooperate with me too ok? And I’m sorry I don’t have the class list here today, so I’ll pass a piece of paper around and write your names down”

“Hey miss, you wanna go out with me sometime?” someone yelled from near the back.

The guys snickered, thinking it was funny while the girls giggled. Carmen noticed a girl in the back row who rolled her eyes, the seat next to her was empty, and in fact the whole back row was empty save for her.

“I think not…” she raised a brow.

“Ryan” he grinned.

“As much as I see you’re enjoying this Ryan, I’m sure that won’t be happening anytime soon. And you boys, don’t get any ideas, there will be none of that in this class” the 23 year old said.

The brunette let her eyes wonder over to the back where the girl was sitting, knees against the desk. She was asian with short messy hair and black framed glasses, tanned face, scowling.

Carmen smiled at her and the girl looked slightly surprised, forcing a smile on her face. The teacher left it at that as she began talking to the class again.

The shrill bell rang in their ears and the boys nearly flew out of their seat in a hurry to get out.

“Nice to meet ya miss” one grinned.

“Tell me when you change your mind” Ryan winked.

“Great body, where’d you get it from?” another chuckled.

Carmen shook her head, ignoring them as some of the nice girls walked past.

“See you tomorrow miss” they waved.

She smiled at them in return, dipping her head in a nod.

At least they weren’t bitchy.

The brunette noticed the girl from the back of the room walking over to her.

“You’re different” she said.

“I’m new” she corrected, laughing.

“But you’re different”

“I think I’ll take that as a compliment” Carmen smiled, neatly stacking her workbooks in place.

“Alex” she finally introduced yourself.

“So why do you sit all the way back there by yourself?” the 23 year old asked, pushing her own glasses further up her nose.

“The others think I’m not normal” was the reply.

“Just because you like girls?” the latina raised a brow.

Alex’s head snapped up in slight alarm but Carmen was only smiling,

“Its fine Alex, I don’t see you any differently”

There was a small smile on Alex’s face.

“Go now, or you’ll be late for lunch”
