Hidden Love

Chapter One ~ Transferred

                     POV ~ Mr. Blake

          As the bell rings I take a sip of my black coffee, standing up in front of my first period class to begin the lesson.   

"Good morning class, today we are continuing to read Romeo & Juliet. Open your books up to page 35 Act 1 Scene 5, " I say grabbing my book off my cluttered desk and begin to flip through the pages, the aroma of the old book begin to flood into my face. I ask for volunteers to portray the characters in the book but no one raises their hand.  Just as I'm about to get aggravated with my students a knock at the door grabs my attention.

          As I walk over to the door, I peer through the window and notice the principal outside with what appears to the be a student. I twist the doorknob and face the principal, then looking to the right of him and seeing the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. The sun coming in from the window reflects against her hazel eyes revealing specks of green. Her long black hair cascades down her chest towards her stomach as I notice it is ever so slightly curled. My attention is drawn away from her as the principal begins to talk to me.

"Good morning Mr. Blake, this is our new student Isabella Hernandez. She moved all the way from Florida to attend Wilson High School." As the principal spoke to me my gaze kept shifting over to Isabella causing me to lose focus. I'm brought out of my daze when the principal calls my name rather loudly. I turn my attention back to him and apologize, moving to introduce Isabella to my class.  Before I can continue with the introduction I'm rudely interrupted by one of the boys in the back of the class shouting, "Damn Mami you looking extra fine today!" 

          I start yelling at the student to be quiet and to be polite to his new classmate. Isabella smiles at me showing her gratitude. As the principal leaves I tell her to take a seat wherever she'd like. She sits three seats away from me to the far right.

 "In this scene the star-crossed lovers finally meet." I glance to my right and catch Isabella's gaze on me and when she realizes I caught her she rapidly shifts her eyes down to the book turning a light shade of pink. I smirk and continue with my lesson but my thoughts keep returning back to Isabella wondering why she blushed when I looked towards her.  As I realize I can't keep my thoughts straight i just tell the class to read on their own until the bell rings. 

          When the bell finally signals for dismissal, I notice out of the corner of my eye that Isabella is walking towards my desk. I look up to her meeting her gaze. I have a better look at her now up close and I am even more captivated by her beauty. "I'm not really sure what's going on in the book would it be possible for me to come up for lunch today?" she quietly asks. I smile at her saying, "I'd be glad to help you catch up to the other students. Please let me know, I'll help you in anyway you need."

          When she turns to walk out of my class I turn back to my computer starting  to complete my work for other classes. I smirk to myself as I think hmm a turkey sub isn't the only thing I'll be eating for lunch.
