I had gathered the list of little ones in my class, and was looking over all of the kids that had already arrived. Class didn't start for 10 minutes, but it seemed as though the rug where everyone sat was almost full. This year seemed like it was going to be a fun one. I had met all the parents as they dropped off the kids, and they all seem respectful, so that's good.

I was about to walk away from the door when it opened up again. In ran the cutest little girl with beautiful purple, blue, and pink hair. I was waiting for her parent, when a tall blonde, taller than me, covered in tattoos walked in. The little girl walked up to me, and looked up at me. I couldn't help but gasp at how beautiful her eyes were. I then looked back up at her father who came up right behind her.

At least I knew where the beautiful eyes came from. "Hi. Your Mr. Irwin correct?" His voice was so husky, and honestly sexy. I snapped out of my admiring, and nodded, reaching out my hand.

"Yes, or Ashton. And you are?"

"Luke," He looked down with a smile, "and this is Gem."

I squatted down, and reached my hand out again. "Gem, what a uniquely pretty name. Hi, I'm your teacher Mr. Irwin." She shook my hand, and blushed a little. She opened her mouth to respond but instead walked into my arms, hugging me. I heard her whisper, "my first friend at school." I hugged her back, and smiled as I stood back up. She was adorable.

"So, they get out at 1, correct?" He looked kind of nervous as he asked.

"That's correct." He let out a breath of relief, and squatted down in front of Gem. I probably should've walked away, but I stayed.

"Okay, sweets. How good is your day going to be?"

"The best!"

"That's right. Remember to be nice. Mr. Irwin is going to tell me what happens, and always say please and thank you. I'll be back to pick you up at 1, and then we'll go have dinner with uncle mike and maybe cal. How does that sound?"

"They can see my hair!"

"That's right. They'll love it. Now I gotta go. Have fun sweets, I love you."
He pulled her into a hug, and stood up spinning with her, "I love you too daddy." He put her back down, and she pulled back to give him a kiss. I couldn't help but internally cry at how cute this was. No other parent was like this.

"Okay, bye sweets." He waved at her, and caught her kiss she blew him. He looked back up at me, waved at me too, and I returned it. Gem turned her attention to me, and I held out my hand for her to grab. I led her over to the cubbies, and showed her the one that had her name on it.

"Okay Gem, so, this cubby is yours, you can put whatever you want in it, and only you can go in it."

"Okay Mr. Irwie." I smiled at how she said my name, and didn't bother correcting her. She took off her bag, but it in the cubby and smiled at me before going and sitting on the rug with everyone else.

"Okay class. Hands on your ears. Your nose. Your mouth. In your lap." After everyone was quiet, I grabbed my list for role. I started calling out everyone and was making it down.

"Gem Hemmings."

"I'm right here!"

"Okay, great." I looked up and noticed some boys talking to Gem, and Gem frowning. I didn't mention it, but I would probably hear of it later. After I got through everyone, I put down my list.
