Room 756 of St. Stevens Boarding School

Jay Green

I walked through the hallways of the school, near-empty because everyone was in class already. I peered at my reflection in the reflective window of the administrative offices and deliberately skewed my tie and untucked my shirt. I was trying to see if that hot secretary was in the office when something large bounced off me.

A guy, looking lost. He was kind of smallish, and I was suprised he hadn't just fallen over from walking into me. I picked him up and brushed him off. "Hey, sup, new here?" I asked. He replied in the affirmative. I saw he was holding a piece of paper so I took it from him, examining it. "You got English with me. I'm Jay, by the way, Jay Green." He introduced himself as Joey Kennedy.

"Let's go to class, yeah." I said, leading the way. We got to the class late and slipped into seats at the back.

It was a new teacher. He was taking attendance, and noticed us coming in late. "And your names are...?" he trailed off pointedly, leaving us to answer the question. He looked none too happy that we were late.

"Jay Green." I replied, adding with a sardonic smile and big hand gestures, "And I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience of my tardiness to your entirely too-boring classroom and for any interruption of your undoubtedly long-winded introduction speech. And your name is...?"

He didn't reply, just turned to Joey, who introduced himself as well. I muttered under my breath, "Dumbass..." at the teacher. I saw that on the board was written something, half of which was hidden by the teacher's head. It read: MR. DA.... I went along with that, saying louder, "Hey Mr. Dumbass, or DA for short, what're we learning this time around? Another long-dead guy who wrote some crap?" Joey, beside me, laughed at that.

He answered frankly, "Yes. And it's Mr. Davis. The two of you, stay after class and see me please."

I could see he was trying to keep his cool, which I was having fun provoking. "Yeah whatever, dumbass." I replied, slouching down in my seat.

Joey Kennedy

I had already found my dorm and settled my belongings in the small space provided, too small, too many guys too many rules. I already disliked the place and with any luck i would be able to somhow talk my folks into letting me return to my regular school after putting in one semester.

Monday morning i was wandering the halls, lost, i had absolutely no idea where i was going and i hadn't met anyone yet that i liked enough to talk to.
I glanced at my watch just as the bell sounded signalling the beginning of classes. Fuck, i was already late and still i didn't know which direction to head in.

I walked down the quiet hallway, looking at the numbers on the classroom doors and ran smack into someone. I looked up, way up it seemed and and saw a big guy kinda glaring down at me..
"shit, er sorry man, look im new, im lost and im late, think you can help me out?"

The guy brushed off his shirt, intoduced himself as Jay Green and grabbed my schedule. He told me he had the same class, patted my cheek and told me to follow him, across campus.
I didn't take too kindly to him patting my cheek but then again i had to find where te hell i was going and he was awfully big. I followed him asking him about late penalties and other such things.
He told me not to worry seeing as i was new and it was only the first day.

The door to the clasroom was open when we arrived and the teacher was taking attendance. I groaned inwardly and tried to follow Jay quickly to a couple of seats close to the exit without being seen, no such luck, he immediately spotted us and confronted us, asking our names.
"Im Joey Sir, Joey Kennedy", i offered.
Jay then made some smartass comments to the teacher which resulted in the both of us having to see him after class.

Jay continued to be somewhat disruptive throughout the class, making me laugh and snicker.
When the class ended i jumped up hoping to escape having to see the teacher but as soon as i left my seat i was told to sit right back down..now!

"For fuck's sake, i need this like i need a hole in the head", i said none too quietly.

Rick Davis- English

I saw right from the start that this would be a very challenging teaching position. However, I also knew I had one thing in my pocket that none of the boys knew about. I was just like they were at that age, I knew what I thought I wanted and I knew there was no adult that could help me get it. I also knew the type of person that finally got my attention and turned me around.

I let them have their little fun during class. They wanted to think they ran the classroom. Let them think what they wanted the first day. I had all semester to show the two of them and all the other classmates who was in charge. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Greene may never realize it but the others will.

I reprimanded the two of them several times during class, allowing them to think I was useless in controlling the class. Mr. Greene seemed to be the instigator, Mr. Kennedy the follower. I made sure they both stayed after class to see me.

They both reluctantly moved up to my desk after the others had left. I spoke to them as if I was their age, hell I wasn’t that much older. I let them know that while they might think their antics are cute, they will live to regret them. I told them, it might not be obvious to them now, but later in life they will realize. I let them know there were two options here. One, they help me teach this class, help them make it interesting, or two, they could fight me, be disruptive in class, and there would be hell to pay for it.

I knew my speech had little impact on either of them. No, it would take time, take a few showings of how bad it could get for them before they realized I was right.

Tessa

*She walked into her class room with the grace of a lioness and an air about her that said she was just as lethal. Clad in black dress slacks and blouse appearing as the students would expect a female teacher at their precious school to look. She didn't need to dress intimidating just yet she would try the "Nice" approach for now but like a viper she could and would turn if she had to. Awaiting her first Ancient studies class to arrive She had but one thing written on the main board...

Sex the Lure of Death and War

*She stood with her back to the door looking out over the grounds from teh window in the classroom. Her face emotionless she would see their reaction to the topic on the board and guage what approach was required to deal with civillians*

Taylor was in her class room promtly at 6:45. She was dressed in a calf length, halter top crimson dress. Which had a matching jacket to go over it. The principal told her that as long as she kept her jacket on she would be fine. But to dress a little more conservative from now on.

After talking with the principal and finding out what was to be expected of her. She went to her class room to prepare for her students her first class would not start until 8:00 that morning. She knew that she would be excepting the honor students at that time. And she was pleased with that she wanted to have a challeging first period.

Once she had all of her supplies taken care of she went around her class room trying to figure out what would be a good way to spruce the place up a bit. She knew that is was all boys so it couldn't be anything girly but she wasn't even in to that stuff. She knew what the boys probably wanted to see was a playboy calender on the walls and she knew that that would not be allowed.

At 8 exactly her first class filed in. And as expected it was all of the brainy boys in the school and she like that. She started off by taking roll. Once she knew who all of her students were she started class. She asked them what is was that they all had been working on in the past, if they were new to the program and what it was that they expected to learn from this class.

Once all of her questions had been answer she started her class. It went by so fast that it had not seemed like it had been an hour already. When the bell rung she about jumped out of her skin. She dismissed her class and told them she could not wait to see them tomorrow.

Her second class was just now filing in and she knew that she was to have 20 students in this class but all she had was 19. After she took roll she knew that the student that was missing was a Mister Jay Green. Well once he finally arrived she would keep him after class she would not deal with tardiness. Not now and not ever.

Jay Green

"Yeah yeah, whatever.." I shrugged off the english teacher's lecture. "You done? I got a class to get to." That much was true, but how soon I planned to get to my next class was something else.

With a few last comments, he let us out. I handed Joey a map of the school that i'd drawn out on part of the paper I borrowed from him. "See ya 'round! Don't get too lost.." I said, heading off in the direction of the gym to have a quick smoke.

I decided to hang out there a bit longer, just to burn time, but the gym teacher walked by, apparently having a spare class, and spotted me in the shadows of the doorway. "Green! What are you doing here? Get over to class, or you'll have an appointment with the principal tomorrow morning!" he boomed. "Get rid of that cigarette if you want to stay on the track team too."

When I didn't move to obey, he began to walk towards me. He was bigger than I was, one of the few teachers I rarely messed with. I sighed at having my self-imposed break interrupted. "Alright Coach, I'm going..." I threw the butt on the ground and stubbed it out with my foot before brushing past him angrily and getting on my way to class.

I slunk in late to my math class where the rest of the class was jotting down notes from the blackboard. Yet another new teacher. Just my luck, I muttered to myself, Looks like all the ancients are dying off, so we're getting fresh blood into the education system. The last two rows of the classroom were mostly empty, all the keeners sitting up front and attentive to the chick's every word.

I sank into one of the empty seats at the last row, next to another guy and nudged him hard. Automatically, he handed me a spare pencil and paper, whispering "Took you long enough to get here.." I shrugged and halfheartedly began doodling on the page, drawing what I imagined the teacher looked like if she weren't wearing so many clothes. I'd get the class notes from someone else later on, likely, it didn't matter much to me.

Madeline Harvey - History Teacher - British

I ran through the large doors and instantly got lost. "Bloody hell!" I whisper to myself as I adjust my glasses then drop my folder of papers! "Shit!"
Boys laugh as they make their way past me and see me struggling and swearing. Or are they laughing at my accent? What ever it was this was not a good first impression for my first day! I was running late, and although I didn't have my first class until afternoon, I wanted to become familiar with the school and teachers.

"Ummm, young man?" I ask one of the boys near a locker, "can you tell me where the History staff room is?"

"You new?" he asks with a cheeky look on his face.

"Ummm, yes. I'm from England" Arugh, shut up you dumb tart! The kid doesn't want to know where you were born!

The boy smiles and points up the flight of stairs, "Up and go right. The staff room is at the end of the hallway"

I smile, "thank you".

I pull myself together and walk up the stairs and head to the staff room. I reach the staff bathroom where I quickly duck in. My heart was beating and I'd be fibbing if I didn't say I was a tad nervous. I put down my folder and handbag and splash some water on my face. "Come on... sort yourself out Madeline. You've done this before. No need to be nervous!"

I push back a few odd strands of dark hair that have fallen out of my bun, squeeze my cheeks, pick up my things and exit. Big breath, and I make my way to the staff room. I pass classes already in progress. Familiar sounds put me more at ease.

I get to the staff room but it is empty. "Shit!" I murmour. I walk in, put my stuff down and look around. Nice staff room. Leather chairs and books. A lovely table in the centre and the smell of history! Ah, I was home. I smile as I look around the text books and make myself familiar with this room. I'm going to be in it alot.

Tom Heller

I had a free period, so I decided to spend it going through my locker, taking out some books and a few items to use in pranks. As I was making sure I had everything I needed for a short time, a disheveled looking professor started asking me questions, and I was more than happy to help out, pointing her in the direction of the staff room. As she left, I watched her leave and shrugged.

"She's still new, so I'll wait a few days before I really start messing around with her head. After all, I don't want to give her a bad impression of this school right away. That's what the rest of the semester is for."

I shut my locker and closed my bag, smiling at the contents of it. Whistling, I made my way down the hallway, knowing that I couldn't get in trouble right now, since technically this was a free period for me. I looked into each classroom as I walked by it, searching for an empty one. Finding one, a mischievious grin came to my face as I looked to see which room it was. "History? That old fart could do with some pranking...might spark some life into those old bones." I checked the door and, finding it unlocked, made my way into the classroom. I spent a few minutes setting up some of the more "classic" pranks - chalk in the eraser, whoopee cushion on the chair, then moved on to what was going to get the best reaction out of the professor. Opening my bag, I took out a small box containing a live frog and placed it in the top drawer of the desk. "Well, at least history class won't be boring."

While I set up these pranks, I couldn't help but wonder what the new professor was going be teaching. "She sure did have a nice accent..." I shook my head to get the thought out of my head. At that point, the bell rang and I had a class to get to. I started whistling again as I left the classroom, headed towards my class.

Miss Madeline Harvey - History

I sit in the staffroom on my own. I start to review my papers. I wonder how different the teaching system is here. I'm still a bit nervous. That boy that helped me near the locker gave me a cheeky smile. I'm not used to boys, having taught girls up till now. I wonder if the students here are more cheeky! I'm sure they are, being boys!

I walk over to the window and wait. Was I dressed ok? Will they like me? I straighten my knee length black skirt. I take off my cardigan, revealing my white blouse.

I hear a bell go off, and I walk around the staff room like a lost lamb. Should I have gone to the headmasters first? What if they don't know if I'm here or not? I get worried and decide to go and find someone...anyone. I put my handbag, cardigan and folder somewhere safe, and leave the staff room. The hallway is busy with boys of all ages. Some so tall they look like grown men! This is going to be strange. I must look so bloody lost and hopeless!

In the chaos some large boy bumps me and my glasses fall off. Damn shit. I'm going to have to get new glasss. These are so loose. I fall to my knees and try to grab them before anyone steps on them! This day has not started well at all for me!!!!

Landi entered the building while it was quiet, she found her classroom and began to add her personal touches including the unique poster that reads in bright neon pink letters Stepping into my Realm will lead to you actually using Your Brain.. Enter at your own curiousity! that graced the door upon entering.

A few minutes later she was writing notes on the board pertaining to her weekly planner.


This week.... Tuesday review the stages of growth of the common Bull Frog.
Wednesday complete Homework assignment on growth diagram
Thursday Read Biology Pages 121 to 140
Friday review notes on diagram.. oral


In another corner of the board was another famous quote that she uses periodically Majiks are what you beleive you are capable of pulling off.. think twice!

She places stapled papers on the counter by the hall door. The papers expected for the week neatly compiled for completeion.

Joey Kennedy

After being lectured by Mr. Davis i went outside of the building before my next class was to start, leaning against the brick wall, my hands in my pockets. I had to figure some things out..i was already in shit with one teacher and the day had just begun. I checked my schedule to see what class i had next..what the fuck was.......ancient studies?

I checked the map that Jay had handed me and located where i was to be..same building..good i had time to have a smoke before my class was to start. Lighting a cigarette, i glanced up and saw a female teacher standing in a classroom window, she seemed to be just staring off into space, i was sure she hadn't seen me light the cigarette so i turned in the opposite direction and quickly finished it.

I checked my watch and knew i had to hurry, tossed the smoke onto the ground and went back inside the school.
I went up the nearest flight of stairs, feeling a little better, i knew where i was going at least and found the classroom. My eyes went to the board and i read the words..Sex The Lure Of Death And War..

This should be interesting!

Tom Heller

I walked into the classroom for 'Ancient Studies' feeling a bit anxious, as I had never had a class like this before. Hoping it would go quickly so that I could go to science class, something I was good at, I made my way to a seat and looked at the board, seeing the words "Sex the Lure Of Death and War" written on the board. Seeing something like that on the first day was a little unnerving, especially since it appeared as though there was a new professor. The classroom had been moved around, I recognized that much just from having seen the room before.
"Great, some new professor wants to make a name for themselves, impress all the students on the first day." I muttered under my breath. Reaching into my bag, I took out a notebook and pen, putting them on my desk and staring at the board. I noticed as a new student walked in and was just as shocked by the blackboard as I was. I muttered again. "Glad to know I'm not the only one..." Leaning back, I decided to relax a bit to wait for class to begin.

Contessa

*She turned around looking at all the shock and curiousity on the faces of her students though no emotion showed on her face she inwardly smirked. SO many of them left speechless others with snide little comments she looked to each one of them as she returned to the blackboard*

Take your seats now gentlemen and we will begin class. Yes another new teacher graces your campus this year I am Dr Alexander and for now all you need know about me is that there is nothing you all can do to unnerve me I assure you. Rumors I know might have already begun circulating about me around this campus if any of you have any family or friends at the Military Academy. So let me clear up any little rumors that may be curculating. yes I have served in the Military and most of my teaching training has come from military schools who have hired me for teaching. This class will be run like the previous classes I have taught you will be in your seats on time... if you are lucky you will leave this class with a greater understanding of just how deeply the past affects each and every one fo us today. If you are unlucky you will find yourself in the painful task of finding another course to fill this time slot for you will NOT waste my time nor that of your classmates.

With that said let us begin. *With that the lecture began. Many of the students it was clear to anyone were terrified now of her and others almost shock that someone like her would be allowed to teach at their school much less talk to them like that. Her voice while holding an edge that 12 years of military service had honed still also if you listened held a care and concern to help educate the students around her*

Tom Heller

My mouth dropped open when I saw who the professor was that was teaching the class. "Holy shit." I said, probably a bit to loudly. Instantly, I could tell that she was not going to take much shit from anybody. For me, that just means it's more of a challenge. Chances are, if she was wound up this much, it only meant that when I did get a good prank pulled off on her, chances are she would crumble and break down more than most professors.

A smile crossed my face as a few of my classmates began to sweat at her opening speech. Obviously, she was trying to scare a few of us into dropping the course, but I'm not one to shy away from a challenge that easily.

Joey Kennedy

When Dr. Alexander turned from the window and addressed the class i realized that this was the same woman who i had earlier observed looking out of the classroom window while i was outside smoking.

I wasn't unnerved by her comments, rather i was intrigued and just a little taken aback. I listened to what she had to say, secretly glad that Jay wasn't in the class to distract me..who knows how she would react to the behavior we had presented in Mr.Davis's English class.

Dr. Alexander obviously wasn't about to take any shit from anyone...it would be a challenging class. I began looking more at the way she actually looked..fuck she was hotter than hell..but she was also stricter than most or she presented to be...i began wondering what she would do if she had to discipline any of the guys...I wasn't paying attention and dropped my books on the floor..
"ah fuck!", i said too loudly.

Contessa

*Looking to the outburst her eyes almost narrowing* IS there a problem? * Any student that attempted even a chuckle got those eyes directed to them like daggers but her eyes always went right back to the one who made the outburst.* And you would be Who young man? *Handing a student a stack of Large business document envelopes and telling them to pass them around she waited for an answer from him*

Shit.i thought to myself..way to go Joey..
"Im Joey Dr. Alexander..er Joey Kennedy"

The way her eyes immediately narrowed and focussed directly on me i knew i had better answer..she obviously knew who had spoken out of turn and didn't appear like she was going to just let it go.

Contessa

Well then Mr Kennedy get your book and return your attentions to the lecture and language like that will NOT be tolerated in class is that clear.

*Dismissing it beyond that she turned her attentions back to the class and again began her lecture once more as if she had never missed a beat*

The packets being handed out are expected topics of reports written or oral... debates... Presentations or however you would like to present them. THis is the only assignments in this class that I will leave up to your own creativity. You may chose not to do them but know this the paks are in two halfs the first half will be completed the first half of our time together for 1/2 your grade the second half will be completed by the end of out time together for 2/3s of your grade. Keep that in mind

*Moving back to her lecture and lining out how such a simplte thing as an affair... a sexual injustice of any kind has been the start of various civil wars and wars between countries throughout history and deaths that have happened due to such or even less than that but all based around the "needs" of the flesh*

When Mister Green walked in Taylor didn't even act like she really noticed she just went on with her class. But she would get him later oh would she ever get him.

(Damn it Taylor stop it, you almost got fired for this damned obsession. You can't get fired from this job you need it.)

When the bell rang and the kids went to rush out she moved to the door to stop Mister Green. Once he got to the door, Taylor told him "Sit back down Mr. Green. You need a lesson in being on time to class and a lesson on what you are supposed to be doing in that class."

"I also wish to speak with you about the fact that you smoked while on campus and I KNOW that to be against the rules." "So here's the deal, I want you to be in my class on time from this day forward and you will be sitting in the front set of this class or I will have you turned into the principal and make damn sure that he gives you the worst chours that there is in this school."

With that Taylor let Mister Green go and sent him out with a final warning. "If I catch you smoking on campus, being tardy to any or my classes or any of your other classes I will make damn sure that you have so much damn homework from all of your teachers that you will never see the light of day again."

Once he was gone. Taylor sat down in her chair and took a breathe she didn't have another class for two hours. She decided that she would stop by the teachers lounge and then maybe grab a bite to eat. On her way to the teachers lounge she bumped into the new english teacher a Mister Rick Davis. From what she had seen of him before he could really light her fire.

But that was not allowed at least not to her knowledge.

Tom Heller

A smile came across my face as I saw Joey getting into trouble. "Nice to see the new guy causing problems...seems like he'll fit right in." As Dr. Alexander discussed the presentations, my mood was lowered quite a bit. An oral presentation? Why something so stupid? I watched the professor for a few moments, thinking I might be able to charm my way out of the project.

My pen moved along the paper, but I was only pretending to copy the notes, instead choosing to draw a picture of a bird, trying to take my mind off the fact that I might have to do an oral presentation.

Jay Green

I sat down again, the second teacher who wanted to have a 'chat' with me, all in one day, boy was I lucky. Yadda yadda yadda, don't be late, don't smoke, whatever the teachers all say...that i always ignore. I checked her out while i was tuning her out, she was pretty hot, class this year would be full of, shall we say, artistic inspiration? A pity I didn't take art for a class, i mused. She finally finished lecturing what seemed to be 15 minutes later, and I got up, leaving my artistic impression of her on the desk i was sitting at, along with my name and a single question, "Wanna go out sometime?"

Next class was biology. I was relieved to see that for once, it was one of our regular teachers, Ms. Kirk, hadn't changed to someone new yet. As usual, I walked in with the late stragglers, sitting on the far side near the window where I could look out at the goings-on of the world outside. I waited for class to begin, figuring I should lay low for once and try not to get another serious 'talking-to' from the teacher - they were getting rather repetetive, and if I got another one, I would likely repeat what all the others had said so far today and just tell the teacher in question to piss off.

"Congradulations for not being tardy.. Welcome to Science.. I am Ms Landi Kirk and no I am not related to James T. Kirk of the starship Enterprise. With that dispensed I look forward to improving your minds into the realm of Biology for the next two months. I am pleased to see a few familiar faces and hopefully science can replace eye candy....."

She wandered the room and smiled at each student. "Of course that also means that each student is responsible to teach his classmates about something that interests them in the feild of science which is the majority of the final grade."

Landi noticed that Jay was more outside then inside so suggested. "If you would be sure to get one of the assignment packets before leaving today it will make it possible to actually gain an A. There are cards on the desk to put your names on and your desired final Grade.. complete the work and that grade is almost handed to you on a silver platter."

"Mr Green, kindly go to the board and write what we will be learning next week. Oh and thank you for paying attention and volunteering to go first."

Jay Green

I jolted out of my reverie, damn.. Ms. Kirk always picked on daydreamers. "Uh, sure." I set down the pencil I was twirling and sauntered up to the board. "Next week: Class dismissed except for those studying Human Anatomy" I wrote, adding a little picture of a silhouetted nude female figure in a provoking pose. Under that, I noted, "Study of female anatomy with a live model is always good."

With a cocky smile, I returned to my seat, to a small chorus of appreciative snickers of classmates. I looked around the classroom, some people still had the "huh?" look on their faces having just looked up from glancing through the assignments. Others were writing down their names on the card paper provided on each desk.

I folded my piece of card paper in two and began sketching a graffiti-style name, even though I knew the teacher knew my name already.

"Female Anatomy, Mr. Green, good possibilities on that subject. I am sure that we can talk to the Dean about the use of a deceased female's body for medicinal study. Now if you would kindly collect your paper and fill it in, pass them to the front."

Landi moved about the room and picked up the cards then winked at Jay for not being too outlandish this time.

"Mr Westman, you are next." She indicated, he quickly went to the board and wrote Astrology

Miss Madeline Harvey - History

I pick my glasses up and try to get myself together. I was a bit shaken. I stand and return to the staff room. As I do a hand from behind pushes the door open. I turn and face a tall man, rather dashing. He smiles as we move into the staff room.

"I'm guessing you are the new History teacher?" he says in a deep voice.

I nod. "Yes... Im Madeline Harvey. I transferred from Britian. It's my first day"

He smiles and moves over to the centre table, putting down his old leather briefcase on the table and taking out a cigarette.

"Do you mind?" he kindly asks.

"Oh, no. Not at all. The other teachers I board with all smoke"

I stand at the door like some nervous kid! Urgh, get with the programe Maddy!

"By the way... I'm Alex Winters. I'm head of the History department"

He stand back up to shake my hand. Such a strong grip. What a handsome man. And he's my boss! Oh god. I don't know what to feel.

"Nice to meet you Alex. I, well I have no idea where I'm mean't to be!"

"Don't panic" he says with a kind tone, "your first class is at 2pm. I'll introduce you to the boys. It will be fine"

I sit down at the centre table next to Alex. He pulls out papers and starts to check them over and mark. He looks up at me looking at him. 'Oh god...I'm staring'.

"Don't take any crap from the boys" he says, checking me out. How embarrassing. "You ummm, you would be just their type and I don't mean in 'knowledge and education' if you know what I mean" He winks. 'OH GOD OH GOD' I think! Now I'm more nervous!

"What I mean to say is, some of these boys will push the boundries. Most of them are good students. I'm pretty sure you have Mike Wells in your class. He's from England as well. Nice kid! You'll be fine"

Alex goes back to marking papers and I take out my folders and start to review what I have. I had studied American History quite a bit back in the old dart, and from what my schedule showed, I was glad I did! I'll be fine... I hope.
