Chapter 15: The Start of Ms. Chantal
It was almost midnight when I arrived back at the mansion. Ethan had his own house to stay so he is not staying with me and Douglas which is that I hope that Ethan should stay here instead. I dont want to be alone with Douglas.
So when I stepped into the living room, Douglas was sitting on one of the couch, drinking a glass of whisky in his hand and his laptop on the table
"How was the party?" he asked not removing his eyes from his laptop
"Um...it was great?" I guess. Meeting the guy who broke my heart is surely great.
"A lot of them are starting to call and ask me questions about us but of course, I didnt answer even one of them" he spoke "Good, Laura. You have done a great job tonight"
I lowered my head "Thanks..." then I was about to leave when I remember what I am going to ask him "Oh Douglas,"
"What?" he asked still not looking at me. Rude
"About the teaching thing I asked you about..." I always wanted to be a teacher...a teacher to kids. I told Douglas that long ago that I wanted to be a teacher and he saod that he is going to give me the chance if I prove myself to him that I am already ready to be one and I passed my board exam!
Douglas thought for a second. Please say yes...please say yes...
"Fine" he answered now looking at me.
"Really?!" my eyes widen "I mean...Thank you, Douglas. I am going to work hard on this" I started jumping then ran to my room.
I am going to be a teacher! Yes! I am going to be a teacher atlast! What I always dreamed about. Thank you, Lord for giving me this opportunity.
So after letting out all my happiness, I went to have a long warm shower before going to bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few days later, I applied for a job in Smart Lake Academy. A school for young kids. Nursery to 6th grade. I got accepted immediately because the head of the school said that I had graduated as a valedictorian and my grades are very good.
Today is my first day of teaching and I am so excited on teaching.
Well I love kids and that is one thing that I have been looking forward too.
"Are you really sure of picking that job?" Ethan asked as he saw me wearing my teacher's uniform. I am just getting ready and I am standing in front of my mirror, checking if I look okay.
"Why? Is there something wrong at the job I picked?" I asked him back
Ethan's eyebrows touched "Not really. Actually, dont you think people are going to start talking about you since you are Douglas' girlfriend"
"Ethan, I am just a normal girl who wants a normal life. I studied hard for this job. You know being a teacher is my dream." I replied as I went to grab my things. Okay, I am good to go.
My uniform looks good on me. I dont look cheap like before because I am do have a good shape now than before. Good thing that this school is for rich kids. The uniform is really pretty.
Ethan just sigh, standing up with his hands in his pocket. This guy is really freaking me out. But I dont care. Douglas already agreed to this and there is no way that I am going to back out now.
The last thing I did was put on a light make-up in my face and then I am ready to go!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ms. Chantal" the principal of Smart Lake Academy, Mrs. Ashton, greeted me once I entered her office
She shook my hand and smiled "Ms. Ashton, I am really thankful for accepting me in this job"
"It nothing, dear. I seen your data and you have really high grades and you took Education at college" she smiled. "So I believe that you already seen the school before so I wont give you the map. And here is your class schedule"
I grab the paper and smiled at her "Thank you"
"Welcome to Smart Lake, Ms. Chantal" she told me before I left her office. I examined my schedule while making my way towards my homeroom.
I was assign as the adviser of the children in Kindergarden. Ohhh, I am so excited! I am so honored they give me such big role.
I finally arrived at my homeroom and when I entered it, I could never be more than happy right now. Its like my life is already half complete.
"I still have more designing to do" I muttered to myself while my eyes scan the whole room. I am thinking of a design I should put in my room that attract my students.
A few minutes later while I was sitting on my teacher desk, the door opened. A lady with the same uniform like mine came. I belive that this is my assistant teacher.
"Hello. I'm Ms. Layla Johnson, I am going to be your assistant teacher" she said kindly with a sweet voice and shook hands with me.
"Oh, hello. Ms. Layla. Ms. Chantal" I told her returning the smile "Do you work here for a long time?" I asked her. Honestly she looks older to me. maybe at her late twentys.
"Yes, I have worked as an assistant teacher for quiet a long time now. Is this your first time teaching?" she replied
"Yep, first time teaching and I am already an adviser" I said letting out a sigh "Did you handle a section too?"
"I only wanted to be an assistant " she respond "I just like to help"
"Oh..." then I looked at my wrist watch "It's 7:26. Class already starts in 4 minutes"
Layla smiled "Good luck, Ms. Chantal. You will love these kids."
"I'm sure I will" I said grining and ready my things.
At exactly 7:30 am, the bell rings signalling that the kids are coming in. Ms. Layla went to the gate to escort them here. All the children line up at the gate before they could enter their rooms. that's their policy here.
A heard laughing and shouting of kids when the door opened. Ms. Layla came in with the kids dressed in their proper uniform.Their smiles are very shiny and they all looked so excited at their first day of school.
They found their seats and being quiet seeing me. Aww, they are so cute!!! Can I keep one? Or two?
"Good morning, sunchines" I smiled sweetly at them since I noticed some of them a little shy . They greeted me back 'good morning' too
"My name is Ms. Chantal but if you want to call me Ms. Chan its fine with me. I will be your teacher from now on so...I am expecting all of you to be nice to me so I can be nice to you as well, alright?" I said in a slow tone for them to understsnd me.
"Okay" they replied.
I let out a soft chuckle since they are cooperating with me "...This is my assistant teacher, Ms. Layla, and she is very nice and pretty, right?"
They all nod and smiled. Soooo cute...
"Hi kids, we are going to be together for a whole year so I think it is better if we know each other...so...since we already introduced ourselves...what about you?"
Then they looked at us shyly...Very funny, they are shy to introduce myself. But I have to make them feel comfortable
"Okay, let me start again first...my name is Chantal Davis, but you can also call me Ms. Chan...well I love foods...Especially chocolates...hmmm, does any one here love chocolates too?" I gaze at them with a half smile and they laugh and some of them raise their hands... "I love reading and watching movies alone" I ended "So...how about you now"
They slowly started to introduce themselves to us and I camt help but to adore them. My smile was wide up the beginning until the end seeing them. They spoke very innocently and all I listen to them, knowing their story. Very adorable.
Next, I got to know them more as they finished their introduction. I was laughing when some of them were shy and got a little mistake in speaking. They are so cute, funny and smart
All together they are 18 so it is easy for me to recognize them quickly and remember their name. 12 girls and 6 boys. The girls are very sweet and pretty while the boys are more active. So, for starters and since this is their first day, we only had fun, played some games and color some drawings.
At 9:30, they are already dismissed, only half day but their regular schedule is 7:30-11:00 am. They said their goodbyes and went home straight.
I went outside, to meet other teachers with Ms. Layla. She introduced me to them and they seem to e okay. Young and middle aged together.
After the meeting and everything, I dont have a class anymore so I am going home. It is only 12 and I am very hungry.
"Leaving already?" one of the teacher, Mr. Ken asked as I closed my classroom. He is a Social teacher to the intermediate level. 26 years old, single and been teaching here for 3 years
"Yeah, I dont have any classes now" I replied "You?"
"Nope, have a class this afternoon. Good thing that you only have morning classes" he smiled
"Yeah"
I am not really good at making friends with guys except from Ethan who is been my friend in college and good friend of the old man.
I saw my driver, well hired by Douglas to be my driver, waiting in the car, outside the school. What the heck is he doing here?!
"Ben, I told you before that you wont be picking me up to school. We already agreed to this" I told him, frowning
"I'm very sorry Ms. Laura but Boss told me to pick you up from here to school until you got home to make sure that you wont go anywhere than the mansion" he spoke with his head lowered down
Damn that man. Still doesnt trust me enough to let me go home alone. Thinking that I might ran away...
Why does he always wants me guarded and not have fu. Does he wants to make my life miserable? How I hate his guts!
"Shall we, Ms. Laura?" he opened the car door and I just entered on te other door which he was not holding and opened it myself and sat down, with my arms crossed and my eyebroes frown angrily.
Stupid life...
HI ! it's me again. :) now, many friends of mine told me that Laura is too good to be a teacher and too rich to be a teacher but for me
Laura wants to be a normal person with a normal job that she is not going to get from Douglas. And like she said, she is just normal who needs a job. Thats why. HAHA so I am hoping you will like this chapter. So please support!
