Chapter 7 - New Teacher

Emma arrives at school and looks at her watch, "8:30.... not bad" she thought, but something in the sky caught her eye, "awe, look, birdies!" Emma thinks to herself."Hey there Emma" Emma heard a deep voice mentioning her name, she turns around and it was her English teacher Mister Daly walking by her, "hey mister Daly" replies Emma, "how are you?" she adds. "Well, I'm better than usual, you?" Mr Daly asks back, "same with me sir" Emma replies, "well see you in class then! Bye for now" says Mr Daly to Emma, "yes, bye sir!" Emma replies. She watches as Mr Daly walks to the school building. "Emma!" Jenifer scares Emma, "Oh, Jesus Jenifer, you scared the poop out if me" Emma tells Jenifer frightened, Jenifer begins to smirk. "Who are you watching Emma?" Jenifer asks, "no-one..." Emma answers, but Jenifer is becoming suspicious, "are you sure, I saw you staring at Mr Daly, huh?" Jenifer begins to tease Emma, "no..." Emma denies, as she begins to question herself why she was watching him. "Dude, you have a crush on him" Jenifer says, "What!? That's disgusting, he is my teacher, not a lover, okay?" Emma replies in disgust, "hey, you could be, you just don't know it" Jenifer tells Emma. "I am not, and I know it" Emma replies, "okay I'm just saying" says Jenifer, "can we just go to class now?" Emma offers, annoyed. "Why? We have like 20 ish minutes to class" Jenifer tells Emma in confusion, "that's what I am saying, come on!" Emma tells Jenifer as Emma begins to drag Jenifer by her hand, "wait I ca... oh never mind" mutters Jenifer.

"So my first and second class went.... well, I had Geography for my first, while Irish was my second class, and ye, I bet you could have guessed, English was my third class, and it turns out that Mr Daly could not attend the class due to a teacher meeting that he thought was in a weeks time.... well it was today, and as you know, we had a substitute teacher to mind us, and ye, class is about to begin, so I don't know what will happened concretely, but I just hope something good is gonna happen..." Emma writes down is her notes. She drops her pen in fright as the door opened, the room began to fill with the breeze from the hallway, but then, a teacher came in, a substitute teacher, Emma quickly bent down to get her pen that was on the floor, and as she sat back up, she looked at the teacher, and could not take her eyes off him. "He seems young.... and familiar" Emma thinks to herself as she tries to get her books for English organized. "He looks so nice, and sweet, I just hope he actually is nice and sweet" Emma thinks to herself. "Hello there guys, I am gonna be your substitute for this class as you may already know, glad to see a few familiar faces. I don't see any work left for you, so I'm gonna ask you to work quietly because I have some things to do too, okay?" the substitute teacher explains to us, students, "oh yeah, and btw my name is Mr. Jefferson, so if you need anything, you can at least know my name, now working quietly, or you can talk to you neighbors, but quietly, okay?" asks Mr. Jefferson, the class nods. Emma looks at the teacher, "he looks strangely familiar... like... my dad..." Emma thinks to herself, "even his voice reminds me if me...." her thought gets interrupted by a sharp pain in her head, "oh jeez" she squeals as she holds her head with her eyes closed, but as she opens them, she sees red drops on the floor, she touches her nose, "nose bleed?" she thinks to herself with a surprised look in her eyes. "Emma? Are you okay?" asks Alicia, Emma's classmate, "yes, just a small nose bleed, I'm fine" replies Emma, "is everything okay there girls?" asks Mr Jefferson, "can I go to the toilet quickly sir, my nose", Emma tells the teacher, "yes of course" Mr Jefferson tells Emma, "are you okay?" he adds, Emma just gives him a quick nod. Emma begins to walk towards the toilet, her headache stops, but then a pulse of pain strikes Emma's head, the pain is so severe that she wraps her hands around her head and goes on her knees, "what's happening to me!" Emma thinks to herself, becoming more and more worried, the pain stops again and she continues to walk towards the toilet, she walks about 80 meters until she reached one of the 4 toilets in the school, she goes into the toilet,she gets a tissue and from all of a sudden.... darkness... Emma passed out.

"Emma? Emma? Wake up... Emma?" calls out a familiar voice, it was Jenifer. Emma opens her eyes widely and looks around the room, "where am i" she asks Jenifer, "the hospital" Jenifer replies, "makes sense" says Emma "wait..... is this a dream" asks Emma "I.. I don't think so Emma" answers Jenifer, "pinch me" Emma tells Jenifer, "what?" Jenifer asks, "punch me Jenifer" Emma tells Jenifer again, "okay" Jenifer says. Emma makes a squeak as Jenifer pinches her, "why did you make me pinch you?" Jenifer asks Emma, "so that I can see is I am actually awake" replies Emma, "well you are, right?" asks Jenifer, "yes, I felt the pinch, that means that I am awake" Emma explains to Jenifer. "Just saying, there are a lot of people outside, dude, you scared up, we found you unconscious like at break time" Jenifer told Emma, "what time is it now" asks Emma, "umm... its.... 1:23 PM right now" answers Jenifer. "I just hope that my classmates are not angry at me" Emma says worried, "are you kidding me? They are happy because you got them out of class, if anything that are thankful" Jenifer explains to Emma. Emma and Jenifer hear a knock, "come in!" Jenifer invites the visitor in, the doors open revealing that the visitor is Tom. "Hey Emma" Tom greets Emma, Emma stares at him, with fear in her eyes.
