Anna's POV

I hurried to my locker and grabbed my food. I made it to band class quickly even with the lunch rush traffic. I smiled and put my bag down in my seat and sighed. I got my lunch out and grabbed my instrument.

Mark came into the room with his lunch and smiled. "Hey Anna." he said and smiled as he sat at his computer. "Hi Mark." I said. I smiled and he looked at me. "Why do you have your instrument out?" he asked. I looked down at it then back to him. I smirked and with my best british accent I smiled and said. "I was going to serenade you over this very crappy school lunch." I said and looked at him.

He laughed and I smiled and blushed. "I was actually going to practice honors band music." I said and smiled. He nodded and looked at me. "Alright. I look forward to hearing it." he said and began to eat. I nodded and ate my food and got ready to play. I ran through my B flat concert scale and tuned.

I looked at him and he motioned for me to continue. I took in a breath and looked at my music and began to play. I played through it and looked at him. "You sounded beautiful, Anna." he said. I blushed and looked down with a smile on my face. "Thank you Mark. I messed up a bit though." I said.

He stood and turned the stand for him to see. "Where did you mess up at?" he asked. I looked at the sheet music and pointed to where it was. "There?" he asked. I nodded and he looked at it.

"Do you want me to sing it and conduct you?" he asked and gave a small smile. "Yes please." I said. He nodded and smiled. He began to sing the rythem and I smiled. He rose his hands and iI rose my instrument and got ready to play.

I played it like he sang it and at the tempo he gave me. I played it through the rest of the song after he helped me with the part and sat back down. He looked at me and came over. He rose his hand for a high five but I dissed it and gave him a hug.

He was surprised at first but hugged back. I pulled back and looked at him. "What was that for?" he asked. I blushed. "I've played this song for years. And have never met a teacher that could help me with it. Thank you Mark." I said. He nodded and smiled as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I am your teacher after all. And what are teachers for anyway?" he said and left out a small chuckle.

I smiled and put the instrument away and looked at him as I put my bag on. "Thanks for letting me stay here and helping me with my work." I said. He nodded and smiled. "Anytime. I like the company." he said and smiled back. I nodded and waved goodbye and began to walk out. "Hey Anna. Wait." he said. I turned and looked at him and he came over.

He put a hand on my shoulder and looked at me. "Can I talk to you after class tomorrow?" He asked. I nodded and he smiled. "Great. You can go to your next class now." he said. I smiled and nodded as I walked out of the class down the hall and to my next class.

-At home-

I had gotten my homework done and was now in bed looking at my ceiling. I sighed and looked at my phone screen to see the time. it was almost eleven at night. I sighed and put my phone down.

Why am I still awake? I'm not hungry. I'm not very tired. Do I have a fever? No. Then what is it? I sat up and walked to the bathroom and turned on the light. I looked in the mirror and sighed. I was beat red and I sighed. No fever and i'm not sweating.

I looked down for a second and sighed. I'm in love. But with who? I know. That new teacher. But do I really want this? He's a great guy and all. But he is my teacher. But I am a senior. I can try can't I? I walked back to my room and flopped face first on my bed. I sighed and turned over. I fell asleep soon after that and slept the rest of the night with Mark in my dreams.
