Student or Teacher: Student

Appearance:

Name: Elliott Yakito

Age: Twenty Four

Grade In/Grade Teaching: Tenth Grade

Small Bio: Elliott had a normal-ish life growing up. The only issues he had was an overbearing father and a sickly mother. Unlike his three siblings, he liked school and explaining things to people. So, he took the obvious route of teaching, and has been doing so for two years now. He'd had some issues at first, due to him being a tad high maintenance, but is now one of the teachers all the students want.

Student or Teacher: Teacher.

Appearance: (I really like this picture, but I'll put an anime picture as well.)

It was the first week of school after Spring Break and Tauna was heading back to school carrying her book bag with both hands as she walked. She was lucky so far not to trip over anything. Before the break, she'd learned from overhearing other students that one of her teachers would be going on maternity leave and would need a replacement till next spring. Tauna was always nervous when it came to meeting new teachers, but she wasn't showing it as she reached the school unharmed.

Elliott pulls up to the school cheerfully. It's his first day at this school, seeing how he's taking over for a teacher on maternity leave. He cuts the engine and gets out. He grins when he sees the stares he's getting. Not like it surprises him, he has the stereotypical blonde hair and green eyes. He heads inside, as some students stop to stare at him. He hums this to himself. He chuckles at the reactions, wondering if anyone realizes he's a teacher.

Tauna walked into the school using a different door. It was closer to where she lived so she didn't see the new teacher drive up. Nor did she see him enter the building as she started down the hallways to her locker hoping to remember where it was. After a while she started to wander.

Elliott walks through the school to the office, amused. He goes to the desk and waits for the secretary to notice him. Once she does he says, "I'm Elliott Yakito, the substitute teacher for tenth grade English." He takes the schedule and room key given and heads to his class room, again getting stared at. He unlocks door and flips the lights on.

Tauna was surprised to find her locker so easily this time. Then again she'd forgotten about the pink lock she'd put on it before Spring Break started. She opened her locker and put her school bag away. Then she grabbed her English binder, novel and textbook and headed for class despite it still being quite early. She figured she'd finish reading the novel she was assigned as a project during Spring Break while she waited for class to begin. Everyone could choose their own books as long as they were long enough.
Didn't take her long to find the classroom either. She took her seat in the front row farthest from the door and opened the book without noticing the teacher.

Elliott glances up when Tauna walks in. He grins to himself when he sees her pull the book out. He' d also been reading the book, so it'd be fresh in his mind. He flips through it absently. He then puts it down at the other students walk in. A few preppy girls start squealing over him and he has to suppress a shudder. He runs a hand through his hair, watching the clock.

Meanwhile the screaming didn't bother Tauna as she finished a chapter of the book. One more to go. She wasn't sure if she'd be able to finish it before class started, though. Or at least finish it quickly by skimming and forget what happened... She attempted it anyway without even looking up once as the book kind of mesmerized her. She'd rather read than do school work, but after she finished the book she'd have to write a book report on it.

As the bell rings, Elliott stands up. "I am your new substitute teacher, Mister Yakito." He jots his name on the board, frowning at the chalk. He wipes his hands off, still frowning. "'Kay, then. Let's tell the new teacher--who has no seating chart-- our names, shall we?" He seems to be a cool guy. He sits on the desk and swings his legs. "But, just so we're clear, don't tell me that your name is something ridiculous such as Billy Joe Jimbob because I can go to the office and get a roster. And once I get everyone's names, whoever told me weird names will still be called those names. So, you're only embarrassing yourself. Understood? "

The students all said 'yes sir' or 'yeah' in unison making the whole room echo almost.
Tauna had said a 'yeah' too, but super softly as she looked up at the teacher. She was surprised. That blond hair, those green eyes. He was... Gorgeous! So much so it made her blush.
Most of the students, especially the girls, except Tauna who wasn't like them, were all wondering which row would go first and which name he'd receive first. The girls, again except Tauna, all wanted their names to be the very first one he'd call. The boys couldn't care less about being first called except the bisexual ones and whatnot. They waited patiently as the girls and certain guys all stared at him with their lovey-dovey gazes.
Tauna just hid behind her book again.

((Heh heh... Hope you don't mind that I became the students now. :P))

(XD I'll be a few guy students then. We could add some studentxstudent parings then if you want.)

Elliott eyes the room, debating which way to start. He grabs an empty seating chart and stares at it, comparing it to the room. "Hm...How about..you?" He points at Tauna, smiling. He pokes at the seating chart as he waits.

"Huh? M-me!?" The blush deepened as he gazed right at her. She placed the book down on the desk, spine upward. The girls all glared in her direction then. It made her very uncomfortable. "M-my name is... T-tauna... Tauna Taylor." She actually wanted to use her nickanem or even middle name, but they were both silly. By this time the girls had flames in their eyes. Including one really popular girl at the school. Tauna giggled nervously as she felt the glares as a nervous sweat drop appeared on her head.

((I like those student/student pairings with added rumours. The kind where everyone in the school knows almost everything about them and such. What they do, if they break up and get back together, etc... Usually the most popular students in a pairing. :P))

(Kay! Popular boy and girl, then?)
Elliott nods, cheerfully. "Any nicknames you'd prefer?" He watches the girls glare, amused. He seems used to women fighting over him.

One boy in the back of the room, next to the most popular girl, snorts. He seems not to like the attention the new teacher is getting. He shifts and puts his legs on his desk, waiting to be scolded.

((Yeah something like that.))
"Uh... Not really... They're all silly or stupid. Some rude..." Most of the girls knew which ones she was talking about as some of them snickered. Others started drawing rude pictures of her or write notes to one another.
With the teacher distracted, they thought they could get away with it and maybe anything. They admired him, sure, but they also seemed to hate Tauna. Tauna didn't notice anything since she wasn't looking that way. She was more captivated by those green eyes as she thought of her odd sounding middle name. Surely tease worthy.

Elliott catches the pictures, and the boy in the back. He frowns at the students drawing the pictures. "Kindly cut it out, or I'll give you detention. Cleaning detention." He then looks at the boy in the back. "I'd put your chair down, before you fall out of it. "Fuck you, prissy boy." The boy tips his chair back more, just to be spiteful.

Tauna had nothing to say to that as she went to writing her book report. It had to be done today or marks would be docked for lateness. She didn't like to put things off too long when it came to homework.
The girls, in the meantime, stopped glaring and drawing. They replaced their facial expressions to look as cute and flirty as possible to get out of having to do cleaning detention. Even though it was only a threat.

Elliott eyes the boy. "Name? And that's a new comeback," he states, dryly. He scratches his head. "Cadence Kryell. My Father is Julian Kyrell." He waits for Elliott to know who he's talking about. Elliott just stares. "Names have no effect on a newcomer, remember?" He looks amused though, already pegging the boy into a stereo typical role. He then move back to the front of the room, until he gets to the girl next to Cadence.

She just snorted. "Why don't you just go row by row or column by column. It would go a hell of a lot faster. We've already wasted ten minutes of class with only two names being told. Sheesh. Are all substitutes this slow? Or is it dumbness?" She didn't care for the teacher and how he looked. She just wanted class to begin. "Better yet... You'll just learn them all anyway when the book reports are handed in at the end of class. How's that?"

Elliott opens his mouth, then shuts it. " How about I just call you by the name Blondie? Will that work for you?" He seems not willing to take any crap from anyone. "And I'd suggest you stop mouthing off, miss." He calms down. Now, hand in your papers."

"Heh. Nice try. But they don't need to be handed in till the end of class. You should know that. Being a fill-in and all." She was already finished her report so she didn't care if he took it or not as she snapped the gum she'd hidden under her tongue. She knew she had the most perfect report out of anyone there. "And the name's Renee. Renee Fischer."

Cadence rolls his eyes. "Can you do something, rather than wasting our time?" "Elliott looks at him. "Fine. Tell me, in detail, the plot of the book." He leans against the desk and waits.

((Heh... I'm having fun being the bad girl))

"He doesn't have tell you anything about it. Books were read. Reports were finished. That's all you need to know. Just read the report and then you'll know." She snapped her gum really loudly in a very annoying way as she also leaned back on her chair now.

Tauna was still busy working on her report as all the background noise didn't bother her as she was concentrating very hard to finish it in time. Her hand was shaking as she wrote, rushing to get it done.

Cadence smirks. "What, didn't you read the book?" Elliott smirks back. "There is a thing called SparkNotes, miss. Something I wouldn't put it past you kids to use. Ah, well. If you did, you're getting an automatic F." He shrugs, and glances at the clock. He then looks over his lesson plan. "All right, get out your vobac books and do the next lesson. It'll be collected and checked for accuracy tomorrow."

(Ah, I adore Cadence. he's such a bitch.)

Renee had nothing really else to say as she opened her book and started reading, secretly reading a teen magazine as the book was titled upwards. The gum snapped repeatedly as she read. She'd finished her report without even using this so called SparkNotes. Not that she even knew what they were.

Tauna was still working on her book report and didn't hear the teacher saying what he wanted the class to do. The book was right under the paper she was writing on, too. She didn't know why she did that. The desk just seemed to low for her or something.
