Chapter 2 - Home Sweet Home

"Alright let's go get a snack," I say, smiling after we pick up the superhero room.

"Wow I've never seen anyone get so involved with the kids," Sally's dad says, walking beside me while holding her hand.

"Well they need the interaction. I'll allow them to be independent but you still need to participate with them," I say, leading everyone back to the classroom.

"Well it's very great to see," he says smiling.

"Thank you sir," I say, smiling back. "Oh I don't believe I ever got your name sir."

"My name is Sam Williams," he says, smiling.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Williams," I say.

The rest of the day is filled with lessons, lunch, naps, playtime, coloring, and lot's of hyper kids. I smile and wave bye to the students and lock up the school building. No one scheduled babysitting services today so I take the time to walk home. I take school online which allows me to teach at the elementary school, and I don't have a lot of friends. I don't really mind though since I'm not the most social person in the world anyway.

"Y/N! You're finally home!" my friend Ally calls from my doorstep.

"How long have you been there?" I ask Ally.

"An hour," she says, smiling.

"An hour?! Why were you waiting here that long?!" I ask, exasperated.

"It was the only place I felt like being," she says shrugging.

"Oh Ally," I say shaking my head and unlocking my front door, allowing her inside.

"Your parents out of town again?" she asks, raiding my fridge.

"Yeah," I say, setting down my bag.

"You've gotta be the luckiest kid ever," she says.

"Haha, hardly," I say, smiling and stealing one of the puddings from her that she pulled out.

"Whatevs. So you wanna come to a party with me?" she asks, tossing me a spoon.

"Can't. I've gotta work tonight," I say, opening the pudding.

"Come on Y/N! You always have to work," she complains, rolling her eyes.

"Well I have a really good job along with being a teacher," I say, chuckling.

"You need to live a little," she complains.

"I do live. Just on my own time," I say, poking her with the spoon handle.

"Whatevs Y/N. Can't you take a break for me?" she asks, pouting.

"Ugh, fine. Will there be alcohol?" I ask her.

"Duh," she says.

"Then no. I can't afford to have my name ruined," I say, washing my dishes.

"But Y/N!" she says, exasperated.

"I need the job at the school Ally. So my answer is no," I say firmly.

"Fine. If you change your mind here's the address!" she giggles leaving a piece of paper on my kitchen counter and running out.

"I'm not going," I grumble, rolling my eyes and going to my office where I take my online classes for four hours before heading to my room and jumping onto my computer. "Let's see. Today let's draw Slenderman."
