Milo POV

Holy Shit! I just talked to a ghost! An actual dead being, and he didn't eat me. I walked away from the biology classroom in a daze, not even caring about bumping into people, in my defense I was in shock so I was allowed to bump into Angela Webber by mistake and then 'accidentally' bump into Mike Newton when he was trying to flirt with the new brunette by the door (like get a room people and I don't mean the biology classroom). 

My last period was a free lesson so I walked to the literature classroom because that was the only place I was sure I was gonna get some peace and quiet. I walked into the class and was pleasantly surprised when I saw the new teacher. I actually stopped for a minute because of how shocked I was feeling, it seemed that this year we would have an actual teacher.

 Inside I was met with a rather young Korean man instead of the 50 year old balding American dude I was expecting or that one 34 year old female teacher we always have that's obsessed with weird shitty romances like twilight, fifty shades and then preaches about Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet because that's probably the only play of his they've actually read, and if they do talk about like one other play its because they were forced to read it for THEIR literature class when they were younger.

I have to admit the guy was pretty good looking with his ashy silver grayish hair and aesthetic glasses and I'm pretty sure he is probably in his late twenties, he was currently grading homework (umm where did he even get those homework sheets from, it's literally the first day of school!!!). He abruptly looked up at me and smiled (he had a nice smile, but not as nice as Matt's though, no one's is as nice as his).

"Hello my name is Mr Kim and I will be your literature teacher this year," so first things first.....his voice sounded like a fucking angel...like what the fuck! Second thing is this guy is probably an angel cause if I can have a casual conversation with a ghost in my shitty school hallway then my new literature teacher can be an angel.

I could see him getting a little nervous and confused and it took my dumb self a minute to realize that I hadn't said anything yet and was just staring at his (very hot) face. I quickly cleared my throat and reached a hand out to give him a handshake LIKE AN IDIOT......why do I even continue existing anymore.....sigh. 

I honestly wanted to just go somewhere alone and die at this point.....Now I finally know why people called this LIFE.....because Living..Is..Fucking..Exhausting. The teache- I mean Mr Kim seemed to be enjoying my pain as the fucker actually had the audacity to look amused. "Well it was nice to meet you Mr...." I rolled my eyes at the clique, but answered him anyway.

"You don't have to call me Mr anything, you can just call me Milo since your gonna be my teacher, plus you're also older than me and the rest of the students in this school....well except Josh Anderson, I'm pretty sure he's failed 12th grade for about 10 years, so by now he's probably at least 30 years old."

I stopped my rambling when I noticed that Mr Kim had a notebook and pencil in his veiny as fuck hands and was apparently writing what I was saying??? I looked at him with my best what the fuck are you doing look (not to brag or anything, but my what the fuck look had perfect over the years of friendship with Archie, by now it was scary if I don't use it every month or so).

He stopped writing when he noticed the look on my face and that I had stopped talking, he sheepishly rubbed his neck in a really awkward manner. I can totally relate with what he's doing right now, but I'm not telling him that, I've embarrassed myself enough times in my short lifetime its someone else's turn now and all I'm gonna do is sit back and enjoy the show....I guess karma really is a bitch.

"Uhhh sorry about that Milo it's just a habit of mine, you see before I came here I used to work as a therapist and I guess the mindset of my old job just stuck with me, my partner always finds it hilarious when I start giving out deep life advice or therapy to people when we go to bars or coffee shops." I couldn't help but smile at the fond look Mr Kim had in his eyes as he talked about his partner.....it must be nice to have someone who stands by your side throughout everything and loves you unconditionally, Mr Kim is a lucky man.

"I'm sure you'll find someone who will always put you first and care for you just as much as you will for them Milo, love doesn't just happen over night you know, it takes time, my partner and I didn't get together until about 3 years after we met and your right about that last thing you know, I really am a lucky man to have such an amazing partner by my side, he truly does make my life more exciting."

I hadn't realized that I had said all that out loud, but you know for once I'm glad I did because listening to Mr Kim's words really did help especially since I come from a family where it hard to know if the love they show you is real or fake (spoiler alert.....it's always fake love).  Suddenly the bell rang signaling the end of the day, I looked at Mr Kim only to see him looking back at me apologetically.

"Oh Milo I'm so sorry I hadn't even noticed the time," I just shook my head and waved off the apology, "it's okay Mr Kim I enjoyed talking to you." I started making my way out the door when I suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Mr Kim and said, "Mr Kim....thank you for your advice today it really helped a lot, oh and you might want to reconsider your job as the school's literature teacher I'm sure you'd do better as the school counselor, the one we have right now......Ms Linda I think that's her name is a complete fake who's just here for the money, she honestly doesn't even do anything." 

Mr Kim laughed and just shooed me out. This is how I found myself walking down the hallway for the last time today with genuine smile on my face (one that I hadn't even realized was gone until now). I just couldn't wait for my date.....umm I mean study session.....yeah definitely not date.

 A/N: Soooo what do you guys think??? Btw you guys will not find out who Mr Kim is properly or his face claim until the next book (if I make one 😳)......but you guys are always welcome to guess who it is 😏

 Anyways have a good day/night and I will see you guys in the next chapter.  I love you guys!!!
