School life can be either amazing, or horrible when it comes to teenagers. However, being a teacher is a whole different story all together.  The teachers of at Christian Sky Academy all differ from looks, and personality. However there was one teacher that was disliked by all of the students, and this teacher was called James.  

James had recently came in the doors of the school, and he smelt the odd fragrance of this school. Sometimes, it will smell like musk, since some children never knew when to take a shower.

As James walked through the halls, he saw a fellow teacher that said." Good morning Mr. James. 

James replied in a harsh tone saying."  What do you want?" His tone was immediately hostile, and it seemed like he didn't want to talk to Mr. John. John's facial expression changed to a small frown, and he had to admit that he felt disrespected." Did you have your coffee yet Mr. James? You seem to be quite cranky." John said sarcastically as he took out his phone

James didn't the respond as he bumped past John as he headed for the Teacher's lounge. It wouldn't take long until students would come in, but James had enough time to get a cup of coffee. James saw the different posters that are up, and he had a irritated expression on his face.

However, James's eyes caught a figure coming out of the teacher's lounge, and it was Mrs. Emily. Emily was a prime example for a married Christian woman. James couldn't stand her because she always said that he needs to get rid of the bitterness, and jealousy inside of him. What confused James was how she knew all of that.

"Morning Mr. James, I trust that you had a blessed morning."  Emily said in such a graceful tone as she looked at the muscular blonde teacher. James rolled his eyes as he walked passed her saying." It's fine, and why do you want to know!" James said as he entered the lounge that smelled of fresh coffee.

Emily sighed as she heard his rude tone, and said." Jesus loves you James, and you are in my prayers." James heard that, and he even cringed at her voice.' What did Jesus ever do for me? He has clearly favored my idiotic siblings, and paid me no mind, so screw him.' James thought in his mind as he smelt the hot steaming coffee as he poured it in his cup. As James sipped the coffee, the warm liquid went down his throat which gave him a feeling of pleasure.

"Time to go back to the classroom." James said as he held the coffee cup, and walked out of the lounge, and made his way through the long hallways as the cool hair went down on his white skin.

When he entered the classroom, he already saw some students sitting in their tasks. Even in this school, there were early birds. One of the students said with a smile on his face." Good morning, sir." James looked at him with a annoyed expression on his face, and turned to head to the teacher's desk, and sat in the chair.

The students did not like this class because of the teacher. James was the most hated teacher in the entire school. Even though, he was good at teaching the students. He had pretty terrible personality as he didn't care for the students personally.

As other students came in the classroom,  it didn't take long for the classroom to become noisy. However, James's temper was basically lost right. James slammed his fist on his desk, and yelled so loud that some students fell out of their seats." Shut up, and sit in your bloody seats, or I will write you all up!" The students immediately sat down, and the class became quiet.

Most of the students had frowns on their face, and before James knew it, the bell had sounded." You know what to do, get off your lazy butts, and say the pledges." James demanded out of them.

The students, and James stood up, and proceeded to say the pledge to the flag, and the daily school prayer. Next, James would get up, and activate the Tv. This school used power points, and this helped James out a lot. He connected the USB cord to the Tv, and turned on his computer, and proceeded to teach from ancient Rome. James felt the cold air come down his face as he stood over the vent in the ceiling. He didn't mind it as he did like the cold to a degree.

A student decided to speak out abruptly, and he didn't even raise his hand." Sir, can I ask a question?" 

James did not like this at all, and replied." What irritates me the most is when students interrupt me! What is your question?"

The student was a little startled by the rudeness of the teacher, but he still asked the question.

James quickly answered it, and resumed the lecture. One student looked at James, and thought that he looked dead on the outside, and on the inside. 

In a matter of fact, James did feel weak. James felt that his strength was gone to the point that walking was a chore.

After teaching other classes, the bell for lunch sounded, and the students quickly got up, and walked off to the cafeteria. 

James walked with each step draining his strength as he made his way to where the teacher's ate. He sat in the warm chair, and simply watched as the others ate their food. This concerned Mrs. Emily as James never seemed to eat at school.' Oh Jesus, I pray that James will come back to you.' She said in her thoughts as she resumed eating.

Emily was cared about his salvation, and deeply cared for James. 

Meanwhile, in the spiritual world of things, there was a demon that was on James's back, and on James were chains that were around his neck, legs, and even arms. For every second of the day, the demon whispered in his ear." God doesn't love you. He wants nothing, but misery for you. Look at these other people, and see how they are so up there. They have children, spouses, wonderful talents, and so much more wonderful gifts that God has given them. However, He gave you nothing, but misery, weakness, sadness, and death. Hmph, and He says that He loved the world."

This was on the spiritual side, and James was unaware of it. However, A true child of God would know that something is wrong.

So, one of the teachers decided to share his food with James. James did not feel happy about this out all, but he accepted the offer.

After school had finally ended, James headed to his car is a sluggish fashion, and entered in the car. With one hand, he closed, and locked the door, but he took out his phone with the other hand. He saw that there was a missed call from his brother, but James rolled his eyes, and decided that he will call his brother later. 

He then started the car, and used his hand to put the car in reverse, so he can drive off, and head home. As he drove through the interstate, he envisioned what will happen if he just go on the opposite side. He even heard a deep, dark voice saying." Come on James, are you tried of this pitiful existence? You can end it right now if you get in a head on collision." 

James shook his head, and the voice was gone. James felt like his heart was heavy, and he had plans to get rid of his problems for the day.

After twenty minutes or so, James had made it home, and entered in his lovely home. James smelt the wonderful scented candles that he left burning in his house." Time to forget about the day." As he went, and opened the fridge, his eyes caught a forty that was icy cold. However, he had remembered the missed call. So, he dialed his brother's number, and placed the phone on speaker, while he was unscrewing the large bottle.

His brother sounded with a optimistic tone saying." Hey little brother, how are you doing?"

James sighed as he heard his brother's soft, but beautiful voice." What do you want Alex!" James demanded as he tried to hold back his immense hatred for his brother.

"Come on brother, why don't you cheer up, and come to our sister Lilly's birthday party tomorrow?"  Alex said in a happy tone. Alex heard the tone in his He brother's voice, and knew that his brother had a hatred for him, Jesus, and the whole family.

James sighed in annoyance, and said in a more hostile tone." If I say yes, will you bloody leave me alone!"

Alex's felt like his heart was breaking into a million pieces. However, he remained optimistic, and replied." Of course brother. I love you, and so does the rest of the family. However, the most important thing is that Jesus loves you." Alex then ended the the phone call.

James brought up the bottle, and started to drink down the alcohol from the bottle as he let out his emotions. He felt tears following down his cheeks as he felt the burning of the alcohol down his throat, and the buzz that it gave him.

So, James proceeded to drink the forty until he passed out from drunkenness.
