Fics like If the Stars Could Smile

Simon had been working at the middle school for barely two months, and somehow, everyone already knew who he was. The students knew him as the new metals teacher with one arm who could somehow demonstrate every project better than they could. The faculty knew him as competent, punctual, and impossible to read. The boys' wrestling team knew him as the coach who had accidentally embarrassed their own coach during a demonstration match. And the girls' wrestling team? The girls' wrestling team seemed to know everything. Or at least they acted like they did. "Coach Simon, do you know Dr. Grace?" How could Simon NOT know who Dr. Grace was? -OR- A teacher AU.
