This story will mainly be in Lofty's POV at least for the first few chapters, I will say if it isn't, please enjoy my first crossover

I Won't Let You Fall

Chapter 1 – New Job

Ben or 'Lofty' as people called him after he was found living in a loft got out his car and walked towards the school. Lofty had originally been a nurse but after an incident where they had lost a patient he had cared about he decided to leave and go into teaching. School didn't start for an hour yet so it was deserted with only a few cars in the car park for teachers who had wanted to get in early. Lofty walked in and told the receptionist who he was and she took him to the head teachers, Christine Mulgrew's, office.

After the introductions and a tour of the school he was invited into the staffroom where he was introduced to his fellow co-workers. This was his first job in a school after all he had just qualified he wasn't sure what to make of this bunch of people yet. As he was a NQT he was asked to sit in on some other lessons before he started teaching himself, he thought this would be a good opportunity.

The teacher he was observing was named Nikki Boston he could tell already she had a fierce personality and he soon learned she was once in the army which might be the reason why. He was looking forward to his first lesson which happened to be sixth formers; the quiet classroom soon was filled with ruckus as a class of rowdy 18 and 19 year olds walked in. Lofty was surprised how much noise was coming from the classroom when just a few minutes ago it had been silent.

"OI SIT DOWN NOW ALL OFF YOU" shouted Nikki Boston

There was a lot of moving and sound of chairs scrapping across the floor as pupils sat in their seats. Nikki started to teach the pupils seemed not to be interested in the topic at all and some had even fallen asleep. Nikki looked up and saw a boy sat at the front on his mobile. She walked from her desk to the student.

"Barry, Phone away you are in class!" she said but the boy didn't even acknowledge her

"BARRY I SAID PHONE AWAY!" she demanded but after the boy continued to ignore her she walked towards him and took his phone.

"WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT THAT'S STEALING THAT IS! The boy said in a deep scouser accent as he stood up

"I asked you to put it away Barry you didn't you can have it back at end of the day"

"That's a loud of crap!"

"OI WATCH YOUR MOUTH"

"GIVE ME MY PHONE"

"No you can have it at the end of the day, now sit down!"

Instead of sitting down Barry kicked his chair which fell over; the teacher seemed to have no patience with this pupil

"BARRY PICK THAT UP NOW!"

"MAKE ME"

"RIGHT I HAVE HAD ENOUGH WITH YOU, COOLER NOW!"

The boy grabbed his bag and walked out the door making sure to give it an extra hard slam but made sure to take his phone of the desk first and Nikki didn't seem to be able to stop him. Lofty was amazed that this teacher was having a fight with an eighteen year old and lost, the rest of the class seemed to go more smoothly, though Nikki did have to tell the pupils a few times to put iPods or phones away.

Finally the class was over, students hurried out the class for their break as Nikki sat at her desk, Lofty wanted to ask her something.

"That boy you send to the cooler?"

"Oh Barry Barry, he is a nuisance"

"Oh is he?"

"Yes! He has two younger sisters Dynasty and Kacey, they aren't so bad though they have their moments, Barry on the other hand never seems to be easy to handle and flies of the handle at the smallest of things"

"So he goes cooler a lot?"

"Of course he does! he is in there a couple hours each day, if not the whole day, it's practically his second home!"

"Well maybe something is bothering him, he might need counselling"

"What that boy needs is a good slap!"

They walked to the staffroom for break, Lofty didn't like the way the teacher had talked about Barry like she had already given up on him, Lofty was on 'cooler duty' next so he would get to deal with Barry himself.
