The sun shone high above the streets of Glasgow. It shone, shadowing onto a brick building where children were in the playground playing, chatting, dancing doing anything to pass the time before the next bell went for next lesson.
Of course the brick building belonged to a certain Waterloo Road School. Two teachers stood there one smoking the other drinking a cup of tea, slurping at every point possible. Eddie was the teacher who was smoking and tom was enjoying his warm cup of tea.
Rachel was in her office, looking out the window onto the playground watching over the students in the school as the newly instated Rachel Mason, since Jack Rimmer did a runner with a Miss Davina Shakleton just one term after headship. So Rachel Mason took the place with Joyce her new PA.
In the staffroom was the usual suspects, Grantly Budgin, an old teacher who was quick witted and knowledgeable and an English teacher. Steph haydock the unforgettable French teacher. Then there was Izzie, drama teacher with two daughters Mika and Chlo. Nikki Boston English and Deputy head, in charge of disruptive students. And finally Lorna English also engaged to Tom Clarkson.
