"Peace offering?" Nikki says. "Yeah. I have been a bit of a bitch today. I'm sorry" "It's ok. First day as headteacher is tough but you did a great job. We're better off without Michael and Lorraine."

Christine stays quiet, thinking about what happened between her and Michael. All along, she'd been lead to believe he loved her but he'd just used her. Tears fell down her cheek. Nikki noticed this and walked up to her and asked "What's wrong?" "I was wrong to let Michael into my life, I genuinely thought he loved me but no. I couldn't see through him until the end" Christine cried and Nikki hugged Christine. "Shh. It's going to be ok. Sometimes we let the wrong people in but we learn from those mistakes" "Thanks Nikki. You are actually nice, despite what people think of you" "I wouldn't say that. Sometimes I have been a bit bitchy and jumped to conclusions" "But right now, you're being nice and sympathetic. Plus you're listening and not judging" "That's because I have been judged before by people and it hurt when they didn't accept me"

They looked at each other but in a way they had never done before. Christine knew what that look was and decided to be brave for once and kissed Nikki. At first, Nikki was a bit taken aback but she went along with it. They heard the door open, hoping it was just Sonya. But it was worse...it was Lorraine. Nikki couldn't believe it and could see the hurt in Lorraine's eyes. "Lorraine I can explain!" "Explain? You didn't even give me a chance to say what I wanted to say to you. I came back to try and sort things out but I can't do that now! YOU BITCH! OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDN'T LOVE ME!" Lorraine ran off, sobbing. Nikki couldn't contain the tears either. "Go and get her Nikki!" "What?" "Go on...you obviously need to sort stuff out with her..I understand" Nikki ran off to try and salvage what she could with Lorraine.
