Apologies.
Set on the first day back at school. Rachel has not spoken to Chris and has been avoiding him ever since 'that night'.
Rachel slammed her car door shut, locked the car, and quickly walked to her office. She pushed open the door and stopped in her tracks. Chris was sitting on her desk, waiting for her.
"You can't avoid me forever Rach," he said.
"Chris not now. I have loads of work to do" she replied.
Chris held up his hands in defeat. He shook his head and left the office. Rachel shut the door behind him and leant against it, breathing deeply. She took a seat at her desk and began to work.
The bell rang signalling the end of registration. Rachel continued to work. Kim knocked on the door and entered.
"Rach. What are you doing? You have assembly now. All the kids are waiting." Kim told her.
Rachel swore under her breath and jumped from the chair. She and Kim raced down the corridor. Rachel composed herself and entered the hall.
"Now, I hope you all had an excellent Christmas and are ready to work really hard this term!" she called out, signalling for the children to go to their lessons.
Rachel stepped down from the stage and left the hall. Chris ran after her. She grabbed her wrist and spun her round.
"Please Rach. Talk to me"
