Chapter 2

At School

Miss Rachel Mason was the head of Waterloo Road and Mr Eddie Lawson was deputy head. Rachel and Eddie had a history but they decided end their relationship just before the start of school. Eddie still loved Rachel but she had decided it was best (he had got her sister pregnant). Rachel sister Mellissa was locked up for bigamy, as she was married to her son's dad and another man and was about to marry Eddie.

Paul Langley was the first to arrive at school with his uncle by his side. Paul's uncle looked after him as his mother committed suicide when Paul was little. As for his dad, he had left his mom before he even born.

"Would you like to take a seat in the hall, when everyone arrives we will have an assembly," Rachel smiled at Paul and his uncle.

"Go on Paul," His uncle shoved him into the hall. "I'm going, now be good; I don't want any reports on you being bad, you understand?" His uncle shouted.

Paul just nodded and went to sit in the hall.

The Kelly's and Kyle Stack arrived next. "Move it mate," Earl shoved Kyle.

"Get your hands off me man," Kyle shoved him back. Earl threw a punch at Kyle knocking him to the floor. Kyle quickly jumped up and punched Earl, hard. Eddie ran over to them breaking them up.

"What the hell are you doing?" Eddie shouted at the two boys.

"He started it Sir," Kyle pushed Earl again.

"Stop it you two," Rachel came over to them, grabbing Earl.

"Get your hand off me," Earl shouted at Rachel. "Who are you anyway?"

"I'm the head of this school, who the hell are you?" Rachel shouted at the boy.

"Your worst nightmare," Earl said as he broke free of Rachel.

"Come on Earl," Marley said heading towards the hall. Earl's nose was bleeding badly.

"I'll take him to the nurse," Marley said. "Where is it?"

"Down the corridor 2nd door on your right," Eddie said. "You," Eddie said to Kyle. "Go with them and try not to get in any more fights, there is zero tolerance on violence," He said looking at Kyle's bloody face.

The 3 boys walked off down the corridor, Kyle staying behind Earl and his brother.

"Flaming hell, it's the first day and there's already been a fight," Eddie said to Rachel. Rachel didn't say anything.

Mr Chris Mead walked through the front door of the school smiling. He took one look at Eddie and Rachel and new something was up. His smile quickly turned into a frown.

"There was a fight," Rachel said reading Chris's expression.

"Yeah I know," Eddie frowned. "And these 2 boys look like trouble makers."
