That was four years ago and Jen now found herself as the assistant principal. Why had she put her hand up for the role. Not only was she the head of the Visual arts/photography department but was now also in charge of putting together this semesters course time table. How was she going to keep everyone happy?

"Knock knock" came a voice at the door

"Enter at your own risk" replied Jen

" Come on Gilmore, you would your about to be thrown to the Lions" laughed Rebecca

"Aren't I? They will tear me apart if I get it wrong"

"Then Don't" and with that Rebecca sat at the seat in front of Jens desk.

Rebecca was a fellow teacher at the school. John Paul and Jen had met her out one night. The three had got talking and they had discussed opening up the Arts College. Rebecca had told them about her days studying music at the Juilliard School in New York City and traveling the world playing back up for all kinds of artists and how she was over life on the road but the thought of giving up on her passion killed her. That's when they sold her on the idea of getting onboard and running their music department.

" You can't hide in here all night you know "

" Why not? " said Jen with a cheeky grin " Fine" she sighed "Lets Go"

Jen gathered her folders and headed for the staff common room. As Jen approached the door she could already hear lots of talking and whispering. It was that moment that the decision was made that she would have to go in confident and show no signs of weakness. Jen took a deep breath counted to three.

" Sorry to keep you all waiting" she said as she pushed through the door. Placing her folders down on the table, she proceeded to hand out copies of the schedule to everyone.

" Now I promise I've tried to keep everyone happy, this is what I think is best for us to have a successful semester. So lets go through department heads one last time and then I shall ask that if you have any questions you can come and see me afterwards. Now if you could wait till we're at the Dog and I have a glass of wine in my hand that would be even better. So without anymore waiting…. Rebecca Blackmore will be head of our music and sound engineering programs, John Paul Drama, Esther Bloom…. your our design leader. That's Fashion, costume and set…. with the help of the Arts department of course. Brian Green Photography and I will over see the Visual Arts department with the assistance of Chris White. Ok that's it guys, as I said if you have any questions you can come speak to me or you can direct questions to your department heads. Your free to go and I hope see you all at the Dog in the next half hour, so we can all share in a toast to the coming year. The 1st rounds on me"
