After showing Amanda around the school and making sure she would be okay Eddie began to prepare her for the morning briefing she would have to do to the staff. But he began to get the feeling she wasn't listening to him. Especially since she was now spinning on the chair at her desk.
"Rach…I mean Amanda are you listening to me? You need to listen to what I am saying." Eddie complained.
Amanda stopped swinging in the desk chair and looked at Eddie. "No I wasn't listening Eddie." She confessed which made Eddie raise his eyebrows a little. "But come on Eddie do you really expect me to remember everything you have just said. Get a grip man. Now I will just take this…" Amanda grabbed the bit of paper Eddie had been holding and looked at it. "I will just read from this and we can hope for the best." Amanda smiled.
Eddie just stared at her. This was never going to work. He could see it now. Steph Haydock would sniff something out; it would be all over the school that Rachel Mason was acting like a seventeen year old. She would be fired that would be it and let's face it; it would be all over the school that he was dating someone that acted as if she were seventeen again. It was going to end in disaster. He knew it would.
"You know this could be more fun that I thought it would. Are there any hot guys around?" Amanda said pulling Eddie out of his thoughts.
"What? No. Listen to me you need to keep as low a profile as you can. You will stay in this room unless I am with you. Do you hear me?"
"Aw come on Eddie don't be boring. It's not as if I am going to set the place on fire am I?"
"I mean it Amanda. In here all day unless I am with you!" Eddie snapped.
"Fine! Whatever you say!" Amanda huffed.
Eddie looked down at his watch and gasped. "God we better head to the staff room. Right come on." Eddie grabbed Amanda's hand and practically dragged her out of the office.
"Erm…Eddie I can walk myself you know. I am a big girl now!" Amanda said.
Eddie sighed and he let go of her hand. Rachel as a teenager was a handful. He pushed the door of the staffroom open and let Amanda in first. She walked in and peered round to see a room full of people. She swallowed a little and then her eyes landed on a man. A man stood by the kitchenette with brunette hair, blue eyes and with a ruff looking way.
"Edd…Eddie who is that man over there?" Amanda whispered.
"Erm…that's Tom Clarkson. He's one of the English teachers." Eddie whispered back.
"Oh my god he is so hot!" Rachel said in a quiet squeal.
Eddie rolled his eyes. Things just got a lot harder, now he had to try keep her away from Tom. He nudged her a little and nodded over to the crowd of people.
Amanda coughed and managed to gain everyone's attention. She glanced down at the sheet and tried to think what to say. "Okay erm…well there's a staff meeting thingy at the end of that day, and erm there's some kinda football training thing at lunch time. And there's an art display in the hall so go check that out I guess if you want." Amanda then frowned a little as she felt an elbow in her side. She looked up at Eddie who was now giving her a look as if to say 'be professional'. She rolled her eyes and looked back at the paper. "I think that's everything I need to say so I won't bore you anymore. I'll be in my office doing whatever I do with my time."
Amanda then turned on her heel and began to walk out of the room. Everyone stared after her not sure what to think. Steph stood up and walked over to Eddie.
"Eddie is Rachel okay? She seemed to be acting a little…well weird." Steph inquired.
"Yea, of course she's fine. Totally fine. Her usual self would you believe. I gotta go." Eddie said quickly making his way out of the room. He quickly ran up the corridor and caught up with Amanda. "I said be professional."
"I was! As professional as I could be." Amanda shrugged. "Anyway where is Tom's classroom?"
"Why?"
"Just wondering."
"Amanda you cannot go flirting or whatever with Tom. As far as everyone is concerned you are my girlfriend." Eddie said.
"Oh god I forgot about that." Amanda groaned. "Can't you just say we have broken up?"
"No I can't say we have broken up!" Eddie exclaimed. "Can't you just make this just a bit easier for me? I am trying to figure out to how change you back and with that and then teaching and running the school because I can't leave you to that I just…Forget it. Just go into your office and stay there." Eddie said pointing through to the office.
Amanda crossed her arms over her chest. "God my life is so unfair!" She then stomped through to the office and slammed the door behind her.
Eddie ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. This is far too stressful. I basically just told my girlfriend off and sent her to her room. Far to weird!
