Chapter 8.
Friday had approached fast for some who found themselves in love, but slowly for others who had a week in detention. The sun had just arose at 6.45am where Rachel was up, showered and dressed waiting to go and wake up the girls for another day of lessons. Rachel found the first week back at Waterloo Road Boarding School very tough and challenging due to many of the pupils disobedience. Rachel finished slipping on her black heels onto her feet and began making her way out of her bedroom, locking her door behind her – as teachers were the only ones who had the ability to lock their doors - when she caught sight of Eddie walking in the direction she was heading.
"Good morning Eddie." Shouted Rachel, not all that loud in case she woke other members of staff but loud enough for Eddie to turn his body around in 180 degrees angle.
"Rachel, good sleep?" replied Eddie as he waited until Rachel had finally caught up with her.
"Wasn't too bad, was a bit wrestles thinking about the weekend ahead of us. It's sure going to be challenging." Eddie automatically knew exactly what Rachel was talking about as they began finishing their way down the corridor where the staff bedrooms were situated.
"Oh, I know." Eddie hesitated for a second as he thought things through in his head. "Why don't you call an assembly after lesson 5, so we can inform the pupils what behaviour we are expecting this weekend?"
"Doesn't sound like all a bad idea? Good thinking Eddie. Do you think you could alert the teachers, I have a hectic morning this morning." Replied Rachel, as she took her first step onto the wide, old fashioned stairs that led them both downstairs.
"Ok and what are your plans for tonight? Do you want to go and get a drink or something?" questioned Eddie in hope that Rachel's response will be a yes. He knew Rachel wasn't drinker but all he wanted to do was take some stress off her shoulders and let her relax for a few hours.
"Yeah, why not. I've got to dash Eddie but I will catch up with you at lunch. Thanks for your help Eddie. I will see you later." Explained Rachel as she gave him a quick smile and began making her way towards the girl's corridor leaving Eddie to go in the opposite direction to the boy's.
Meanwhile in room G101, and G102 twelve tired, sleepy girls where all sound asleep, all cosy and warm under their pink, blue, stripy, dotted duvets dreaming of much better things that school – like boys, and their fantastic weekend ahead.
"Girls come on, time to get up," Rachel shouted to the six girls in room G101 as she opened their bedroom door which was covered in a collage of magazine cuttings. Danielle was lying at the edge of her beg with her arm dangling off the side but got an awful fright when Rachel entered the room causing her to fall right off the edge of her bed onto the cold, wooden floor face first.
"God, next time, do you want to please try and be a little quieter." Said Danielle in a tired, quiet voice completely unknown of who she was actually speaking to. She pressed her arms against the floor attempting to sit up and turn around – Danielle always had really bad bed hair and when she turned around all the girls chuckled at Danielle's gorgeous, short ginger hair completely sticking up towards the ceiling – of course Hollie wasn't part of this as she still remained sleeping.
"Oh… Eh… Sorry Miss, I didn't realise it was you." Stuttered Danielle and began to make her way into the en-suite bathroom as she obviously was the one needing the longer time to get ready with bed hair like hers. Rachel sniggered to herself – even she found Danielle's hair rather funny.
"HOLLIE! UP NOW Please!" Hollie stirred, moaned and groaned before finally sitting upright in her bed. With one eye peeking out and the other screwed up due to the overhead bedroom light being too bright for her. Rachel left the girls to get ready and made her way to the other rooms to waken up the other pupils.
Jess decided at 7.00am she wanted some music on to keep her lively and awake. She turned the TV on with the Sky remote and pressed in numbers '361' on the remote which brought up her favourite music channel 'KISS." A few minutes later Jess, Vicki and Aleesha were up dancing around the room to 'DJ Got Us Falling in Love Again' full blast having a right laugh at each other, while Michaela lay in her bed not amused at all by the girls, and not amused by the volume of the music – as she was not a morning person at all – while Hollie logged onto her laptop that she sneaked into the school to check up on her Facebook.
