Yay, chapter ten already! I know it's technically cheating, since I just posted like five chapters all at once when really I probably should have just put them all together into one chapter, but... oh well. Now the couple stuff starts! Hope you enjoy.
Chapter Ten
It's once again, morning, and Sam and Zola are stood outside homeroom awaiting Vice Principal Sloan's arrival.
Today, it is different.
He storms into the room, and he seems annoyed.
They press their ears against the door, and are able to make out the gist of the conversation.
I've been signed up to chaperone the school skiing trip!
It's your own fault for treating students like personal assistants! You're lucky the punishment isn't anything worse!
It's YOUR fault for complaining about me in the first place!
MY fault!
They back away quickly as Vice Principal Sloan storms back out, and feel sorry for the students who will have to deal with Ms. Montgomery's anger for the next few periods.
Today, Vice Principal Sloan and Ms. Montgomery fight, and it is brutal.
But today, at lunch, Vice Principal Sloan brings Ms. Montgomery a cupcake.
A peace offering.
She smashes it in his face – apparently he deserves it – but he doesn't get angry, only wipes frosting away from his eyes and tugs her inside his office to talk.
When they leave, she is still irritable and he's still moody but the problem has been resolved.
Today, they tear each other apart and apologise.
Today, Hattie passes by the roster for the school skiing trip and sees that Ms. Montgomery has signed up as a chaperone.
