Thank you for the reviews.

Shall we start the happy stuff? Yeah? I mean, it is Christmas... Or near enough


Day Twenty-Two - School is saved

Inspection day and if Rachel wasn't already on edge, she was extremely nervous as she followed the man around as he wrote things down and ticked off things.

It wasn't even in her office that they got the news. Out in the foyer, long after all the students had gone home, he turned to Rachel and Eddie, saying more words than he had said to them all day.

"There is still a long way to go. But for now, it is a start. Waterloo Road will remain open."

The relief washed over both of them. They had done it.
