Chapter One

The start of the new year had come, after Waterloo Road closed its doors some four years ago, the Greenock council had decided that Waterloo Road was a much-needed asset to the community and schools in the local area were over stretched with the number of students. The local education authority had decided that Waterloo Road was going to be headed by none other than Rachel Mason, one of the best headteachers that Waterloo Road had ever seen. Alongside Rachel the senior management team of the school consisted of Kim Campbell, Head of Pastoral Care and Eddie Lawson, deputy head.

Over the summer the senior management met at the local council to discuss details and hiring of new teachers. Of course, for Rachel it was a shock to see Eddie there after he left with her sister all those years ago, but never the less she couldn't deny that Eddie was a good deputy head. It had been nine years since all of them had worked together, Eddie had been a deputy at another school nearby, Kim had been a head of a local gallery and Rachel worked until recently as an admin assistant to Adam Fleet's restaurant.

The morning had arrived, the sun shone through her window, in a five bedroomed mansion, as it rose in the east, slowly followed by the annoying tone of her alarm clock by her bed telling her that it was indeed 6am and she needed to get up. Rachel sat up and stretched her arms and smiled to herself as she knew the day had arrived where Waterloo Road was to open their doors to just under 1000 students. Rachel slipped out of bed and got herself ready for the day in her new black suit consisting of black trousers, white shirt and suit jacket. She checked herself in her full-length mirror and smiled and then walked out to the bedroom opposite.

"Liv, darling its time to wake up" Rachel said gently shaking her daughter

"Mmm, Do I have too?" Liv asked rolling over.

"Yes, don't go all teenager on me now" Rachel smirked "Up, showered and changed, breakfast club is at seven thirty" Rachel said heading for the door.

"Eurgh, its too early" Liv groaned.

"See you downstairs in twenty minutes ready to go" Rachel smiled walking out.

Olivia Fleet was the only child of Rachel and Adam, although they had tried to have another baby, it never succeeded for them. Olivia was only just nine years old, she attended the local primary school and was the youngest in her class. Rachel was now forty-two.

Rachel was eating her cereal whilst sat at the table, she turned on her phone to a full battery after being on charge all night and straight away a text came through.

Signed the divorce papers tonight, hope your happy. Adam

Rachel sighed, divorce was the last thing she wanted to do after a happy marriage on nine years, but she found out that Adam had been seeing his sous-chef, Michelle, for the past six months behind her back. Rachel only worked on three days a week and it turns out, his late nights in the office were actually spent at Michelle's house. The final straw was when Michelle came onto shift and demanded new uniform because she was pregnant, it wasn't until Rachel put two and two together she found out that Adam was the father of her baby, she gave him something Rachel couldn't give him in recent years.
