Graffiti
Trying to cover the smell, Rachel buried her nose into the front of her coat. It was slightly chilly and the still air did nothing to help the matter, but the students didn't seem to mind.
A new initiative of hers, somewhat stolen from the previous headteacher- her response to complaints about graffiti in town was to approve an art wall on the side of the school. The staircase seemed a little full and she wouldn't allow any more graffiti on the walls. She didn't even want to start complaining about the crude markings on their lockers.
If the kids had nowhere to vent their emotions, they had the wall to do it with. When completed, Kim had already agreed to open her art class after school hours. Rachel had thought of everything. If the students didn't want to stay at school, she had already discussed an initiative with a local charity, who would search for projects similar to hers.
Choking on the fumes of the spray paint, she buried her nose deeper before yelling out to one of the boys nearby.
"The wall, Aaron!" she shouted in exasperation. "Not Ruby, thank you!"
"Miss, did you see that?" the girl yelled, despite the headteacher having intervened seconds ago.
Rachel buried her nose back into her zipped coat, chilled hands slipping into her pockets. It wasn't what she enjoyed but if the students were happy and off the streets, how could she say no?
It's the 50th prompt! I guess it's time to say thank you for everything- to all those who have favourited, followed, reviewed, and just read it. It means a lot and I wasn't sure if this would get any interest because, let's be honest, this fandom is dead. But I was pleasantly surprised and it's nice to see people still clinging onto the show and Reddie as much as I am :')
It's a 365 prompt list so there's way more to come... This is going to be a long ride.
