Des's first class was with a year 7 group. As it was the first day none of them had brought their kits. So they stayed in the changing room all lesson talking about PE and what they were going to do in it. Des also did this for third and fourth lesson but this time with a year 10 and a year 8 group. As the bell went for dinner Des couldn't decide who was more relieved him or the kids. Hearing his belly grumble he made his way up to Reg's room with his dinner.
"How's work?" Asked Des as he entered. He sat down at a desk and opened his bottle of Fanta.
"Interesting. You know they say that a child's mind is the greatest thinker." Reg said enthusiastically. Reg poured a cup of coffee from his flask.
"Found out anything to tell Jack" Des said passing the comment politely. Reg thought for a moment before shaking his head. They carried on munching and discussing the days events when Sheelagh came bursting into the room.
"Your never going to guess what I've just saw!" Sheelagh literally sand with joy.
"What?" Des asked "A snowman skateboarding down the stairs"
"No" Sheelagh laughed playfully hitting his arm "But something nearly as rare as that"
"What?" asked Reg shaking his head
"Sam and Phil hugging!" Laughed Sheelagh.
"Your having a joke!" Laughed Reg
"No, they were eating together in Sam's room talking, when they just leaped into each others arms" Explained Sheelagh dramatically.
"Whilst you were there?" Asked Des surprised.
"No, I was going to see Sam about something and I saw them through the window" Informed Sheelagh delighted. There was a knock at the door and a rather bulky and tall man entered. He set a shadow on the room as he stood in the doorway due to literally blocking it. One other thing Des noticed was the stench he brought as well. It was a mixture between a swetty old trainer and a rotten egg. This was obviously Mr James. One of the teachers the kids had told them about that morning. Looking at Sheelagh he noticed that she had realised this too.
"Sorry to interupt your little group" Mr James began sarcastically "But I need to collect some text books from the cupboard over there". He took long strides across the classroom. Almost as if he was marching. He tuged on the cupboard door but it didn't open.
"You don't happen to have a key for this, do you?" He sighed annoyed
"Here, use mine" Offered Sheelagh detaching her keys from her belt and throwing them to him.
"Mrs Murphy, I don't know what kind of school you worked in before, but at this school we don't throw things across the room, it's a health and safety risk." Mr James muttered handed her back her keys. He collected his books and left.
"Naughty girl!" Chanted Des shaking his head "I'm surprised he didn't give you detention"
"No wonder their having problems in this school if they tell each other off" Examined Reg taking the serious side of the situation as always.
"Yeah, your right, I gotta go get the next lesson ready, Cya tonight" Sheelagh smiled leaving. Des looked at the cupboard then at Reg.
"What some advice?" Asked Des
"Yeah. OK? Smiled Reg thinking Des was serious.
"Bleach that cupboard before you touch it, then you won't catch anything" Des said laughing " Cya later" Des left to take the final lesson of the day.
