Chapter 3
The morning had been a good one. They had started with the people watching. There was the normal start of term routine where people turned up for the parade into the playground before form class. The normal drib drab who can't be bothered with the start of term turned up first followed by the popular group who always looked amazing, then those who over did the beginning of the term by wearing silly outfits over their uniforms, and of course the legendary Rick Kennedy who turned up with a ear piercing, a streak of red hair and black make-up around his eyes.
Their first day was usually made up of chatting catching up and gossiping about who got with whom over summer. Formally they were given timetables, diaries, ID cards and the usual set up for term. They only had a half day as normal lessons started the next day. But before they left they had to attend assembly. This was a normal occurrence, to give out warnings and information and to introduce any new members of staff.
This year Mr Brix introduced the three new members of staff, Mr March the new math teacher, Mr Hood the new science teacher and Ms Askew a new English teacher. Notices were given and warnings made and then they were dismissed.
Trisha and Frankie left first because they were closest to the door and, grabbing their bags from the pile outside, headed for the door to freedom. But just as they reached it they heard a voice call out Frankie's name and turned to see Mr Brix heading toward them,
'Francesca Love?'
'Yes, that's me.'
'Yes well that's very good and you must be Trisha Davis?'
'Yes.'
'Well that's excellent. I have received nominations for you Francesca to be the new president of the council and for you Miss Trisha to be the vice-president. I need to know if you willing to run for two such positions. Is that acceptable?'
The girls looked shocked, amazed who had recommended them? It had to be a teacher no student would; only the popular crowd usually got these positions out of...well popularity!
'Erm…yes, we are…aren't we Frankie!' Said Trisha, the first to speak.
'Umm...yes…yes…'
'Well good good. Hope to speak to you again soon then girls, have a good afternoon.'
Stunned the girls turned and head once again to the doors as Mr Brix walked toward his office.
They stayed silent all the way to the bus stop and only once on the bus spoke again.
'Who in friggin' hell would recommend us? There's no way we'll win but, why would someone recommend us…?'
'Don't ask me I'm baffled! Who is mad enough! Wait a second shouldn't they have asked us first I mean to check if we wanted to run for those positions. Who the heck…'
They sat confused for a second.
Behind them came a deep creamy voice 'Sorry, I thought that you two would be good at those jobs, but if you don't want to, you can just tell them so.'
Rather shocked Frankie and Trisha registered that voice to belong to Ben Miller, and still utterly shocked turned to confirm these suspicions.
'Sorry, but really I think you'd be really good...' His voice faded as he tried to justify his actions.
'No… it's fine really, it just came as a bit of a shock you know… you recommending …us... him telling us. Well it was just a bit of a shock really. But thanks, for you know…well it was just really…kind you know…' Frankie faded off and glanced at Trisha who had a rather funny look on her face.
'Yea, don't worry about it…' She said turning to Ben now, that same look on her face. 'We'll try and do what we can, if you think we'd be good I'm sure we would be. It was ever so kind of you to think of us, don't you agree Frankie?' Looking back at her friend she smiled.
'Yes…yes…'
'Well this is our stop so see you around Ben; by the way I hope you had a nice holiday!'
The girls climbed off and they walked toward their houses which where two streets apart.
Ben could have gotten off too, but he got off at the next stop and took the ally home. He was confused as to the expression on Trisha's face and the way she had emphasised how he'd treated them kindly. Well he hadn't he just had acted on an idea.
He sighed, resigned to confusion.
Five streets away Frankie signed in frustration at Trisha's comment as they walked away from the bus.
Another two streets away Trisha sighed in resignation to the fact that Ben Miller was in love with Frankie and she couldn't even see it, even after Trisha had pointed it out.
Ah well another start of term had begun.
Ok that's all for now….time to review…
