Tomorrow
Finally. The last day of the summer term was upon them, promising six weeks of heavenly bliss. Whatever that comprised of. For Rachel, she was merely happy to have gotten through her first year at Waterloo Road. Nothing had stopped her. Not even Hordley.
Grinning, she rounded the corner, nearly bumping into a scowling Eddie. Hands in his pockets, he glanced across at her. Sullen, no doubt, from his shift in the corridors during break-time.
"Smile," she grinned. "It's nearly over."
He scoffed, watching the students pass. "I won't be happy till the bell rings tomorrow, at the end of the day."
Rachel wouldn't let him dampen her mood, thinking of the spelling bee competition and the football match with Forest Mount. They were going to crush them.
"Well, I, for one, am looking forward to tomorrow," she told him. His raised brow only made her smile more. "I don't know what it is but I have a good feeling about it. It'll be a day to remember."
She was already moving on, brushing past him. With a grin tugging at his lips, he called after her.
"Oh, yeah? You're starting to sound like an optimist."
Rachel flashed him one last smile before she left, enjoying the banter. Yet, there was plenty to be done before the next day started. She would make sure this term ended with a bang; the students deserved that much. And so did she.
