Woo, I got two reviewers! Thankyou!
I'm mentioning teachers in this... And I wasn't sure if I should put their first names or not... Anyways here's chapter two!
In Jasmine Koreshi's English class, two girls were either extremely late or were bunking the lesson. Jasmine sighed as she came to Aleesha and Danielle's names in the register and made a note to inform Miss Mason or Mr Lawson of their absence. This wasn't the first time either that Aleesha and Danielle had failed to come to class on time and she knew that the new PE teacher had something to do with it. Suddenly two giggling figures came crashing through the door.
"Aleesha, Danielle, where have you been? Class started fifteen minutes ago" Miss Koreshi asked, raising her voice on fifteen minutes.
"Sorry miss, had to er, collect something" Aleesha laughed, obviously hiding something behind her back.
"Alright hand it over" The frustrated teacher demanded, holding her hand out
"Hand what over miss?" Aleesha replied, trying to act innocent.
"Aleesha don't play games with me, you are fifteen minutes late, you come in and disrupt my class, I am not in the mood for silly childish behaviour have you got that? Now hand it over" Miss Koreshi shouted, making everyone jump. Aleesha reluctantly pulled out a sports shirt out from behind her and gave it to her teacher.
"I'll assume that this belongs to Mr Cleaver?"
"Yes miss, sorry," Both Aleesha and Danielle apologised and sat down quickly, staring at their desks.
"Right I'll be back in a minute, you girls, with me at lunchtime, this is stealing and it will not be tolerated in this school have you got that?" Miss Koreshi ordered, " Class, begin reading the first chapter of your 'Of Mice and Men books' and I expect you to be able to answer questions on it when I return okay" She added before walking quickly out the door in the direction of the PE department.
Chlo and Donte were in English class also but were with Grantly Budgeon, one of the scariest teachers at Waterloo Road but had been known to be nice at some points in the year but often, he was very bad tempered. Chlo was looking extremely worried now, she got out her calculator and did some working out from some piece of paper Donte had just given her and she turned very pale.
"Donte how much have you spent on DVDs?" Chlo hissed, as Grantly arrived and gave everyone a look that said shut up now or else.
"Don't worry babes, I got it all sorted." Donte hissed back and was shortly silenced with a warning glare from his moody teacher. Chlo looked worriedly at Donte and turned her attention to the board where Grantly was standing, waiting for the class to give him their full attention.
"Now you're finished, I will be handing out your English folders, we'll be sorting through coursework and what needs to be re-done which, for some," Grantly looked around at everyone," is everything" He finished and began handing out folders.
"Donte, seriously, the credit cards already have so much on them, the house money hasn't even come through yet, don't you think we're going slightly.." Chlo started but was cut off by Donte,
"Chlo look, you've got your hairdressing, that's bringing in cash, and these DVD's are gonna be a success babe stop worrying!"
Chlo looked doubtful but decided not to argue anymore and to just get on with the work.
Flick looked down at her note board, she'd only gotten five opinions on how school could be changed. Sure she wasn't head girl anymore but she wanted to help out Marley and whoever the new head girl would be. Wait, what was she doing? Was she really doing this to help or was she doing this to be close to Marley Kelly? Flick shook her head and chucked the note board in the bin and hurried to her first class.
"Ah Miss Mellor nice of you to join us, take a seat" Eddie Lawson said happily, pointing at the only seat left.
Flick froze and made no attempt to move. That empty seat was next to Marley.
"Flick? Hello?" Eddie waved a hand in front of her face making the rest of the class laugh.
"Oh, yes sir, sorry," Flick mumbled and walked over to the seat, not looking at Marley.
Marley looked up as someone rushed through the door. It was Flick. Eddie had been late himself to class for reasons he would not share and so didn't see any point in telling off Flick for being a few minutes later than himself. He looked away when his maths teacher pointed at the seat next to him and he briefly saw Flick look shocked and thought she would refuse but she didn't. She'd came and sat next to him which was something but she couldn't look at him. He wondered what was going on at home now that Flick had been found out, in a rather embarrassing way as someone who had been taking drugs. Her dad was a very proud man and Flick could have ruined his reputation so who knew what was going on. Now Marley was close to her, he could see that she had not been looking after herself too well, her hair wasn't its usual perfect style, there was no make-up or anything, so who knew what was going on at home.
"Flick..." Marley sighed sadly, not meaning to make himself heard, he blushed when she turned and raised her eyebrows at him.
"Yeah?" She asked, slightly surprised that she was being spoken to.
"Oh, um," Marley was mentally kicking himself now, he hadn't meant to let that out, but he was saved when Eddie asked for all of their attention as he was going to explain what they were doing today. Flick turned back to the board, disappointment showing clearly on her face.
Janeece knew that she was going to be so bored in her music lesson with Matt Wilding, he was taking the register when he called out Maxine, no one answered. Janeece felt an angry feeling, Maxine was ditching education as well for this Earl Kelly.
"Maxine? Anyone seen her?" Matt asked, scanning the room for answers until his eyes fell on Janeece
"Dunno sir." Janeece muttered loud enough for him to hear
"Oh" Matt looked surprised and marked her as absent and carried on down the register.
Janeece was fed up of Maxine walking all over her and just running back whenever her and Earl had an argument. Maxine seemed to have no respect for her 'best friend'. She expected Janeece to lie to Steph Haydock about her whereabouts most nights and had even got Chlo involved too and Janeece knew that one day, Maxine would regret it one way or another.
Maxine and Earl Kelly were hiding in the kitchens. They were waiting for Rose, Earl's mother, to pass them.
"Psst hey, mum," Earl hissed, getting Rose's attention.
"Earl? Maxine? What the hell are you doing down here out of class?" she whispered back, looking out for Candice.
"Gimme the house keys, me n' Maxine are getting outta here" Earl said, holding out his hand as Rose got the keys out
"Oh Earl you can't just walk out of school, Steph'll go mental if Maxine skips education" Rose complained, changing her mind and went to put the keys back in her pocket but Earl leapt up and snatched them away and pulled Maxine away out of the kitchen, Rose marching after them shouting to come back. Candice had been upstairs in the office to see Rachel and give a report on Rose's progress which was really rather good and had come back down to see Rose standing at the door way yelling from it at what seemed like nothing.
"Rose? Problem?" Candice asked, her arms folded and she looked unimpressed.
"Me? Heh... nope, right, what needs doing?" Rose laughed nervously and took one last look at where the teenagers had just been before they'd run off. Rose did not need this at the moment. This was meant to be a fresh start, she had one last chance before social services took her children away. One was already away from her. Denzil. She was still sure he was innocent, but there was so much evidence against him.
"Those pans need washing, then you can start on the chips for lunch." Candice ordered before smiling slightly to herself.
Sam was in PE at the time with the much talked about Rob Cleaver. She was desperately trying to remember why she had heard the names Paul Langley and Bolton Smilie before. Her brother complained about them on the first day. Why? She wasn't sure.
"Okay class I'm sorry I'm late everyone up up up and give me two laps round the field, go." Rob shouted, running towards them from the changing rooms. He was running late because he had to get another shirt because his one he had before he'd had a shower from Bolton's training was mysteriously gone by the time he'd finished his shower.
"Hey, Sam? You in there?" the rest of the class were up on their feet half way round the field and Sam was the only one sitting down as she was deep in thought.
"She's thinking about Paul" One of the girls teased, Sam looked up quickly, she hated her year group. They were all pathetic girly girls and Sam didn't get on with any of them.
"Shut it you" Sam snapped and got up with the others
"Oooooh" all the girls this time cried, Sam had had enough with everything and walked off.
"Sam, Sam" Rob shouted after her.
Sam didn't reply, she just walked faster and made her way towards the kitchen.
"Mum" Sam called, wandering through the kitchen
"Sam? What're you doing love? You're not walking out too are you?" Rose pleaded.
"What? No, I, I just need to calm down, I'll go back in a bit." Sam said.
"Okay love, just, make sure Candice doesn't see you, I'm not exactly her favourite person at the moment, you get back to class as soon as you feel like it, I don't need social services on my back about my kids truanting" Rose smiled, continuing work
"Okay, I'm just going to take the long way back to PE and just ." Sam said before giving her mother a hug and walking back out of the kitchen. What both of them didn't know was that Candice had been watching the whole thing and thought to herself that Rose was a struggling single mother trying her best to make a better life for her kids, she smiled to herself again and waited for Sam to go before appearing from the other room.
"You're not half bad you know" Candice said kindly, Rose spun around and suddenly looked embarrassed. "No don't worry, your kids are a handful and you're trying your best" she finished.
"Oh, well thanks" Rose smiled and continued her work.
Paul and Bolton were in French with Steph Haydock teaching and both boys could not understand a word that their rather enthusiastic teacher was saying.
"Ah, Monsieur Smilie, Quelle âge as tu?" Steph asked one of the simplest questions she'd probably ever asked a year 11 class but seeing as he wasn't paying attention she decided to go easy on him and then get angry later.
"You what miss?" Bolton asked, shocked.
"She's asking how old you are stupid" Paul whispered
"What? Why's she asking me that, she knows how ol-"Bolton began to argue
"Excuse me, an answer, Today? Or are you going to actually pay attention now?" Steph asked,
To avoid further embarrassment Bolton looked down at his table and listened to the rest of the class. Paul looked out the window and he saw the girl he'd talked to earlier, it was Sam, out of lessons. He wondered if he'd see her later that day as Steph started explaining the different tenses to French.
So... This was meant to be the events of one monday morning... yes... complicated I know and i'm SORRY!
