Chapter 2
Spencer had her class room ready for the day of hell and hoped her lesson plan would pass the test when it came to parents and annoying Aunties. Spencer just hoped that Ashley wouldn't lead the heckling and that she would just get through the day with her sanity in tact. More parents and children filled the room but the over eager guardian wasn't there but then Ashley spotted her running with Bailey in tow across the playground which did raise a smile on her face. Ashley and Bailey bounded into the classroom giggling earning a mean look from Miss Carlin.
"Guess the time keeping was a one off"Spencer said under her breathe to Ashley as she removed her jacket only to be greeted with a cop of coffee shoved in her face by the flustered brunette.
"What?"
"This is for you...you seemed tense and as I've gotta sit here all day and look at your moody face I thought coffee may help"Ashley explain making up some lame excuse. Spencer cautious took the coffee from Ashley and couldn't help but notice the other parents watching them then whispering.
"Don't worry Miss they're talking about me"Ashley whispered as she sat down next to Bailey and Spencer noticed that the other Mother's especially where giving Ashley strange looks but it didn't seem to bother the girl at all. In fact she just sat there happily talking to Bailey as if he were her equal which Spencer liked quite a lot.
"Good Morning Class South 6" Spencer said with all the happiness she could induce which was welcomed by her pupils who responded with guster and excitement "GOOD MORNING MISS CARLIN!!!!"They all screamed back including an over enthusiastic Ashley. The first part of the lesson was to make Christmas decorations to hang around the classroom which meant that the classroom now looked very similar to Spencer's own house but at least people were smiling here.
"Miss Carlin...Miss Carlin....look at mine"Bailey shouted above all the noise and excitement. Spencer walked over and inspected his Christmas decoration that he had created laughing at the amount of glitter that Bailey had managed to put on one star.
"Miss Carlin look at mine"Ashley laughed passing her attempt to Spencer who took it actually smiling. Spencer looked over the decoration and help in her laughter as she realised what Ashley had made.
"I thought I said to make something that reminding you of Christmas?"Spencer still eyeing the offering.
"Yes I understood the complicated instruction"
"But Miss Davies this is a cut out of a bottle of vodka with glitter on"Spencer pointed out blankly.
"Yea well that's what reminds of Christmas and call me Ashley"
"Aswee loves vodka but she can't have it anymore"Bailey explained clearly too clever for his own good earning himself a filthy look from Ashley.
"Thanks Bails"Ashley said under breath clearly annoyed.
"Sorree Ashwee"
"Well maybe Bailey you can give Ashley something else that will remind her of Christmas from now on...maybe something that will make her smile?Can you name me 5 things you can think of Bailey?"
"Santa, chocolate, toys, hugs and kisses?"Bailey answered after much thought and consideration.
"There you go Ashley try something new"Spencer smiled as she went to help another child. Ashley watched the blonde saunter off and thought of two of the options that Bailey offered that she would like to try with Miss Carlin. Ashley was stuck in Ohio for a while so she thought she might aswell make it worthwhile or at least fun.
