Will
He put on his best smile and walked into her office.
"Hey Em, brought you a coffee, didn't see you in the teachers' lounge at lunch."
"Hi Will, thanks, I've been busy all day, haven't had much time to myself today" she replied forcing a smile.
"Well, how are you?" Will asked genuinely wanting to hear an answer.
"I'm fine Will" she replied unconvincingly
"If you're sure" Will stated concerned "how's things with you and Carl if you don't mind me asking" he asked warily still unsure about his predicament.
"Great" she said too quickly for his liking "he had a conference yesterday and stayed at a hotel. He came home early this morning to see me before I came to work, it was sweet" she lied.
He knew she was lying, could tell that she wasn't fine. When was she going to realise he knew these things, he could tell.
"That's good" he didn't want to pressure her "anyway, got to go, got glee practice" he smiled and turned to exit. Turning back to her quickly he said "text me if you need anything, coffee or a chat" he sounded nervous and distracted, he needed to keep himself together "I'll go fetch my phone from my office before rehearsal"
"Thanks Will, but I'm fine" she lied again.
Sue
She had them. Sue turned and walked out of his office. She had had Becky watching him all day to see when he left his phone unattended. She closed the door behind her just as she saw him turn the corner. He had spotted her.
"Want something Sue?"
"Not really William" she replied all too quickly, almost nervous.
"Were you just in my office Sue?" Will asked questionably.
"well, to be honest Will, I came to ridicule you and your hair, I was bored, but you weren't here and now I have to go whip my team of CHAMPIONS into shape" she had purposely emphasised the word 'champions'. She loved the look of disgust and anger he gave her before dropping his head.
She walked away and thought about the tasty victory that was in such easy reach. This would mean as much, if not more, than winning another national title. With that thought she grabbed her megaphone and began cheerio's practice.
