"I wouldn't bet on that he's walking through the door now" Chris watched him out of the window "he's dressed smartly and he's got a nice car Mercedes Benz" he added
"Great, Chris you wouldn't mind taking this morning's assembly for me would you?"

In the staffroom...
"You never guess who I've just seen from my class window" Tom greeted his colleagues
"And who might that be Clarkson" Steph looked up from making her coffee
"Guess"
"I dunno"
"Guess"
"Just tell us would you Clarkson" Grantly muttered irritated from behind his newspaper
"Alryt keep your hair on Grantly"
Steph, Jo and Ruby burst out laughing to which Grantly was not amused
"And what's so funny" Chris walked in
"Nothin don't worry" Tom smiled
"Just met the new executive seems like a decent bloke"

"Hello Rachel"
"Hi Jennifer" Rachel smiled getting up
"Kim" Jennifer smiled as Kim returned the gesture
"The executive should be up..." Jennifer stopped as she heard the new executive walk through the office door "Aa this should be him now"
Rachel got up to greet him and as she was about to shake his hand realised who it was
"Eddie?"
"You already know each other" Jennifer asked
"Umm yeah he used to be deputy here" Kim said as it was clear Rachel was shocked
"Okay well I'll leave you to it I'll be back at the end of the day to check everything's okay" Jennifer smiled walking out of the office

"What you already know him?" Chris asked
"Yeah he used to work here he was deputy"
"Did i just here you right Mr Clarkson Eddie Lawson is now our sort of boss"
"Yep"
"Bit of background info for you John Foster's lot" Steph started
"Ow here we go gossip detective on the loose" Grantly sighed
"Ow shut up Grantly I'm only getting them up to scratch, anyway what happened was at the start of the summer term last year Eddie got with Rachel's sister Melissa even though you could so tell he was in love with Rachel and she left because Eddie found out she was a bigamist then he got with Rachel finally and Melissa came back knocked up, i know and they broke up"
There were some shocked faces in the staffroom as they all got a little in site on Rachel's life, Chris just stood there quietly thinking to himself

"Umm Eddie I don't get it i thought you left" Rachel sat down in her seat and regained her composure it always helped her do that and funnily enough Eddie was the one that bought it
"I did but then they offered me a job as executive and I didn't Waterloo Road was in the job description until after I had said yeah"
"Right well were just gunna have to deal with this"
"Come on then best get to the staffroom" Rachel took a few deep breaths then followed Kim and Eddie

As Kim, Eddie and Rachel came through the staffroom door Steph nearly fell off her seat getting up
"You alryt mate" Tom smiled to his best mate "What's going on with the suit?"
"Aaa i know mate it's in the job description though I tried to persuade them but you know they just weren't gunna make any exceptions, i mean come on look at me" Tom laughed he was still the same old Eddie as Rachel cracked a smile
"Eddie might i say you're looking very sharp in your suit"
"Sorry Steph your not my type" the staffroom become filled with laughter
