Thanks for the reviews guys ( y ) ...
"Hey Kim you ok?" Rachel smiled walking into her office and sitting behind the desk.
"Yeah, how are you?" Kim sympathised as she knew about what had happened.
"Yeah I'm fine, i just hope um... that Chris doesn't act weird not that I'm not expecting him not too"
"I'm sure it'll be fine Rachel"
"Hey guys" Chris walked in.
"Hey" Kim smiled and receiving a faint smile from Rachel.
"Anything i need to know about?"
"Just that it's the 10s and 11s party tonight"
"And make sure you come in your James Bond suit" Eddie added arriving in his usual chirpy mood.
"Mm" Chris quickly walked out.
"What was that all about?" Eddie frowned.
"What?" The two women chorused.
"Uh the frosty reception i just got from Chris, what have i done?"
"I'm sure it's nothing Eddie" Kim smiled reassuringly
"Ok well anyway I'll be back here at about half 2, gotta pop up to Trafford's" Saint Trafford was one of Eddie's other schools.
"Yeah, cya later" Rachel faintly smiled once again
A tear rolled down her cheek she wiped it away fiercely hoping Kim wouldn't have noticed but she did.
""Rachel, what's a matter?"
"Nothing I'm fine"
"It's not nothing come on tell me" Kim placed a reassuring arm around Rachel "its Eddie isn't it"
"Kim i just feel really out of order that i put Chris through that"
"Rachel it's not your fault you were just trying to move on you didn't know that Eddie was going to come back, you can't blame yourself"
"Thanks Kim" Rachel smiled.
"No problem ey are you better fix your make-up you look like a panda" Kim chuckled handing her a tissue.
"Look Rachel i was thinking so i don't have to go alone, um would you come to the scan with me?"
"Yeah I'd love to Kim"

"Wow this look's brilliant!" Eddie grinned as he walked into the hall.
The theme was James Bond night to make it that more fun, Rachel, Kim, Bolton and Michela had been working on it since half 10 and it was now 4. The room was designed like a casino and it had a bar on the opposite wall to the stage which would obviously be serving non alcoholic drinks, palm trees were planted in various places and of course the dj decks on the stage.
"Sorry I'm late got held up, but it certainly didn't look like you needed my help"
"No problem, we had our two handy little helpers" Rachel smiled at them and then Eddie.
"Right were off miss, cya later" Michela smiled
"Bye"
"Sir ya best not be wearin dat" Bolton messed around
"No I'm not actually, my suits up in Miss Mason's office"
"Good good, cya" Bolton laughed walking off with Michela.
"I think you should show us this suit Eddie Lawson" Kim placed her hands on her hips.
"You read my mind Kim" Rachel added.
"I don't think so ladies your just gunna have to wait" Eddie smiled.
"Arr, why?" Kim and Rachel whined.
"Look i know you want to see me looking all handsome in my amazing suit but unfortunately your just gunna have to wait"
"Alryt, alryt we give up" Kim smiled.
"Good"
"Well we've gotta go and get all glammed up" Rachel smiled to Kim.
"Yep"
"Actually thinking about it i need a shower, why don't you jump in with me were going the same way anyway?" Eddie thought it made more sense than to take 3 cars.
"Yeah why not"
"Right come on then" Eddie ushered them out handing Rachel the keys to his car and running up to her office to get his suit.

"Come on open the door, it's not funny you know" Eddie knocked on the car window as Rachel and Kim were in fits of laughter.
"We'll end being late" he added and a few minutes later they both decided it was best if they let him in.
