A/N: Thanks for all the great reviews! So Poppy's been a bit depressed lately and kind of beating herself up a bit and slipping into old habits, we're going to see more of that but I thought I'd add her naughty side into this chapter...Enjoy! P.S- In case its not clear...I HATE Max Tyler, with a passion!

(Poppy's POV)

We pulled up out the front of school, in Rachel's car. Adam had come in separately today, it felt so strange without Em. I'd been informed that in Rachel's absence the LEA had seen fit to place ex John Fosters headteacher Max Tyler here for a short while...I was going to make sure it was a VERY short while. That was Rachel's place and from what I'd heard the guy was an ass! I'd never met him myself...Thank god! But I had a feeling we'd get acquainted very soon...Rachel looked at me before she went in.

"Today is going to be a good day, right?" She asked

I was too busy looking over at Bolton playing football.

"Mmhmm, a VERY good day" I smirked

"I mean it Poppy" Rachel said sternly

"So do I...Miss" I smirked again

Once she'd gone inside I went in to my locker, first up was science...Chemistry to be specific and that always started with a bang... As I walked into the classroom, Amy Porter was giving me dirty looks, I couldn't stand her! She thought she was a cut above everyone else...

"D'ya want a picture?" I asked

"Nah might break my phone" she threw back

I laughed "Oh my god! I used that line in primary school..."

"You startin'?" Amy asked

"Oh Amy pipe down you little lab rat" I smirked

At that minute Mr Mead came in and put his bag on his desk. He glanced at Amy then at me.

"Problem girls?" He asked

"No sir" I replied innocently

"Sit down then please Poppy"

I went to the back of the room and took my seat next to Lindsay. Amy was sat two rows in front of me and she kept turning round laughing as she looked at me then she turned back to Siobhan and whispered something.

"So..." Mr Mead started "I need you to put the reactants in the equation and figure out what the product would be...Any questions?"

Amy put her hand up.

"Yes Amy?" Mr Mead asked

"How come Poppy got a week off? I heard that kid that died wasn't even her sister." She giggled

"No relevant Amy"

"Amy!" I said loud enough for her to hear

She turned to look at me smirking.

"Shut your mouth! Or I'll come over there and shut it for you!" I told her

She laughed. "Yeah...Right! I'm quaking in my boots"

She stood up and went to the edge of the desk.

"Come on then!" She taunted

"Amy sit down!" Mr Mead said sternly

I wasn't just going to let that lie. I walked straight up to her and punched her straight in the nose...hard. She was so stunned she didn't react just fell to the ground.

"Poppy outside!" Mr Mead said, raising his voice but not enough to shout properly

I stepped over her and headed for the door but she grabbed my leg tripping me up, it broke out in a full blown fight on the floor until Mr Mead dragged us apart.

"Miss Mason's office! The pair of you!" Mr Mead shouted

He gave us both a gentle push out the door and followed behind us before leaving us alone with Rachel and Mr Tyler.

"This isn't fair! How come she gets special treatment just because she's the headteacher's pet" Amy moaned

"Amy shut up! Before I break your nose properly!" I yelled

"ENOUGH!" Mr Tyler bellowed "Poppy go to the cooler"

"Why would I do anything you say?" I asked

"Poppy..." Rachel warned

"Fine I'll take you myself" Mr Tyler said

I saluted him "Lead the way...Captain"

He escorted me to the cooler and once I was in there he gave me a piece of A4 paper.

"Both sides, you can write lines...I must respect Mr Tyler. Do it!" He said

"Make me!" I threw back

"You're not leaving here until you do it, so get on with it. Someone will be along in a moment to keep an eye on you..." He said before leaving me alone

I'd put the red spray paint I'd had in my locker for weeks in my bag that morning, the same can I used for Kim's office. I had been planning to use it on his car but this seemed like a much worthier cause... I walked up to the windows, some of which were frosted and wrote in capital letters...

I MUST RESPECT MR TYLER!
