Rating: U
Sophie never did turn up to the booster session. Karen was thinking of texting her but didn’t know what to say. “Did you go last night?”, ”Sorry I didn’t go”? “Did you see Sian Miss Powers?” she wanted to know if Sophie had actually went or not and if she did, what was she met by? A teary teacher? An angry teacher? Or a teacher, who kept her professionalism, didn’t say anything and just got on with the work? She just decided not to say anything and wait for Sophie to say the first thing.
Karen was waiting nervously by the lockers (as per usual) and only saw Emily there. She looked busy on her phone, maybe texting Sophie and asking where she was.
“Finally! I’ve been waiting here like a lemon for ages. I had to take out my phone to make it look like I was busy”, she said. (in a Rosie type way)
“Oh so Sophie hasn’t text you or anything?” she asked with a slightly shaky voice.
“No, why? I thought you only saw her last night. Has summit happened?” Emily asked in a genuinely concerned voice,
“Errm, well I didn’t go. Well……I did……but then I had to go and……I didn’t know if Sophie went cuz erm, summit happened……”, she said. She had no intention of telling her friend what happened of course but the words just rolled off her tongue.
“Ooo really? Tell me all the goss then”, Emily said interested. It’s like her eyes bulged out of her head as she leaned in intrigued.
“Ooh it’s nothing. Really”, Karen tried to laugh off.
“Well obviously summit happened otherwise you wouldn’t be so jumpy”, Emily laughed a little.
“Emily, seriously, nout happened. It’s okay”, Karen tried saying with confidence. Emily decided not to aggravate her friend as she thought that she might be spending all day with her. At this rate anyway as Sophie was a no show.
Karen --- >>> Sophie ---- Hey bbe, where are you? You feeling OK? Txt bk Ly Kaz x x (9:05am)
Sophie didn’t show up for school that day. Karen just thought that Sophie wasn’t feeling too well and went home instead of going to the booster session, that’s why she didn’t turn up for school. Surely she would of text me saying she wasn’t going? And text me back earlier? She might have ran out of battery……she would of charged it back up by now though. That’s it, she’s ran out of credit!!! She triumphantly thought as a smile washed over her face.
It came to the last lesson of the day, which Karen had been dreading allllll day. Yurp, you guessed it, ENGLISH!! Miss Powers was there, unfortunately to Karen’s disappointment. She thought she might have the day off. Karen tried to pull that trick with her parents but didn’t work. Even if she was truly ill they would still send her to school.
“Right, I’m just gonna give you the books today and you can read from them”, Miss Powers said like a robot. She gave out the books not making eye contact with anyone. Karen thought about making eye contact hopefully but just did a quick glance as Miss Powers walked by, the blond however did not even get close to making the eye contact. Little did Karen know that Sian was trying with all her energy not to look. This wasn’t because she liked her of course it’s just of those things where you want to look at someone after a major event has happened, such as this.
The lesson had gone quite slow as did the reading coming from various students. Sian just kept her head in the book still not making eye contact, even when telling a vulnerable pupil to read. The bell suddenly rang through the school and made most of the class jump for some of them had nearly fell asleep and it was that quiet that any noise at all was a shock.
“Okay, off you go you lot”, Sian said as her class rushed for their bags and swiftly left. Sian was staring at her computer, trying to look busy (yet another excuse as to not make eye contact) until she heard a voice that she had been trying to avoid as best she could without making it too obvious.
“You go on down Emily, I’ll be right out.” Sian let out a little sign in her mind, trying not to make it visible. “Erm, Miss, can I talk to you please?” a timid voice said. Sian could see the top half of her legs in front of her desk.
“Yes, of course Karen”, Sian replied, pushing herself back from the desk as she got up to get a more clear view of the closed up person. Sian knew what it was going to be about but attempted to assume it was about work.
“Errm……well……I err just wanted to apologise for what happened yesterday,” she stuttered, putting her hand behind her neck to cool it, also because she didn’t know where to place her arms/hands. “I didn’t know what came over me. I’m really sorry if……”, Karen stopped talking. She would hope she didn’t need to say anything else and Miss Powers would take it from there because she didn’t know what else to say, or how to word it.
“It’s okay Karen. Well, not okay but I understand. I won’t tell head of year or the head if you promise to never pull a stunt like that again and work extremely hard in your lessons. Not another word of this to anyone and we’ll try to forget about it the best we can and just get on with what we need to at school. Now do you understand?” Miss Powers asked the rhetorical question with authority.
“Yes Miss”, Karen said slightly scared.
“Good”, she replied in a softer tone than she had before, nodding. “Now off you go, don’t want to be missing your bus”, she said with little emotion turning back to her desk and continuing at her computer.
“Thank you Miss”, Karen said as she turned to walk out the classroom, nearly reduced to tears.
Sian let a gush of air escape her mouth as soon as she saw her pupil disappear. Sian was also close to tears and full of emotion, now. “Why couldn’t it of been Sophie? “ She heard herself quietly say suddenly. She quickly pulled her hands away from her eyes and to her mouth in shock as she gave out a little gasp. What?? You wish it was Sophie who kissed you instead of Karen? Why not? You do love her don’t you? Fuck sake, I do not love a pupil!! How young is she? It’s only 6 years……5 if you’re lucky, depending when her birthday is. She could hear her mind and heart arguing against each other as if there was literally a devil and angle on either side of her shoulders. She was so confused, drained and emotional at this point that she just gave up and wacked her head down onto her table. “Oww.”
