The New Teacher Next Door Nineteen
DEVAN 'A Dog on a leash!' Those very words still found a way to haunt me, even without the presence of its owner. Ellen had found a way to mock me even in her absence. It was clear that I needed to do something about Blue, before anyone else found out. And maybe find Sam along the way, if I was lucky enough. I wasn't always lucky anyways. I opened the door to Robb's room, and there he was with reddened eyes that never seemed to close. "You should be asleep." I noted. He raised his eyebrow, and chuckled. "You should be asleep, Devan." I closed the door as quietly as I could, and strolled towards him. "Well, I do need your help." His eyes widened as he drew closer. "You can't sleep? Don't worry, I've got the best stuffs for you." He promised ransacking his pockets, with a chuckle. "I didn't come here to talk about your stuffs at this time of the night, Robbie." His countenance fell immediately. "What do you want then? I've got nothing else to

ELLEN I woke up with a fix. I was naked, and in another bed that was entirely different from the one I had slept in the previous night. I was startled, and wasn't comprehending how I had ended up here. Something was totally off, and I wasn't liking it any bit. I stood to my feet, and headed towards the door. Had I gotten myself drunk the previous night? I couldn't tell. I pushed the door weakly, but it didn't budge. It was stiff. Someone had locked the door from outside. I heard footsteps approaching the door, and I retreated. Maybe I should have hidden myself, but there was no where to hide. It was just an empty room with a huge bed at the middle. The sound of keys rattling resounded, and I saw the door knob turn, and he walked in. Bloody Zach! "Are you awake, Baby?" He quizzed with a smirk. My eyes widened in confusion. This didn't seem right. It had all shades of perplexity clearly written on it, and I was perturbed. "What's going on, Zach?
The New Teacher Next Door Twenty One
DEVAN It was the wee hours of the hours of the morning when I stole quietly to the sitting room with nothing but my backpack. I had to leave before Robb or Mum awakened. Mum had vehemently kicked against the idea of me going for the school trip, but I was having none of that. I tiptoed quietly through the sitting room with hopes of not awakening anyone. Mum was seated on the chair, snoring deeply, and a bottle of empty whiskey on her laps. Robb had done that to her. I inserted the key into the keyhole, and turned it in the reverse. I was a few steps away from victory. I turned the door knob, and stepped outside. The cold was biting. I held my arms tightly together, and rubbed them. I should have taken a sweatshirt along, but I hadn't. I could go back inside to get one, but I couldn't risk it. It was too risky, I could be caught. "You need a ride?" Mum quizzed behind me. I froze in shock, and turned around to face her. She was covered with a blanket, and
The New Teacher Next Door Twenty Two
ELLEN Nothing seemed to amuse me anymore, except this promotion I was pinning for. I wasn't interested in going on this trip without Cullen anymore. I had wanted to go along with him, and had even considered having an affair with him, if he had asked me to. Seven hells! That would have been crazy. It would have been a wild ride. I could almost feel him inside of me already. I wanted that, but that couldn't happen anymore. Cullen wasn't here, and I was stuck here in this bus with students chattering unnecessarily, and a few other teachers who hadn't deemed me fit to welcome into their flock. Little wonder, I had grown so attached to Cullen. I had no one else who was ready to talk with me, or listen to me. Not even Zach. I plugged my earpiece in, and tried to shut my thoughts out. Perhaps, I should have listened to Zach. It was suddenly beginning to seem like he had been right all along. I should have listened and stayed back. Maybe, I would have
The New Teacher Next Door Twenty Three
DEVAN Principal Walter was the Devil himself. Mean, authoritative, and evil to the core, just as I had known all along. A menace he was. My back was sore, and it ached to be relieved of the day's stress. But, sadly Principal Walter hadn't granted me that opportunity yet, as he ordered me around his bed space, while he lingered on the bed with a blanket to his chest, and a newspaper article in his hand. Son of a cursed woman that he was! I looked out of the window, and could see the rest of my mates clearly enjoying themselves, but here I was having the worst experience of my life. "There's a party holding tonight." I announced, as I arranged the last of his clothes into a shelf. Principal Walter barely glanced up at me, as he nodded briefly, and returned to reading his article. "So...?" I began. "So what, Barker?" He questioned, readjusting his glasses to sit perfectly on his nose. "Once I'm done with this, could I leave? I mean everyone has ta
The New Teacher Next Door Twenty Four
ELLEN Rowdiness was all there was to see, and nothing else. Disco lights, loud music blared by speakers that seemed too loud. It was all commotion in its highest form. I sat at the far end of the room, on a high stool watching everything that went down, until my eyes bled. Sadly, I couldn't help it. Mr. Walter had instructed every teacher to mount every corner of the room where the party was to hold, in order to prevent indecent acts from taking place. What was the use of a welcoming party anyways‽ I was extremely exhausted with everything. I studied the environment with eyes that ached to be closed and rested. I really didn't see any need of indulging in a party on the first night of our arrival. It was totally unnecessary. It was our first night of arrival, and so we were meant to have been granted a long time to rest after the tiring journey of that day. Yet, they had opted for a party, and Mr. Walter had chosen otherwise. He had agreed to let the p
The New Teacher Next Door Twenty Five
DEVAN Twenty five squats he had said, and then I was to wash the bathrooms. After which, I was to remain indoors until I was told to leave. So much for attending a party! Bloody Old Walter! He was obsessed with the aura that came with possessing power that he didn't care to think things through, anymore. An old bloody fool, he was! I had completed the squats, but there was no bloody way in hell that I was going to wash the bathrooms. I wasn't doing that, and no one could compel me to. The door opened, and Principal Walter strolled in. He barely paid any attention to me, as he shut the door, and began taking off his clothes. I could hear him humming the 'winds of change' under his breath, as he tied a towel around his waist, and got into the bathroom. I was beginning to regret taking that bold step. I shouldn't have defied his order. I should have stayed back here with him, and abandoned the party. Principal Walter had been right, it had been a total
The New Teacher Next Door Twenty Six
ELLEN If evil had a face, it was mine. The morning began as every other morning, except for the fact that it wasn't like every other one. The whole reason for our journey was to commence today. We were visiting the art museum today. Principal Walter had thought it wise to introduce the students to a world of art, in order to spike their interests in it. The trip however, was about showing them things they hadn't seen before. And exposing them to a whole new world, totally different from the one they were used to. I watched the students march into the bus in one file, and I could only hope they were able to maintain this orderliness when we arrived our destination. But that wasn't possible. I was quick to notice that Devan wasn't on the line, and I was bothered. I was quite surprised that he hadn't been the first to hurry into the bus, since he was the kind of kid that had eyes for the arts. He was scarce most of the time now, as Mr. Walter had made it a sole
