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

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

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

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
The New Teacher Next Door Twenty Seven
DEVAN Trouble always had to find a way to spill over the tea cup. I trembled as the guards ordered us to a straight line. I wasn't supposed to be frightened, or terrified, because at the end, there was no way in hell that this was getting tied to me, or so I thought. There was this deep rooted feeling that I just couldn't get rid of. "This is totally unnecessary." Principal Walter argued. "I'm very sorry for the discomfort we're causing you sir, but I didn't make those rules." The guard replied, but Principal Walter was having none of it. "I thought you were supposed to have security cameras?" The guard nodded. "We do sir, but the artefact in question was stolen from our only blind spot. So, whoever stole it, knew the right place to do so." Principal Walter shrugged his shoulders. "This is unlawful. I could sue you to court, at this moment. You have no evidence, and yet you hold us in your custody? That doesn't seem fair." The guard rolled his eyes
The New Teacher Next Door Twenty Eight
ELLEN I was losing my mind, and I was sure of that. I had become so obsessed with serving Devan's revenge to him, that I had forgotten myself in the quest. Maybe, I had overdone it this time, or I had overlooked so many things. However, I couldn't stop now though, I had come too far to stop at this point. I had to keep on, until Devan's feelings had been quenched. Was I really doing this to help Devan, or for myself? Either ways, I had gone extreme this time around. Implicating Tommy the bodyguard, had been too extreme. Although, I had only just started. Tommy's arrest had only been the first string pulled in my quest. I had to keep things low for a bit now, I had to keep things hidden until it was time. Why I was obsessed with all of these, I just couldn't understand. Phew! So much for serving revenge. I arrived at my room after a long day's hard work. I had really put in the work this time. The whole building was quiet, and I suspected the students h
