Afterschool Duty Novels & Stories

The bell where I have to leave this hell hole to an ultra hell hole. "Hey mel, what you thinking about?" my best friend interrupted my thought. "Nothing, I said, what will you be doing after school" I asked her in an attempt to change the subject. I haven't known her for 24 hours yet but I know she is stubborn. We picked our bags and head out. "I have an after-school job, so I'm heading there after school. It's a restaurant. You can come there anytime" Catherine said. "What about you, what you doing when you get home?" she asked

He pressed more to get his point across. I nodded, wiping my cheeks with the sleeve of my hoodie. "Yes, sir. Thank you… for the advice." I added a little sweetness to my voice – never know when being polite might come in handy. He gave me a warm, fatherly smile in return. Then he dropped the bomb. "As for the two of you… clearly, there are unresolved issues. So, for the next month, you’re both on school service duty. Detention through volunteering – together. Whatever the teachers or the school need, you’ll do. On demand."

I want this secret kept tight. "Just wanted to," I said while messing up my drink that hasn't been mixed all up. "Huh, you take care of the turn today?" I've been given an assignment like any other teacher. Namely maintaining pickets, like being a receptionist in an office. Our task is to fill the absences of each class who are not present and receive guests. Either that, guests from parents of students, or guests for the principal, or guests for other teachers. "Yes." "Spirit Miss Rara."

Or maybe a mutual friend. Arden had sponsored Ray. So Ray wanted to pay him back. And that's why he was working for Aster. Aster didn't know what his dream job was. Maybe he could become a CEO. Who knows? Aster waited till Asher came home from the kindergarten. The kid should be given some color. "Yo, you have some new rules now." Asher rolled his eyes but dutifully sat before Aster. "You have to have a bodyguard. He will follow you as a class mentor. Be in his presence at all times. And then after school, you will have your personal bodyguard."

"You have to get back on a board and ride a wave." "You guys are so pushy," Dakoda remarked. "You know that, right?" "We do," they both said, smiling. "Well, let's just get through school today without any more issues," Dakoda suggested. Just then, Stella approached their table and said, "Hey Koda Bear." "What's up, Care Bear?" Dakoda replied. "We need help at the diner, and Mr. Roger asked me to ask you if you'd like an after-school job. Mac is going to be working there too."

This truly was going to be the best year ever. At the end of the day, she sent each of her students out the door with hug, handshake, or high-five, their choice, and then took the three students in her class who were walkers down to meet the other students who walked home. Her after school duty for this semester was to help them all get safely across the street. The crossing guard was already there, but it never hurt to have an extra pair of eyes. Once they were all safely headed home, Ru breathed a sigh of relief. Two weeks down, more to go than she cared to count. “So, how’s it going?” Hannah West asked as they walked in together. Hannah had walker duty for third grade.

The guardians on duty informed us to start calming down about two hours after the dancing began. That gave us enough time to wind down before heading back to our rooms and get an early night in preparation for the task the guardians had prepared for us. If I remembered rightly, the task was a shorter version of the Senior year 'protect-your-charge' task where we would have to protect the charge assigned to us for a certain amount of time. It was a practical test to allow the students to know what the job entailed and what the task of protecting a charge would mean.

“You can spend all of your suspension taking care of the children and then all your time after school and on weekends until dinner time either in training, on patrol or taking care of the children. When you show more responsibility, we can go back to your usual schedule.” When they leave I heave a heavy sigh. “Is this what it is going to be like when our children get older?”

Still, she was still hot and thirsty. “Here.” Hugo said, giving her a bottle of water. “Thanks..” She accepted the bottle and uncapped it. She was feeling so grateful as she gulped down the water. “Haaaaa..” She wiped the water from her lips. “Thanks.” “Sure.” Hugo smiled. Dawn continued to walk and made sure the kids were not straying far. They were assigned to the Elementary department. On the side, Estelle, Apollo and Ian could see their young aunt, Dawn and her classmate, Hugo.

The sight was heart warming. "From now on you are all siblings. The child you just picked is now your responsibility. Everyone in this room is now bonded . You're all family ok . So for today ,I want you to all bond,talk to each other and have fun" smiles broke out. "What about our chores?" "What time do you do them" "From three to six in the evening" "Really now, well change of plans. Instead of chores ,you'll take a nap ,all of you, and wake up at seven for dinner. I know that you all must be exhausted both mentally and physically"
