When I met you

Her - Chapter 25

I woke up in a good mood; before I showered, I packed up for today's class and also some things to take with me to spend the day with Dylan. Today I would walk to school, so I decided to put on a lighter and more comfortable outfit, and for breakfast, I had some orange juice.

The day was perfect: blue sky, the sun shining and a very refreshing breeze. When I arrived at school, Lilian was waiting for me and asked me to go to her office to talk.

"I have some good news for you, Amanda."

"I'm curious."

"So let's go to them: we have entered the second month of the summer course and some students will be asked to take a test, depending on their results, they'll already be dismissed. Some of these students are from the first year, your class. I checked your class record and saw that you have already completed the planning, I'll ask you to prepare the students for the assessment. How soon will they be ready?"

"I was about to start with a review of the subject today."

"Great."

"Maybe I need a couple more classes, by Thursday. And I could apply the test on Friday."

"Perfect. I'll already inform the parents about this. With regard to the third year class, their teacher is back from the leave this week, you'll stay with them until the end of the week as well."

"And after that week?"

"You're going on vacation. By the end of the week, you'll sign all the vacation and permanent hiring documents. From the next academic year, you'll be part of our effective faculty. What do you think?"

"This is wonderful."

"Whatever you need, just talk to me."

"Leave it to me."

"Do you and Dylan have plans for Friday night?"

"I still don't know, I'm going to see him today..."

"Great, let him know that on Friday, Vincent and I are going to have dinner and we want your presence. We're going to receive some friends, including Scott will be there, we'll discuss with Dylan the possibility of an exhibition of his works."

"I'll talk to him."

"Thanks. I've already held you too much here. Go to your class. Text me with Dylan's reply."

"Ok, I'll do it. Thank you for everything."

"You don't have to thank me, your work is excellent, you're adorable, smart and friendly. Everything I want for this school and for Dylan. You both deserve."

Lilian smiled at me and hugged me, I returned the smile and hug. I left Lilian's office and went straight to my classroom, the students were already there waiting for me. I talked to them about the plans for the week:

"Does that mean we're going on vacation sooner?"

"Yes, but it'll depend on your performance in the test. So, let's start the review right now."

The class was quiet and the students took advantage of each exercise to clear up their doubts and practice for the test. All the students were excited about the possibility of going on vacation early, and when class ended, they asked about the next year:

"Will you be our teacher next year?"

"Everything indicates that yes, as soon as I know, I'll tell you."

"Merci professeur. À demain."

"À demain."

Dylan was waiting for me at the school door, outside the car. As soon as he saw me, he held out his arms waiting for me to come over and hug me.
