Getting roped in

Eddie was stood up on stage,Rachel standing to his side,"Right welcome back Waterloo Road ! I hope you all enjoyed your break?" A cheer loud enough to have been caused by football fans emitted from the teenagers,as Rachel and Eddie chuckled slightly,"alright calm down! We have a new head teacher starting today! I would like to introduce to you Miss Mason." Eddie stepped back as Rachel stood centre stage waiting for the applause to die down. Eddie whispered in her ear,"they can smell fear!" Rachel giggled slightly and Eddie couldn't help but notice how cute it was. The applause and chatter was still going strong and now was the time to intervene,"alright everybody that's enough!

I'd like to get to know you all and any problems my door is open,for anything..I would like to suggest an idea for a school play. How does that sound,eh?" A chorus of yes' could be hear as Matt made his way up onto the stage whispering in Rachel's ear. Rachel nodded stepping back to stand next to Eddie as Matt begun to speak.

There's a twist the pupils will play the teachers and the teachers the pupils...so I have kindly volunteered a few on their behalf. These are Miss Shackleton and Mr Clarkson," a chorus of wolf whistlers erupted throughout the hall as Davina and Tom looked slightly excited,"and miss Mason and mr Lawson." Rachel and Eddie looked shock, oh great they thought. Rachel muttered to Eddie," I haven't been here a day and I've already been roped into doing a play." Eddie chuckled and the chemistry or spark between the pair didn't go unnoticed by Steph who was grinning like a Cheshire Cat...
