Let Us Care For You {Comepleted}

Chapter 39

-Shelby pov-
"Ok I want to make sure I know everyone" I look at the pictures and then the kids "Here goes nothing"

"Abigail?"

"Yep"

"Angie?"

"I am Harriet!"

"Right your twin is Angie!"

"That is right but she tricked you"

"Of course she did! Up next is..Lee?"

"Yes Mam!"

"Dear lord this takes too long!" Judy stands up and grabs my papers "This is not how you get to know people! Also can we discuss the fact they are in bikinis during winter?"

"Well the hot tu~"

"Yes the hot tub!" Judy motions toward it "Why the hell does this exist! We are in school! What school needs a hot tub! I want to have a word with your dean!"

"Well word away" We all turn and my jaw drops as does Judy's "May I ask what is so important that swearing was involved?"

"As my girlfriends are too underwater to say" Maribel steps toward her and motions to the tub "Why have a hot tub? It makes no dang since to have one here! It just takes up space and the girls are flaunting their stuff!"

"Well we can always get rid of it" The dean turns and pulls out a tablet "I will call contractors to uninstall it and place flooring down"

"NO!" We all look at Rachel who has a big pout "I want this and so do they! Why do they get to take it away from us?"

"Cause they are your overheads and I am following what they say" I narrow my eyes as what she is doing clicks on my head "Problem?"

"You want this gone so you hire overheads to get rid of it" I stand up a little angry now "You just have not had one who agreed until now! You are using us!"

She narrows her eyes and locks her jaw "The audacity" She points at me with her pen "Watch the line you tread on Shelby"

"Or what? I fall?" I take steps toward her "You are trying to turn them against us! You want us to be the villain! I am sure if we looked at bills this costs a lot! But why would that matter? There is nothing here to really cost a lot! Unless...unless the school is having trouble?"

"Mom?" My eyes go wide as I turn to see Betty is the one who spoke "Is that true? We are having trouble?"

"Nothing to worry about dear" She gives the fake mom smile "I have it under control"

"I think we need to have a meeting in your office" I look at the club kids "Stay and relax ok? Come up with regionals ideas!"

I get nods as I walk out with the moms and dean. It is a short but silent walk to the office. The dean has her head down the whole way. Once inside we close the door as she sits.

"The club takes expenses and I am trying my best" I can see the tears ready to start falling "I could lose my job and my baby girl is too smart to not be in school! I need this job! I need this school!"

"Let me see your finances" She hands the papers to Maribel who starts looking over them "You overpay for air conditioning, you pay for buses that you do not use, you overpay again for unqualified teachers, annnnnnd you have something on here about heat that is over a thousand dollars that I could get you cheaper"

"Let me see that" The dean takes the papers and does some calculations "If we fixed this then...we could hire real teachers and have enough for the club"

"You would have so much extra" Maribel pulls out her phone "I will message my guys"

"Hannah" The dean holds out her hand "I am in your debt"

"Just make sure our girls stay happy here" I shake her hand with a smile "Also Jessica is a flirt and has smacked our butts a few times"

"What?!" We are soon chasing her back to the club room "JESSICA! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Uhh warming up?" She tilts her head "Why?"

"You smacked their behinds?!" Jessica's eyes go wide while Betty laughs "What is so funny? You could have said something during dinner!"

"Dinner?" I look between the two and it clicks "Oh my god you are her mom!"

"You only said baby girl" Jessica rolls her eyes "Why not both?"

"Cause she has the brains and I have the talent" Betty nods and does not even look slightly offended "So she probably said she is smart"

"There has been a lot discussed today!" I clap and look at the club "Let's dismiss and digest it all so we can focus"

They all nod and we go separate ways. I am not getting any sleep tonight.
