Colleagues to lovers

Chapter 41

The conversation with Ellie and Hailey was over. The two ladies went home and the rest stayed at school. Jackson still found the things about Hailey and Ellie very strange, but he did not want to know more about the situation. He thought it would be better if he knew as little as possible. So Jackson left and Daisy, Lyanna and Sarah stayed in the classroom. They talked some more about what had actually happened in that half hour. Daisy tells them that Ellie and Hailey were whispering all the time and she didn't hear much. But what she did hear was that they talked a lot about Sarah and Lyanna. And of course she expected that. While they were still discussing everything, she heard two people arguing in the hallway.

"We have to support and help her, don't we? How will you do that if we are not with her?" one asked. "She's already talking to others, isn't she? Let her talk to them. We'll talk to her tomorrow," says the other. "I'll just go to her, you can't stop me," says one. "No, don't," says the other. "She needs to know what's going on, whether you like it or not," says one. "Are you sure you have to do this now?" asks the other. "Yes," says the first.

As the three women look at the door, they see two other women opening the door. And Sarah immediately sees who they are. And Sarah is confused. Sarah doesn't understand what they are doing here. Even more confused are Daisy and Lyanna. Daisy recognizes the two ladies but is not sure who they are. She has seen them before, but doesn't know their names or anything.

"Paige and Stella, what are you doing here?" asks Sarah. "We could ask you the same thing. You should be at home," Paige says. "I had to come back. Talking to Ellie, Hailey, Lyanna and Jackson," Sarah says. "Oh seriously, how stupid. We didn't even know you were having problems with Ellie and Hailey," Stella said. "Yes, you did. Otherwise you wouldn't be here right now," Sarah said. "Who are they?" asks Daisy. "They are also French teachers. And Sarah's friend," Lyanna said. "Oh, now I recognize them . I've seen them before, but I didn't know where. But now I remember," said Daisy.

Paige and Stella looked at each other. As if they didn't know what to say. Sarah had the feeling that Paige and Stella knew something that she didn't. And she knew it was important, because otherwise they would have texted her. But now they came to her to tell her. It scares them a little. If it's something important, it usually means it's bad news. And she can't handle that right now. So she hopes she's making it all too big in her head, but she still thinks it's bigger than it really is.

"But I still don't have an answer to my question. Why are you here? I like having you here, but I want you to answer my question," Sarah said. "Oh yeah. That's not very important. Just tell me about that Ellie and Hailey guy," Paige said. "Paige, can you come with me to the hallway for a minute?", Sarah asks. "Yeah sure," says Paige.

"Then we can talk, too," Daisy said. "What's going on? Why are you here all of a sudden? Something happened, but what?" asks Lyanna. "I can't tell you, Sarah has to if she wants to," Stella says. "Then what is it?" asks Lyanna. "You could give me a general idea of what this is, couldn't you?" asks Daisy.

"You need to tell me why you and Stella are suddenly here to talk about Ellie and Hailey. And I know you don't want to talk about Ellie and Hailey. I heard you talking to Stella about supporting me. Why do you have to support me? What's going on?" asks Sarah. "I was going to tell you, but then you were in the room with Daisy and Lyanna and it's something you should know, and you're the one who gets to tell them, I don't," Paige says. "You're just making it more confusing, Paige. What the hell is going on?" asks Sarah.
