||Hello Neighbour: A Better Timeline||

||Chapter 24: Changes To The School||

All the kids toom their place in the gym, an assembly was about to start and talk about what's changed since the boiler room incident.
Nicky tapped Trinity, who sat next to him,"Why are some people staring at me?", Enzo, who sat on Trinity's other side, leaned forward,"Probably cause you saved Delory; Word spreads quickly.", Nicky didn't know how to feel about that, but he nods and tries to ignore the fact that people are looking at him as he feels their eyes on him.
He hated it, so much.

So; Boiler Room was repaired and fixed, new locks and doors were put all over the school and apparently Headmistress Valeria resigned, which was sad but maybe she needed a new start since she had been under some stress, hopefully she got the cards all the students had sent.
"So; I introduce to you: Headmaster Wilson."
And to everyone's shock, even some of the teachers and parents, their Janitor walked up to the microphone.
"I apologise, I was a Headmaster before I had retired but I came back as a Janitor, then requested to take your Headmistress's place."
Oh.
Enzo frowned, was that why the room had turned tense? Maybe she knew him before he retired??
Wilson cleared his throat.

Diana walked out with her husband,"That was an interesting assembly, though it's nice he's promising to handle some things that had been put aside to make the school better.", Theodore nods,"I believe in him, I believe. . . If my memory is correct, he was The Headmaster of an Old Secondary School before it was closed.", Diana smiled,"Did you know him?", Theodore shook his hand,"Kind of? I saw him around town, did visit his school once but, that was it: But he was said to be a very good man.", Diana felt reassured as they left the school.

ilson sighed.

Otto, an old and very good friend of his, looked from his stitch for a second,"The matter? You did always talk about how you'd wanna go back to teaching.", Wilson nods,"Yes, well. . . Just dunno still, given what happened at the old place and. . . Still haven't forgiven myself.", Otto finished the stitch, got up and opened the fridge, grabbing two beers,"You mean the missing bus? Mate; That wasn't your fault, no one blamed it on you, but you still closed your school. . . But given the Cult were in the woods. . .", Wilson nods, Otto held one out to him,"Look; I ain't the best person to give advice, however; Think you should take the job, cause this is your chance to help this school: You did say you wanted to make it better?", Wilson took the beer, cracked it open,"I suppose.", he hadn't told Otto Valeria was dead, hence why he's more unsure of the job but. . . When he was on that stage, looking at the children, he knew what he had to do.
Otto smiled,"Cheers.", and it was a small and quiet celebration between the two men.

Arriving in the office, Wilson made sure to put a picture of Valeria up.
. . .
He began to open the cabinets, taking out anything and everything that was important, pulled out his reading glasses and notebook; He was going to be making big chances to the school.

". . ."
Nicky turned to the boy next to him,"What is it. . .?", he was about to say anything, but seemed to lose his words.
Nicky went back to writing until, he suddenly felt a presence watching over his shoulder.
"Hmm. And this here, where did you learn this method to calculate?"
Mr Murtaugh's gloved hand, pointed to the calculation Nicky used to answer the question,"Uhm. . . From Dr Ray? Worked in the chemistry department.", Mr Murtaugh nods, smiling without his teeth which, honestly was for the best.
"Very good, Mr Roth. Very good."
Least he didn't get mad at him for using a different method than he provided.
"If you found another way to calculate the answer, please let me know."
"Uhm. . . Mr Murtaugh?"
The class turned around, one kid held up his sheet which he had spilled a drink on it.
Mr Murtaugh had to do. Everything in his power. To not faceplam.

"You know, the attic somehow has the least amount of stuff in it."
Theodore nods, wiping his forehead,"Yeah. . . Oh. Jackpot.", Diana turned around, seeing her husband picking up a small box,"Hm? What's this??", Theodore smiled as he opened it, inside were a lot of small tapes,"Camcorder cards; A whole bunch of memories.", the box was organised. . . To an extent.
Labeled like say, 1993-2013.
"Interesting way to Label."
"I think. . . It's labeled this way, because they kept getting a new Camcorder?"
Theodore shrugged, closing it,"Probably more near by, think I should. . . See if they can be watched?", Diana smiled,"Yes, I'd love that and the kids; Maybe you, Ike and Norman could relive your childhood memories.", Theodore chuckled, nodding,"Yeah, that'd be nice.", so put the box near the attic door as a reminder to bring them down.

There were a lot of things Wilson was going to change.

1. He wanted to add more clubs, give students more options to benefit them physically, mentally and emotionally; Say example a Gardening Club.

2. He was going to have Teachers retrained as his time as a Janitor and looking at Students/Parents, and also apparently there was a Rebellion Against The School at some point and some teachers he could not believe got a job.

3. He was going to do something about the bullying. Properly. He wasn't gonna let anything slide anymore.
