Revenge

chapter thirteen

       "Amy, what are you still doing here? Class is over." Mr. Galloway called out to me and broke me out of my daydream as he sat behind his desk, giving me a puzzling look as he swayed back and forth like a dizzy astronaut.

"Oh. Sorry, i'm just thinking about something." I shook my head, then gave myself a light slap on the cheek for thinking about last night's event as i stood up and grabbed onto my binder, then held it against my chest as i took a step forward.

"Young lady, you need to leave." The mathematics teacher, Mr. Hattrick, entered the english room just as i was about to duck out, pointing towards the hallway behind him. "I need to discuss something with Mr. Galloway in private."

"Alright, i'm going." I confirmed, then sped up as an angry look slowly formed onto Mr. Hattrick's face.

Curiosity took over me as i reached the door and exited the classroom, then jumped as Mr. Hattrick slammed the door behind me and immediately started shouting at Mr. Galloway. I decided to step onto the side and lean against the wall, in order to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"How dare you? School rules are quite clear on this subject, quite clear!" Mr. Hattrick began to scold as i pressed my ear against the door without being seen, making Mr. Galloway moan out of frustration. "Do you hear me? Alcohol is not allowed on school grounds!"

"I-." Mr. Galloway tried to speak, but was interrupted.

"I can smell it on your breath!

"Uh-."

"I can see it in your eyes!"

"I'm not drunk!"

"Drunk and in charge of children? What kind of monster drinks in front of underage kids?"

"A parent?"

"A disgraceful one! You've got a problem, haven't you?"

"I'm just under a lot of pressure!"

"I'm a kind and supportive colleague, Galloway. I think it's my duty to get you fixed!"

"Do whatever you want, Hattrick. You always do!"

"The head will find out about this!"

I suddenly heard footsteps approaching the door, makng me panic as Fatty entered the hallway and sent a wave over towards me while Hattrick started to jiggle onto the doorknob, attempting to twist it open.

"Hey, oh-!" I dropped my books and pulled Fatty into me as he got closer, then shoved him against the wall and placed my mouth onto the corner of his lips, causing him to tense up as the door to the english room opened up.

"Gross!" Mr. Hattrick gagged as he saw my fake make-out session with the nerd, then turned around and picked the opposite way to toddle into, making him officially out of sight as he turned the corner.

"If you ever tell anyone about this, i'll kill you." I violently threatened Fatty as i jerked my head back and held onto the collar of his shirt, making him squirm out of fright and quickly nod his head in agreement.

"Okay!" He held his hands up in defence, then ran away as i let go of him.

I heard slight crying coming from inside of the classroom, indicating that Mr. Galloway was upset. I re-entered the room and saw him chugging down a bottle of whiskey, making me roll my eyes as i stood in front of his desk with my arms crossed.

"You're back?" Mr. Galloway acknowledged my return as his eyes became red like a tomato, then roughly dropped the bottle of alcohol onto his desk as he waved his arms wildly.
