I've had this in my drafts for probably almost a year now. I'm proud of it... but tbh I'm unsatisfied with the ending and nothing that I write feels adequate.

As a stand alone it works, but I know it's missing something. You'll see what I mean.

So anyway. I thought I'd put this out there as a possible part 1 for you to enjoy. But most likely it will just stay as a one shot I never properly finished 🥲

Of course if you have a way you'd like it to end let me know, I'd be open to any suggestions

"Anderson."

"Here sir."

"Baker."

"Here sir."

"Barrett."

"Here sir."

"Black."

"Here sir."

"Costello."

"Here sir."

"Donnelly."

"Donnelly?"


....


"Alright Where's Donnelly?"

"Don't look at me man, I dunno."

"Smoking area Mr McPartlin."

"Hey don't be a snitch man!"

"Stop covering for 'em Mikey! Some of us actually want to pass this class."

"Alright alright boys settle down. Donnelly will be dealt with accordingly. Now I have a class to teach. Dodd?"

"Here sir."

"Gates?"

"Here sir."

"That's it for today folks. Place your papers on my desk on the way out, please don't come to me for grades before the lesson. I am not a marking machine."

"Thanks sir."

"No problem Kiera."

"Cheers sir."

"Good work today Leon."

"See ya sir."

"Goodbye Sophie C."

"Have a good one Mr M."

"You too Sophie B."

"Great lesson man."

"Thanks Mikey and... sorry, before you go... if you see Donnelly, could you tell him to come pick up his work? Tell him I'm still here as a tutor if he needs it."

"Sure thing man... he uh..." Mikey had started towards the door but turned around as if compelled by something stronger than his hunger for lunch, "he won't come... ya know that right?"

The dark haired teacher just leant back on his desk and smiled sadly, nodding his head before replying with a drawn exhale, "I know."
