She was gorgeous.
On the shorter side, but quite muscular, she reminded me a lot of Baylee.
“Hi, Jade. And yes, I do agree with you. He’s one fine specimen if I do say so myself.” I agreed.
Jade giggled and started walking into the building with me, chatting about nothing consequential.
“Ms. Sheffield,” Jade questioned. “Are you going to the homecoming game this Friday?”
I pursed my lips in thought. “Well,” I hesitated. “I guess I could. What time does it start?”
Jade squealed in excitement. “That’s awesome. I can’t wait for you to see...I’m sorry. I can’t wait for you to be there. There’s never a dull moment. This’ll be my first time on top ofthe pyramid. Usually the seniors are the only ones that get to go up there, but I beat Chelsea in our weight class...”
The girl could talk, that was for sure. She lost me at pyramid.
I listened with half an ear as we made it to the Special Education room, and I gave a wave and sent her on to class.
“By the way, Ms. Sheffield, bring Officer Spurlock with you Friday!” She said giddily before bouncing away, catching up to one of the men from the football team.
The boy-man wrapped little Jade up into a bear hug and carried her to class, making me smile at their antics.
I was one of the laid-back teachers. As long as they weren’t fighting, I was fine with it.
“Put her down!” Sandra screeched as she passed them on the way to the Special Education door.
Sandra was one of the not so laid-back teachers. In fact, she was a right bitch, and I hated her guts.
I didn’t think there was a thing she could do that would make me hate her more, but I was proved wrong moments later when she walked into my office, balled up a piece of paper she had in her hands, and tossed it into the trash before leaving for her own office.
Walking slowly to my trash, I lifted out the only thing in the trashcan. The crumpled up piece of paper Sandra had thrown before leaving. Unfolding it and smoothing it out on my desk, I scanned the note, thankful I was able to see it clearly, and fumed.
Ms. Sheffield,
Please come to my office at your earliest convenience.
Ronald.
Ronald was the Principal, and technically my boss.
Standing up straight from my hunched position over my desk, I stomped out of my office and towards Ronald’s.
I only waved at the old bat behind the desk, not nearly in the mood to deal with her surliness, and walked straight into Ronald’s office and closed the door.
“Ahh, Ms. Sheffield. I’m glad you could make it this time.” Ronald said turning away from his computer and giving me his full attention.
“This time?” I asked confused.
“Yes,” he nodded sagely. “I’ve been doing everything short of walking down to your office to get you up here. Calling you, sending you notes. Hell, last week I actually did walk down to your office and Sandra said you were out to lunch.”
My eyes closed, and rage simmered in my belly. “Did you end up speaking with Sandra all these times?” I asked softly.
His bushy eyebrows scrunched together as his lips purse. “Now that you mention it, yes, yes I did speak to Sandra all of those times. Why?”
I shrugged. “Well, I never received any messages, and I actually found this note balled up in my trashcan.”
His eyebrows rose in surprise. “Really? Sandra just told me she delivered all of my messages and assured me you were getting them. In fact, she told me she read them to you aloud each time.”
His eyes were hard, as if upset that I was ignoring his summons. “I can assure you that I have not gotten any of your messages. In fact, I specifically saw Sandra walk into my office with this note and throw it in the trash can.”
