It's Monday, exams run for year 11 for the next week, it's going to be long and hard for the students. Emotions will definitely be running high.
I walk into the school and go to the staff room for a meeting. As soon as I open the door and walk in I see that all the teachers are here. I make myself a coffee then stand by the window.
It's not long before Mr Halt walks in
'Exam week is here, I need you all to take note of your year 11 students, whether your a form tutor for year 11s or not this month you should know your old students, this week has always and will always be stressful, please ensure your students wellbeing this week is maintained' he takes a moment looking around.
'Ah Mr lye, Mr smith, Mr Murphy and Mr Sinclair, you'll be able to find your new form students information in your inbox, theses forms will be in place until the end of the month, please let me know if there's any problems' he takes a sip of his coffee then carries on.
'I'll need all 4 of you to be in the hall when your year 11s have their exams, for the rest of you I need you to keep the children quiet this week. Students will not be allowed near the gym unless they have a P.E' we all nod and Mr Halt walks out.
I leave the staff room and walk to my form room. The tables have been rearranged as I have 40 students now. I log onto my computer and check my emails. When the bell goes my new form are waiting outside. I get up and walk out the door.
As soon as I step out I'm barged into. I whip my arms out and grab the bundle of brown, steadying the student. I look down and Abby's captivating eyes are staring up at me. I clear my throat,
'Abby wait, the rest of you take your seats, you should be aware where your sitting' the class walk in, when their all inside I shut the door and lean my shoulder against the wall.
'Abby what's going on?' I ask tentatively. Her eyes are bloodshot, I can see the tears rolling down her cheeks. I swiftly wipe them away.
'Ria and tommy were calling me fat and ugly, I told them to shut up and then ria pushed me' she looks down shamefully. I grab her chin with my finger and thumb and lift it.
'Abby love, you're perfect, don't listen to them' I step closer and wrap my arms around her, she snuggles into my chest, finding comfort. When she pulls back she looks up at me.
'Thankyou, I needed that' she whispers
'Anything for you love, you feeling better now? She nods her head.
'Go sit at my desk Abby, I want you close' I say then I open the door and let her in. As soon as she's sat down I call the other two outside.
'Ria, tommy out!' I shout.
'We..' ria starts, I interrupt 'outside now!' They both get up and join me in the hallway.
'You two are pushing your luck! I will not stand for bullying! If there's any more incidents you'll be expelled, this is your last warning' tommy starts to chuckle
'Sir but you can't expel us' he says confidently
'I'm your new head of your so I can and will get you expelled, Mr Halt already knows about both of your behaviour' I say sternly
'Sorry sir' they both say.
I open the door and they step inside and take their seats. I do the register.
'When the bell goes you leave your belongings here, you can only take a pen, pencil and ruler for your exam' a minute later my form stand up and file out. I walk behind the class, Abby walks beside me.
When we reach the hall students line up and start to file in one by one. I lean down and kiss Abby's neck quickly whispering in her ear
'Good luck baby' then swiftly make my way into the hall.
10 minutes later the first exam for the week starts.
