Substitute Teacher

After years of bullying in school Arnold had sworn at graduation he would never set foot in a school again but here he was. Back in his school 5 years later as a substitute teacher. He had one goal really and one goal only. Stopping bullying. Becoming a teacher had given him a new found confidence and he was determined to make sure no one would be treated the way he was. He had been to a few schools as a teacher, as a substitute you got sent around the area quite a bit but this would be the first time he would be going back to his own school.

He got off the bus and walked towards the school, briefcase in one hand. He had nothing to put in it but he thought it looked professional so he just stuffed some clean laundry into it to give it some weight. He walked into the office and saw the woman on reception. Thankfully not someone who had been there when he had been a student.
"Hello miss, names Arnold Stuart. I'm here as a substitute teacher" he said with a false sense of pride. She looked up at him with a bored look.

"You sure? You look like a student" she said. Arnolds confidence began to waver.

"N-no I am sure! Just look me up, headmistress is waiting for me" he tried to explain. The woman just smirked and picked up her phone. Arnold went and took a seat in the waiting room. This hadn't gone as expected already.
