TALLY

Monday comes way too soon and I’m so exhausted that I seriously consider calling off of work. But I don’t.

Instead I’m sitting in my classroom and watching the last ticks of the clock on a really long day.

As the bell rings, I holler at the kids, “Don’t forget to bring your packed lunches on Friday because we’re having a picnic!”

All of them groan but I smile. They’ll love it. They do every year.

The last child walks out the door and McBride walks in right after Harley walks out and she looks back at me, a question in her eyes. I nod my head at her slightly and she keeps walking.

“Miss Carter. I’m glad you managed to make it to the dance the other night but I wanted to talk about a few things that were left undone after the party.”

I lift a brow, knowing that everything was taken care of.

“One of the bathrooms was a mess. We can’t have that kind of thing. It looks bad for the whole school district. You should have checked it before you left.”

I bristle. “Isn’t that the custodian who takes care of that kind of stuff? I don’t work on toilets, even in my own home.”

He stiffens. “Are you telling me that you think you’re too good to help out the school?”

“What I think she’s saying is that’s not her job. You have people that take care of that kind of thing.”

He whips around, glaring at Foster who’s standing in the doorway, his arms crossed over his broad chest. His eyes are like chips of ice and I shiver.

“I don’t think this is any of your business, Mr. Marcone. I really think you should concentrate on your hellion of a daughter.”

Now I’m bristling but Foster just grins. “I do, McBride. But if it’s not my business…it’s definitely hers.”

He glances over his shoulder and Rebel walks into the room, her eyes absolutely fiery. My sister doesn’t take kindly to bullies and McBride is definitely one of those.

He pales, his hand running across his face and tugging at his tie. Then he smirks. “Mayor! How lovely to see you.”

She grunts and I cough to cover my snort of laughter. She sounds exactly like my brother-in-law. I think he’s rubbing off on her.

“You know. There’s one thing I hate more than anything on this earth, McBride. And that’s bullies.”

“I-I’m not a bully,” he snarls. “I’m just trying to run a school.”

“Really? By asking my sister to clean your school’s toilets? Do any of the other teachers clean toilets? And where do you get off calling my godchild a hellion?”

I jump. I know Harley isn’t her godchild although she is close with the guys from Wildwood Construction because of Tony.

“Your godchild! I wasn’t aware of that!” Now he really looks like he’s gonna be sick.

“I think we need to talk.” Rebel turns to me and turns her back to him, winking. “I’ll talk to you later. Go have fun.”

I grab my things and eye her uncertainly. “Don’t worry. Tony’s bringing some of the board members back here right now.
