Completely hers. If Harrison bothered to stop
and think about his best friend, he'd realize she was those things more because
of her great confidence in her own self. He was a big, strong marines man that
was trained to save a person in multiple situations, but Molly never took
advantage. She wanted to save herself. No damsel in distress for her. Though
even she had to admit that she needed more adventure in her life. More fun.
More danger to toy with. Her life was still so safe and easy going. She needed
to shake it up a bit more. Make it as feisty as her attitude was. But her
schedule of a teacher and a friend to many never seemed to allow her that
release.
One day, he'd have to show her how. If only
she'd allow herself to see his side of things. The good side. She'd become
looser then.
But for now, she had come to him to make
him stop the rumors that he had apparently started. And he needed a damn good,
convincing way of making sure her students, and all the others, knew that there
was no connection of that sort between him and Molly. Just like there never
would be.

"Are you ready? After all, you never
know what kind of surprises await past that door." Marty said,
unsuccessfully trying to hide a grin. Really, she couldn't wait to find out
what Harrison was doing to fix the problem that had spread throughout the
school. Her mismatched eyes, one of a strange hazel and the other blue, were
dancing with excitement. "That boy better not let me down."
Molly just shook her head, opening the
glass door, leading the way to their classrooms, holding her breath in silent
prayer that Harrison wouldn't make a fool of either of them. She was wasting
that breath...

It was five minutes before lunch period and
Molly was putting up the assignment.
Read chapters five through seven in
Persuasion. Write out summary and your viewpoints on these chapters.
Test on Monday start studying now!!
She was still copying this from her
assignment book when there was a knock at the door. Before she could even turn
around, Harrison came in the room. And on his arm, was someone who made a
shiver run down her spine and anger spark in her eyes.
She looked towards the door that conjoined
the two classrooms and saw Marty peering in through the window, her jaw gaping.
For on his arm, was the woman with platinum
blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. With the height of five eleven without her
trademark four inch heels on, it was easy to see that she was once a model,
back in the day. She made the stereotypical views on models being snobs come
true. She was worse than stuck up she was better than everyone else in this
place. Better than anyone...but the man she had her eye on for months, whom she
was determined to get. Well, she had gotten him, obviously.
"Principal Harrison, Miss Candice
Greybill...to what do I owe this pleasure?" Molly asked, trying to keep
her voice even.
Harrison looked around the room, making
sure all eyes were on him. They surely were.
"Oh, I'm going to take off. I just
wanted to say I couldn't make it to dinner tonight with you and Miss Lewison
tonight. Miss Greybill and I are going out. You understand, don't you? It's
kind of a last minute thing..."
There weren't any supper plans for tonight.
There never were. When you wanted to eat with one of the three, you came over
around dinner time and plopped on the sofa until it was time to cook or call
in. But despite the fact that he wasn't really breaking any previous dinner
dates to her, it still made her blood boil at the thought. She wanted to
release her burst of fury, to tell him that this wasn't the way he should have
done it. But she was an English teacher, standing in front of her class. It was
her duty to remain calm no matter what in front of those children.
So instead of allowing her claws to show,
she gave them a curt nod. "Fine
