“Bella, I’ve got good news,” said my coworker and teammate,
Angela. “They found a sub for me. And from what I’ve heard, the sub is someone
you know.”
“Really?” I asked, putting down my water and arching a brow
at her. “The only people I hang out with is you and the girls from school. Oh,
and Rose, but that’s not by choice. It’s because she’s my boss/landlord.”
“Well, he put down your name as a reference, but his resume
was so good that Mrs. Cope hired him after we met,” Angela said.
“He?” I whispered and my heart stammered. Memories of my ex-boyfriend
filled my mind, his cruel behavior, the way he took without permission and his
uncaring reaction when I confronted him about stealing from me. “What did he
look like?”
“Tall, handsome, a jaw that could cut glass, piercing green
eyes,” Angela said, her voice turning swoony. “If I wasn’t engaged to Ben, I’d
turn on the flirt to this hottie. Oh, and he had this cool, but unrecognizable
accent. The kids are going to love him.” Angela sat on one of the tables in my
room, crossing her legs. “And to be honest, I don’t know if I’m going to be
back, Bella. This guy, Edward, had stellar credentials and would fit in with
the staff.”
“Edward,” I drawled out. “When is he coming in?”
“He’ll be shadowing me the rest of the week and take over
next week. I’ll be flying out on Sunday,” Angela said. “I gave him your cell
phone number, but he said that he already had it. Are you holding out on me,
Swan?”
“No. He was there for me when I was attacked last weekend,”
I mumbled. “He’s a good guy.” I took out my phone, sending a text to Edward,
but erasing it when I saw him get completely flustered when I gave him my cell
phone number. I made the decision to call him once I got home from my shift at
the bookstore. “I’m glad that you’re all settled with the sub. I’ll help out Edward
whenever I can.”
“Thank you, Bella,” Angela said, hugging me. I stiffly
returned it, smiling tightly. “I have enough stress going on with my mom being
sick. Now, having someone who is capable of taking care of my class, that puts
my mind at ease.”
“Let me know how she’s doing, Angela,” I said. “If there’s
anything you need, please don’t hesitate to call me.”
“I will, Bella,” Angela smiled sadly. “Oh, make sure you
lock your door and any valuables. There’s a new custodian and he’s got sticky
fingers.”
“Thanks for the tip,” I sighed.
