Joseph Quinn and characters imagines

nursery teacher 2 - j.q

"what is your name young lady?" Mrs Smith said sternly, Miss Adams looked at the supply teacher with rage. this poor baby had done nothing wrong and this horrible lady was telling her off for it. "Lizzie" she whispered, she didn't want to speak to this lady but she also didn't want to not reply to her.

"speak up" Mrs Smith said loudly, making most of the other kids look up from their drawings. "do you have to speak to her like that? you heard her loud and clear. her name is Lizzie and she's two years old. that is why we are in the play area with the puzzle like i said" Miss Adams said squeezing Lizzie's hand comfortingly. Lizzie kept her eyes on the ground, embarrassment filling her body.

"what you were both doing is wrong. Lizzie you need to learn that you do the same as everyone else and i want you to sit in the time out corner. it was naughty" and with that Lizzie let go of Miss Adams hand and ran straight to the bathroom. she didn't know how to lock the door but she just sat there, sobbing her little heart out. she didn't like being told off and you rarely did, only when she had done something extremely wrong.

but Lizzie knew not to do anything wrong because she didn't want to be on your bad side. getting told off just made her sad and she didn't like being sad. Miss Adams followed Lizzie into the bathroom and stood outside the door. Lizzie would not come out and before she knew it she had been in there for thirty minutes. Miss Adams didn't want to leave the rest of the children out there alone with her but she also couldn't leave a child unattended in the bathroom, so, she stayed with her.

"Lizzie, would you please come out?" Miss Adams said softly, hearing Lizzie's sobbing coming from the other side of the bathroom door. "you haven't done anything wrong Liz. she isn't a very nice teacher and you are doing exactly what you are meant to" she continued, trying to get her out of the bathroom but no luck.

Miss Adams sighed, and just prayed the Joseph's meeting would finish early so she could have some help getting Lizzie out of the bathroom cubicle. Mr Quinn was practically the only person who could calm Lizzie down in the nursery. it took a lot of effort for Miss Adams to calm Lizzie down but with Mr Quinn, he could just hold her and she would calm down. but this was the first time Miss Adams was on her own with Lizzie and she felt like she had already failed.

as if the lord above heard Miss Adams prayers, Mr Quinn walked through the door with a huge smile on his face. he saw the supply teacher approaching him and that's when his smile dropped. "where is Miss Adams?" he asked as he looked around the nursery room not seeing her or Lizzie anywhere.

"there was an incident with a student and Miss Adams. they have been in the bathroom for the past forty minutes. the rest of the students have been extremely well behaved but that student is just naughty" Mrs Smith said making Joseph's eyebrows furrow. Lizzie was never misbehaved and this had completely shocked him.

"okay. i'll see what's going on. thank you for covering me" he replied, brushing past her and walking to his desk. "hi Mr Quinn. urm, that lady was really mean" Daniel, another one of Lizzie's classmates, said after Mrs Smith left the room and Joseph took off his blazer and put down his coffee cup and phone. "thank you for telling me Daniel, i need to see Lizzie but i'll tell Miss Adams to come check on you in a second, why don't you get back to drawing?" and with that Daniel nodded his head and waddled back to his chair and carried on colouring.

Joseph made his way to the bathroom and saw Miss Adams standing there with a worried expression on her face. once she noticed him she went into full panic mode. "i'm really sorry, i tried to calm her down but she was just so horrible to her and she won't-" "hey, it's okay. you tried your best and that's all you could do. why don't you go to see the others, we can't leave them alone" Miss Adams just nodded, disappointed in herself that she couldn't control the situation, and left Joseph with a sobbing Lizzie.
