Something about HER

"Jill!" Sheri whispered. Jill continues to give Sheri grief. Though, in all honesty Jill didn't care, nor did she have room to judge. Jill has done what Sheri is about to do once or twice. Maybe even three times by the time she's done with Anthony. Who knows what his status is? Don't care... But Jill could shamelessly say this, she's never blatantly seen a man's wife and still brazenly flirt with their husband. Sheri was on a whole new level of savagery, and Jill wasn't letting her best friend off the hook so easily. Jill thought to herself, the next time Sheri tries to act all innocent and poise to judge me, imma rub the dirt all up in her face. She continues to push Sheri’s buttons till she gets up to leave and go to the bathroom. Jill was getting ready to tell her to use the gel when unexpectedly, Sheri collides into the Governor. They were a whole tangled mess, Jill practically had to pull them apart before his wife came. The Governor was grateful for her intervention because even he realized he wasn't focused. Upon meeting the governor's wife, Jill was 100% sure, she did not like her. This self-important, condescending chick, made Jill simply want to backhand her. Her whole attitude was trash. She looked down at Sheri and Jill the whole time with fake greetings of kindness. But Jill matched her energy. Like b*tch, your not about to run over me. But Sheri... Practically became her yes girl. And Jill had to fall in line because it wasn't her fight. *** After the awful encounter with Monica, the Governor's wife, Jill got to work on making sure Sheri had a more prominent presence. The girls went to the bathroom, and Jill opened every stall to make sure no one was around. "What was that?!" Jill yelled. "I know right?! Absolute b*tch!" Sheri added. Jill wanted to smack Sheri. "No! You!" Sheri was confused. "You're not focused! When she came up to us all stank, you had no fight in you. You acted like a docile little girl. She said jump and you went 'how high?' Even I had to fall in line." Jill was so infuriated. "Oh...". Sheri said in recollection. "Listen that right there was a freebie. Monica is not about to think that's how things are gonna be moving forward." Jill declares. Sheri was silent but signaled she understood Jill continued as she paced the spacious restroom. "She's the one that had things she wanted to discuss with you, not the other way around. You should of let Monica know what day YOU were available instead of going along with what she choose!" "I know I just got nervous..." Sheri put her hand to her forehead. "Well that needs to be out of your system now that we have a vague idea of what she's about. When we go to the Governor's house, don't act all impressed, as if you've never been in a place like that before, and whatever she asks of you, tell her you need time to deliberate. She's not getting her answer right away." Jill looked at Sheri sternly. "You're right! I'm sorry!... I guess I felt bad about my behavior with her husband that I kind of submitted to her." Sheri admitted. "So are you gonna feel bad about the Governor's behavior too?!" Jill snapped "Takes two to tangle, And y'all was entangled!" "Jill... I don't know if I can be the type of woman that can mess with a married man..." Sheri lowered her head. Well what is she trynna say about me! Jill thought. *** Hey everyone, thank you for your interest in my book, this is my first time writing a story. Hope you enjoyed this excerpt.

Waste of Time

Sheri washed her hands vigorously as she thought about all that just transpired. She couldn't believe the Governor and his wife would just ambush her like that. The more she thought about it the more irritated she became. "What was the point of having me come here, acting as if I had a choice in anything when they knew they were going to do things their way to being with?" Sheri said to her self as she applied on some fancy lotion that was by the sink.

Just then Sheri's phone vibrated. It was Jill.

Jill: Girl, don't feel bad, nobody's messing with Monica right now. She's out here messing with the help because no one wants to talk to her.

Sheri: Good, they probably can't stand her a** either. I'm just over here mad that they high jacked my school and came at me like I had options.

Jill: True. They literally could have just sent an email saying "Dr.Woods, we're taking over your school. Any grievances or concerns, feel free to keep to yourself...."

Sher: 😂exactly!🙄😒

This really was an waste of time and energy. Sheri thought to herself in frustration. They could have just briefed her on the new school year with these new challenges and told her what's what. Or maybe this was an attempt to have her understanding and cooperation. But if Sheri supposed to be excited about working side by side with the Governor's wife then they have no idea who Sheri is as an individual. Big titles don't make her tick. Efficient work ethic and respect is always what Sheri appreciates in individual that works alongside her. Sheri couldn't even picture this side of character in Monica.

Sheri's stomach felt sick at the thought of having to work with Monica. But what else could she do...

The Governor wanted to add 300 to 500 students at one time to her school. King Robert Andrews's population was already slightly under 2400 students and the school was big enough for about 300-350 more to fit comfortably at a "gradual increase" without overcrowding. But 500... Maybe there could be some form of negotiations...

Then again with the extra students means Sheri is no longer faced with the difficult decision of removing seven staff members due to overstaffing. The removal of extra staff was not due for next year, which would be extremely tear-filled because her employees were like a family at King Robert Andrews High School. They were so close and worked so in sync that all issues that Sheri had at her school were not that difficult and definitely could be handled. So having the added students would help her avoid this fate of her beloved coworkers. The more she thought about the possibility of keeping all her staff, she started to feel better about the idea of taking in the refugee students.

"Maybe I'm overreacting..." Sheri whispered to her self as she fixed herself in the mirror. She couldn't help but admire how good she looked. No wonder the Governor couldn't help himself earlier, she thought to herself. Sheri shuddered at the memory, then made her way out the bathroom.

When Sheri stepped out, she yelped as she was quickly grabbed and dragged from the side into an office. When the door was closed, Sheri slapped away the hands that had a hold on her.
