Michelle Dangerfield

Michelle Dangerfield was a PD/H/PE teacher at Begs High School. Michelle worked along with Dr Quinton, Phil Davis, Kari Davis, HG and Kari Philips. Michelle was a caring teacher, but was seen as a loud and sometimes insane, but she was always approachable for advice. Michelle was the longest serving teacher in the Begs Department. Michelle later replaced Dr Quinton Philips as deputy principal.

Insane Teaching Ways
After finishing her degree, Michelle was trained in Sport Recreation and archery. She was one of the few who learnt archery to practice at the school. Michelle landed her PD job in Begs, where she got to know HG and even meet Kari Davis when the time flew by. Michelle's teaching ways were something of a marvel. Michelle always set an obstacle course up for warmup and for warmdown she used back crunches. Michelle always loved to teach rock climbing even though Begs was the prime location for many cliffs.

On a Rec
"Sport and Rec. One of the best things I have ever taught. All the best things come out of people when lives are at stake. No matter who you are. They are always high and fighting for the best figures in the world." "that made no sense." "To you it won't to me...IT's my life." Michelle then aimed an arrow at the arrow board. And got a bulls eye. "It's what we live for! Most of live for blood or footy, I live for arrows and mountains!." "You chose the right town to live in then Dangerfield.." said Quinton who laughed at her. "Yes well, couldn't get any worse." "It could.." "Don't say anything more Quinton."

Fire on the Hill
Quinton was standing on lunch duty and watching the hill. He saw smoke coming from the mountains. Quinton had his phone in hand and called BTEC. "I want to know. How's the fire in the mountains going because it's travelling fast. David these things are unforgiving. Trust me." "I know they are. How far do you think it is from the school?" "A kilometer at least. I'm notifying the principal." Quinton hung up and rung the principal. "Gaz, that fire is moving quickly." "Let it get closer and then we'll evacuate." "I don't think so." "Quin--" Quinton then radioed the office and said "It's moving fast. Wait for my signal and we'll evacuate to the other field." Quinton could see the flames getting closer. Quinton then said "Now." Quinton then had the microphone and saw the kids stepping out of classrooms, They had a look of worry. "I want you all to move to the other oval. We have a fire moving quickly over the hills. It gets any closer and the school is over." "But what about you Quinton?" said Kari. "I'll make sure everyone is out of the building." "But what about your wife?" "I have nothing to lose. Now go.." Kari held Quintons hand and said "Quinton I don't want to tell her we had to scrape you off the floor, don't do this." Quinton held Kari's hand and said "Call Jen. Tell her I love her. I'm glad I met you." Quinton then hugged Kari and walked back into the building. Quinton watched as the hills burned. Quinton put his hand on the window. Quinton saw a helicopter above the flames and Quinton was walking through T block and opened the door to see a class still going on. "You guys need to go. There is a fire on the hills it's spreading quickly. Go." The class quickly left and Quinton made his way to the library. As there was no-one in the library Quinton picked up the radio and contacted Kari. "Kari how is everyone?" Kari responded and said "Quinton, you're still alive. What's the progress on that fire. "Fast moving. It's on the edge of the hills." "Quinton get out of there. Jen is with me. Common." "Put her on." "Quinton, you've done enough. Get out of there.." "You know I can't. I'm stuck here. Not really but I'm prepared to save others from dying.." "But not yourself.." "Trust me on this. write a book about it." "That's actually a good idea.." "Just don't called the character Quinton.." Quinton then said goodbye and turned off his radio. Quinton called out to the librarian to see if he could hear her. "Lucy!" Quinton walked into her office and saw her face down on her desk. "Jesus Christ Lucy.." Quinton could feel no pulse she had been dead for a while. Quinton laid her down and placed a sheet over her. Quinton left the library and walked back to T block. There he saw the rapid onset of fire. Quinton grabbed his radio and said "Confirmed everyone out." "Except you Quinton. Out now.." Quinton looked on in horror as the oval was alight. "There goes the oval.." "Grass grows back Quinton. Lives don't." Quinton had a long thought. "Leaving now.." Quinton was rushing out the building when he tripped and hit his head on the ground, knocking him unconscious. "Quinton. Quinton. Are you there?" said Kari. "We're sending help." Kari turned to the fire chief and said "Find him! Find him now.." "We need to know what was his last location.." "He said he was near the library. I want radio contact on when you find him.." "Can do.' The fire chief then got his radio and said "Putting in a call a 44-PIB. Find and extract. Radio contact to be maintained." The fire chief then went with his crew. "That fire wont be the first thing that kills him.." "You thinking he fell?" "I don't know what I'm thinking of.." The firefighters finally found Quinton. "Oh shit.." "What is it?" "I found him.." "Alive?" "Yes. Barely though." "Full spinal precautions." "What's the news.." said the radio. "We found him." "Is he ok?" "He'll live to fight another fight. He hit his head. We don't know how hard." "Take him." Quinton was taken to hospital and given the all clear of brain damage. But his true fight just begun. 3 days later Quinton woke up, beside him Kari. "Welcome back to the world Quinton.." Quinton looked around and said "How bad?" "Only minor bruising.. You're lucky to be alive.." "Was anyone else in the building?" "Just the librarian. But tests confirmed she suffered a heart attack before the event." "How's the school?" "We lost the oval. But grass can grow back. T Block is destroyed, we're having that repaired as we speak. The rest of the school is unharmed." Quinton then said "I'm lucky to be alive then.." "Why?" "I just left the room in T block when I feel." "Funny that. They found you near wood tech.. You were in T block." "I don't remember.. Going in T block. Why don't I have burns then?" "Because you fell and staggered your way to the left exit.." Dr Philips-Rogers walked in and said "If not for your thinking Quinton everyone would be dead the school wouldn't be standing anymore.." Jack walked over to Quinton and said "You suffered a concussion and a small bleed, that resolved itself and no damage was seen on the MRI scan."

Climbing the top
Michelle was climbing one of her favourite mountains on the Begs Coast. Mount Dangerous, the mountain she climbed all the time but never reached the top because of light restrictions. Michelle was climbing this time early in the morning. Michelle had spent hours on the mountain and she was on the top by early afternoon, she was tired and she packed a tent just in case she didn't make it down in time. Michelle set up for the night and took a 'selfie' and early next morning she went back down. Michelle posted the photo to her social media and wrote "Finally made it to the top.. Finally made the dream, it's all coming true." As Michelle got home she sat down and saw the comments on her photo go up to 100. Michelle was now the most experienced person in the town.

Another Mountain
Michelle was sitting in the staffroom when Quinton introduced someone she wanted to always see. "Mountain Climber Jerry Yins.." "The one and only." he said as he shook her hand. "I've heard about your love for mountain climbing and I would love you to join me in climbing Mt Bareback." "No one has ever survived going down the mountain. Not even the help. I like a challenge. Sure thing.." Michelle later went climbing with Jerry and was the best she ever felt. They reached the top and Michelle took a selfie with Jerry. "This is amazing!" "It is. This is the world at your feet!" A news crew was settled down at the bottom of the mountain and the news reporters all saying "It's day 12 of the climb of Mt Bareback, teacher Michelle Dangerfield and climber Jerry Yins are halfway down the decent. The deadly part of this climb. Many other climbers have fallen into crevasses and died." A few hours later they got to the bottom. "Tonight breaking news. Teacher and climber Michelle Dangerfield, and Jerry Yins have made it down Mt Bareback alive. After a 3 day hike." Michelle took to the reporter and the reporter said "How does it feel to make it down the mountain alive.." "I feel great. But I do need a shower, some food and some sleep.." "So just tired.." "I just said that mate... I'm going to go home now."

Quinton the Deputy
Michelle was glad that someone she knew got the deputy position. Michelle never knew how it could be one of her own PE members that would do the job. Michelle at the time refused to take the Head Teacher position as she was already to busy for that business and decided not to.

Making a friend
As Kari met the PE staff in her first few days of being at Begs, she first met Michelle Dangerfield, "You must be Kingy? Welcome to the crew. Dangerfield Michelle." "Kari." "Popular name that. Especially here." "I've heard." "Nah. It's a nice name sure beats mine." "You remind me of my colleague down south. We made fun of her because she sounded like a bird. She wanted a cracker." "Polly? Ha! gold!" Kari then said "Yeah, 20 years we worked together. Now I'm up here it's time to start new friendships. It'll be worth it." "It's always worth it. This is m 3rd school and it's worth the wait, and do you want to know something?" "What?" "I taught Quinton. And I supported him throughout his NOL career. So we've known each other for years." "That's cool."

Can't Stop Me
Dangerfield was sitting in the staffroom after a lesson and she was in pain after an intense gym session, she knew her body needed to stop with the gym and mountain climbing. Michelle was rubbing her leg around the calf area because of the intense pain she was getting. "Kari, can you take my class next? I've gotta get this calf checked out." "You need to give up mountain climbing Michelle. Your body doesn't give." Michelle limped out to her car and drove to the doctors. Michelle later got her answer. "All medical advice points out for you to stop mountain climbing Michelle. You're lucky it wasn't more serious. Only a torn calf, and hamstring. You need to stop this madness. Because if your blood pressure rises any further from this climbing you can say goodbye to this life you live." Michelle gave it thought and agreed not to go under the knife. Michelle put in the paper she was giving up her life of mountain climbing and sold her gear to prove it, she finally gave up one of her hobby that she enjoyed.

Calf
"What is up?" "My calf is screwed from all those climbing expeditions. It doesn't matter any more. I was getting to old for that. And it was the thing that had to happen. I needed to stop. I was going to die if I didn't stop." 'But that would be a bad offence, how would one die with a torn calf?" "Going up a mountain would cause excess blood and it would cause something weird in the body."

Game Day
"I've called in a favour. And BET has been notified about the matches. We will do it this way Quinton. Teachers V Students. Teachers V Teachers and Teachers V Ex-players, abiding by the rules in the NOL handbook. There will be matches played." said Kari to Quinton. Quinton let out a big smile and said "Let the games begin." Kari called for an assembly and had it announced. "Today there will matches played for a one off game of three. NOL rules and refs. And students will be picked at random to play in one match aganist the teachers and maybe on ourside to if you are up for it. Play will begin after students and staff have picked their teams and are ready for play." Kari handed the mic back to Quinton and Quinton said "On the teachers team. Kingram, Kingram, Davis, Davis, Dangerfield, Philips (Me), Sands, Bolla, Franks, Mandy. Bench Players are all the TAS staff." "Student team is picked. Now lets get ready to kick ass."The teachers went down to the field and Quinton was getting ready and so were the staff. Kari said to Quinton "Don't injure yourself buddy because I don't want to be the deputy again.." "Just a word of advice Kari, Franky is so close to being slapped in the head, I wont stop the person who will do it."

Quinton Quits
Quinton was watching his PE class from a distance and he was pondering his next career move. Quinton lifted his hand over his face and then he heard a familiar voice. "What's the choice now Quinton.. You've been shunned... You're now a failure... What do these kids think of you.." "They think I'm ok. I don't know about the spray I gave them." Quinton turned around and saw that it was Roy. "Roy..." "Quinton.. You need to make a choice.. Be the best.." "I can't do that anymore. Not now Roy." Roy could sense Quinton was about to go off. "Now listen to me Quinton.." Quinton then snapped. "No you listen to me. I've done all I could for these kids. And you know what they do to me? They all give up when they are close to the finish line." "Quinton you caused your entire PD class to drop out of the subject! Art and geography classes are now stronger then ever." "And you know what?" "What.." "You can find a new teacher, because I am done.. I quit.." Roy's jaw dropped and Quinton walked away. Roy turned to Quinton's class and walked straight to them. Whilst Quinton packed his stuff and he walked to his car. He got in and he drove home. This time he left the school for good.As Roy called for a meeting of his staff he was worried that Quinton would take a turn for the worst. So he ordered in a MPR (Missing Persons Report) and reported him missing from the school. Roy walked in to the worried looks of the staff. "What's this about Roy?" said Kari. "Quinton just walked away from the school." "And we should care why?" "He screamed it. He yelled to me that he quit.. He walked away in angry terms and now he is missing."

Quinton Reinstated
As Quinton went through anger management and his community service he was placed in front of a tribunal. On the tribunal was the head teachers of Begs High and the head members of BET. Quinton had quit his drinking and he managed to conquer a new lease on life. "Mr. Quinton Philips, this tribunal has been set in place to either deny or put your return in place. Why do you think we should give you a return to teaching?" "Teaching is my life.. Teaching makes me feel a lot better. I know teaching can help as many people as it possibly can. I will never give up on a student I never want to see them hurt, I want to seem them be successful." Quinton said. The head of history Mr. Lopez then said "Dr Quinton. You do know this will make or break you? Have you given up the alcohol? The anger issues?" "I gave up the alcohol. I didn't want any more damage then needed be. I have changed my ways. I want to go back to teaching.. Its been a long road back.." "2 years Mr. Philips.." "As I said.. A long road.." As the people on the hearing were reaching their decision, Quinton was asked to go outside so he could learn his fate. "What do you think Kingram? Does he deserve another chance?" "I believe he does.." "What about you Roy? He's one of the deputy teachers, what do you think.." "I think this meeting is bullshit.. And you know it. Quinton needs to do his job again, a teacher without work is like a fullback without the NOL. It wont work.." Kari then said "Just imagine without Quinton, there is no Begs. There is no competitive schooling and remember that Quinton is the best of the best and we cannot let him go until he is fully ready.." 2 hours later Quinton was called back into the room, his palms sweating and his thoughts racing. "Mr. Philips. the tribunal has decided on your future." he paused as Cuddy took over. "We have decided to allow you back in to the education force." Then Kari said "On a factor that you don't take a case outside of school. Inside is fine." Quinton breathed a sigh of relief and this time he knwe that his chances were up. No more trouble and no more mistakes. "I have something to say.." said Roy.. "Quinton will have to take over a principal as I am going to take stress leave.." "We can do that." Quinton then said "I'm going to take classes once a fortnight and get a takedown on bullying."

Telling The Truth
Michelle knew what she had done. She didn't want to be there when he knew that she voted for him not to come back. "Kari.." said Michelle. "I voted no.. I didn't want him back.." "I know you didn't, but he's the best we've got.." "Best.. Bullshit.." "Mich, you quit your hobby of climbing mountains.. So don't start.." "I wont Kari.. Because Quinton may be a principal, but he doesn't know how we work anymore.. And we all voted no, so what does that tell you?" "We were prepared not to have him back at all." "yes.. We are better off without him."

Quinton's injury
Quinton was with his mum and dad on the rod, they were having a weekend get away. Quinton's mum named Samantha and his dad named Stan. Stan then said "Quinton, do you have anything to say to us?" Quinton looked down and said "I failed you guys, I know I should have never resulted to drinking and then punching the dude in the face. But all I want to do is to go camping." "Son I'm disappointed at what you did. And doing that is something we can never talk about again." "Then why are we talking about?" "So we can get it out in the open! Quinton you were a doctor, played for your country and state and why do you think you are one of the most influential people in our state?" "I don't know ma! Because I helped all those people.." "Yeah you did but what else have you done. You managed to get a girl back her life, made a mother bring in a stupid foundation for ants! and managed to give lives and entertainment to those who needed it." As they came up to the spot they camped at the most. When Quinton hoped out he noticed a tree branch dangling from a height. He looked down and said, 'Careful there's a hanging branch there one hit and your dead." "I know son, that's why we won't camp in this spot we'll move 5 metres that way." his dad pointing to the well. As Quinton lifted his bag out of the car the branch from the tree fell and struck him on his legs. He was pinned by the branch. Quinton yelled out "Dad! Get help!" Stan turned around and saw Quinton's legs bleeding and Quinton shaking from pain. "Jesus Christ!. Quinton!" "Ring for help dad!" "On it.." Stan reached for his phone and called for help. He called for them to bring a chopper and some big men to help move a branch crushing his sons legs. Stan hung up and said "they'll be here in a while." "How long is awhile?" "They said an hour at least." "Jesus.." Quinton then said "Mum.. Get the towel out of the bag and wrap it around the cut on my forehead." His mum did what her son told him to. As Quinton also had his arms pinned he couldn't tell if he had a spinal injury. "Mum. Can you do something for me?" "Yeah what?" "Push your hands on my feet." "Can you feel that?" "Yeah I can.." Just as his mum stood up help arrived. "You've got yourself stuck in a hard place Quinton." "Thanks, why don't you HELP ME OUTTA here please.." As medics took over Quinton whispered to one of them "My left leg.. I cant feel it." "Probably cause there is a tree on it." "I'm being serious. My left leg I can barely feel anymore." "We're getting there slowly Quinton you'll be free soon." As Stan and Samantha were moved back to the car and were told to go home. Quinton was freed but carefully placed in a neck brace and his legs splinted. "Lets get you outta here." "So much for a camping trip." Quinton was quiet during trip to the hospital as the last time he was there, he was saying goodbye to a student. "Quinton we need you to stay awake." As they got into the ambulance bay Quinton had finally lost consciousness. "He's unco!" "What the hell happened?" "Tree branches fell on him, arms and legs trapped, lac to forehead and neck." Trish then said "Lets get him to x-ray then to surgery." As his x-ray's were taken Trish and another doctor were looking at them. "What's his job?" "He is the principal at the high school.." "Look at this.." "C5, C4.. Incomplete fracture.. spiral of the fibula.." "His career is on the brink of being over. His unconscious right now, and surgery should be successful. If the cord is damaged he wont be walking anywhere fast.." Trish then said "The news is on it quick.. look.." As Trish turned the TV on it was on the news. "We cross to breaking news tonight." "That's right Jackie. Dr Quinton Philips has been taken to hospital in a critical condition after tree branches fell on him during a camping trip with his parents. I'm standing outside the hospital that he was taken to and doctors say he has fractures to his legs and a neck injury. Teachers at Begs High have been contacted and the vice principal."

Injury (2)
As Quinton was taken into surgery staff from the high school were there waiting for him to come out of surgery. Trish walked out of the operating room and saw the staff. "Trish? How is he doing?" "Incomplete injury to the C4 and 5. Broken legs and cuts everywhere, he was a mess. He lost consciousness whilst in the ambo bay. He's on a ventilator. And what he looks like isn't good." Kari then said "He taught PE for so long, wouldn't you think that he wouldn't have parked under a tree with falling branches?" "Kari, the tree was 10 metres away from the car. He was in the wrong place, it wasn't his fault. It was just bad timing." "How long did it take for help to arrive." "He was with his parents for 2 hours. He asked his mother to push against his feet so he could feel his legs." "Did/ can he feel his legs?" "His left one has nerve damage his right one is broken in 3 places. Surgeons are still working on his neck." "So this could be the end of Quinton's career. A tree branch has ended his career.." "Believe Kari.. It's not the end of the world.." said Roy. "He will do what is right to get back into his career." "His career has gone to shit ever since his controversial walk out, why should we help him?" "Because he's still our friend Phil.. We still have hope.." The neck surgeon who worked on Quinton came out and said "He's gonna need you all." they all turned around and looked. "His C4 wasn't fractured only his C5, which means he will regain his strength over time. But his legs are another story.. Nerve damage from his left knee down, they've repaired the nerve, from the broken bones. His right leg only had deep cuts. We've repaired the cuts. And he should be good." "What about his condition?" "He is still critical. Neck injuries can cut off air to the lungs, but he was lucky. If it was a centimeter lower, he would be dead." "No cord injury?" "None. He is a lucky man. Trish walk with me. See you all later." Trish then said "What's this about Ryan." "His condition is on and off. Whatever we do, his life is in the balance, no joke." "What so he's?" "Both critical and stable.. Its a balancing act." "Shit.." "Don't say anything. Surgery is done and they can go and see him if they want to. His family where are they?" "They were told to go home. They just had shock they were fine. Quinton told me once his family weren't to get involved." "But his colleagues are fine with this?" "Whatever they do, they're a strong bunch of people." Trish then said "I'll take them to see him." Trish walked away and back to the staff. "Can we see him?" "You can but I have to advise you that what you will see is gonna be a shock.. You've never seen him like this. There are tubes and bandages everywhere." Trish walked the staff to Quinton's room. Trish opened the door. Kari and John were the first in. "Oh my god.." Kari had to look away, as tubes were coming out his arms, his leg and chest. John looked down and said "How long has he been on the ventilator." "Since he lost consciousness in the ambo bay, 5 hours ago." said Trish. Roy then said "Our strongest man has been decimated by a tree. But he will be better then ever when he returns." Roy then placed a card next to his phone and said "Get well soon Quinno." Trish then said "I need you to know if he does want to return to work.. If he does.. Make sure he gets a desk job.." "We can do that."3 days later Quinton was still in intensive care, and things were touch and go for him. He had three more surgeries on his legs to repair damage. Quinton now was a long chance of ever waking up. Trish was still waiting by his side waiting for him to wake up. "How's he doing?" said Kari. "He's strong.. But whatever happens, something will be aware of it." As Trish looked back down she saw Quinton open his eyes. "Quinton, welcome back to the world.." Kari then said "Do you remember what happened?" Trish paged Dr Ryan and then said to Quinton. "You've busted your legs and your neck is in a brace.." Ryan walked in and said "You paged Nurse?" Trish pointed and said "He's awake.." Ryan walked over to Quinton and he said "You're a lucky man Quinton.. But since you have a trachy in your neck we'll keep that in there to help you breath and will start a fierce component of the neck rehab in a couple of weeks." Quinton huskily said "Call my dad.. Tell him the truth he needs to know what's up." "We've already told them." "Kari.. Who is the principal?" "Roy's taken over again. You on the other hand need to listen for once." Quinton then said "How much damage was there?" 'Incomplete fracture of the C5. And nerve damage to your left leg. The other leg was cuts and bruises.' Ryan asked Quinton if he could lift up his arms. "Lift them for me.." Quinton lifted his arms and made a fist with them. "No damage to the nerves in the arms, no weakness on both sides.. You are something special Quinton." "I heal differently then most people. But spinal injuries are not something I take lightly. I will do whatever it takes to walk again.." "YOU do know it takes at least a year for nerve regrowth?" "I know.." Quinton then said "I remember the words you said to an unconscious person, Ryan.. You said if I'd wake up it would be the thing that others would never have seen. What did you mean by that?" "You've been in intensive care for 3 weeks. And you're still touch and go Quinton. You are not out of the woods yet. You have a brace and we are controlling your comfort and breathing.." As Quinton was about to say something he dropped in and out of consciousness. "Quinton.. Stay with us.." said Ryan as Trish prepared to take him to surgery again. "What's happening?" said Kari. "Kari call his family. This isn't a run of the mill injury. I think he's having a bleed on the brain.." Kari looked in shock as Quinton's neck brace was removed to see scarring from the previous surgery. Kari walked out the door, and as she reached for her phone. Quinton's parents were in front of her. "What happened?" "He was talking and he was awake not just ten minutes ago." Ryan walked out and he said "He's going back to surgery I am sorry. He's showing symptoms of a bleed." Ryan and Trish were wheeling out Quinton when, Samantha looked on.

Again
As the door closed Kilmer came in and said "We welcome you back with open arms, Dr Quinton, but we need to discuss something." "What is it. Everyone here deserves to know." "The Board of Education has put you on probation from any activity that puts you and your neck at risk. We've decided to bring you in a deputy putting Kari back to the PDHPE department." "Thank god for that!." said Kari. "The Board of Education will also give you 6 months to prove that whatever is in your interest we can double. Since you were camping with family the BET has decided not to give a settlement but if you retire we will settle in a out of court time." Quinton then said "I don't need a settlement. I am returning to work next week. I don't need to prove myself.." "As we thought, but we will like you to know, whatever you need we can help." As Kilmer walked out he smiled a wide smile.

The Deputy
"Michelle, I know you've been enjoying some much needed rest but I need you to do something for me.." said Kilmer to Michelle. "Why what's the matter?" "Quinton's returned back to the PDHPE department and he just called me saying he made his choice." "That choice was 7 months in the making.." "He's quit the deputy position." "He did what?" "He quit the position to go back to what he knows best." "Where does that bring me into the mix?" "Since you're one of the most experienced BET has decided for you to take the position.. What do you say?" Michelle was surprised. "Of course.. I'll take it. But why didn't Kari want it?" "Kari, Kari, John and Phil are to busy welcoming Quinton back and Quinton needs a distraction to get over his spinal injury.." "Just one question.." "Yes?" "Is he chairbound like Saunders was?" "No he's up and walking.." Michelle nodded and said "Alright I'm in, but under my circumstances. 1) I have Mondays off, 2) I can take back the rules of funding toward any department, 3) We finish off the floor for the dance shed." "3 is stupid you only dance once a year.. No on three. The other two are fine." "Alright then, we tell Quinton that we're brining you in tomorrow. I told him it's an old friend taking over his position. Michelle and Kilmer shook hands. Kilmer walked back to Quinton's office and knocked on the door. "I see you're still here Quinton." "Packing my stuff. Bringing in the new deputy requires skill, and I'm not arguing any more. I've made a good choice." Kilmer then said to Quinton, "I'm coming back tomorrow to talk and you are going to be the person who hands over the ranks. It's going to be fine." Quinton smiled and then he said "No matter what I do, it not about me anymore." As Quinton left the room with his stuff Kilmer smiled and chuckled to himself. The next day Quinton met up with Kilmer and Kilmer said "Quinton, here read off this. It'll help." Quinton took the paper and he said "Alright good." Quinton then saw Kari walking toward the hall. "Kari!. Come here for a second." Kari walked over and said "Yeah what's up?" "The P&C is breathing down our necks about this, but here take this camera and film the new changing of the guard. Kilmer will tell you when to stop filming." "What after that." "Onto the schools website and page, parents need to know what is going on." "Alright on it." As Quinton stepped up to the stage, he sat down and waited for his call up. Whilst Quinton was sitting down he made a 'rolling' sign to Kari and Kari started to film. The school captains then said "We'd like to welcome Dr Quinton Philips and Mr. David Kilmer to discuss the future of the deputy principal position. Dr Quinton." As Quinton stood up he had the paper Kilmer gave to him, Quinton placed the paper and the stand and he put the mic to his face. "Good morning teachers, students and members of the Board of Education. For the past couple of months, I have been contemplating a move back to the PDHPE department and a future as deputy principal. Today is the day I make a move to the future. Today I have decided to move back to the department that welcomed me with open arms. I am going back to the PDHPE department." As the crowd drew whispers Quinton continued "As this is a move of change, the position has been offered to many, and only one person selected to take it." Outside the hall Michelle was walking up the steps, she was ready to take on the biggest career move to date. "I'd like to welcome to the deputy position Ms. Michelle Dangerfield." As Michelle walked up to the stage, Quinton stepped away from the mic and reached for the plate that had the badges on it. "Ms. Dangerfield I present you will your name badge and your position badge." As Quinton placed them on Dangerfield's shirt he then received the mic. "These badges will identify who you are and they will tell a story for years to come." "I also present you with the key to the deputy offices, the key offers to open record folders and files." As Michelle stepped to the mic she said "Thank you Dr Quinton, but this is to much. Just let me sink in to the job first." Quinton nodded and said "Go for it." Michelle continued "Just a couple of days ago I was on long service leave because I'd lost a close friend, for about 3 months I walked away from teaching, and walked away from something I held close to me. But receiving the call from BET declaring that Dr Philips decided he needed to go back to the PD department, was the wake up call I needed." As Kilmer was on the stage he decided that he wouldn't say anything. "Today I humbly accept this offer to be the deputy principal and I wont make promises I wont keep, but I promise one thing. To do my job." As Michelle stepped down, Quinton got up again and said "It's been a long couple of years, but we have a new deputy and one who wont make the same mistakes I did. I thank you all for your support and words of encouragement." Quinton then stepped down from the stage and Kari stopped filming.

Changing Times
As Michelle was setting up her new office she was putting a photo of her family on her desk and she stared at her mum and dad. "Miss you guys.." As Michelle sat down Kari would in and said "There's the new boss! How you doin'?" "I'm good, glad to do this job. Just different to see me here and not Quinno eh?"

Not Knowing
Quinton was sitting in his old office, and it was the way he left it. A mess, and it was going to be the same for the next while. Quinton then stepped down into his underground medical bunker and he said to the staff on duty, 'I am releving you of duty. I'm going to let you all go and find a job in a hospital." Quinton said with his head held down. "You're about to do a runner aren't you Quinton.." said on Doctor. Quinton lied "No.. I want you all to get a proper job with the skills you have. Some will be the best surgeons others good nurses. Go on let your dreams come true." As staff started to pack up the medical gear, Quinton saw Dr Ryan, "Ryan.. I never remember having you here as a part of this medical team." "You didn't.. You are running away.. From what Quinton? Staff? A broken neck? It's not going to help, people here love you including your son." "My son wants nothing to do with me anymore and I respect that decision.." "No Quinton. You're running away from this life because you came back from a broken neck to teach PE again and you are going to let people think that running away is a good thing.." Quinton then said "I'm not going back home to Snowy Region I'm going back to home old house to enjoy what I have left." Quinton then slowly walked away.. "What about Kari and John.. You've let them down.." Quinton then said "Do what you want with the staff here.. Send them to the hospital they can work there full time.." Quinton got back to his old office and he put the keys of the table but didn't lock the door. Quinton then walked to the PE staffroom when he was stopped by Kari. "Quinton, do you know where we left the reports for the profit of the team going to go play netball?" "No.." Kari walked away and got to the staffroom and he sat down at his desk. He started writing a note in his workbook. His note reading "Dear Staff members who find this, I hope it finds you well. I've decided to walk away from teaching for a lttle while. I need some time to myself and I need to re-discover myself, and make sure I am up for the challenges that face me when I return..". Quinton then placed his book on his chair and walked out of the staffroom. Quinton then walked up to the sign in room and he signed off his name and he wrote "Gone, Walked Out", as it was early in the morning and no one would take any notice. As Quinton walked out he saw Michelle with Kari talking about the budget as normal. "Quinton!.." "What?" Quinton said as he turned around. "The budget needs and extension, what do you think?" "It's my money you're using I dont care. Do what you want.." Quinton then walked away but up to the front of the school. "Where is he going?" said Kari. "I don't know. But if he is running.. He's not going to get far." Kari then walked down to the staffroom and Michelle back to her office. Quinton saw John walking into the school, and Quinton purposely bumped into John and made John drop his folder with work in it. "Oh nice one Quinton.. Help me pick it up.." Quinton turned around and said "Go fuck yourself John.." John then turned and said "What the hell is wrong with you/ First you come to work to just leave! And you don't help me pick up assessment tasks.. If you are going to be in such a bad mood.. Go home and sit down. Go on facebook and watch a movie. Or better yet.. Stop thinking about yourself!" as John yelled Michelle rushed out of her office and said "What is going on?" John ignored Michelle and said to Quinton "Just for once, think about us staff members who don't have attitude when it comes to work. And remember that I am one member who works harder than anyone." Quinton then said "How about no John.." "How about yes! I came to work here by invitation. One more stuff up from you, and you can say goodbye to the people who helped save your NOL career. And who came to every one of the stupid season games! How about a little respect! Hey! HEY!.." Quinton walked away slowly. "That's right walk away.. Like you did in your final year of uni.. Walk away and go cry about how no one will help you.. There is help around you just have to open your eyes and listen to us. You only listen to yourself.. I hope you get hit by karma, because we've had enough of your crap.." John picked up his stuff and Michelle then said "John.. that was unnecessary but something I want you to keep doing." John nodded as he walked away. And Michelle had no choice but to report Quinton for misconduct. As Quinton was in his car he watched as he drove away from the school. As Quinton got home he was mad, and he grabbed the closest flower pot and smashed it against the wall. Quinton went on to his social media account and read the anger of his walking out.. It wasn't the way Quinton had it. Back at the school Kari was talking to Michelle about his misconduct charge. "Kari.. tell me something.." "Anything.." "What did John mean by 'Just like you walked away from your last year of Uni' did he walk away from Orthopaedics or teaching?" "He almost never became a doctor. He couldn't get that 0.42% of his final mark.. It sent him insane and he had to walk away and do his final exam 3 times, before his last exam he took he passed by 1% he was ecstatic.. But in my eyes, I would've never wanted treatment from Quinton.." "I just hope he doesn't do something stupid.." Just as Michelle said that Dr Ryan walked up to Michelle and said "Quinton, cleared out his 'Underground Medical Bunker..' He sent them all to work at the hospitals across the state!" Kari's eyes then almost exploded out of her head. "It's serious if he's cleared out his Medical Bunker.." "I'm sorry his what?" "His medical bunker was in the office he used for peace and quiet, he made an underground link between the school and the Begs Hospital. Only a select few were told. BET doesn't even know about it.." "We do now!" said Kilmer from behind. "Kilmer!" "Yes.. And we have all the evidence we need to terminate his employment.." "Not just yet David.. He's gone missing and we've tried calling."

Quinton Retires
As Quinton was getting ready he decided it was the right time to give it all up. He was truly finished with teaching and needed a life to himself. As he left the school on bad terms, he needed to set it out right. Quinton went to the school that night and left cakes on staff desks and rubbed off 'missing' from the sign in room, Quinton then went home and he returned again in the morning. As he walked in from the car park, Quinton saw John and said "John.." John looked over and said "What do you want? Drop my assessments again?" "No.. I want to apologise. I'm sorry.." "To late.. You've done it now Quinton.." "John.." "No Quinton.. You left us in a time of need. We've taken Kilmer to teach your classes as you've been drinking yourself to death.." "I haven't been drinking!" "You left your phone on your desk and a note with your keys.. You've done it this time.." John walked away, as Michelle walked up to him. "Glad to see you again.. What do you need this time?" "A press conference." Michelle knew what this meant and she pulled him aside. "You do this, and the next thing we'll agree on is our social media post vialing you.. Understand.. This time you cannot take a retirement back." Quinton then said "I know Michelle. I know.." As Michelle walked away to talk to Roy, Kari walked up to Quinton and said "Do you know why everyone has a cake in their staffroom?" "I don't know why?" "No reason.." Kari turned around before saying "You're going to quit aren't you?" "I'm done Kari.. It's over.." Kari smiled as she walked away. Michelle walked back over and said "We need you to fill out this form before you retire.. It's your resignation form." Quinton grabbed the piece of paper and he signed the resignation form. As Roy was watching him sign his life to quit, he said "The way you walked out on us Quinton. it was harsh.. Kilmer had to take your place and he is not one of the best PE teachers you can have as a replacement.." "You can do something for me Roy.." "What?" "Bring in another doctor who teachers PDHPE.." "I don't know if we can do that.. After what happened with you.." "Do it and see how high marks go.." As Quinton looked up and said "There.. Fully signed and completed." "What are you going to do after you walk away one final time.." "Live life.." As Quinton looked out the window he saw a press conference crew out there waiting for him. "one last time.." "One last time.." said Roy. As Quinton and Roy walked out together, students were sitting down to lunch and teachers walking back to classrooms. Loud whispers took over and Quinton faced the students saying to them "Whisper all you like.. This is something that needs to be done.." As Quinton said that, Kari had the camera ready to take photos of for the schools social media page. "Are you ready Quinton?" said the Press leader. "Ready as I'll ever be.." "Alright... 3,2,1 action.." As the camera flashed on, Quinton swallowed and said "Today I announce my official retirement from teaching. I have served Begs High for over 30 years. I served as the Head Teacher of PDHPE for 14 years, before becoming the deputy principal and later on the principal before going back to the PE department. This decision wasn't easy as I loved to teach. This was a decision to be able to bring in a new teacher for the PE staff, as my aging body and mental capacity has taken over. I would like to thank all the teachers and students for allowing me to teach and work alongside them throughout the years. Thank you and goodbye.. One.. Last.. Time.." As Quinton stepped away from the camera, Roy took his place and said "Thank you for all the educational value you've brought us Mr. Philips, as a farewell present. We'd like to give you this gift basket of goodies, and we hope you enjoy your retirement." Roy and Quinton shook hands and that's when the camera stopped rolling. Kari took three photos, one of Quinton and Roy shaking hands, one of Quinton starting his interview and the last one of Quinton talking about his career. As Kari uploaded the photos in the social media page, she wrote "MR. QUINTON PHILIPS ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT'. Luckless teacher Quinton Philips announced his retirement from teaching after over 30 years of service to education. Quinton began his teaching career at Begs, where he became Head Teacher of PDHPE, and later becoming the deputy principal and principal. Quinton had an up and down career, injuring his neck and a couple of controversial moments. But as he retires he leaves so much behind. We thank Quinton for his service and we wish him the best in his future endeavours". As Kari posted this to the schools page, Quinton walked over to Kari and said "Good luck Kari, and make sure you keep that promise for me.." "What promise was that again?" "To use my old room as a study room or a new sport area.. Or least let your kids use it.." Kari smiled and said "Yeah I'll kept it.." Quinton smiled as he hugged Kari, Michelle, Kari and Kim. Quinton then got the rest of his things and put them into his car. As Quinton was about to get into his car he looked at the kids who were having lunch and the teachers that were on duty. This time was the last time and Quinton wasn't thinking about it. As he smiled Quinton got into his car and drove home.
