Requested by @End_Me_Now, thanks for requesting! Hope you like it.

It was just another weekday, and just another weekday meant school, but this wasn't just any other day at school. Today was when the school was to be inspected by superintendent Chalmers, so that kept Skinner on his toes all morning. He was nervous, of course, as he knew he wasn't liked by the superintendent, but he had to admit that he was going easier on the school recently and even overlooked a few minor issues, and all because of you.

He watched with jealousy as you two walked through the school doors, linked arm in arm and laughing at something. You quite recently started working here as a teacher, and had made firm friends with Chalmers, but this made Seymour jealous as he was in love with you. Why him though? It was bad enough that you didn't want him, but why Chalmers? That's really what you call insult to injury. His train of angry thought was interrupted by Chalmers calling him.

"SKINNER!" He bellowed as he usually did. "That always sends him running!" He chuckled and you laughed at this.

"Yes, superintendent?" He answered and appeared out of nowhere , wide eyed and trembling like he always was around the superintendent.

"Well, Seymour, i can happily say that this school passed the inspection!" He smiled as he checked off something on a note.

"Oh, happy days!" Skinner cheered. "I mean, thank you, sir"

Of course, the school passing really had nothing to do with Skinner or even the school itself really, but Chalmers was willing to turn a blind eye to some things that didn't quite meet safety standards, but only did so because of your charm as you told him you would sort them out as quickly as possible and because of your firm friendship.

Chalmers eventually left and Skinner gazed enviously as you said your goodbyes and waved to him as he drove off. "Oh, (y/n), why him? Of all the men you could've picked, why him? why not someone i could actually compete with? What does he have that i don't? His own house and car? I bet he doesn't even bother to send her a Christmas card" He muttered and closed the blinds in his office and sat down, still dismayed by this morning's events. 

He was a bit moody after all this and just wanted to take it out on someone, but who? Nothing major, just something pathetic till his disappointment died down. Chalmers? Nah, gotta suck up to the boss after all. You? Nope. Definitely not. He would never stand a chance with you then, and he was too busy respecting women to be annoyed with you. How about groundskeeper Willie? Ooh, now HE was a good choice.

"Willie, is THAT what raked grounds looks like?" He demanded and pointed to some leaves the Scotsman missed.

"I don't get paid enough for this" Willie muttered and raked what was left over into a neat little pile.

"Much better. And for future reference, always remember to do it like that"

"Ach, don't take it oot on me if that (l/n) lass doesn't like you back" He retorted sassily.

At this, Skinner turned around and his face turned red with embarrassment. "Is it really that obvious?" He asked in a low voice. "Sorry" He apologised in a small voice for his behaviour.

"From the way you you were watching her with narrowed eyes out the blinds, i'd say so" Willie deduced. "Either that or you want to murder the superintendent." He shrugged. "If you want any help with that then you know who to turn to"

Skinner's blood ran cold at this last offer and he stopped in his tracks. "Yes..." He went back to the school and was sat down in his office, still thinking of you. That was when someone knocked on his door.

"Who is it?' He sighed.

"It's me, (y/n)" Came your reply. He immediately perked up and quickly fixed his hair and clothes before answering. "come in!"

"Oh, Skinner, i forgot to ask you before, can i be absent tomorrow?" you smiled sweetly as you requested this day off.

"Whatever for?' He asked.

"It's just that Chalmers asked me to accompany him on a meeting out of town and i told him yes"

"Chalmers, of course" He rolled his eyes.

"What?"

"nothing. Alright, i suppose you may"

"Thanks" You grinned as you got up to leave, when you remembered something else. "Oh, also, the school dance is on Saturday and as you know, i'm arranging it all, and i wanted to know if you were free to help?"

"Why don't you get your boyfriend Chalmers to help?" He mumbled as he rearranged some folders.

"I'm sorry, what?" You raised an eyebrow at this.

"Nothing" he lied and froze at the thought that you might've heard this remark.

"Skinner, Chalmers and i aren't dating, where'd you get that idea from?"

"B-but it's just that you're always together! You seem to friendly with each other!"

"Well that's all we are!" You explained as you sat yourself on his desk. "We're just friends! Why are so bothered anyway?"

"Just friends? Oh, what a relief" He flicked the nervous sweat from his brow.

"Relief?" Then it hit you. "Wait do you...like me?"

"Well i..." He scratched the back if his neck awkwardly. "Uh, I've always found you attractive"

You smiled at this confession from him. "You know, you're so awkward and naive, but i like that about you" You giggled and ruffled his hair. He smiled back and then you grabbed him and kissed him! He was shook for a moment, which you found adorable.

"Well, you're obviously booked tomorrow and Saturday, but Friday...?"

"Call me!" You grinned as you left him. 

"Woo hoo!" He cheered. This was a double win for him, the school passed and he scored with you, and all in one morning!"
