Benedict Park School for Boys Written by Mikkiwriter
This story is a follow up to the hugely popular "the housekeepers son" series
Benedict park school is a private school in the heart of England. It has 530 pupils aged from 12 years to 18 years old. It is a traditional school housed in a Victorian manor house set in 5000 acres of parkland make.
Recently former prefect and star pupil Joshua Matthews rejoined the school as it youngest ever master.
Joshua was surprised to see that, despite leaving the school the same year he had, Robert Hargreaves Black still was a main benefactor of the school. Joshua was also surprised that when he arrived to his interview to take up the role as history master that the new headmaster was none other than his old head of year Grainger.
Joshua was nervous about starting to work at his old school. He still had good and bad memories of the place. Miss Dexter the newly appointed deputy head showed Joshua to his quarters and he was surprised to find that it was none other than the former rooms he had once shared with Rob Andy and latterly with Dean. Josh soon felt right at home.
Josh remembered that on their last day at school along with Rob and Andy he had hidden a note inside an old tin which they stuck up the blocked up chimney. Josh walked over to the chimney and put his hand up it to find the old tin was still there. He pulled it down and saw that there were now four letters and not the three they had originally placed there remembering that Dean was a year younger he guessed he must have added a letter when he left.
Josh opened each letter one by one and the happy schooldays memories came flooding back but then there was a knock at the door. Josh walked over to see two men standing there. "Hi" said one of them "I'm Andrew Parker and this is James Reynolds we thought we would introduce ourselves". "I'm Josh Matthews please come in".
Josh sat on the chair and Andrew and James sat down on the tatty settee. Andrew explained that like Josh both he and James were new masters at the school and were finding it hard to settle. Josh smiled and said "I have settled in OK, but I suppose being an old boy it is like coming home for me." James then said "We can't find the staff canteen, I know it is along here somewhere"
Josh laughed and said "Come on, I'll show you round, I know this place like the back of my hand. It's very quiet today, just wait until the boys get back tomorrow, it will be chaos if it's anything like it used to be"
"So you really are an old boy?" asked Andrew.
"Yeah, not just an old boy but a former prefect as well" "Wow I bet you used to have some fun here as a lad!" James said.
"You bet we did, actually I think Grainger is trying to tell me something, he has allocated me the room I used to share with a group of great lads." Josh told them. The younger lads' rooms are along this corridor and the older lads are along there."
"This room is the pupil's dining room and the staff dining room is there" Josh said
Josh opened the door to the pupil's dining room reminiscing of old times with Milton terrorising the younger boys
Josh then walked into the staff dining room the one room in the school which he had never been in. Mr Grainger stood up and said "Ladies and gentlemen I want you all to welcome our three new masters, Mr Joshua Matthews, Mr Andrew Parker and Mr James Reynolds. Mr Matthews some of the older masters will recognise as a former prefect of the school will be teacher history. Mr Parker will be teaching Mathematics and Mr Reynolds will be teaching Chemistry".
Josh Andrew and James all sat down together and Josh looked at the food and smiled as he realised that it hadn't got any better over the years. James sat next to Josh and the more he got to know him the more he started to really like him.
At the end of the meal Grainger asked Josh to come to his office.
Josh nervously stood outside the headmaster's office while Grainger took a telephone call. Grainger finally finished his call and called Josh in.
"Come in young man and take a seat" Josh sat down and said "So why did you want to see me headmaster?"
"Don't look so worried" Grainger said smiling. "I asked you here to ask you to take up a position as head of year one this year; Mr Green was supposed to take it but he has decided not to return this term so we need someone fast"
"I would be honoured but surely there is someone else who has been here a while who is more suitable?"
"Well I suppose there is, but can you really imagine Mr Harris or Miss West being head of years"
"Well maybe not dipping Harris or West the pest as we used to call them" Josh said smiling
"So that is what the boys call them?" Grainger asked, smirking.
"Well they did in our day yeah, but I m not sure about the current boys"
"Anyway as I said there is no one else I can think of being suitable to take this role on this year. So please think about it and let me know by tomorrow so that I can brief the prefects who is the year ones head of year when they return to school tomorrow" Grainger said
Josh smiled "OK, I'll take the role on. So what are the current batches of prefects like?" he asked.
"Well they are good, but I still think the best prefects this school has had recently were Hargreaves, Milton, Brookes, and yourself I often wondered what had happened to you and the others, Hargreaves we see quite often" Grainger went on to say
"Brookes is actually a fully qualified doctor now and is working in a hospital out in Africa helping kids. Milton the last I heard was working on a cruise ship singing and the last time I saw Hargreaves he was opening a new wing of the local children's hospice with Bennett at his side".
Grainger said "I always knew Milton would make a great singer he always had a good voice"
"Well sir I think I m going to go back to my rooms and watch some TV before hitting the sack"
"OK Matthews, and thank you for helping us out"
Josh came out of the office and headed back towards his rooms but has he was walking he noticed the old dorm where he had stayed at the end of his stay at the school. Josh walked in and looked round and saw something that took his eye. He noticed a spot of vandalism which said "DR Luvs JM" He remembered the good times he'd had with Dominic Reed; then he started to tear up when he remembered the cute lad's face; and the last time he saw him on that tragic morning when he waved to Dom has he headed back to his university on a cold January morning and he lost control of his car on some black ice dying instantly as the car careered off the carriageway hitting a tree. Josh left the dorm in tears
James saw Josh leaving the dorm and noticed he looked upset. James shouted "Mr Matthews are you all right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine thank you Mr Reynolds, just had some memories bought back to me" Josh said wiping the tears away.
James smiled "Happy memories I hope?"
"Yeah they were happy memories. Actually I remembered an ex boyfriend of mine who sadly died recently in an horrific car crash and I remembered the good times we shared in that very dorm" Josh said
James smiled "I understand why you are upset"
"Never mind that I have some news. Grainger has appointed me the new head of year 1 "I fancy a celebration, would you like to come back to my rooms for a little drink?" asked Josh.
James said "Wow really? That is great news; and as for the drink, yeah why not"
James and Josh spoke about the old boys as they walked through the corridors towards the rooms.
Josh opened the door and looked at the sexy blond guy as he walked past him into the room. Josh grabbed James and started to kiss him and despite James recently splitting up with a long term girlfriend James didn't resist.
Josh looked into James's sexy blue eyes and smiled and he slowly undid his tie and then his shirt buttons one by one revealing his sexy six packed hairy chest. Josh then started to undo his belt and unzipped James's tight grey trousers letting them slowly drop to the floor. James was now moaning as Josh slowly ran his tongue down his body towards his now tenting tight white boxers.
Josh then led James into his bedroom and closed the door.
The Next Morning
Josh woke up at around 5am and sat watching as James slept next to him. James woke around an hour later and saw Josh and smiled. James gave Josh a kiss and said "I never thought I would have sex with another bloke, but last night felt so right"
Josh smiled back, "Well I knew as soon as I saw you that I wanted to have sex with you. But now I think we'd better get up or we will be late for breakfast"
"Yeah, and I have to get back to my room for a change of clothes. I think tongues will wag if I have the same clothes on".
Josh laughed. "Borrow one of my shirts and ties if you like"
James said "Cool"
The two new lovers left the rooms with Josh dressed in a black suit, white shirt and a blue tie and James dressed in the same grey suit but with a white shirt and a pink tie.
Breakfast was soon over and then Josh was called to the reception area where he met up with the three prefects assigned to look after the first year intakes.
Josh walked into reception and immediately walked up to the prefects and said "OK lads I'm Mr Matthews and you are?"
One of the lads a tall blonde spiky haired lad said "I'm Daniel Johnson this is Grant Davies" pointing towards a slightly shorter black haired lad, "and this is Robert Black." pointing to the other lad who was about the same height as the tall lad but with spiky brown hair.
"Well Johnson Davies and Black I hope you are prepared for a year of hell because if the first years are as bad as they were in my time God help us all" Josh grinned.
The lads laughed and Davies piped up "Are you an old boy then sir?"
"Yeah, an old boy and prefect, look, there is my name on the board along side Milton Hargreaves, Black, and Brookes; boy didn't we used to have some fun" Josh told them, a big smile on his face.
It was then a Mercedes SL600 roadster pulled up and a blonde haired woman got out followed by a small black haired lad who was looking very nervous.
Josh said "Right gentlemen, places, time for work"
Josh picked up the clipboard on the desk and walked over to the woman. "Good morning and welcome to Benedict park. I'm Mr Matthews and you are?"
The woman smiled "Good morning Mr. Matthews, I'm Elizabeth Thompson Jones and this is my son Edward"
Josh smiled at the young lad and said "Hello Edward, welcome to Benedict park. Johnson, will you take young Edward to corridor 6 room 1 please and help him unpack? thank you"
Johnson said "Yes I will sir" Johnson lifted one of Edwards three bags and looked at the lad smiled and said "OK Edward come with me"
"Right, all you have to do now is just to sign this form and you can be off Mrs Thompson Jones" Josh said
Mrs Thompson Jones smiled "Yes, I know the procedure. I'll be back tomorrow with my other son William, he is a third year, but I can't say I've heard him mention a Mr Matthews"
Josh smiled and said "That's probably because I have only joined this term"
Four and an half hours later and finally Josh, Johnson, Davies, and Black had finally signed in the last of the new interns.
Josh was exhausted and started to realise that most of these kids were just like he was when he was their age. Just in the way, so mummy packs them off to boarding school. But Josh knew that just like him the years he spent at Benedict Park with all his friends were the best years of his life. Josh also knew that for him and all the new masters and boys at the school an exciting new journey had just begun....
So will James and Josh carrying on seeing each other, and what do the prefects get up to after hours? All this will be revealed in future chapters.
