When we arrive at the classroom John turns to us
'Behave yourselves, the pair of you, I don't want to be called again Hope, knuckle down, alright'
I look up at John and mumble to him.
'I'm sorry for letting you down John' max hums in agreement.
John stands there silently for a moment.
'Well prove to me you can behave, I'll see you in your dorm block later Hope, as for you max, keep an eye on her for me' max nods stiffly in response.
John knocks on the door then opens it.
'I have Max and Hope' the teacher pokes her head out of the door and eyes us both. Then shrieks.
'I'm not having them in my classroom! Did you not see what happened this morning' John chuckles heartily. Back to his normal self.
'If it will make you feel safer Miss Penny I can sit in the classroom, I'll keep a close eye on these two' John says, gesturing in our direction.
I swear I've never seen a teachers face light up until now. Miss penny beams a smile at John.
'John's a married man miss' I say sarcastically.
Miss penny frowns while John chuckles.
When John has composed himself he steps into the classroom behind miss penny.
'Sit, the pair of you' John orders us sternly.
We both take our seats quietly as Miss penny walks over to her desk. She picks up some paper then passes them out. Placing the paper on every desk.
When Miss penny gets back to the front of the classroom she smiles at John. I can't help but call out 'slut'. Miss penny turns around and asks
'Who said that?' Her cheeks blushing brightly.
Everyone starts laughing, me included.
John stands up from the chair his occupying by the door and shouts at us.
'Silence the lot of you, as for you Hope any more of that and you'll be removed to secure'
'But she's flirting with you, I told her you're married' I call out. Miss penny frowns and glances subtly at John. John shouts at me.
'That's enough Hope, get on with your work' .
I slump back in my chair and pick up the paper. I read the sheet then place it down on the table and start writing down my answers. This lesson is total crap. Being a better you. Like seriously what a lame name for a class, it gets worse when the works given. I don't see the point of answering questions about how I would deal with situations.
It's stupid!
The lesson drags on. We're given another worksheet by miss penny. These questions are even shittier than the last ones.
How would I change how I deal with said situations to be a better person? I throw down my pen in annoyance and stare the clock.
Miss penny glances up at me and can see I'm not doing any work but she doesn't say anything. I'm glad. I can't wait for this lesson to finish.
When there's five minutes left of class Miss penny walks around the classroom and collects the worksheets. When she picks up my second work sheet she scans her eyes over the paper then asks
'Why haven't you filled it out?' I roll my eyes.
'I wouldn't change how I deal with things, whether socially acceptable or not I'm my own person' I then push my chair back and stand up. There's 30 seconds left.
Miss penny carries on collecting the work, when the bell goes I walk over to max, grab his hand and pull him out.
We walk through the school together then go outside. We stroll along the path until we reach the junctions.
Max grabs my hip and pulls me to him. He places his lips gently onto mine.
'Get changed baby, meet me back here in 30?' Max says. I nod my head then swiftly kiss max again. When I pull away. I run the rest of the way to my dorm block. I yank the door open and run inside.
'Stop running Hope' is called out but I don't pay attention. I scamper into my room, the door slamming shut behind me.
I strip off my clothes and change into home clothes. Thankfully everything that I moved before half term has been brought back. When I'm dressed I walk out the door and go to meet max.
