Elle Stewart was joined by her two best friends Missy Booth and Nasreen Paratcha, sitting on the light brown sofa which toppled over a yellow skip, on the top of the road. The three girls often sat here for a chat, putting the world to it's rights, as the trio passed around a bottle of cider between them, with the girl's starting to feel the effects of the alcoholic drink. The chuckles of the girl's could be heard down the road, little to them did they care.

"Education is what remains, after one has forgotten, what one has learned in school." Missy blurted out, passing the bottle have of drunken cider to Nas, with Elleanor nodding her head in agreement.

"Didn't our English teacher Miss Keane tell us that last year?" Ell asked in thought, after realising the phrase that the other blonde girl had just said was coming familiar to her.

"Yeah, I think she said it to inspire us or something." Missy confirmed, with the other two girl's still deep in thought. "Didn't half make me think we're wasting our time, though." She confessed.

"No, your teacher's not the one who said that!" Nas corrected the pair, leaving them slightly confused.

"No?" The two blonde girl's said in unison, awaiting an answer from the black haired girl.

"No." The smartest of the trio replied. "Albert Einstein, he's the one who said that." Nas said, with a sense of pride.

"Yeah, but Miss Keane was the one that said it to us!" Elle made the point, with Nasreen jokingly shaking her head at her two best friends, leaving them in fits of giggles, as they watched on down the street.

"So, are you excited for tomorrow?" The Pakistani girl asked the other two, with the near empty bottle of cider still being passed around.

"Yeah, kind of am." Missy replied, with a slight smile on her face, taking the other two girls by surprise. "Are you, Ells?"

"Well, yeah." The other girl said, with an even wider smile across her face. "It's the first time I'll have seen Cory since summer, so.." Elle said, leaving Nas and Missy not very impressed.

"You two are most definitely drunk." Nasreen smirked at the two, knowing that the pair weren't big fans of school as it was, never mind starting a new school, combining with one of their now old rival schools.

"You're still talking to that prick?" Missy blurted out, taking another swig from the bottle. "You should know better than that, Cory's mugged you off so many times."

"She definitely is drunk." Elle tried her hardest to change the topic of conversation, although her cheeks still flushed a shade of red whenever her on and off thing with the older Wilson brother was mentioned.
