*Thursday morning*

                   Jay walked into the classroom the next morning after a boring day yesterday to find hazel, another brown haired girl and josh sat on the floor in the back huddled together, "hey sir!" Hazel called out and waved.  Jay smiled and waved back before wandering over to them, "what we got today?" He smiled.  Josh looked up, "maths, english, art, science and detention" he sighed, jay smiled and nodded, "got it" he laughed a little at the kids reaction.  Hazel stood up and walked over to the window, "if I jump from here, would I break my legs? Because I'm tempted to run away from this place. I need a break" she shrugged, her question just seemed so random they all had to laugh, she smiled too, god the kid really doesn't look 14, definitely more like 18.

                  Josh shrugged, "I don't know, you should try it" he laughed and shook his head.  Hazel was about to walk back over to the group but stopped abruptly when she got to Josh's desk near the front, "uhm, josh?" She furrowed her brows and pointed to her bag.  They all turned back around to face her, "come here..." she widened her eyes and sniffed the air.  The teenage boy got up and walked over to hazel in a huff, "have you got weed?" She whispered but it was unfortunately loud enough for jay to hear, "errrrrm why?" He tilted his head, clearly panicking.  Hazel huffed and blew the air away from her nose, "because it stinks" she shook her head and walked back over to the group.  Josh picked his bag up and looked inside of it to see that the mini pot of weed, his brother made him keep a hold of, was now spilled in the bottom. 

                      Jay just watched hazels eyes secretly communicating with the boy, "you have?" She mouthed to him.  Josh nodded then quickly walked out of the room with his bag, hazel shook her head and laughed a little, "was it josh? I thought I could smell it" Emily laughed.  Jay pricked his nose in the air a little then it hit him, the strong smell of weed, "can you smell it, sir?" Emily looked over at jay.  Jay knew the girls had realised it so he nodded, "I'm assuming he has something he shouldn't have?" He sighed.  Hazel laughed then stood up, pulling her sleeves down in the process, "mmhmm..." she shrugged then walked back over to her desk since kids were coming into the classroom now.

Now that all the kids were in the classroom and ready to start school their head teacher walked into the room looking furious, "bag and body search now, c'mon" he waved them up. Hazel looked at Emily and shook her head, josh has obviously been caught. Since no one moved the headteacher sighed, "alright fine, girls first" he pointed to the door. Hazel shook her head and stood up, fully knowing that he obviously wasn't going to mess around with this, she followed the girls out of the door and into the classroom next door with their bags, "hoodie off" the man pointed to hazel. She didn't want to, not like this, "I can't" she shrugged. The man huffed, "take it off" he ordered again, but sternly this time. Everyone was looking at her so she finally took it off, there wasn't any scars or anything on her arms but there's bruises, from her dad.

Everyone took once glance at the few painful looking bruises on her arm then looked away, everyone knows better than to ask about her dads business, but they all know. The man checked them all personally and their bags too, hazel walked out of the room last and followed the girls back into their classroom successfully, "keep that hoodie off please" the headteacher huffed as she was putting it back on. Hazel looked around at everyone, god this school uniform is rancid. For the boys it's just grey trousers with a blue button up blouse, with the school tie of silver and blue. But for the girls it's a grey knee length skirt, which they all roll up, with white knee socks, a blue button up blouse and their tie too, both genders could wear the navy blue blazer jacket if they wanted to but no one did, it's too hot for that.
