I must've had 5 cups of tea before I had to leave so Tom could get ready for class.
"Bye Tess." I said before I left and closed the door behind me. She is a really sweet dog. I plugged in my earphones again and walked down the old streets to get to the dorm building. Before walking in I take them out and walk towards my room. Lucas was gone now so he wouldn't be creeping around. I unlocked my door and walk in, I freshen up and spray Emma's body spray on me, I then grab my Romeo and Juliet book and notebook and leaving my laptop here to charge and we didn't need it today, it was mainly reading and writing so it wasn't much.

I walk out the door and lock it once again. I go outside and then cross the road to the building and walk inside. It was 11:50, so most people were already getting ready to go in.
As everyone piled in, I stayed back so I wouldn't get stuck and squished. I was the last one to walk in and I saw Tom standing at the front in a white shirt, a black blazer and black trousers. I walk to my seat and sit myself down and taking out my notebook and my pen.
"Right, everyone get out your books I gave you last week and turn to the page we left off and I want you to read until Act 2 Scene 1 and then write me a lovely review on Act 1 Scene 1 to Scene 5. The class sighed.
"Come on guys, we're on Scene 3. It's only 2 more scenes, you all can't keep moaning about this class and still turn up everyday, it either proves you all have a big crush on me, or you all want to come her to make fun of me. I don't think any of them are true so you all have to deal with it." He says, which made everyone shuffle and find their things. I turn to Scene 3 and the page we finished at and carried on reading from there. I then started to read, quickly remebering that I start my job tomorrow at 9, but at least it's wednesday, then thursday, then friday and saturday when I can finally see my brother not in hospital for what seems like forever. I still need to ask Tom to take me there again which I'll ask after class. Without realising I wasn't reading, my thoughts got the best of me.

2 hours passed, I was onto writing the review on the scenes, Tom had walked through everyone a couple of times and told of some people for not focusing, he gave me a few glances and small nods. The class was silent so if he came over to talk they'd all know. As I was writing, Tom came over and sat in the empty chair beside me and peeked his over at what I was writing.
"Good work Avery." He whispered so not many people could hear unless they were very close to me.
"Thanks, could I speak to you after class please?" I ask him.
"Sure." He says and then goes back to his desk and pulls off his blazer. and places it on his desk. I carried on writing and finished my first page. I looked around the room and there was 5 people still reading and the rest of us were writing.

It was 2:50 and Tom said "Everyone, finish off the sentence they were on and bring your work to the front."
That's what everyone did, I however didn't because I was staying. As everyone walked out, I walked to Toms desk.
"What did you want to talk to me about then?" He asks.
Before speaking I pass him my 2 pages which he took and put them in a folder.
"Well, I was wondering if you could drive me to Brighton again, since we have a week off..."
"Of course, anything else?"
"Oh and, you know my brother who you met? He's clear from the cancer he had." I say.
"That's amazing!" He says and brings me into a hug, his arms wrapped around my neck and then pulls off. "Sorry about that, I'm just happy for you." He says, slightly going red of embarrassment.
"It's okay, don't worry Tommy." I say.
"Also, I wanted to tell you that, Tessa misses you, she was sulking when you left, you could maybe come tomorrow, she'd love to see you." He asks.
"Oh, I would love to, but I'm working." I explain.
"What times?" He asks.
"9-5."
"Maybe I could unintentionally stop by?" He says and then making himself slighty laugh.
"I mean, if you want, but my boss seems strict so I can't talk to you for long."
"That's fine, I'll see you Av."
"Okay, bye, and thank you." I say before leaving the classroom.
