**Noahs' Point Of View**

My leg is vibrating, why is my leg vibrating?

Toby

Tobys phoning me? Why is Toby phoning me?

"Heeeelloooo?" I answer

"Noah? I didn't expect you to reply" He says shocked "Where are you man?"

"In the library, why?" I reply

"In the school Library? I thought you'd be long gone by now" He jokes

"Yeah the school library, and anyway, the school would only phone Adam." I say

"True, Very true" He replies "I'm glad you're okay though"

"Yeah, listen I'm going to go to the toilet before next lesson, I'll see you later, okay?"

"Yeah okay. I see you soon." Toby replies as I end the call

"Who was that?" Taylor asks

"Toby, wanted to make sure I'm okay" I reply "I need to toilet, then I'm going to maths, you coming?"

"I guess" She says as I get up, "Pull me up"

I grab her hand and pull her off the floor, I knew that If I went to Maths she would too, maybe I wasn't such a bad person?

**

Bells just gone and it made Taylor jump; it was quite funny. I feel numb and my hands starting to hurt, I didn't want an argument with Mr. Flanagan but it sure looked like it was heading that way

"Noah, you're actually on time for a change?" Mr. Flanagan says as I walk in and take my seat

"No need to sound so shocked." I reply back to him

"Well, since you're on time you can hand out the books" He asks me, cheeky

I do as I'm told thus avoiding confrontation. Taylors handwriting and doodles covered the front of her math book, it looked cool. Once the books were handed out I took my seat and opened my book, I didn't want to work but I didn't want an argument, my plan was to do 4 or 5 questions before stopping so then Flanagan couldn't argue that I hadn't gotten any work complete. It was fool proof.

"Daisy Church, how I dislike girls like you who are constantly late then use the excuse that you were in the bathroom doing your hair or makeup." Mr. Flanagan says as Daisy walks in 10 minutes late.

"That's blatantly sexist and proves what a moronic pig you are" she replies before slumping in her chair,

"bring back the 60's when teachers could hit and discipline students, especially ones like you, without worrying about the education finding out" He states sitting at his computer and typing into his laptop

"if you carry on my foots place is going to be so close to your fucking groin" she growls

"Daisy don't threaten me" He says looking down the bridge of his nose,

"Then don't be such a sexist misogynistic pig." Daisy says placing her palms flat on the desk and getting up

"I'd appreciate it if you'd left my class immediately" He instructs, but Daisy wasn't having it

"I'd appreciate it if men like you left the earth immediately!" She protests

"Leave my class" He demands

"No." She refuses

"Get out" He tries again

"Not a Chance" Daisy says standing her ground.

"Jonah, go and get Mr. Daniels or Mr. Michaels" Mr. Flanagan asks but Jonah stays put, "Jonah, go and get a member of senior management"

"No. Sexism is wrong and You are wrong! Too many people are sexist too many times during the day but they just get away with it. " Jonah says

"Fine then, I'll go and get them myself." Mr. Flanagan says, Daisy looks proud of herself and even Taylors laughing.

Daisy stands at the front of the class and writes

DOWN WITH SEXISM, UP WITH EQUALITY!

On the whiteboard, she knew how to begin and this was just the start of it.

"He is sexist, rude, patronising and lets face it, he cant teach. We all know he was wrong-" Daisy starts

"He was a dick. Power To Daisy!" Jonah interrupts,

The class is roaring with cheers and laughter, Daisy wasn't afraid to start a war, she wasn't afraid of anything anymore. Daisy was our hero, Daisy was the future,

"Everyone Sit Back In Your Seats And Quieten Down!" Mr. Daniels bellows, everyone but Daisy and Jonah sit, "I said sit down"

"no." Daisy replies "Why should I?"

"Because I am an authority figure and you have to do as I say" Daniels replies

"That's good sir, you should be a lawyer" She sassily replies..

"Daisy, go up to level four" He asks ever so politely but you could see he wanted to rage.

"And if I don't?" She asks crossing her arms

"Well I'll... I'll have to..." He says trying to think of something

"You'll have to what? I'll go upstairs once I'm promised Mr sexist teacher will be held accountable for what he said to me"

"Daisy, I assure you that none of our teachers are sexist." Mr Daniels says as Mr. Flanagan shifts awkwardly

"Bullshit" I shout, Mr Daniels looks at me

"Excuse me Noah?" He says

"None of these teachers are sexist? Bullshit! This misogynistic pig told Daisy, an I quote and you can ask any of these guys 'I dislike girls like you who are persistently late then use the excuse that you were in the bathroom doing your makeup'" I state

"Is this true" Mr. Daniels asks the class

"Damn straight son" Jonah replies

"It's out of order Sir" Beth replies

"Daisy, I assure you that this will be dealt with properly. Now if you could go up to level four and write a statement we will insure that this is dealt with properly." Mr. Daniels says as daisy walks out the room.

"Right, do whatever you want for the last 15 minutes" Mr. Flanagan says before sitting at his desk and sighing.

Well, this was a fun maths lesson. I definitely learnt a lot! Daisys message is still on the board, and so it should be, I agree with it, as does the remainder of the class.
