The door was already open when Lilly arrived at the classroom 507. She made her way in and found a chair besides the window hoping that Roman would enter the room and sit beside her, but he didn't "he must be in a different class to me" Thought Lilly as her anxiety seemed to grow again as she seemed not to recognise anyone in the room with her not even the lad who was scratching his nose in science was not in the same class.

It was still pouring down with rain, and it looked as if a storm was coming. Lilly had already got out her belongings and started answering the questions that were already on the board when she had entered the room. Surprisingly the classroom was silent all Lilly could hear was the sound of the rain beating the window and the clock ticking and the sound of her classmates writing. This class felt like it was going on forever as the teacher Miss Smith began to give her lecture about fractions.

Lilly spent most of the time daydreaming as time went by the class were answering the last set of questions and all Lilly could think about was this guy she sat by in the previous class, she spotted her timetable sticking out of her notebook to discover a phone number written at the top of it. Reaching secretly for her phone in her pocket she began adding the number to her phone whilst hiding it under the table, realising that it was Romans number. "He did say he wanted to show me the photocopier at break" She thought as she began to secretly type into her device.

"Hi Roman, It's Lilly"

Unsure what to type next she decided to press send and then she began to watch the big hand and the little hand on the clock whilst she was waiting for her phone to vibrate in her lap when she was approached by Miss Smith "Lilly? Are you alright?" Lilly placed her look on to Miss Smith and let out a silent sigh "Just thinking Miss" she spoke with uncertainty as she carefully hid her phone back in her pocket. Miss Smith looked at Lilly with concern and confusion, "You barely written a thing". Lilly really did not like maths as she found it confusing and difficult. "I'm just struggling Miss" said Lilly with honesty. "It's ok, I'll help you next lesson" said Miss Smith and at that very moment the bell rang and once again everyone began to exit the room. Everyone had already left the room apart from Lilly who was still putting away her things in her bag, even Miss Smith had already left the room. Placing her backpack on her shoulder her feet began to carry her to the door as she took out her phone from her pocket to reveal a message from Roman.

"Hi Lilly meet me at the bottom of the stairs at the end of the hall and I'll show you where the library is."
