Professor Richmond sighs "Well if you are done can I carry on now?." Colleen nodded in reply.
Professor Richmond shuffles nervously after that Interruption from Colleen. "Here is some facts and figures.. nothing too heavy something for you to think about that's all."
He clicks his computer and The first slide comes up It read:
42% of marriages end in divorce. England and Wales (ONS, 2013)
More than 236,000 people divorced in 2012. England and Wales (ONS, 2014)

Wales (ONS, 2014)

Colleen stands up "Well Professor that's all well and good but we are teenagers.. What's that got to do with us?."
He points to her "What is your name young lady?."
She smiles "It's Colleen sir."
He smiles now knowing her name and makes a mental note to watch out for this one. "Well Colleen.. A lot of students have become fed up of sexual education classes so your headmaster Mr Brackhurst suggested this in its place..I have come a long way to deliver this presentation."
Colleen scoffs "Well.. you needn't have bothered."
Professor Richmond sighs annoyed. "I think now is a good time to take a break.. Come back in half an hour please everyone.. unless you'd like to go back to your classes?."
Everyone grumbled and mumbled and left the Lecture hall. Everyone except Colleen.
"Professor?."
The Professor was tidying all his papers. "Yes Colleen?."
Colleen sighs "You're not seriously going to sprout facts and figures out are you?."
The Professor was at his wits end with this girl and he hated the constant interruptions. He snaps at her rather unprofessionally. "Fine.. You take the show when they get back if you want."
She smirks as he goes to take a seat in the corner of the Lecture hall. "I do want.."
She takes a seat where the Professor was standing and waits patiently for the others to come back. She smiles thinking "By the time I'm done here..all hell is going to break lose!."
