"Welcome, class, to advanced English. This semester we'll be studying the novel, 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'. My name is Mrs. Eden and I will be your teacher." Mrs. Eden starts, standing at the front of the class in her signature black pencil skirt, and white blouse with her cat rimmed glasses. Her brown hair's pulled up into a bun and her lips are bright red. "There will be no seating arrangement, but there will be." She adds. The class all groan in response. I shift in my seat at the back of the class, in the left corner of the room. "Now, I'll let you all know how this is going to work. Boys, stand up and get your things." Mrs. Eden orders. All the boys in the room stand up, whispering to each other while I nervously lower my head. "I'm going to make this easy. There will be a boy-girl seating plan, but I'm going to let you choose whom you sit next to. The whole plan for this semester is that you work with a partner, so it's easy - boys, sit next to the girl you find the most attractive."
