Glancing around the classroom, Claire felt a sense of relief as she realised Harry wasn't there, presuming he wasn't a member of her group she turned around to face the board and began writing. "Now class, for those that haven't met me I'm Miss Cox, for those that have, hello again!"
"I'm not here to judge, punish or shout at you, I'm hopefully here to teach you, History may not be your favourite subject, but well it has shaped the world we live in, everything we do is based on a choice or action made in the past. All I ask is that you pay me some attention, even if you find the topic dull and we can share a sense of respect for one another. I'll not patronise, you'll not disrespect, so that means no lateness."
As soon as she said those words, the classroom door burst open and a figure came rushing in.
"Sorry Miss, I er got lost?!"
Claire smirked, "if you hadn't been at this school for the past 6 years I may have believed you, now please take a seat."
Harry began to walk to the back of the room, "Oh and Harry." He turned to face her. "I'm not sure if you know but lipstick is meant to go on your lips, not your neck or collar of your shirt." She chuckled as she saw his face turn a bright pink colour.
The rest of the class proved pretty uneventful, Claire watched as Harry ignored his friends trying to get his attention and chuckled to herself as he scrubbed at his neck with a tissue, she was still suprised at the end of the class he handed his completed test to mark. "I'm sorry Miss, for earlier."
"Looks like you were missed over the summer?"
"Something like that, well er, sorry again." She stared as he went rushing out of the room, before sighing and focusing on the pile of work in front of her.
