About half an hour later both Charlie and Barry arrived at the rusty red gates of Waterloo Road. Both teens sighed as the thought of another long and boring day in the PRU dawned on them.

"Barry why on earth have we been placed in the unit for rejects?"

"C'mon babe it's not that bad, hey at least we don't have to worry about being late to our next lesson cuz we don't have to move to a different room"

"Barry i'm being serious! I'm sick and tired of me being known as the dumb care kid from Waterloo Road. Don't you want to make something of your self?"

"Yeah cause, I want to be a pimp and you can be my little prostitute"

"Idiot"

"Oi, that's not fair" said Barry pretending to look hurt.

Both teens then leaned in to give each other a soft kiss on the lips.

"Oi!"

The startled teens both looked around to see a very angry looking Miss Boston staring back at them.

"YOU TWO INSIDE NOW! YOU'RE LATE"

Charlie looked at Barry and laughed. "Oh the joy of being in the PRU" Thought Charlie. Both teens followed Miss Boston inside holding hands whilst preparing for another insightful day in the PRU of Waterloo Road.

Once inside both Charlie and Barry took their seats, Charlie sitting next to Barry and Kacey was sitting next to Rhiannon. Their first lesson was Science so Miss Diamond was in the PRU waiting for them.

"C'mon guys settle down. BARRY! Turn that phone of this instant!. Today we're going to learn about the differences between mitosis and meiosis"

From hearing this Charlie immediately took out one of her headphones and plugged herself in to block the boredom of science from her mind. Although Charlie was fairly good at Science and Miss Diamond was one of her favourite teachers she didn't really want to have it first thing on a Monday morning.

"CHARLIE!" Shouted Miss Diamond.

Charlie then looked up to see Miss Diamond looking at her along with the rest of the class staring back at her.

"Have you been paying attention to a single thing I've been saying the past twenty five minutes?"

"Er no miss sorry just don't feel like listening to you drone on about something so pointless and insignificant that isn't going to be useful to me in the future" Charlie said with a slight smirk on her face.

"Right if that's the way you feel then you can go and sit outside my office for the rest of the lesson" said Miss Diamond with a deathly glare upon Charlie.

"Na you're alright think I might stay here for a bit" smirked Charlie.

At this point the whole class was staring at Charlie gob smacked at the fact that she had even dared to answer the deputy head back.

"Aha go on babe" laughed Barry

Miss Diamond then walked up to Charlie and stood behind her chair knelt down so that she was in her eyesight. Miss diamond then whispered into her ear:

"if you don't do as you're told right now I will send you to Mr Byrne do you understand?"

With that Miss Diamond picked up Charlie's book and walked out of the classroom with Charlie in front of her and led her to her office.
