Jess POV:

I think I hate collage now. Having lived with Sang for almost two weeks I now genuinely hate the fact the I have to sit inside learning boring stuff. At her house while she helps me with homework, she also goes off on wild tangent that almost invariably end up with a practical lesson as well. I've learnt to climb (a bit) ride, sew sutures (though not on a live patient yet) and tonnes of other life skills like changing a tyre. Sang would make a great teacher; somehow, she threads the original lessons into whatever practical skill she's teaching me. I vaguely remember a lesson that started off with maths about projectiles, that ended in a lake with us bombing and swinging on ropes to illustrate her points.

"Miss. Lee," the view from the window is enticing, I can see a squirrel racing up a tree outside, a bit like Sang climbs though her house and the forest around it. She's started teaching me, but I don't think I will ever move as effortless though the trees like she does. It's almost as if she floats from place to place hardly touching the branches she leaps to.

"JESSICA LEE!" my math teacher screams at me. Apparently, I have been daydreaming for a while!

"Yes sir?" I look up at the board trying to work out what the hell we are doing currently.

"Can you tell me the answer to that question?" he points at the one on the bottom of the board, the hardest.

"Probably," I look at the question for the first time quickly figuring out its partial fractions and working out the answer, Sang taught me way harder ones while we were feed the animals one evening so, "yes, I can Sir, the A is equal to three B equals four and C is seven!"

"Ha wrong!" he laughs, slightly evilly in my opinion. I look at the question again confident that I got it right. I scribble some workings down checking. He starts to write me a slip for a detention, for 'not paying attention in class'. The rest of the class laughs.

"No Sir.... you are!" I say when I have double checked each step. He freezes.

"What young lady?"

"I know I'm right A three, B four and C Seven, I think you should check your workings!" the class goes completely silent. The teacher tenses apparently the confidence in my voice is disturbing him because he looks at the question again.

I know his confirmed I'm right when his scowl deepens further than I can remember ever seeing before. The only acknowledgement he makes is to screw the detention slip up and throw it in the bin.

"Ok your exam starts in twenty miniates get ready!" he snaps out dismissing us. That's when I know I've got this last exam in the bag.

Three hours later I'm yawning as I drag myself out of the school grounds, having completed the test in half the time I'm confident I've done well. My mum is picking me up and hopefully taking me out as a well done for completing all my exams. She has invited Sang too, but I don't know if she said yes or no yet. I knew that the answer was likely no, my mum always takes me to this one posh place and there was no way Sang will be able to bring her friends with her, which she has to have.

I have witnessed her go out of the gates once without them. A man had wolf whistled at her, in a second her whole body had tensed, and a panic attack overtook her. The car he was in kept driving completely ignoring the fact that she was collapsing on the pavement. I just grabbed the nearest one of Sang's animal family and took them with me (it was the skunk) to bring her back to her safety of her park. It confused me even more as to how quickly she was able to trust me, which I know she does now plus she is beginning to trust my mum. However that is a slower process, much slower!
