Unthinkable Romance

Chapter 4: English

The next day, Serena had her first English lesson of the year. Serena found a seat at the front. Ash arrived and sat next to her. Serena froze up.

'Why is he sitting next to me?' thought Serena.

'Hi, I'm Ash.'

'Uh, hi I'm Serena.'

Serena lowered her head down and blushed furiously. Everyone was nattering loudly as Mr. Clarkson came into the room.

'Shush!' he shouted.

The class sat down and kept their mouths shut as if there was an invisible zip fixated over their lips.

'I'm handing you out a worksheet. Please complete it in silence.'

Mr. Clarkson was a young teacher in his early thirties, who knew how to handle troublesome students well. He was also very much involved in Pastoral Care as he practically fostered half of the school.
