    A confused silence had fallen over the children of the

    newly formed class ' as they fell in to line behind their 

    new teacher. )hey marched in single file into the school

    and took their place within the surroundings of their new

    abroad. 7ill nudged Aaron and was about to whisper

    he was sure he could do it. 4e would try and recruit some

    ronside to find out that he was on to her.)he second day of the new school year began like they

    had never been away. After the chaos of the previous day

    so he rushed in to class as fast as he could. As he epected

    and dreaded, elissa was sat at her desk facing the front.

    sat the same way net to elissa and the sight puled the

    children coming in as they took their seats. 7ith horror,

    7ill realised that iss ronside was doing a child a day

    and a desk at a time. 4e 6uickly looked around counting

    the children in his class.
