“We already touched, nothing happened,” Luke shrugs.
“What?” Mr Collins booms. Yep, a heart attack is imminent for the handsheadmaster.
“Calm down D, It was my fault. | walked into him,” | explain quickly before he suspends Luke too. Theo shorts a
laugh and | realise my mistake. Mr Collins’ jaw is tense and I’m unsure if he’s fighting off a smirk or about to lose
his shit completely. “Sorry, Mr Collins,” | correct and give him my sweetest smile.
“Fine, Luke escort Miss Banks to her first class and do not leave her side. Theo, go and choose another three for
your team. I'll send out a message to all tutors to let them know. Now get to class, you're late,” Mr Collins orders,
his tone is tense and he seems to be avoiding looking at any of us before he walks away. We all watch him go in
silence.
“Can Greys have heart attacks?” | whisper to the guys.
“Yep, and | think you're about to give dear old Mr Collins one,” Theo snorts and Luke humns in agreement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgo and Theo insists on walking withand Luke to my first class Once we are safely at the door he leaves to
recruit my new security team.
“Ready?” Luke asks, his hand raised to knock on the door. | take a breath and give him a nod. He gives the door
a short rap and then pushes it open, all eyes turn to face us.
“Ah, Mr Weston. How nice of you to join us,” a female tutor with bright red hair smiles sarcastically, “and this
must be the infamous Miss Banks, late for her first class. Take a seat,
“Sorry Miss, you should have a message from Mr Collins explaining our absence,” Luke explains.
“I'm not interested in excuses, now hurry up and take a seat, you've already interrupted my lesson long
enough,” she admonishes and a few of the students snicker as | follow Luke to a pair of empty seats. Great, I've
already made a fantastic first impression on her.
“Il can’t wait to see her reaction when Theo gets here,” Luke whispers as we sit.
“As | was saying before we were rudely interrupted. Sof the poorer humans in England are unable to afford a
motor vehicle and therefore are still using horses as a mode of transport,” she tells the class and | can’t contain
the snort of laughter that escapes me.
“Is something funny, Miss Banks?” the tutor snaps.
“It's just that you're wrong,” | say quietly, my face flushing with embarrassment as all eyes turn toyet again.
“How so?” she asks, and she seems less angry now and more curious.
“Motor vehicles, more commonly known as cars these days are actually cheaper to use than a horse. Horses are
ridden as a hobby and a sport. If people can’t afford a car they usually use public transport, like a bus or train. Or
they have a bike or scooter,” | explain. The tutor’s eyes shine with an idea.
“Okay class, as Miss Banks is so knowledgeable on this subject, take out your notebooks and write down three
questions you'd like to ask her about the human world,” she says with a clap of her hands, sparking a flurry of
movement as students retrieve notepads and discuss excitedly between themselves. This is hell. “This is a rare
opportunity to speak to someone who has grown up as a human so choose your questions wisely,” she adds.
Oh, no. I don’t think...” | start to protest but Luke nudges me.
“You've got this,” he whispers.
