Flash strode back and forth of the front of the classroom. He was faced by a bunch of school girls all jumping out of the seats for his attention. They were there to discuss new and innovative ideas of how they could possibly break someone out of jail. The subject to some seemed wacky and useless but to the girls of St. Trinians these just happened to be the exact life skills they required.
'Yes Tania, Tara' he nodded to the blond first years. The twins looked to each other nodding in agreement before speaking.
'what about a tunnel' they asked
'a tunnel?' flash pondered on the idea
'yer like in the movies, we could dig them out!' Tara continued explaining their point
'right, somehow I dowt tha' would be so effective' flash shook his head before moving on. The twins shrugged un fazed by their ideas rejection.
'Go Celia' flash confirmed pointing the girl sitting in the centre of the room; she was laying back on her chair her wild frizzy locks trailing down her back. Before the girl could announce her contribution there was a knock at the door.
It opened to reveal Miss Fritton the headmistress of St. Trinians.
'ah flash I see the class is going well' she smiled looking at the ideas strewn across all areas of the blackboard.
'Well we aim to please' he smiled 'wha' can we do for you?' flash like the woman and she had always been good to him. He understood how much she cared for the school and every girl in it just as dearly.
'I just wondered if I could pinch Kelly for a moment' she asked sweetly. Pointing to the raven haired girl sitting the other side of the room. As if by magic every person in the rooms heads twisted to stare at the Head girl who was obviously not listening and had not heard her name mentioned. Flash coughed, slightly embarrassed to address the girl he felt so much for.
'Kelly' he called quietly but enough for her to take notice. As she looked up he simply shook his head towards Mrs. Fritton whose face was harbouring a gigantic smile. Kelly, never self conscious about anything, got up and strode across the room followed by dozens of glistening and inquisitive eyes to join her teacher and head mistresses.

Flash watched as the two women disappeared out of the room. The door swung silently closed but flash stayed tranced at the direction. It took a few moments and several glances shared between the remaining girls in the room before someone decided to bring flash back to earth
'uh flash!' Taylor demanded the spivs attention in a less that sympathetic manor. All the girls in the school knew flashes feeling for Kelly and those who shared a year with her knew it well.
'Uh, yer, sorry' he stuttered his attention regaining a couple of the younger girls sniggered but there laughter was quickly shot down by flash and the few 6ths placed throughout the room. Annabelle and Polly exchanged a glance of raised eyebrows. As Kelly's best friends they where 1st hand witnesses to flashes lust for Kelly however even they couldn't understand why Kelly was so cold with him. It was clear she had feelings for him but whenever they bought up the subject she used her icy harsh exterior to shoot there questions down in flames luckily know one with any sense messed with Kelly Jones.

'Everything alright?' Kelly asked when they were out of earshot of flashes classroom. She loved all the girls dearly but wasn't ignorant to how nosy they could be.
'Of course lovely' Camilla smiled stopping outside her office. Camilla's tone was bright and jolly as usually but there was something about the way she was standing and looking deeply at Kelly that told the girl she had other objectives. 'There's a call for you' she continued he face dropping slightly.
'Right' Kelly nodded oblivious to what all the fuss was about.
'The phone is on my desk the gentleman is on hold I shall leave you too it' Camilla smiled and began to walk away. Kelly stopped her before she could get too far.
'Miss who it is?' she asked placing a hand on Miss Fritton's arm to hold her back. Camilla looked at Kelly's pale hand placed gently on her arm and sighed
'he said his name was Mitchell Jones' Camilla said after a deep breath. She kept her eyes fixed on Kelly's still outstretched arm and watched it drop as she broke the news. Kelly's mouth had fallen open but nothing came out. She stood in utter silence as Camilla walked away leaving her to enter the office.

It had been so long since anyone had spoken about her brother and now he was on the phone. Kelly tried to remember the last time she had spoken to him. She assumed it must have been at least 2 years maybe more. Kelly slowly picked up the phone that lay on the desk and held it to her ear. She could hear the deep breathing of a man waiting patiently on the other end.
'Hello' she called down the line. She tried to make her voice hard and unemotional but it still came out slightly shaky.
'Is that Kelly?' came the blunt reply
'yer' Kelly nodded to herself her voice gaining confidence. Kelly listened to the man speak and with each word that came from his lips Kelly felt her cold exterior slipping away. Her legs went weak and she collapsed into Camilla's chair the phone still pressed tightly to her ear.

The call lasted no longer that 5 minutes and as Kelly placed the receiver on the pod she felt a single tear roll down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away self consciously, although she was the only one present in the room. She stood and made her way the large gold mirror predominantly place over the fireplace in the office. She stared at herself for a moment in the mirror she could see a faint line where the tear had rolled through her makeup. She fixed her hair and reached into her bra for her glossy red lipstick re applying her mask before taking a deep breath and leaving the comfort of Camilla's office.
