Romana scowled as she felt someone poking her. 'What?' She turned and mouthed.

Saffron pointed to the front of the class. 'Look at what Tutor Braxiatel is doing.' She whispered.

As the boy finished and turned to go, the class erupted into shrieks of laughter. Romana wiped away tears of laughter. He had a pair of crude cat whiskers drawn on to his face.
