The school bell rang which signalled the end of the lesson. Madi was so happy that her first lesson at Waterloo Road was over. Mr Clarkson was a really good teacher and she got a really good vibe from him but English just wasn't one of her favourite subjects. Madi pulled out her timetable to see what lesson she had next. French with Miss Haydock and then Chemistry with Mr Mead. She wasn't entirely happy with her timetable as she was studying subjects that weren't really her forte but she wanted to make her mum proud.

Since it was break, Madi decided to head down to Mr Mead's classroom to see if he was there. Once she was arrived outside the science lab, she knocked on the door and walked in.

"Sir, are you busy?" Mr Mead shook his head and indicated for her to come in and take a seat.

"How was your first class? Settle in alright?" Chris wanted to make up for his little blunder earlier that morning. He was hoping that Madi hadn't realised.

"Suppose it was alright." Madi paused, she hadn't really intended on coming to see Mr Mead to talk about her timetabled lessons, she wanted to ask him a question. A question which had been crossing her mind the whole time she was sat in English. "Sir?"

"Yes?"

Madi didn't know how to put what she wanted to say into words without it coming out wrong. As a matter of fact, she didn't know whether anything would come out of her mouth at all.

"I..I..Errr"

Chris looked at the young girl confused. What was she trying to ask? Whatever it was, she seemed to having some trouble spitting it out.

"If there's something you need to talk about Madison, you know I'm here to help you and to listen to whatever you have to say." Chris tried to reassure her, she was in his care after all seen as he was taking over whilst Karen was absent.

Madi couldn't think at all. No words popped into her head. Just do it, she thought to herself. She stood up and walked around the desk to where Mr Mead was sitting. From the look on his face, she could tell that he was unsure of what she was doing. She took hold of his hand and tried to lead him to the store cupboard at the back of the room.

"Madison.."

Chris was interrupted.

"Madi. Please don't call me Madison."

Chris paused before trying to speak again. He didn't realise that he hadn't let go of her hand.

"Madi, listen to me, this is wrong. Very wrong. Your my student and I am your teacher. You are a very very very beautiful girl and I will admit the first time I saw you I felt something but this cannot happen."

Disappointment struck and it was evident on Madi's face. However, he had admitted that he thought she was beautiful and that he had felt something which was better than nothing. She didn't know where to look as she felt a little bit stupid.

"Sorry."

Chris looked at her. He felt so guilty. Deep down he wanted her so much even though he hardly knew her. She was truly spectacular even if she was much younger than him and dressed in a school uniform.

He sighed. He didn't like the idea of risking his career, but what the heck, she was defiantly not worth losing.

"Listen, are you busy tonight? I'll give you my address and if you want to, you can come round mine for tea and we can get to know one another…"

Madi's face lit up. Chris couldn't help but smile.

"What time?" She asked eagerly.

"Come for about 8ish"
