Tilly sat watching Jen in all her glory. Standing at the front of the classroom passionately gushing about art. All of the students hanging off every word she said. Jen was so animated when she spoke, engaging the class and making it effortless for them to take in everything she was teaching them. Tilly looked around at everyone as they focused all their attention on the beautiful woman at the front of the room and felt proud of Jen. Tilly realised she was probably biased but still Jen was a really good teacher. The best in fact. She was born to do this and Tilly felt a pang of guilt as she remembered all those months ago when she had tried to make Jen quit. Now that she had calmed down and witnessed Jens teaching first hand she could understand why her career meant so much to her. She was in love with teaching and it was beautiful to watch. Tilly was disturbed from her thoughts by a knock at the door.

Jen rolled her eyes. She hated being interrupted mid flow. "Come in!"

The door opened to reveal a girl a little bit older than the rest of the class. She had smokey eyes, long dark hair and dressed in mainly black with the odd spike customising her leather jacket and biker boots. To make her look less intimidated she had teamed this with lots of delicate chains around her neck. She leant against the door frame as she chewed on gum. She looked around the class. "This is A level art yeah?"

Jen smiled widely "Yep. Can I help you?"

"Hope so. I want to pass this time!"

Jen looked blankly.

"Lexie. I'm joining your class today. Ring any bells?" Lexie oozed confidence as she made her way to a seat and sat down.

Jen still looked blank and clearly didn't appreciate Lexies attitude "No. No it doesn't."

Lexie tutted and held out a piece of paper. Waiting for Jen to walk over to her and get it. Jen raised her eyebrows and stayed where she was holding out her hand for Lexie to walk to give her the form. Tilly smiled to herself at Jens stubbornness.
Lexie gave in and walked to the front if the class to give Jen the form. Jen read it and nodded. "Ok well take a seat Lexie"

"Right so basically I want you to split into groups of two for our next assignment. It's all about beauty. In two weeks I want you to hand in a piece of work that represents what you perceive to be beautiful. Anything you want. If anyone hands in a photograph of a celebrity then I won't be responsible for my actions" Jen laughed.

The class all started to pair up. Everyone avoiding Lexie and her intimidating demeanour. Tilly was just about to walk over to Gemma the quiet girl in the class when Jen caught her eye. Jen nodded her head towards Lexie sitting in her own and raised her eye brows questionably. Tilly shook her head whilst mouthing "No way" Jen pouted and batted her lashes. Tilly sighed with frustration and reluctantly made her way over to Lexie.

"Yeah?" Lexie looked up at Tilly.

"Charming. Look do you want to work together or what?" Tilly rolled her eyes.

Lexie looked around the room seeing everyone else paired off. "Yeah suppose so."

"Oh don't do me any favours" Tilly laughed sarcastically. She already didn't like Lexie. The way she'd spoken to Jen had irritated her but Jen wanted Tilly to make an effort and Tilly would jump through fire if she thought it would make Jen happy.

"Right well just don't expect me to do all the work alright? Just because I'm more experienced doesn't mean you can take the piss" Lexie warned half joking.

"Got it." Tilly nodded and widen her eyes in mock despair towards Jen. Jen winked and mouthed "Thank you baby
