Chapter 5
Over in the science block, the Doctor had just started teaching a year eleven class. "Good morning, I'm Mr Smith and I will be replacing Mr McGinn while he's away. Now I would like you to turn to page 72 in the text books and read through the page. While you areadoring that I shall take the register." He said.
After taking the register he discussed to the class about how the heart works and the parts of it. H started to write notes on the blackboard, when he suddenly stopped. A young boy was singing at the back of the class. He was singing Viva Las Vegas loudly.
"Can you please stop singing" asked the Doctor. The boy went silent for a few minutes, before singing once more. This time he sang Hound Dog, also by Elvis. "I said stop singing."
A young blone haired girl with glasses, who sat next to the boy, told the Doctor that he hadn't had his medication this morning.
Suddenly the lights flickered and the old computer that sat on the Doctor's desk, died. At this moment Janet Criddle rushed into the room. "You had it too. It must have been a sudden power surge." She said. "Hmmm maby. Anyway the computer is not dead, so what do I do now?" Asked the Doctor. Mrs Criddle grabbed one of the textbooks and flicked through it. "Well they have basically finished this section on the heart now, so, the are now about to go on to this." She said, pointing at a page containing information on the fertilisation of the human egg and how humans reproduce.
"Basically they need to read through and answer the questions, while also making notes in their books. Shouldn't be too difficult." She handed the book to him and left the room. The Doctor walked back to the front of the classroom. "Ok then right. Mrs Criddle said to turn to page 74 and read through that section, making notes and answering the questions as you go along. Oh and sorry what was your name?" He said. The young boy who was singing earlier looked at him.
"Sam sir." He said.
"Well Sam, I don't mind you singing as long as you work. You are a good singer by the way. Are you a big Elvis fan?" Sam nodded and continued to sing until the bell went, marking the end of first period.
