Lunchtime arrived and Florence went to Mrs Diamond's room. She was the only one there and she couldn't focus on science. She needed to get back to Harper and Ethan. Mrs Diamond thought that she'd try again with Florence, and get to the bottom of what was causing her strange behaviour and defensiveness. "What jobs do your mum and dad have?"
"My mum works in a supermarket, my dad's a plumber."
"That's nice. What do you want to do when your older?"
"I want to run my own bakery."
"That's good then. Year 11, aren't you? Not long until you leave school. You'll be out in the world, away from us. On your own."
"I never thought of it like that. I want to stay here for sixth form though."
"Put the work in and you'll be gladly accepted!"
Meanwhile, Lorraine marched a group of year 10 pupils to Michael's office. "Smoking. Behind the stage curtains. I'm sure you can deal with this, Michael," she explained as they filled into the office.
