Imogen had lunch with Conor and were now on their way to english with Ms. Mulgrew, Connors mom. The other students were just walking into class as they did too. They sat at the back at a desk for two. This was Conors first encounter with his Mam since what happened with her at home that morning. Ms. Mulgrew waited till everyone took their sits " books out and settle down " she spoke clearly but Conor could tell she had been drinking alcohol. " Great she has been drinking, I can tell, this will be a long class " Conor said in barely a whisper to Imogen, who looked up at him. Ms. Mulgrew spotted him talking although she couldn't hear what he said she began giving out " Conor what are you talking about? Go
on share it with the class" she said sternly to which Conor shook his head " nothing " he mumbled , his mom rolled her eyes before caring on with class she turned to the her desk to pick up " Macbeth" turning to quick she stumbled slightly but managed to steady watching his mom in disgust. Ms. Muglrew sat down at her desk explaining the plotline to the students and picked one of them to read out loud. Imogen followed along with her book while Conor got lost in his thoughts gazing out the classroom window.
Ms. Mulgrew noticed Conor not paying attention at the end of the first scene which was only short she asked him his opinion on the scene to which he wasn't sure off. " Conor pay attention your you will be doing rules tomorrow at lunch " she warned him, before letting the class work in pairs to discuss the scene, but she moved Imogen to work with Scout and put Phoenix with Conor. Conor was now completely fed up with his mom ruining his life. Ms. Mulgrew wasn't getting reaction off Conor anymore , so turned her attention to Imogen, she wanted to teach Conor to stop controlling her and interfering with her alcoholic problems . After they had 5 minutes to discuss she asked each group what they had come up with , except on asking Imogen and Scout she kept looking for more of them putting them on the spot, embarrassing them . As Ms. Mulgrew turned to write up the homework on the board. " What's her problem " Scout mumbled to Imogen who shrugged her shoulders.
After the bell went they left the classroom Conor caught up with Imogen guilt across his face as they walked alone " im really sorry, I'll talk to her later " he spoke kindly. Imogen smiled " she is just tryi g to get at you, don't let her " she smiled at him softly " my mom's at work why don't you come to mine and we can get our homework done and hang out, Scout and Phoenix are coming too " she said softly to him. Connor nodded " sounds great " he offered her his hand , Imogen held his hand slipping her fingers through his as they headed to hers.
