A/N: Thank you, once again, for all the reviews, follows and favourites!
This chapter took longer than usual because I was unable to gain access to my laptop last night.
I do, however, have a week off school now so I should be able to update a bit more over that time. Although, it will be my birthday within that time so I may not be able to update every day.
Now then, on with the chapter (as usual, it's a short one in between the two chapters that will follow the story lines of the episodes slightly.)
Reviews would be appreciated.
"I have a suggestion!" The Doctor told his group, stepping back from the ghost (who was really Gabriel under a white bed sheet). "Run!" He grabbed onto Rose's hands and sprinted past all the tables, where his classmates where sitting in the dark, a little light coming from the few torches set up around the room, pulling Rose out of his English classroom with him. Charles and Gwyneth joined him outside, in the corridor.
They waited, grinning in relief that their assessment was finally over, for Gabriel to finish scaring their classmates under the white sheet. The Doctor was looking at his watch, and looked up at the group around him. "That's a minute up," The Doctor told them. "We should probably stop Gabriel from scaring the class to death!"
"That would most probably be an improvement!" Charles added with a laugh. The Doctor and Rose nodded in agreement while Gwyneth let out a small smile.
It had been exactly one week since their little adventure in the school during the power cut. They had had four English lessons within that time. For the first two, the Doctor and Charles had returned to arguing with each other for any little detail. But since then, Rose, Gwyneth and Gabriel had all noticed an improvement in their friendship and the childish bickering had been replaced with jokes and conversations on how to improve their English assessment.
"Okay, we really should go in now," The Doctor spoke up looking a little worried after he heard a terrified scream coming from inside the classroom.
"Yeah, good idea!" Rose agreed quickly, with Gwyneth and Charles murmuring their agreement within seconds of the Doctor speaking. The Doctor led the way back into the classroom, noticing that the corridor was much warmer than the classroom as he did so. He flicked the light switch and the group went to join Gabriel at the front of the class to receive some feedback.
"Well, it's pretty obvious what inspired that idea," Miss Smith stated, with a little laugh. After they each received an A grade for the assessment, the rest of the lesson continued with more groups getting up to perform their own 'ghost encounter' stories.
Although the other groups who performed were rather good, the Doctor couldn't help but feel like his group had been the best and couldn't help but call out in protest when a different group received an A star, earning a glare from Miss Smith, telling him to shut up.
"I told you we should have added more to the end than just us running out," Charles hissed in the Doctor's ear in frustration that, unlike usually, he hadn't gotten the top mark in the class.
"I think you'll find it was the other way around," The Doctor muttered back. There was no way he was going to let Charles pin the fact that they got an A and not an A star on him. Besides, the Doctor was happy with the A they had managed to get. He didn't usually get an A in English. As the teachers kept telling him, the reason he kept getting B's was because he didn't put the effort in even though he was clever. The Doctor always found it weird how they could get that correct and not just assume that he was the total opposite of clever.
The Doctor and Charles continued to send insults each other's way and Gwyneth and Rose couldn't help but watch in amusement. Gwyneth had brought the fact that they were arguing again to Rose's attention by whispering to her.
"We all knew it wasn't going to last!" Rose laughed before turning back to watch Elisabeth's group perform.
