Everyone entered the classroom. "Ugh, Miss Natt," said Serena to herself. Serena didn't like her at all because she was always overly excited and pushed her eyeballs out a lot. The majority of the boys thought she was fit. But Ash had the same opinion on her as Serena. "Right, ok. I know its sixth period on a Friday, but I don't frankly care. You have an exam coming up in May. Today, we are going to do the War and Peace unit in more detail," bellowed Miss Natt. Serena loved R.E. and liked to learn about different religious beliefs. It was just a shame she didn't like the teacher. She decided to shut Miss Natt's voice out of her head and teach the subject to herself. "Are you listening to me, Serena?" asked Miss Natt. Serena babbled a couple of words, getting a couple of laughs from the class. She regained herself. "Yes, miss." As soon as Miss Natt turned away and continued teaching, Serena returned her head to her book and ignored the overpowering voice. She could do this quite easily because she was sat at the back of class, next to Ben and not as noticeable as the rest of class. But she also hated sitting at the back. She was short-sighted, so it meant she had to put on her glasses. She thought that they made her look nerdy and tried to avoid putting them on at all costs. Ash was sat at the front of the class. He missed Serena's presence. Misty was sat next to him. She kept asking him questions about himself in a whispering tone, while he was trying to give her the hint to shut up so he could listen to Miss Natt. "Misty!" shouted Miss Natt. "Care to explain what a lesser and a greater jihad is?"
"Er, I don't know miss." Misty looked down at her book, feeling embarrassed. "That's not a surprise, seeing as in you're more interested in flirting with Ash." Serena's head shot up instantly. She hated whenever any girl flirted with Ash. But it annoyed her so much more to see Misty flirt with him. Ben chuckled to himself. "Anymore flirting with Ash and you can go straight to the cooler!" said Miss Natt.
"Sorry miss," muttered Misty. Serena smirked.
"Ok. Ash. Can you tell me?" asked Miss Natt.
"Er, a greater jihad is mental struggle for peace and a lesser one is physical struggle for peace."
"Correct." The bell rang to the satisfaction of the whole class. "Freedom!" said the class. "Oi!" shouted Miss Natt. "Did I at any point say you could go?"
"Well the bell went," said Ben.
"So what!" She paused for a while and then allowed the class to leave. Everyone sighed in relief as they thought she was going to keep them longer.
