Georgia looked back at the blonde with a concerned look on her face as she was led away. Despite telling herself there was no reason to be afraid of the teenagers, she found that actually she was very afraid.

"They wanted me to give them five bucks for leaning on the wall...", she mumbled in explanation.

"Yeah... they like pushing people around, throwing their weight and their daddy's names." Dana says with a frown

"But never mind them, they're all hot air!" Dana says, trying to cheer Georgia up as they arrive at the classroom!

Georgia smiled at Dana, but still blushed at the idea of having to run from school bullies now. She could just picture the newspapers reports where journalists had mocked her for failing to take down villains over the years... and cringed at what they'd say if they could see her now.

"Thanks", she said, latching onto Dana with another hug. After so long without physical contact, she could hardly stop herself now. It felt so good!

Dana giggles and hugs back tightly, leading Georgia into the classroom. She takes a seat in the second row, indicating for Georgia to sit next to her!

Georgia sat down beside her, and began taking everything she needed from her backpack. She also took the opportunity to take a quick peek at her phone to see if she had any messages!

No messages as of yet! As she is checking, she may notice a shadow over her desk.

"No phones during class young lady." a smooth male voice says

Georgia panicked, and quickly pushed the phone back into her bag to look up and find the source of the male voice...

A man looking like he was in his 30s with brown hair and a stubbly bear wearing a white shirt with red tie and unbuttoned blazer smiles down at Georgia.

"Miss Hepkins yes? Suzie's cousin? I'll let it slide since you're new, but don't let me see you with it in class again. Understood?"

Georgia was quite stunned that she'd just been called young lady by a guy no older than she was last week.

"S-Sorry", she stammered, her cheeks going bright red at the embasassment as she nodded to confirm her identity, at least taking pleasure from the fact he'd recognised her due to a similarity in appearance between her and Suzie.

"Yes, Sir", she said, gazing down at the desk as she answered, still blushing, and felt a tingle run down her spine as she realised just how much change came with being a kid. Her brown eyes glanced nervously to Dana.

Dana is staring at the man with a rather dreamy look in her eyes. The man smiles and goes to the board.

"Right everyone, we will be continuing where we left on, on algebraic fractions. Georgia, try to keep up as best you can."

Georgia's eyes widened when she saw how Dana was looking at the teacher, and when her name was mentioned her gaze snapped back to him, her blush brightening, and her mind temporarily going blank. Hurriedly she flipped through her text book.

"Which page?", she whispered to Dana.

"Huh? Er, 52." Dana whispers back, snapping out of her trance. THe teacher starts writing on the board, explaining how to reduce an algebraic fraction to it's simplest form

Georgia had foolishly thought that the work side of going back to school would be the easiest part of it all, but was brought back to reality very suddenly as she stared at the page. She hadn't even thought about equations since leaving school a very, very long time ago, and was now faced with the horrifying prospect of struggling to keep up with thirteen year olds. She watched the teacher go through the workings on the board, chewing on her thumbnail as the panic set in.

THankfully, looking at the textbook shows a step-by-step example of what the teacher is talking about. If there's one thing Georgia understands from her old job, it's flow-charts!

Georgia was concentrating about as hard as she'd ever done to keep up, her gaze going back and forth between the textbook and the board at the front of the class, while she scribbled down notes of what the teacher was saying. There had been so many positives about the last few days, about being with Amanda and Suzie, she'd almost forgotten that this was meant to be a punishment from the Hellchemist, and it certainly felt like one now. She'd never had time for men, but there was something so embarrassing about the way this one had spoken to her, just like a child.
