“There wasn't any
homework."
“None?” I look at
Lauren but she's scrolling through her phone and doesn't look up.
“Not even English?” Mrs Maguire is notorious among the fifth year
for giving more homework than it's actually possible to do without
giving up telly altogether.
“Nah. She was away
today. We had a relief teacher in. Miss Roony. She let us watch this
old black and white film 'cause it was based on The Tempest.”
“Really?” I
wouldn't put it past Lauren to tell me there was no homework just to
get me in shit but the whole thing about the student teacher making
them watch Forbidden Planet was a bit past her ability to make up.
“Would have been worth staying for that.”
“Nah. It was really
boring.” She held up her phone. “Have you seen this vid of a kid
trying to pull-start a vacuum cleaner?”
God! She's such an
idiot sometimes. “Who moved your rock? That's years old.”
She huffed. “Well I
hadn't seen it.”
