((Shit guys, I'm really sorry it's taken so long to do this >_< Hopefully you all haven't given up yet...))

Kat snorted slightly once the teacher had come around and collected their pages – obviously he must have just given up. She wasn’t sure whether or not to be surprised – this was supposed to be a fancy-ass prep school, surely they would have had teachers with a bit more resolve than that? But she supposed it was the first day of the year – not giving new students the chance to socialize and make friends was a bad idea anyways.

“It is a prudish, old school – but I suppose it’s not all that bad. The facilities that I’ve seen all look really top notch, so they’re obviously putting the money to places where it counts.” 
Kat replied, looking around the room for emphasis. “Although, I still don’t really think that ‘hanging with the wrong crowd’ totally warrants sending you halfway around the world…” She added with a slightly frown. “I mean, I’ve never really spent a lot of time in the city before, I lived in one of the more rural towns south of Perth. Bit of a shock to be here to tell you the truth – the sky looks different, and the smell is god awful.”

“I guess it’s still an opportunity. I mean, they don’t have school as old or as pretentious as this in Australia, right? And we’re away from the prying eyes of parents, so there’s that too.” 

Finally the bell rang – and what a godsend it was. Kat began to collect her things, throwing a glance at the couple in front of Dylan and herself. Cute, they’d exchanged phone numbers. And by the sounds of it, she was trying to line up a date as well. 

“Don’t suppose you want company for the next class as well?” Kat asked, pushing her glasses back up her nose and stepping up out of her chair. “Us convicts have to stick together, right?”
