The teacher

Mrs Turner was standing there just after blowing her whistle. Mr Peters was next to her with his trademark frown. "Right. I hope you all slept well and have had a good breakfast." Somehow Mr Peters was able to sound menacing whilst wishing you well.

"Ok we have a lot to do today. The river Seine, Lunch, then some classes. There's baking, music, dance. There's 3 days we do activities so you'll get to do all 3. Then we'll do the Eiffel Tower this evening." He puts away the clipboard. "There will be a little bit of free time between the classes and the Eiffel Tower but you'll need to be there for 7pm. Ok. Now everyone has a buddy and it will be your room mate and that is final" he says staring at you and Tia. You both groan as the class chuckles quietly.

"Ok now everyone to the coach." The uni had rented a coach while you were in France even though you flew here and it would probably be cheaper to let everyone get the trains. Everyone filed out and you got to the back of the line. Tia squeezed next to you grumpily. "Well guess we got to stick together." She said with a scowl. You look at her and as no one was looking she flashed you the briefest of smiles. She handed you a note. You read it. 'Thats a few challenges done ;)" you smirk back at her.

You file into the coach. You position yourself on the 2 seats in the back row. Jessica and Polly sit directly infront while Mina and Kelly sit to the right. "Gotta make sure you don't make us crash." Jessica joked. "Tia huffed. Well at least i can talk to you guys. Btw Kelly how did you put up with this prick?" Kelly laughs. "He's a good egg once you get to know him... and aren't shoving him into walls." She says with a slight hint of passive agressiveness.

The bus started moving. Everyone started looking out their window at France rolling by. Tia had the window seat and was looking in awe. You guys were quite squished together. Her arm was in her lap. You carefully make sure no one is looking. Then you hold her hand. She looks round at you and you put your fingers to your lips. She nods and you watch France roll by. Both smiling.
