AN: Angels of sin: Thank's for the hint about gloves. I knew about long skirts, but I didn't know that. I'll make sure not to forget! Any other tips are welcome. Anyway, next part;

**********

Well, Mr Gaskell has given us his usual lecture; No contraband, respect, rules, cheating, all that stuff. He gave us an extra-special reminder of the six-inch rule, as well. I know he does that every year, and every year he directs it at one form. Well, this year it was our turn. I suppose he figures, now we're nearly 16. I suppose I'll need to be careful. Mr Hall was giving me and Joe the evil eye all through Gaskell's lecture. I wonder if he saw us on the field.

Anyway, the girls are here now, which is good. Except, of course, that that means Caroline Crimp is here, too. She's already been on at me, silly cow. My gloves were dirty, she said, and I'd be a disgrace to our form. As if anyone would notice. Matron didn't when she came and gave us a talking about cleanliness and uniforms. But then, Caroline's got her eye on Head Girl spot, we all know that. She still has three years of school to go, but that won't stop her. Beth Nunary is Head Girl this year, and she's alright. Head Boy is Nick's older brother, who we all know is a bit of a nerd.

I'll admit, it's nice to see my friends again, even if I do miss seeing my family. And as long as I can keep out of Miss Crimp's way, this year might not be all that bad.

Hetty.
