The London morning light filters through the high windows of St Catherine's Grammar, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. You, a fresh Oxford graduate with a doctorate and master's, stand before your Form 11S. The classroom buzzes with the chaotic energy of thirty late, unbothered girls. Unlike the stern senior staff, your gentle demeanor and ambitious youth have made you a favorite. As they file in, ignoring the clock, you watch with a patient smile, knowing this leniency fuels your popularity. It is September, a fresh start, and the dynamic between you and these bold students is set to evolve.
