This again is an earlier work that I have rewritten.

Chapter 1
The final bell of the day, in fact the final bell of the week rang out and the 6
th
form students showed more energy in the 20 seconds it took them to gather up their belongings and exit the room than they had in the previous hour of the class on 20th century history and politics.
"Ok, people, don't forget the extended essay on the comparison between
Germany's role in Europe in the first and second halves of the 20
th
century is due next week. Have a good weekend and see you next week."
Darren Rutherford sat back down at his desk and was in the process of closing down his laptop when he noticed that two of the class were still in the room, whispering to each other.
"Come on Cheryl and Kimberley, haven't you got homes to go to?"
"Err, Dazza ..." said the smaller, dark haired, Cheryl, whose almond eyes and brown complexion gave her a slightly Asian look.
"That's Mr. Rutherford, if you don't mind Cheryl Kimber and anyway I hate being called Dazza. When I was your age that would be a detention offence at least."
"When was that, before Hitler came to power?" The two girls giggled together.
"LOL, I believe would be the response to that. Anyway, what do you want, if you two haven't got homes to go to, I certainly have?"
"Err, we just wanted to ask what are the best clubs to go to in town," said Kimberley, a tall blonde with deep blue eyes and legs that seemed to go on for ever.
"Firstly, clubs should be of absolutely no interest to you two even if you are 18 most places only let in people over 21 so you wouldn't get past the door and secondly, why are you asking me?"
"Nah, no problem getting in, we've got ID," said Kimberley. "We know you go clubbing sometimes and you're a cool guy so we trust your judgement."
This conversation was starting to get out of hand so Darren felt he needed to get it back on to a firmer teacher - student footing.
"I will ignore the fact that you've just admitted to having fake ID but I'm glad you trust my judgement as I will say that at your age you should be nowhere near clubs with all of the dangers of booze, drugs and predatory blokes that entails. Stay home girls and keep your beautiful arses out of danger." He instantly regretted the last comment but he had been trying to make the point without sounding too parental, but it came back to bite him on the bum immediately.
"Ooh, Chezza, he thinks we've got beautiful arses, I think mine's better that yours."
"Nah, Kim, you're too lardy. Go on Dazza, tell us, who has got the best bum?"
"Enough girls, I was just trying to make a point."
Both girls laughed uproariously.
"Yeah, most blokes would make a point at the thought of our bums, wouldn't they Kim?" said Cheryl. "Even the oldies like Dazza, in fact I reckon, the oldies would go more for firm teenage bums that blokes our age."
This was definitely getting out of hand and he blushed, which of course was picked up by the two girls who laughed even harder.
"Look he's blushing! He must have something to hide, he's obviously a bum man, hey Dazza, you like the feel of firm teenage arse or do you prefer perky teenage tits?"
"Cut it out, you two. Now, if you've quite finished I'd like to go home as I am going out tonight and would like to get ready."
"See, told you, he's out clubbing. Where you going, sir, Rizzo's? Crap joint that, if you ask me?"
"If you know so much about clubs why are you asking me? Actually, I go to Park End in Oxford just to make sure I don't bump into students from here, again he regretted the `too much information' he had just given out.
"Ooh, Reading not good enough for you then Dazza? You have to go to mix it with the posh lot."
"Come on girls, time to go."
Giggling and whispering to themselves they moved towards the door with him just behind. At the door Kimberley stopped and turned back to him and looked at him with a guilty smile and rested her hand on his forearm.
"Sorry to tease you, Dazza ... err ... Mr. Rutherford. We do rate you as a teacher, in fact me and Cheryl think you're the best in the school and we wouldn't tease you like this if we didn't think you'd find it a little bit funny. Anyway, just thought I'd say sorry," and quickly leaned up and brushed his cheek with her lips.
Stunned, Darren immediately put his hand to his cheek and then turned to look for the nearest CCTV camera which fortunately was pointing into the classroom and not at the door. He then turned back to the two girls, his eyes flitting between them.
