Megan lived with her roommate Jenna in a small apartment in the middle of the busy city centre of Dublin. Megan had recently graduated from college with first class honours in her masters primary education degree, she had always wanted to be a teacher ever since she was young, though it was also because there was a strong teacher ethic in the family, her parents were teachers, her grandmothers were teachers, the list went on, but for generations her family had been serving in the education sector. Megan was a beautiful young woman of twenty-five, her long brown hair was seen to resemble the colour of chestnuts, and her blue eyes shone like the ocean. She was very intelligent for her age, of course with a first class masters degree, it was clear to see. In her spare time, Megan loved to paint and she often had her pictures on display in the local art gallery to the awe of everyone. They all thought she was like Da Vinci or Michelangelo, but Megan would always play down these claims and say that she was just doing it for fun. On the weekends Megan would often travel up and down the country to different art galleries to see other artists works and how she could learn from their works in order to enhance her skills. 

Sitting down one day, she was talking to Jenna about various things when she said, " Jenna, I've an interview tomorrow morning and I have got nothing nice to wear, most of my clothes would be too casual for an interview. I never wear dresses or anything formal, but now I suppose I need to change my discomfort if I'm going to be in the working world." Jenna nodded, "yes, Megan, I learned that quite quickly when I started in the law firm. Now, let's go, we've to go to town to get you some new clothes." Megan didn't know whether to be nervous or excited about the situation and that she'd have to dress herself up for her interview.

Walking through the busy streets of Dublin, it seemed to Megan that they were walking for ages and that she did not know where Jenna was taking her. Eventually they stopped outside a shop that had many expensive clothes in the window display. Walking inside, they were greeted by a woman with a tape measure dangling over her shoulders. "Good morning ladies, I am Angela, how may I help you this morning?" Megan replied, "I've an interview tomorrow at 9am, and I was looking for something to wear. Something formal, not too formal, but not casual either." Nodding, Angela asked them to follow her upstairs. Walking through the various clothing aisles, she arrived at the menswear section. Megan looked around her with bemusement, "this is the men's section." Jenna glanced at Megan with a dismayed look on her face. Looking on the different shelves, Angela eventually picked out a matching beige jacket and slacks, a white shirt, a blue tie and a pair of black loafers. Megan thought to herself, "a tie? I'm a woman, we don't wear ties. I've never worn a tie before, I wouldn't know how to tie one either. "Try this for starters Megan" Angela exclaimed.

Resigned to having to put on the suit, Megan sighed, this was going to be a long Sunday morning. Knowing that she was outmatched two to one, Megan took the suit in her hands and walked into the changing room. Putting on the crisp-white shirt, she buttoned it up to the top, closing her top button. Next came the slacks, Megan felt they were actually quite comfortable around her hips. The next piece of her sartorial change was the blazer. Looking at herself in the changing room mirror, Megan smiled with confidence, there was something about this look that suddenly made her feel ten times as confident as usual, she felt like she was on top of the world and that nothing would bring her down. Walking out, she turned to Jenna and Angela, "how do I look?" Jenna's eyes lit up, "wow, you look amazing Megan, now for the piece de resistance, the tie!." Megan nodded, "could one of you help me with it please?" Angela placed the tie around Megan's neck and proceeded to tie it, "there you go Megan, I tied it in a Windsor knot, practice tying different knots when you get home and you'll be sorted for the morning." Looking at herself in the mirror, Megan felt even more confident with the tie on, there was something about it that just made her feel incredible. "Wow, I feel so confident, perhaps I should start wearing suits more often."

When they had finished their browsing, Megan decided to buy several suits, she had been so impressed by how she looked that she had decided to completely redo her wardrobe, even if it meant that she would have to discard a lot of her casual clothes. Putting on the suit, Megan felt amazing and she realised that her casual clothes were boring, she needed a new look. 

After they had finished purchasing the suits, Megan put one on to try it in public. Leaving the shop, Megan and Jenna were walking down the streets. Everyone looked at Megan with awe on their faces, and nearly every second person stopped Megan to say that she looked fantastic. Megan felt so happy with herself that even her worst enemy could insult he, and Megan would not care one bit. The shirt collar was nice and tight, she felt a loose collar took away the formality of a shirt and especially when someone wore a tie that was loose and the top button was open. Megan felt that if one was to wear a suit and tie, they should be obliged to wear it in a proper fashion. 

Upon their return to the apartment, Megan marched into her bedroom. Opening her wardrobe, she examined its contents. "These t-shirts, too tacky, these jeans, too worn. The dresses I'll keep for special occasions. The runners, they're ok for the gym. Other than that, I think the rest can go, I'll sell them to a charity shop, there are bound to be people who need them more than I do. Right, operation new Megan has well and truly begun. Time to show the world there's a new me. I'm wearing a suit, some people can speak negatively to me about it, but who cares? Most people in town said I looked amazing and that I had some serious suit game. Tomorrow, I am going to ace that interview for sure." Jenna walked in, "I'll say it again, and I'll say it a million times, you look amazing Megan. Now, let's get the final preparations done. We'll do a mock interview before dinner."

Waking up the next day, Megan got showered and dressed early. She had spent the evening practicing tie knots with videos she had seen on YouTube which was helpful. Putting on her tie, Megan winked at herself in the mirror, "Megan, you look amazing", she said to herself. At that moment, Megan heard a little chuckle, it was Jenna standing in the bathroom doorway, "talking to yourself again Megan? You're a curious one, I'll give you that." Megan laughed, "You probably think I'm a complete poser, all dressed to the nines and talking to myself in a bathroom mirror." Shaking her head, Jenna replied, "no, you're my best friend! Girl, you go to that interview and you kick some serious butt, you show them why they should hire you." Smiling, Megan knew that the backing of her best friend had given her a morale boost.

Walking out of the apartment, Megan made her way out onto the main streets which was filled with people going to and fro in all different directions, of course it being 8:30am, it was bound to be, with pupils going to school and parents off to work. Getting on the bus, Megan noticed that it was reasonably quiet for a Monday morning. Sticking in her Air-Pods, Megan listened to music on the way to the school, she loved to listen to the likes of Frank Sinatra, an artist who Megan claimed had a very nice singing voice, one that was quite captivating and would easily fill a room full of screaming fans. The bus eventually pulled up near the school after what seemed like a long time. Disembarking, Megan looked around her trying to find the school entrance which she eventually noticed. 

Strolling in the school entrance, Megan walked in the front door where she passed by an austere-looking man with steel-rimmed glasses, he did not look like the kind of guy who had many friends. Noticing her, he continued on his walk down the corridors like a stormtrooper. She was joined by a young woman, roughly her own age, who exclaimed, "I see you've met Mr Tate, word of advice, that guy is not a friendly guy, he had some serious marital issues and he's been cranky ever since. The pupils always behave in his presence, and he's strict on discipline. Anyways, I'm Maria, I'm the new headmistress around here. You must be Megan, I'm truly delighted you came this morning, and may I say how wonderful you look in that suit. I wouldn't have the confidence to wear one, but you seem to radiate confidence. Now, if you'd like to follow me to my office and we can begin the interview." Megan followed Maria up a nearby staircase, she was slightly nervous but also excited to see how the interview would go.

Walking into Maria's office, Megan was stunned by the décor of the room, there were some amazing watercolour paintings hanging on the wall and the furniture was all antique furniture, something Megan liked, she always felt antique furniture had more of a history to tell. Sitting down at the desk, Maria exclaimed, "Megan, as I previously said, I'm delighted that you came here this morning, you and I, we're very alike in that we have youth on our side. Schools are looking for young, fresh graduates, those who are hungry and want the jobs and will do anything to get them. Mr Tate, who you met, he used to be the headmaster here, but after his divorce he became a lot more austere and he was relegated back to his regular teaching position. My predecessor retired last year and she recommended me to be chosen as the new headmistress around here, I wasn't sure whether I was ready, but she gave me the confidence to go for it, and since I started, I've been told that I was a popular choice by both students and parents, and my colleagues were delighted that they had a fresh, youthful I might add, face to take the reins. Anyways, that's enough of my monologuing, that's not why you came."

After about an hour, the interview had finished, Maria was awestruck by everything Megan had to offer. "Well, Megan, that has been the best interview I've heard in my very short tenure as headmistress here, you've got the job, the English staff will be delighted to have a new member join them. Ms. Collins, she's always looking out for new teachers, she'll be your mentor here until you get the hang of things. She's a kind soul, she always likes to help new staff settle in, and of course all the students like her too. Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow morning at 9, I know you're a very prompt person as you mentioned earlier, but we like our staff to be on time every day, but that won't be an issue with you. See you tomorrow Megan, and if you have any questions, please knock on my door at any time."

Upon her return home, Megan sat down in a chair, she had heard the best news of her day so far, but Jenna was at work so she would have to wait until she returned to share the good news with her. Getting up again, Megan walked out of the apartment, locking it behind her. "I think I'll go get a coffee somewhere, I think I deserve it." Making her way out onto the busy streets, it was still busy even at 10am, people going in all directions, some went like a blur that nearly made Megan's head spin. 

Eventually she found her local coffee shop and strolled in. Waving to the staff who she knew from going in over the years, she walked up to the counter where the barista, a slim man of about forty, with a receding hairline, exclaimed, "the usual Megan?" She nodded, "you know it Mike, it's great to see you, I'm sorry to hear of your divorce." Smiling meekly, he replied, "to be honest Megan, it was for the best, the relationship between Cassie and I was just toxic, we were always fighting, and it had a negative impact on the kids, we tried to settle our differences but they were all in vain. Luckily, I gained custody of them, the courts deemed that Cassie was unfit to raise our kids, though her mother, Áine, comes over from time to time to mind them. She was very sympathetic towards me, and said once that Cassie would regret divorcing me. She said that Cassie had never married a better guy, and unlike Cassie, Áine was proud to have me as a son-in-law. Here's your coffee kiddo, say hi to your mum for me." Taking the coffee in her hand, Megan replied, "thanks Mike, I certainly will, she's always asking how you are, especially since the divorce."

Turning around to walk outside, someone accidentally bumped into Megan which sent her coffee all over her suit. The other person looked horrified, "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry, I feel terrible, your suit is covered in coffee." Megan had tears in her eyes, her expensive clothes were now soaked in coffee and cream. It had quickly turned her morning from a moment of happiness to a moment of horror. "My suit, my lovely new suit, and my tie." Another staff member walked over to her and put her arm around Megan to comfort her, "it's ok sweetheart, we'll give you a change of clothes and we'll send your suit to the cleaners, it's the least we could do to make up for this unfortunate situation." The other person exclaimed, "I'm Lena. Since, I'm the one who caused this mishap, I'll pay for your suit at the cleaners, here's my number. Perfect, I now have yours too, I'll text you when I hear from the cleaners about your suit."

That evening, Megan was sitting in an armchair by the fireside. She was sipping a mug of coffee when Jenna walked in from work. Noticing Megan in the armchair, and her change of clothes, Jenna exclaimed, "Megan, where is your suit and tie, and why are you wearing the coffee shop uniform?" Putting her coffee mug on the table, Megan looked up at Jenna with a suspicious look on her face. "The reason, Jenna, why I am not in my suit is because I decided after the interview that I would buy myself a coffee. When I turned around to walk out of the shop, another woman called Lena accidentally bumped into me which sent my coffee and cream all over my suit, she even offered to pay the cleaning bill for it."

Jenna looked furious, her hard-earned money on a suit for her best friend and someone called Lena had stupidly bumped into Megan. "Is that right Megan? In case you have forgotten, I paid for that suit as a gift for you, and this Lena 'accidentally' spills coffee on it. I can't believe it, that suit cost me a lot of money. Maybe Lena can buy you the next one." Megan was astounded by this response, "Jenna, how dare you insinuate that there's anything between Lena and I? She was most kind, and you're behaving like a petulant child. You forget that I own this apartment, and I can kick you out at anytime I want, in fact, go find yourself a hotel to stay in tonight, I'm fed up of listening to you squawking." Without saying a word, Jenna marched out of the apartment, slamming the door behind her.

Waking up the following morning, Megan decided to wear a navy pinstripe suit and a powder blue tie. Putting on the crisp-white shirt, she buttoned it up to the top, making sure to close her top button. Since she had started wearing suits, Megan had fallen in love with wearing tight collared shirts, she felt that a loose collared shirt took away some of the lustre of a shirt. Picking up the slacks, she put them on and fastened the black belt around her waist. Looking at herself in the mirror, Megan exclaimed, "my favourite part, the tie. I think today I'll wear a triple Windsor knot." Tying her tie, Megan smiled at the figure in the reflection. Putting on the blazer, Megan's eyes gleamed, she was radiating confidence. Lastly came the socks and loafers. When she had finished getting dressed, Megan looked at herself in the mirror again, straightening her tie and putting her hair up in a bun.

When she arrived at the school, she walked in the main entrance. Students walked past her in all directions, some muttering to each other which Megan overheard, they were muttering as to why a woman was wearing a suit and tie to work. Upon reaching Maria's office, she knocked gently on the door. "Come in." Walking into the office, Megan exclaimed, "it's me Megan." Maria looked up from her laptop, "ah Megan, wonderful to see you this morning, you look terrific, that suit is really something. I'm glad you decided to join our school family. Now, if you would like to follow me, I've an announcement to make in the auditorium." Speaking into the intercom, Maria spoke up, "all students shall report to the auditorium, and you will all tidy up your uniforms, I want you to look proud in them. Also, blazers are mandatory for any occasions in the auditorium."  Following Maria to the auditorium, Megan looked around her, the auditorium was huge, it could easily fit over two thousand people when required.

Maria, noticing Megan's awe, exclaimed, "fascinating, isn't it? I remember feeling the exact same thing the first time I entered it in first year. I always get a thrill out of seeing it." Standing at the door, Maria stopped each student as they arrived, "Lily, fix that tie, Kate, button that blazer, Toby, close your top button. You look perfect Elektra, always properly dressed. Jake, retie your tie properly." Eventually she had finished, and said to Megan, "we carry out uniform inspections before every class."

When everyone was seated, Megan followed Maria onstage. Sitting down, she watched Maria stood up to the microphone, "Staff, students, I have summoned you all here this morning to welcome Megan Silva to our school. She is taking over from Ms. Tyler in the English department. You students shall treat her with respect and courtesy at all times. I do not want to hear any complaints that you are misbehaving. Megan, would you care to say a few words?" Megan nodded and stood up. Straightening her tie as she stood up to the microphone, she exclaimed, thank you headmistress for those kind words. As she mentioned, I am the new English teacher and I want to help you do your very best during your time in this school. I will be a fair teacher, but I will not tolerate any messing or misbehaving, I will not hesitate to reprimand anyone who is misbehaving. You are grown up pupils and I expect you to act like it. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak, headmistress." 

Maria stood up, "Ms. Silva everyone. Now, go off to class, there's learning to be done." Following Maria out of the auditorium, Megan walked down a long corridor. Reaching her classroom, Maria exclaimed, "here's your classroom, number 7." Megan chuckled, "7 is my lucky number." With a smile on her face, Maria replied, "mine too. Now, I'll give you the key, and if you need anything at all, please come visit my office, my door is always open." Megan watched as Maria walked back down the corridor to her office. Looking around the classroom, Megan knew that this was the result of all the hard work she had performed in her collegiate studies.

Watching as her students arrived, Megan gulped silently, all the smarts, all the skills had led her to this moment. This was her first class as a full-time teacher and she was determined to make it memorable. "Everyone, before you sit down, smarten yourselves up, you are obligated to look smart in your uniforms. Straighten your ties, close your top buttons, tuck in your shirts etc etc. Excellent, now take your seats."

Standing at the top of the classroom, Megan laid out all her necessities neatly on her desk. "As the headmistress mentioned, I am Ms. Silva, I am here to teach you all about English, and prepare you for your exams at Christmas. I am a fair teacher, but I will not tolerate any messing. That goes for everyone, understood?" Everyone nodded to understand. At that moment, a student raised his hand, and Megan exclaimed, "yes?" The student had a cheeky smile on his face, "Ms. Silva, if you're a woman, why are you wearing a suit and tie?" With a look of disgust, Megan replied, "I am a teacher, you on the other hand have no right to question what I choose to wear. Colin, for your snide remark, you are getting double homework tonight, that'll teach you to keep your smart mouth closed." The other students laughed, they had watched as their fellow pupil had just been embarrassed by their teacher.

At the end of the class, Megan exclaimed, "you are to read chapter one of Hamlet and write a small summary of it, a page will do." The students walked out of the classroom, and when they had left, one of Megan's new colleagues walked in, "your first class completed, way to go Megan, the first is always the hardest. Apologies, I never introduced myself, I'm Tina, my classroom is across the hall. Just knock on the door if you need anything." "Thanks Tina, I'll be sure to do that" Megan replied, she was delighted that she had already made a new friend in her first day of her new job.

In what seemed instantaneously, it was 3pm which signified the end of the school day. Walking down the corridor, Megan arrived at Maria's office. Rapping gently on the door with her knuckles, Megan heard Maria exclaiming, "come in." Doing as instructed, Megan strolled into the office. Looking up from her work, Maria smiled, "Megan, you're finished your first day here, how was it?" Megan motioned to a chair to which Maria said that she had forgotten to ask if she wanted to sit down. 

"It was a great day Maria, I really enjoyed it. I only had one issue in my classes, a boy named Colin made a snide remark about my attire so I gave him double homework." Maria shook her head, "sorry to hear that Megan, Colin is always like that, he's a very cheeky guy. I often have to reprimand him on his behaviour so in future take no notice of him. If he comes in tomorrow and behaves that way again, give him detention, and if he continues after that, I shall have no choice but to phone his parents." Megan nodded, "ok, perfect. I'll see you tomorrow."

That evening Megan was sitting at home by the fireside reading her book, she loved reading the novels of Agatha Christie, her particular favourite was Death on the Nile, with a mug of tea in her hand when she heard the doorbell ring. Standing up to answer it, she was surprised to see Jenna standing there. "Can you forgive a straggler Megan? I'm sorry I lashed out like that, it was a stressful day at work and I suppose I took out my anger on you, and you didn't deserve it." Putting down her tea on the kitchen table, Megan walked back over to the door and hugged Jenna, "No, but I can forgive my best friend and I'm sorry I reacted so badly. I shouldn't have spoke they way I did either. " Picking up her mug of tea, Megan followed Jenna into the living room. "Jenna, there's some leftovers in the fridge if you want some."

Waking up the following morning, Megan looked at herself in the mirror, today was her second day in her new career, and she felt very optimistic about it, the gleaming smile on her face told the entire picture. Megan knew that it was her destiny to be a teacher and after years of hard work and dedication, she had fulfilled her destiny. 

When she had showered, Megan walked over to her wardrobe. Looking through it, she picked out a pair of black slacks and a blazer and a white shirt. Megan decided that for once she was not going to wear a tie with her suit. Buttoning up her shirt, it felt so snug on her. Next came the slacks, and upon putting them on, Megan fastened her belt around them. Picking up the blazer, Megan put it on. Walking over to a box she had on her dresser, Megan opened it. "Hmm, I think I'll wear the pearls today, I haven't worn them in a while, and I think perhaps those drop earrings Mom bought me for my birthday last year." Leaving her top button open, Megan placed the pearls around her neck and then put in her earrings. Jenna walked into the room and looked at her with approval, "wow, you look great Megan, you go girl."

Upon arrival at the school, Megan walked to her classroom where she was met by a student waiting at her door. The student had tears rolling down her eyes, something was clearly bothering her. "Lily, what's the matter?" Lily, wiping the tears from her eyes, replied, "some of the girls have been spreading lies about me, and I'm getting bullied as a result, could I talk privately with you?" Opening her door, Megan replied, "sweetheart, of course you can. Come in and sit down." 

Sitting down at her desk, Megan handed Lily a chair. "Sit down and tell me everything Lily." After a couple of minutes, Lily had finished telling Megan the story. "They say those things about you? Lily, that's despicable behaviour. Lily, you are a beautiful young woman, you're smart, you're you, you're not them. I shall report this to the headmistress at once, and those girls shall face the consequences of their actions. If you ever want to chat, come by anytime." 

Later on that morning, Megan was teaching Lily's class when there was a knock on her door. "Ms. Silva, pardon me for interrupting your class, but I would like to speak with those girls you told me about this morning. They know who they are. Girls, follow me please, we're going to have a little chat in my office." Megan watched as the girls who had started the lies about Lily stood up and followed Maria out of the classroom, they knew they were in serious trouble.

After the class had finished, Megan and Lily made their way to Maria's office. "Come in" Maria exclaimed with a serious sound to her voice. Walking in, Megan and Lily sat down. Maria turned to the girls with outrage, "girls, I am astounded, if not furious that you have the gall to say those things about poor, sweet Lily, you do realise the troubles she has been through lately? Losing a father is never easy to deal with, believe me, I know. You shall all serve two weeks after-school detention." One of the girls spoke up, "but we'll miss the rehearsals for the talent show" to which Maria interjected angrily, "silence! In fact, for that outburst, you shall serve a month of after-school detention, you shall be starting this evening, and you shall report to the detention room every day after school and you will be properly dressed, that means tie pushed up to your collars, your top button closed and your blazers. Failure to uphold these requirements shall result in further trouble. Now, apologise to Lily and get out of my sight." The girls looked horrified but reluctantly accepted their punishment. Walking out, they all apologised profusely to Lily.

Turning to Lily, Maria exclaimed, "Lily, I'm so sorry that those girls acted that way, you were the victim of bullying which I have a zero tolerance for in this school. To make it up to you, and I know you are a very talented singer, you have automatic entry into the talent show when it comes around, it's the least Megan and I could do. No need to attend the rehearsals."

At the end of the school day, Megan walked to the detention room with Maria. Sitting down, Maria exclaimed, "girls, Ms. Silva and I shall be supervising you every evening. Now, first of all, smarten yourselves up this instant. Regarding your punishment, you shall all do your studies here. You are to arrive promptly every evening with all of your books and all of your pens and the like, you shall only be allowed to leave the room to use the bathroom, and this will be one at a time so that you cannot congregate in the hallway. You are forbidden to speak or interact with anyone in the room, this shall be two and a half hours of supervised, quiet study. You are also forbidden to eat, the only thing allowed is water. From time to time Ms. Silva and I shall come around to inspect your work. Now, get cracking." 

During the detention period, Megan and Maria strolled around the room on occasion examining the work, "excellent work girls, now, I want to see this behaviour every day after school for the next month. Once Christmas starts to roll around, you'll be going in the right direction and you shall all get superior grades. You'll be glad you served this detention period when you all get a vast improvement in your grades when the exams are starting." 

That evening when she got home, Megan began to sit by the fireside to read her novel. Coming out from her room, Jenna exclaimed, "you just home Megs? Bit late for a school day isn't it?" Megan placed her novel on the couch beside her, "yes, normally I'd have been home earlier but the headmistress asked me to help her supervise after school detention for a few girls who had been bullying a classmate. I've to do it for the next month, but it's not too bad, Maria promised me I'd get double pay for it. Tomorrow, however, I'll have to supervise it on my own, Maria and Laura, the deputy headmistress are going on a trip with the second years, so I've to supervise detention myself." While she mentioned this, Megan gulped slightly, it was a new experience, both helping supervise detention and now she had the chance to do it herself, but at least she knew she had comfort in that it'd be the same for the next month.

Is there any particular angle you guys want me to do in it or will I just keep writing it as I make it up?

Waking up the next morning, Megan walked over to her wardrobe and opened it to examine and choose what she would wear for the day. Going through each item, she pondered. Eventually she decided, "hmm, maybe the shirt fully buttoned, the collar up, the leather jacket and leather trousers that Jenna bought me when we went as the T-Birds from Grease last year for Louisa's hen night, and those long boots I have." Getting dressed, Megan looked at herself in the mirror and smiled with approval.

Arriving at the school, she made her way to her classroom. Sitting down, she turned on her computer. Scanning through various emails, she sighed, half of them were just unnecessary garbage, promotions for different shops and the like. Scanning further, she noticed that she had received an invitation to a very prestigious event, "I'll have to dress formally for that, I can't just show up in a pair of jeans and a Metallica t-shirt for example. I'm thinking that white pinstripe suit and a tie. If I'm invited, I have to make an effort to show why I was invited." She noticed Maria at the door, "come in." Walking in, Maria sat down, "Megan, as you know, Laura and I are going on the field trip today, and I have decided that you will be the headmistress for the day. Some of the other staff members thought so too, they see big potential for you. I like your outfit, very attractive indeed, but I'm not sure that some parents would be too approving of it. Perhaps tomorrow if you could wear something more formal, something they would approve of. I understand your situation, it's not easy to instantly adapt from college to a professional job." With a nod of her head, Megan replied, "that's understandable, I'm sorry if I caused you any embarrassment or trouble." Maria shook her head, "no, of course not. Anyways, Laura and I better get going, we'll be back tonight circa 7pm, good luck being in my boots today, you'll knock it out of the park."

Taking a few deep breaths, Megan knew she had to step up to the plate, she was in charge for the day, knowing that she could not let Maria down. Composing herself, Megan looked at her reflection on her phone camera and smiled, a smile brimming with confidence. 

At that moment, the bell rang to signify the start of the school day. Watching as her first class walked in, Megan exclaimed, "I am the headmistress for today, and I will not tolerate anyone misbehaving. You are here to learn, now let's get down to your English studies." A boy whispered to a classmate sitting next to him. Glaring at him, Megan spoke up, "Lucas, is there something you wish to share with the rest of the class? Go on, stand up, tell us what is so funny." The boy reluctantly stood up, "I was saying how boring this stuff is." Furious, Megan exclaimed, "well, young man, you are here to learn this stuff. Your parents do not pay money for you to sit here and make snide remarks. I don't care if you behave like this at home, but in my classroom, you will sit there and listen, now sit down." Sitting down, he muttered something under his breath. Upon hearing this, Megan's face went nearly scarlet with anger, "Excuse me? Care repeating that remark? Come on, I want to hear it." He grinned with a cheeky smile, "I said you're a worse teacher than Ms. Tyler, she actually did a good job." The scarlet face Megan had went a dark crimson, "Lucas, stand outside until the class is finished, and then I'll deal with you! Silence! Take that smirk off your face young man!" 

After class, Megan changed into her suit that she had bought with her in the car, a black jacket and trousers, a white and black striped shirt and a powder blue Gucci tie, and escorted Lucas to Maria's office. Sitting down, she exclaimed, "Lucas, you have been misbehaving and rude and disrespectful. I have no choice but to phone your parents and tell them of your antics because frankly I'm fed up with it." About ten minutes later, they were joined by Lucas's parents. His mother sat down, "You're Megan, the new teacher around here? I've heard Julie talking about you, she loves English and says your stuff is so cool. You're the headmistress for the day, best of luck. I'm Silvia, this is my husband Jonathan. I'm sorry for Lucas's behaviour, he's often like this at home too, he's often quite cheeky even to us, and he's been in trouble for this behaviour with Maria too". Megan shook her head, "I'm afraid I've no choice but to give him a week's suspension." 

Lucas smiled, "great." Glaring at him, all three of Megan, Silvia and Jonathan exclaimed, "Silence!". Silvia looked at him, "young man, this is the final straw, I'm giving your PS4 and all the games you have to Lizzie, it'll take a day or two to get to England. She knows someone who wants one but doesn't have the money. She'll keep it for them for Christmas. It's too late to make us change our minds, your father and I discussed it after your last incident. You will also be grounded for six months, and you will have a curfew which will be at 8pm every evening. Once you have eaten your dinner and you have completed your homework, you are to go to bed." 

Upon the conclusion of the meeting, Megan watched as Lucas walked out of the office with his parents. Observing her reflection in Maria's mirror, Megan exclaimed, "Christ, it's times like these that I'd nearly want a drink to settle my feelings." Returning to her classroom, Megan sat down in her chair. Suddenly, she burst into tears, she had been embarrassed, her day as headmistress was already off to a rocky start.

I was actually expecting lot of details in how she wears fully buttoned up with 2/3 buttons on the high 3" collar band with or no Leather jackets accompanied by Leather pants . May be she can wear it places other than the school, may be that can be her staple attire along with the suit and tie.

A couple of days later, Megan had decided to go shopping as she had the first mid-term break from school. Walking over to her wardrobe, she took out a black shirt with a leather jacket and matching pants. Buttoning up the shirt, it felt so snug when she buttoned it up without closing her top two buttons. Placing a pair of pearls around her neck, Megan watched in the mirror as she tried fidgeting with the clasp and after a minute or two she managed to successfully link it. Next came the leather trousers, which even though they were nearly skintight, they always looked so good, especially on Megan's hips. Lastly came her black Chelsea boots, zipping them up, they felt so supportive on her ankles. Looking at herself in the mirror one last time, Megan was in awe of the figure in the reflection.

When she had made it onto street level, Megan watched as people walked past her in all directions, it was certainly very busy as other people were rushing to work. After waiting what seemed like an eternity, Megan crossed the road and started to make her way down the street. Her first stop was to get a cup of coffee in her local barista. Upon walking in, she noticed a woman about the same age walking towards her, "excuse me, I couldn't help myself saying this, but you look gorgeous." Blushing slightly, Megan replied, "thanks, I normally wear a suit and tie, especially when I go to work. I dreaded the idea of wearing one at first, but after a day or two of trying them, it started to grow on me. I'm Megan." Shaking hands, the woman replied, "I'm Thalia, pleasure to meet you Megan." With a look of curiosity on her face, Megan exclaimed, "Thalia, this is strange considering I've literally just met you, but would you like to go out for dinner tonight? My roommate is away on holidays and I would love some company. You don't have to think of it as a date or anything. If you don't want to, that's okay." Nodding, Thalia replied, "sure, I just came off a bad breakup and I want to take my mind off it. I'd love it to call it a date, I haven't had a date in two years, my ex-boyfriend never once took me on a date. He only cared about himself. Here's my number, I better rush, see you tonight." Kissing Megan on the cheek, Thalia walked out of the shop and back onto the busy streets. 

Looking at her to do list on her phone, Megan typed in, 'buy a new suit for tonight'. Sitting down to drink her coffee and read more of Death on the Nile, Megan smiled, she loved to sit and read in her free time, she felt she could escape all her troubles by reading novels. Finishing her coffee, Megan stood up and walked over to the bin to dispose of the cup. After she had spent a couple of minutes standing on the bridge looking at the city view, Megan walked down the street towards her tailor, Hannah, whose shop Megan frequently visited. 

Upon entering the shop, she was greeted by two girls with tape measures draped over their shoulders. "Good morning, welcome, how may we be of assistance?" Megan looked around her, "I'm Megan, I'm a regular customer here." They were joined by Hannah a minute later who exclaimed, Megan! It's good to see you love, come in. Girls, this is Megan, she's often buying suits here, she's my best customer. Megan, these are my nieces, Anna and Saffron. They're here on work experience for two weeks so they asked if they could help in the shop. Megan, I've got a couple of new suits put away for you in the back, follow me." Accompanying Hannah into the back, Megan looked around her at all the various suits and ties that were hanging on numerous racks, they all looked so nice but Megan knew they were significantly more expensive than she would be able to afford. 

Eventually they stopped at a pair of mannequins that each had an expensive suit on it. One suit was a bright silver three piece suit with a matching silver tie, the other one was a navy suit with a white shirt and a tie adorned with a tie pin. Hannah noticed the look of awe on Megan's face, "stunning, aren't they? I got them from a tailor's I know in Spain. You can buy either one you wish, but may I make a suggestion? I think the silver is the nicer one, the navy suits are often worn, but you want something striking, something that makes people look at you with a look on their face that spells amazing." 

After a couple of minutes examining each one, Megan made her choice, she was going to wear the silver one. Taking the suit off the mannequin, Hannah walked out to the counter and returned a minute later with a bag in her hand. "There you go love, all packed up and ready to go. That'll be 100 quid, normally it'd be 150 for these ones, but seeing as your family has given me some great business over the last few years, I'm giving you 33 percent off. Lovely, thank you for your business Megan, enjoy your dinner date tonight love." 

Upon returning to her apartment, Megan sat down in a chair on the balcony and looked out at the world go by, the people on the streets looked as small as ants. Typing some emails, she finished about an hour later. Looking at her watch, it was ten to seven, her dinner date was at 7:30. "Time to get suited and booted, I can't let Thalia down and appear casually dressed." Taking the suit out of the bag, Megan put on the shirt first, the crisp material was so soft on her skin, that was always the hallmark of a good shirt she thought. Taking off her leather pants, she laid them properly on the bed. In their place she put on the silver trousers which she put a belt around her waist. Looking at them in the mirror, they felt very comfortable. Next came the tie. Placing it around her neck, Megan tied her tie in a Windsor knot, the first knot she had learned to do, and her particular favourite, she loved when she met someone and they wore their tie in a Windsor knot, it gave her a boost of self confidence. Straightening her tie, Megan picked up the waistcoat off the bed. Buttoning it, Megan looked in awe of herself, and felt even more so when she put on the jacket over it. Megan felt as if she was on top of the world and nobody could bring her down, nobody could disrupt her flow. "Now, the socks and shoes, hmm, I'm thinking the navy ones and the black loafers."
