大家一整個下午都在海灘渡過。Eliza 和蒂芬尼懶洋洋地躺在陽光下作日光浴，孝恩則是在溫暖的海水裡游泳。雖然海灘頗為擁擠，但是大夥找到了一處安靜的角落，可以一邊做日光浴、一邊聊天。傑佛瑞坐在一旁的躺椅上，看著最愛看的福爾摩斯系列小說。

The afternoon of the group of friends was spent entirely at the beach. Eliza and Tiffany lay cozily under the pleasant sunshine whilst Shaun swam in the warm sea water. Despite the beach being exceedingly crowded at that time of the day, they were fortunate enough to find a quiet spot where they could tan themselves and chat at the same time. Jeffrey, on the other hand, was sitting on a deckchair, drinking a cocktail and rereading one of his favourite novels – Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet.

大夥搭乘電梯抵達頂樓後，經理便帶著大家穿過直直的走廊，來到了第一間房間。金先生刷了一下房卡，房門就打開了。

「這裡是大家的房間，」金先生說。「大小姐，您專屬的房間在隔壁，是202號房。」

門打開後，映入眼簾的場景是一間寬敞的總統套房，裡面擺著兩張豪華的雙人床、一組舒適的沙發，以及一個超大的平面液晶電視。

「哇！這太讚了啦！」Eliza 迫不及待地跳到沙發上說。

「這張床好軟喔！好像躺在雲上。」傑佛瑞坐在床上說。

「喂，那個叫什麼名字的，那我的房間呢？」蒂芬尼說完後，轉身一望，赫然發現經理已經離開了，並將202號房的房卡放在一旁的桌子上。

「看來，蒂芬尼，妳被討厭囉！」Eliza 笑著說。

「哼～我要告訴我爸啦！」蒂芬尼生氣地說。

孝恩本來想告訴蒂芬尼他之前聽到經理用韓語說她的壞話，可是想想蒂芬尼可能會氣到爆炸，就還是算了。

 After arriving on the topmost floor of the hotel, the manager led the group of friends along a straight corridor with a terrace on one side. Approaching the first room on the corridor, Mr. Kim swiped the key card and opened the door for them. 

"This is your friends' room, miss," said Mr. Kim addressing Tiffany. "Your room is room 202, which is right next door."

As the door of the room opened, what came into view was a spacious presidential suite furnished with two luxurious double beds, a comfortable-looking sofa set, in front of which was a large flat-screen LED television. 

"OMG! This is amazing!" exclaimed Eliza as she sat down on the armchair and put her feet up. 

"Whoa, the bed is so soft it's like lying on a piece of cloud," exclaimed Jeffrey as he jumped onto the double bed closer to the door. 

"Well, technically, it's not possible to lie on a piece of cloud, as it's just precipitation of water vapour and....." Shaun was about to explain the science to his friend when he was interrupted by Tiffany. 

"Shut up, nerd! How dare you contradict ma dear Jeffie!" snapped Tiffany. "Jeffie, you're staying with me in my room! I'm sure it's gonna be even better than this! Mr. What's-your-name, show me my room!" As Tiffany turned around, she was appalled to discover that Mr. Kim had already disappeared without taking leave, placing the key card to room 202 on a small table beside the door. 

"Well, it looks like he barely met you for half an hour and he hates you a lot already, Tiffany," joked Eliza. 

"Imma tell my dad about this!" wailed Tiffany.

Shaun was about to recount what he heard Mr. Kim saying about Tiffany in Korean at the reception, but thought better of it lest Tiffany would explode with fury and commit a crime.

「想必您就是蒂芬尼大小姐吧！能遇到您真是我無比的榮幸！我是飯店經理～金先生！」飯店經理用著帶著濃濃地韓式腔調的英語對蒂芬尼說。「您長得跟您在社群網站上的相片一樣漂亮呢！不，應該是看起來更加美麗動人才對！」

「那是當然的囉！我可是天生麗質呢！」蒂芬尼撥弄著頭髮說。「我爸應該已經交代過了，我的朋友要在飯店住上幾晚。你幫他們安排好房間了嗎？」

「那是當然的！」經理答道。「我為大小姐的朋友們準備了全旅館最豪華、位在頂樓的VVIP總統套房。那裡有著大面的採光落地窗，可以將全釜山的風景盡收眼底，而且⋯⋯」

「那我的房間咧？準備好了嗎？」蒂芬尼還沒等經理說完便不耐煩地問道。

「是的，大小姐的房間也在頂樓！」金先生答道。

「都興武，你最好給我動作快點兒，別在那兒慢吞吞的！烏龜動作都比你快！你拿個行李需要花一整天嗎？」金先生用韓語大聲斥喝著新來的旅館門童。

「我很抱歉，大小姐您的行李很快就會為您送上樓！」經理轉身對蒂芬尼說。「那個新人啥事都不會，都要等我吼他才會動作！哎～現在的年輕人真是⋯⋯」

「天哪！這老闆真可怕！」Claire 對 Eliza 小聲地說。

「是啊！簡直就是黑心企業嘛！我突然覺得我打工的地方的老闆跟他比起來，簡直跟天使一樣！」Eliza 回應道。

 "You must be Ms. Tiffany! Extremely honoured to meet you. I am Mr. Kim, the manager of the hotel," said the hotel manager in English with a strong Korean accent as he approached Tiffany and her friends. "You look as beautiful as your social media profile photo! No, actually you look even prettier!" 

"Aw, thanks," answered Tiffany. "As my dad probably mentioned to you already, my friends will be staying at this hotel for a few days whilst visiting Busan. Have you prepared a room for them?"

"Of course, miss," replied the manager. "I have prepared the best VVIP suite in the entire hotel for your lovely friends. It is located on the topmost floor, with a magnificent scenery overlooking this amazing city. You can view the......"

"What about my room?" interrupted Tiffany. 

"Your room, Ms. Tiffany, is also situated on the topmost floor," responded Mr. Kim. 

"Do Hyun-Woo, hurry up with the luggage, you slow-poke! Are you going to take all day to take the luggage upstairs?" shouted Mr. Kim sternly in Korean at the poor bell boy, who had just finished unloading their luggage from the hotel bus. 

"I'm so sorry, miss," said the manager to Tiffany. "He is the new boy here and he doesn't know how to do nothing! He needs me to shout at him before he's willing to move his lazy ass."

"OMG, what a mean manager," whispered Claire to Eliza, whilst rolling her eyes. 

"I know right! I suddenly feel like my manager at my part-time job back home seems like an angel compared to this douchebag," responded Eliza.

經過了約莫12小時的飛行時間，大夥抵達了臺灣桃園國際機場轉機，前往韓國釜山。過了兩個多小時後，航班終於將落在釜山金海國際機場。

「我們要怎麼前往旅館啊？」Eliza 在提領行李時隨口問道。

「當然是旅館的巴士會來接我們啊！」蒂芬尼答道。

果不其然，大夥剛走出機場出境大廳的大門後，就看到了度假村的小巴士停在一旁。

「蒂芬尼大小姐，這邊請！」巴士的司機向他們揮了揮手喊道。司機先生趕緊幫大家把行李安置於後車廂內，並待大家逐一上車。

一個綿綿細雨的夏日午後，一群朋友們相約於倫敦希斯洛國際機場，準備出發前往韓國釜山度假。

「天哪！我等這假期等很久了！」Eliza說。「今年大學是最困難的一年。如果我不去渡個假，轉換一下心情，我可能都要被逼瘋了！」

「我舉雙手贊同！」和Eliza就讀同一所大學的Claire說。「真是太謝謝蒂芬尼了～邀請咱們去她家的海邊度假村度假。這將會是最棒的旅途了！」

「那是肯定的囉！」Claire和Eliza的高中同學～蒂芬尼回應道。「我們家的度假村可是全釜山最棒的！噢，對了！你們還記得娜英嗎？就是那個高中跟著父母回去韓國讀書的那個國中同學啊！聽說她家就住在釜山誒！」

「天哪，真假！？」Claire說。「那咱們可以去找她呀！可是，我對她沒啥印象。她是不是挺少說話的？」

「咦，奇怪了！我們的班機資訊怎麼沒有顯示出來啊？」傑佛瑞（Eliza的表哥）看著螢幕說。「這裡沒有前往釜山的航班呀！我們是不是搞錯時間啦？」

After 12 hours of flight to Taipei, the friends transited at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, took another 2-hour flight and eventually arrived at Busan Gimhae International Airport. 

"How are we gonna get to the hotel?" asked Eliza after collecting their luggage at the conveyor belt. 

"The hotel bus is coming to pick us up, of course," responded Tiffany. 

In fact, after leaving the airport terminal, they perceived a hotel bus parked on the side. 

"Ms. Tiffany!" exclaimed the chauffeur whilst waving his hand. The group of friends handed their baggage to the chauffeur, who helped to put them away at the back of the bus, and boarded the luxurious hotel bus.

 One rainy, summer afternoon, a group of friends met up at London Heathrow Airport, ready for their summer vacation trip to Busan, Korea. 

"OMG! I totally need a vacation!" exclaimed Eliza. "This has been by far the hardest year at uni, and if I don't take this opportunity to get some time out, I think I'm gonna get crushed by all this stress soon."

"Yeah, I can't agree more," answered Claire, who studied at the same university as Eliza. "Thank you so much, Tiffany, for inviting us over to stay at your seaside resort! It's gonna be the best trip ever!"

"I betcha it'll be!" responded Tiffany, Claire and Eliza's high school classmate. "Our resort is one of the best in Busan! Oh yeah, and d'you guys remember Na-Young? The Korean girl from KS4 who moved back to Korea with her parents in Year 12? She lives in Busan!"

"OMG, really?" cried Claire. "We can totally go visit her! Although I don't really remember her. She was always very quiet and seldom talked, right?" 

"Um, guys, are you sure you got our flight details right?" asked Jeffrey, Eliza's cousin, as he stared at the screen. "I don't see any flights to Busan."

那天晚上，魏老師正坐在客廳看書時，忽然聽見了從房間裡傳出了細小的聲音。

 

Playmobil Spies: 15 Again-13 (Final Ending)

 That evening, Ms. Verinder was sitting on the comfortable coach in her living room and reading a book when she suddenly heard a small sound in the little room where she brainwashed her students.

「嬌娃們，我來拯救妳們了！」湯姆從窗外跳進房間裡說。「看來，這次出任務時你們遇到了麻煩，無法順利完成。我來幫助你們了，我們一起抓住魏琳德吧！」

「你別靠近老師！」突然，Eliza 跳到了老師前面說。「魏老師是一位好老師。她並沒有做錯什麼。今天她就算有做錯，也都是為了她的學生著想！」

「Eliza，妳瘋了嗎？妳連你自己的任務都忘了嗎？」湯姆罵道。

「我才不管呢！」Eliza 喊道。「老師在我無助的時候給了我希望。她告訴我現在的困境都是因為當年會考沒考好造成的。她讓我有重新來過的機會。」

「Eliza，妳醒醒吧！時間是不可能倒轉的，人生亦無法重來。你現在應該學會活在當下，不要一直看著過去！」

「湯姆，你錯了！」突然，Claire 脫下頭盔，緩緩走向湯姆說。「人生是可以重來的！魏老師答應我們要幫助我們以15歲的身份重新考一次會考。考進好的高中，我們大學學測也會更好。如此一來，我們可以進更好的大學，讀我們想讀的系所。讓未來的道路變得更加寬廣。不會像我們現在一樣，都要畢業了，還是一片茫然。這都是因為當年忙著出任務，沒有好好學習的下場！」

「妳們別聽她胡扯，這怎麼可能⋯⋯」

"Spies, I've come to help you," said Tom as he jumped down from the windowsill. "It seems like the mission is too hard for you to complete on your own. Let's arrest Ms. Verinder together."

"Don't you dare come anywhere near her!" Suddenly, Eliza jumped in front of Tom, trying to protect the Maths teacher. 

"Eliza!? What are you talking about?" questioned the bewildered Tom.

"Ms. Verinder is such a good teacher, she hasn't done anything wrong," shouted Eliza. "Even if she has done something wrong, she has done it for the benefits of her students."

"Eliza, are you mad? You're supposed to help me. We represent the PMSSO, have you forgotten?" demanded Tom.

"I don't care," yelled Eliza. "Ms. Verinder has given me the hope of improving my current situation. She told me that the reason why I'm unsatisfied now was because I didn't do well enough in my GCSEs."

"What on earth are you talking about, Eliza?" retorted Tom. "You cannot possibly relive your life again. You only live once. When your chance is gone, it's gone forever. It's impossible to start all over again! You've got to learn to like and live with your current situation."

"You're wrong, Tom," said Claire, who took off the helmet and slowly walked towards her boss. "Ms. Verinder has promised us that she'll help us redo our GCSE qualifications as the identity of a 15-year-old. Then, we'll do better at our A-Levels, we'll then get into better universities, and lots more opportunities will be open to us than what we have right now. We're about to graduate, yet we still feel at a loss of our next steps. It was all because we didn't do so well back school."

"No, don't listen to her. She's lying to you, you cannot possibly......."

經過了一個晚上後，被關在魏琳德住處的 Claire 聽到了腳步聲。

「終於早上了！」Claire 心想。

「上學時間快到了！我給你兩個選項⋯⋯」魏老師說。

「什麼都不必說了！」Claire 答道。「我已經決定了⋯⋯Eliza 說得對！如果當年會考我考好一點兒，我今天的機會會截然不同。我離成功會更近一步。你可能真的在洗腦學生，可是，這又如何？您身為老師，希望自己的學生更好，助他們一臂之力，又有何不對？」

「妳終於想通了！」魏老師說。

「我決定以 Clara 的身份重讀國三，並且重新參加會考。我會比以前更加努力，讓那些曾經嘲笑過我的人瞅瞅我的厲害！」Claire 意志堅定地說。「魏老師，您願意幫我保守秘密嗎？」

「那是當然的！」魏老師說。「為人師長最感動的一幕就是如此，看到學生願意發憤圖強、努力向上。可是，你要怎麼跟總部說呢？」

「我會告訴他們我這麼做是為了監督您，」Claire 說。「如此一來，他們就不會懷疑了！」

Playmobil Spies: 15 Again-11

 After being stuck overnight in the transparent cage inside Ms. Verinder's apartment, Claire perceived Ms. Verinder's footsteps. 

"It's finally morning!" thought Claire as she gradually woke up from her sleep. 

"It's nearly time for me to head to school," said Ms. Verinder. "I give you two choices....."

"There's no need to say anymore," replied Claire. "I have decided.....Eliza is right. If I had done better in my GCSEs, I could have more opportunities now. I will be a step closer to being successful. You might be brainwashing students for your own research, but who cares? As long as you're helping your students thrive, which is the duty of a teacher, no one can condemn you to be immoral!"

"You have finally come to your senses, Claire," answered the maths teacher. 

"Yes, I have decided to redo my GCSEs using my current identity as Clara Lee, I will work harder than ever and show the people that have laughed at me what potential I can achieve," said Claire with determination. "Will you keep this secret for me and Eliza, Ms. V?"

"Yes, of course, Clara," responded Ms. Verinder. "It's always impressive as a teacher to see that your students are willing to work hard and improve. But what will you tell your boss and the headquarters?"

"I'll tell them that I'm doing this in order to spy on you," replied Claire. "That way, they won't become suspicious."

摩比嬌娃之重返15歲-10

隔天一早，Claire 和 Eliza 第一節課就考數學。考完後，魏老師叫大家互改考卷。大家改完後，這次打賭的贏家便揭曉了～Eliza 拿的分數竟然比 Claire 高出許多；Claire 則是低空略過，剛好及格。上完課後，魏老師走到 Claire 身邊問道：「Clara，妳現在好一點的嗎？頭還痛嗎？」

「已經不疼了！昨晚我回家吃了點兒感冒藥就好轉許多了！謝謝老師。」Claire 從容地答道。

「看來，你今天小考表現地不是太好喔！」魏老師看了看 Claire 的試卷說。

「我好像對一些概念還不太熟悉。我今天可以去上您的輔導課嗎？」Claire 問道。

「當然可以！」魏老師答道。「跟昨天同一個時間來吧！」

「老師，您的課輔好有幫助喔！我今天可以再去嗎？」Eliza 問道。

「可以啊！妳好學的精神真是可敬！」老師回應道。

 

Playmobil Spies: 15 Again-10

 As anticipated, Claire and Eliza had a Maths test in the first period of the following day. They were asked by Ms. Verinder to swap papers with the person sitting next to them, and mark each other's tests. 

After marking each other's paper, the winner of the bet was revealed. It turned out that Eliza got a score much higher than that of Claire, who had barely scraped a pass mark. 

After class, Ms. Verinder walked towards Claire and said. "Clara, how are you feeling right now? Do you still have a headache?"

"Um, no, miss. My headache has stopped after I've taken some medication as soon as I returned home," answered Claire.

"It seems like you haven't done so well in this morning's test," said the maths teacher as she glanced at Claire's mark. 

"No, I'm afraid I don't quite understand the concepts you taught in class," replied Claire. 

"Would you like to come to extra lessons today?" questioned Ms. Verinder.

"Yes, miss," responded Claire.

"Very well," said Ms. Verinder. "You should know the way by now. I will be expecting you at the same hour as yesterday."

"May I come again, miss?" queried Eliza. "Your lessons are so helpful."

"Of course you may, Lizzie," answered the maths teacher. "I am impressed by your studiousness."

Claire 從窗戶窺視到房間景象後，心想：「我得趕緊進去拯救 Eliza，否則她會被洗腦了！」

這時，房間的門被打開了。魏老師和 Eliza 一塊走出房間。

「Clara，輪到你囉！」魏老師說。

「老師，真⋯⋯真抱歉。我好像身體不太舒服。我頭好疼，然後感覺噁心想吐！」Claire 趕緊說。

「哦！是嗎？那妳得趕緊回家休息，輔導課下次再上也行！」魏老師答道。

「我可能是感冒了，那我這就回家休息！老師咱們明天見！」Claire 說完便拉著 Eliza 走出魏老師的住家。

 

Playmobil Spies: 15 Again-9

After perceiving the horrific scene inside Ms. Verinder's room, Claire was so shocked that she had to return to her seat on the coach. 

"What's that woman doing to Eliza?" thought Claire. "I have to go and save her before she got brainwashed."

Just when Claire summoned up her courage to stop Ms. Verinder, the door of the little room opened and Eliza walked out of the room followed by the maths teacher. 

"Clara, it's your turn," said Ms. Verinder.

"I'm so sorry, miss," replied Claire as her mind raced to think of an excuse to get both her and Eliza out of here before any more damage was done. "I....I don't feel very well. I have a horrible headache and I feel nauseous."

"Oh, do you?" answered Ms. Verinder, raising an eyebrow. "Well then, it seems like you're unfit for an extra lesson now."

"Yes, Ms. Verinder," responded Claire. "I'd better get home and take some medication immediately. I must have somehow caught a cold."

"Very well, then," said Ms. Verinder, looking unconvinced. "See you tomorrow, then."

"Goodbye Ms. Verinder," said Claire and Eliza as they walked out of the apartment.

 

摩比嬌娃之重返15歲-8

魏老師和馬莉安進去小房間一陣子後，嬌娃們決定去一探究竟。於是，兩人躡手躡腳地走到小房間的門前，發現門上有面玻璃窗戶。Eliza 從書包拿出鏡子，透過鏡子反射的倒影窺視到房內的景象。她們看見魏老師正坐在電腦前面瘋狂地打字。

「她在幹嘛呀？為什麼一直在打字？」Eliza 小聲地問道。

「這是數學課，又不是電腦課！」Claire 答道。

Playmobil Spies: 15 Again-8

After Marianne and Ms. Verinder had gone into the room for some time, the spies, unable to hide their curiosity, decided to peek in from the gap in the door. Thus, as quiet as a mouse, Claire and Eliza tiptoed towards the small room. Nevertheless, they discovered that the door was firmly closed. Luckily, there was a transparent window pane on the door, yet they dared not peek in from there lest they should be discovered by Ms. Verinder. 

"I have an idea!" whispered Eliza as she took out a mirror from her school bag. Using the refection of the mirror, the spies could just about make out the figure of Ms. Verinder standing in front of a computer, tapping away rigorously. 

"What's she doing tapping away on her computer?" queried Eliza.

"Wait, I thought this is a Maths lesson, not an ICT class!" whispered Claire, bewildered.

摩比嬌娃之重返15歲-7

下午上完了魏老師的數學課後，Claire 和 Eliza 被要求課後留下來。等到其他同學都離開教室後，魏老師說：「Clara、Lizzie，從今天的表現看來，妳們好像跟不太上班上的進度。」

「是啊，老師！感覺這兒教的數學比我們以前的學校還困難太多了。」就連以前高中數學不算差的 Claire 都完全跟不上進度。

「是的，我們學校是依能力分班，而這個班級是高段班，所以教的數學自然比一班國中會考的題目要稍微困難一些。」魏老師說。

「有什麼可以讓我們進步的方法嗎？」Eliza 問道。

「你們有兩個選項：一、降一階到中段班，妳們的程度在哪裡應該還算可以；二、我幫你們課後輔導。不需要額外收費，並且保證你們的成績突飛猛進。」魏老師露出詭異的笑容說。

「真假！？真的是免費的嗎？」Eliza 驚訝地說。

「是的！身為老師，我認為幫助我的學生、讓他們進步是我的職責。選日不如撞日，不如，你們今天放學後就直接來我家做課輔。馬莉安也會來，她知道路。不過，別忘了先跟你們家長說一聲，免得他們擔心！」

Playmobil Spies: 15 Again-7

After a terrible two-hour session of Maths with Ms. Verinder, in which Claire and Eliza, despite their age, could not keep up with the year 10 syllabus, they were asked to stay behind after class by Ms. Verinder. 

After everyone has left the classroom, Ms. Verinder sat down with the girls and said. "Clara, Lizzie, it seems like you two were having a hard time catching up with the class today." 

"Yes, Ms. Verinder. It seems like the syllabus here is much harder than what we did in our old school," replied Claire, who still struggled despite having done A-Level Maths. 

"Yes, the syllabus I teach here is much more advanced than the normal GCSE curriculum, as I wish my students to strive and challenge themselves," answered Ms. Verinder.

"Is it any way for us to improve?" enquired Eliza. 

"There are two routes, it's up to you," responded the maths teacher. "One way is for you to move to a lower set, where they will be teaching a simpler syllabus, more suitable for your level."

"What about the other route, miss?" questioned Claire, knowing what was coming next.

"Or, you can let me help you improve," smiled Ms. Verinder strangely. "In fact, I offer extra lessons that can help you boost your ability in a very short time."

"Is it going to be expensive, miss?" queried Eliza. "If so, I'll have to go home and talk to my parents about it."

"No, on the contrary, it will free of charge," replied Ms. Verinder with that weird smile again.

"Really? That seems too good to be true!" exclaimed Claire. 

"Yes, as a teacher, I feel that it is my duty to help my students when they're struggling in class," said Ms. V kindly. "Come with me to my apartment after school. Marianne will also be coming. But remember to let your parents know first, in case they think you're missing and start calling the police to look for you."

摩比嬌娃之重返15歲-6

上完工藝課後，來到了教娃們最喜歡的午飯時間。

「吃午餐最適合聊八卦了！咱們來問問大家對魏琳德的看法，」Claire 說。

在食堂排隊領餐時，她們發現班長馬莉安就排在前面。

「哈囉！你們就是 Clara 和 Lizzie，對吧？我是班長馬莉安。魏老師叫我下課帶你們到處走走，認識環境。妳們還好嗎？一切都還習慣嗎？」

「目前為止都還不錯！上工藝課時咱們坐的位置離太遠了，都沒法兒好好聊天。」Claire 答道。

「下一節是化學課，我旁邊有空位，妳們可以來坐我旁邊啊！」馬莉安說。「對了，你們可能不還知道化學教室在哪。不如，吃完午餐後我帶你們去？」

「好啊！蛤～下一節是化學課，我好擔心喔！」Eliza 說。「我國二化學就上得不好，我真搞不動那些什麼元素。」

「沒關係，妳不懂的可以隨時問我！」馬莉安說。

「妳化學很好嗎？妳好厲害喔！」Eliza 說。

「其實也沒有啦！只是我爸媽都是科學研究員，所以對我的理化成績特別地要求。其實，我本身也不是特別喜歡理化。哎～要是理化老師教得有魏老師這麼好就好了！」

「魏老師？妳是指咱們班導嗎？」Claire 問道。

「是呀！她是教數學的！」馬莉安說。

「可她看起來好兇喔！我們今天上自習課時偷聊天就被她抓到了啦！妳為什麼覺得她教得特別好啊？」Eliza 問說。

「她都會免費幫我們做課後輔導！」馬莉安答道。

「課後輔導？」Claire 和 Eliza 互看了一眼後說。「不過，數學這種東西懂就是懂，不懂就是不懂。我覺得課後輔導好像也沒啥多大的意義。不是像史地這樣可以用背的。」

「我懂你的意思，可是，魏老師的課就是不一樣！」馬莉安猶豫了一下後說。「有點難解釋，不過，總覺得她的輔導課比在學校的課能學到更多。等到妳上完妳就知道了。她規定我們班每個人都要去上她的課輔。上過課輔後，大家都進步地好快。就連之前數學成績吊車尾的大明上次考試都拿90幾分。」

 

Playmobil Spies: 15 Again-6

 After a double period of DT class, it was finally the spies' favourite time at school - lunch time! 

"This is the time to ask around and see what people think about Ms. Verinder," whispered Claire as they are queuing to get their lunch in the canteen. 

Suddenly they discovered that the class representative in the student council, who name was Marianne, was queuing up in front of them. 

"Oh, hey! You are Clara and Lizzie, right?" said Marianne. "I'm Marianne, the student council representative of our class. Ms. Verinder asked me to be your buddy and show you around the school. How's everything going so far for you? Have you made any friends yet?"

"Everything's great, thanks," responded Claire politely. "It's a shame that you weren't in DT class with us. We didn't know anyone in that class - most of them seem not to be in our form."

"Yeah, year 10 is weird - we all do different subjects for GCSE, so it's hard to meet people in your form during normal lessons, except for PSHE," answered Marianne. 

"What subject do you do in that block?" enquired Eliza.

"I chose chemistry," answered Marianne. "But all the stuff on organic chemistry is so complicated I almost wish I've chosen DT instead."

"Science was my worst subject in KS3, so I'm only doing a combined science," said Claire. "You must be very interested in the subject to take chemistry."

"To be honest, I'm not a fan of science either," responded Marianne. "But my parents are both scientists, so they forced to me take all three sciences. I'm not sure whether I'll be able to cope though. It's only been 3 months since the start of term and I already feel like I'm struggling. I wish the science teachers were as good at teaching as Ms. Verinder."

"Ms. Verinder? Do you mean our form tutor?" enquired Eliza, pretending to act confused.

"Yeah, she teaches maths and she's such a good teacher," said Marianne.

"She seems so strict, though. She caught me chatting when we were supposed to be talking about alcohol and drug abuse and she literally glared at me," said Eliza as she shuddered. "What makes you think she's a good teacher?"

"She gives us extra lessons outside of class time," answered Marianne. "And for free as well."

"What's the point of extra classes though?" queried Claire as she exchanged a knowing glance with Eliza. "Surely, it's just the same thing she said in class but said again? I feel that maths isn't something you'll do well in if you listen to the teacher over and over again. If you don't get it, you won't get it no matter how many times you listen to the explanation. Whereas for history, if you hear something again and again, it actually helps you to memorise things."

"I see what you're saying, but.....it's different with Ms. Verinder," said Marianne hesitantly. 

"How do you mean?" questioned Claire.

"Well, it's hard to explain. She seems to be so much better at teaching in her private lessons than in school," replied Marianne. "You'll know what I'm saying after you've had a lesson with her. Everyone in the class have been to her extra lessons and everyone improved so much you wouldn't believe it! Even Ben, the worst student in the class got an A in his last test."

"Wow! It seems like magic!" exclaimed Eliza.

經過了一番折騰後，嬌娃們終於熬到第一節下課了。

「天哪！那女人真的超可怕！她的眼神太有殺氣了！」Eliza 在走出教室後，小聲地和 Claire 說老師的壞話。

「就是說呀！幸好今天下午才有數學課，咱們還有一些時間好好考慮要怎麼對付她。」Claire 回答說

「我們可以用午休時間問問其他學生對她的看法。」Eliza 說。

「嗯，咱們可以先問問那個班長馬莉安，說不定她知道些什麼。」Claire 說。

「好主意！對了，我們下一節是什麼課？」Eliza 問道。

「工藝。」Claire 瞄了一眼課表後說。

「天哪！該不會工藝老師還是傅老師吧！糟了，如果是他一定會認出我們的！」Eliza 突然想到說。

「沒事兒！他都這麼老了，肯定退休了！」Claire 肯定地說。

 After pretending to talk about alcohol and drug abuse for two periods, it was finally break time for Claire and Eliza. 

"OMG! I swear, that woman is crazy," whispered Eliza after they stepped out of the classroom and made sure that Ms. Verinder was out of ear shot. "Her stare was so penetrating that she totally saw through me!"

"I know right!" responded Claire. "It was so noisy in the classroom, how did she know we weren't talking about relevant stuff. I mean.....it's not like we looked like we were chatting at all, we were pro at this at school, remember?"

Eliza shuddered as she remembered the piercing look of Ms. Verinder. "That woman isn't someone we can fool around with," said Eliza thoughtfully. "We gotta be careful lest she'll see through our tricks."

"Luckily, we don't have her lessons until this afternoon," replied Claire. "We'll have plenty of time to think of how to deal with her in the meantime."

"We have to use lunchtime to ask around to see what the students think of her," said Eliza. 

"We can start with that girl whose name is Marianne," said Claire. "From the way she looks at Ms. Verinder when her name was called, I can sense that she knows something."

"Great idea! Oh, by the way, what do we have next?" asked Eliza.

"DT," replied Claire after glancing at her timetable.

"OMG! Don't tell me the DT teacher is still Mr. Pratt!" exclaimed Eliza suddenly. "I bet he's gonna recognise us if he sees us!"

"Don't worry," responded Claire. "It's been such a long time since he was our DT teacher, he's probably retired by now."

進入校園後，嬌娃們很快地找到了自己的班級。級任老師魏琳德看到嬌娃們說：「妳們應該就是轉學生 Clara 和 Lizzie 吧？我是你們的班導魏老師。歡迎來到我們班。」

「老師，對不起，我們來的時候迷路了，所以遲到了！」Eliza 無辜地說。

「沒關係！下面兩堂課是自習課，剛好給你們一點兒時間熟悉一下教室及同學。」魏琳德說完後，拍了一下手吸引全班同學的注意。「各位同學，站在前面的是這學期的新轉學生～Clara 和 Lizzie。我希望你們用最誠摯的心情歡迎她們。馬莉安，身為班長，妳要負責利用下課時間帶這兩位新同學認識校園環境，知道嗎？」

「是，老師。」馬莉安說。

「好啦！Clara 和 Lizzie，妳們兩個去那邊兩個空著的座位坐好，我們要開始上課了。這週的自習課，我們要先來開班會，檢討一下上週的整潔及秩序的表現，以及訂定這週的班級目標⋯⋯」老師說。

 

Playmobil Spies: 15 Again-4

On entering the school building, it didn't take the spies long to locate their form room - 10V, of which the form tutor was no other than Miss Verinder! 

The spies were just in time to arrive in their classroom just before the end of the registration. Luckily, it was Monday, so the class was going to have PSHE, which meant that they would be staying in their form room for the next two classes.

"Ah, there you are!" exclaimed Miss Verinder on seeing her two new students. 

"Is this 10V, miss?" enquired Claire, who pretended to have got lost on the way.

"Yes, you must be Clara and Lizzie!" responded Miss Verinder. "I am Ms. Verinder. Welcome to class 10V!"

"We're so sorry for being late, miss. We got lost on the way here," said Eliza innocently.

"No worries! We have PSHE for the next two periods, which will give you some time to familiarise yourselves with your form room and get to know some people in your form," elucidated Ms. Verinder, who clapped her hands to attract the attention of her students. "Students, this is Clara and Lizzie - two new students that will be joining us this semester. I hope you will make yourselves hospitable to our newcomers. Marianne, as our class representative in the student council, you are in charge of taking Clara and Lizzie around the school to familiarise themselves, understand?" Miss Verinder said as she glanced sharply at a brunette girl.

"Yes, miss," answered Marianne.

"Good! Clara and Lizzie, please go and sit down at the two empty seats over there," continued Miss Verinder pointing at an empty table at the back of the classroom. "The bell has just rung. So, now, we will start PSHE. This week, our topic will be about alcohol and drug abuse. Before we start, I would like you to start brainstorming in groups of two on everything you can think of surrounding this topic. You can include anything relevant, including what you've learnt in KS3.........."

「我已經幫你們都安排好了，並且通知學校會有兩名新學生。」湯姆說。

於是，當天早上，嬌娃們便出發去上學了。

「天哪！回到之前讀過的初中覺得好怪喔！」Claire 在路上說。「畢竟咱們畢業也快8年了！」

「真假！？有這麼久啦！我怎麼突然覺得自己好老喔！」Eliza 答道。

「不知道學校大樓會不會有什麼改變？」Claire 說。

「不管有沒有變，都很詭異吧！」Eliza 回答道。「如果環境沒變，曾經的同學和老師都不在了，感覺也怪怪的。如果環境都改變了，那根本和另一所學校沒兩樣嘛！」

「對啊！而且我們還得假裝我們是新同學！」Claire 說。

「糟了！如果以前的老師認出我們該怎麼辦哪？」Eliza 說。

「估計是不會！」Claire 答道。「我知道我以前絕對不會穿這樣去學校！」

「哈哈～妳說得對！」Eliza 笑道。「我是說⋯⋯我這身打扮也太詭異了吧！」

兩人走了一陣子後，Eliza 打破沉默說：「我有點怕怕的誒！我是說⋯⋯我好久沒寫數學、做科學實驗和畫畫了！我怕我會比那些國中生還笨了啦！」

「別擔心！」Claire 回答說。「咱們再怎樣也比那些小屁孩兒聰明的！他們比咱們小好幾歲，而且別忘了咱們還是大學生呢！」

「嗯！而且，如果我們很優秀，說不定還顯得太突兀了！」Eliza 答道。
