The whole Jessica and Alan thing doesnt happen in my high school. We dont work by the freshman, senior method (British schooling is first,second,third,fourth,fifth,lower sixth and upper sixth. Yes i know its confusing) But girls still dont go with guys in a lower year, the reverse happens, hell my best friend is going with a girl a year below him but the girl is never older here.
I definately think Alan needs a girlfriend though (or boyfriend, he may start resenting women, who knows?). Cant wait for the next chapter to see how this ends.
