Chapter 44

"At least he didn't do anything too eccentric," I wince. "Although, he did cause a lot of damage." I point to the shattered vases on the floor, and also the parts of red wallpaper that he managed to tear off while spinning around.

For the entirety of school the next day, it was filled with constant exams. It seemed as if the teachers all had conspired with each other, and nobody was happy about it. Students complained as they passed through the halls, and the unlucky ones that had unfortunately been caught by Ms Gob were all sent to detention.

At lunch, Claudia decided to leave us alone so she could cram for her upcoming exam. She dragged along Aileen, and also Dixie with her - but from what I heard from Claudia's rants on twitter, they aren't helping that much.

"NO COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING ALL OF OUR EXAMS IN THE SAME DAY!" Ms Gob screeched at the top of her lungs as we students scurried off to their next class. "WE WORKED SO HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAD THEM ON THE SAME DAY- I MEAN WE WORKED VERY HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT IT ALL WORKED OUT! WE JUST WANT OUR STUDENTS TO BE HAPPY!"

I know Ms Gob was really nice to me a couple of weeks ago, but it's very obvious that she and the staff had planned this to make us suffer. It's probably because of what happened at the assembly last week. A student suddenly stood up and started singing a botched version of 'Silent night' and completely changed the lyrics. Funnily enough, a lot of students were actually in on it and decided to join.

Mrs Child, the cafeteria lady got offended because she's actually Christian and demanded that everyone would get suspended. When the principal, Ms Wickham refused, Mrs Child told the staff to punish the whole school - or she'd round up her kitchen staff and go around causing mayhem.

That reminds me, how haven't they been fired yet? I am certainly sure that going around physically assaulting, and humiliating students is against the law. I don't really think that it matters what relationship Katheryne and the kitchen staff have with the principal, but it's only just my thoughts.

Katheryne, also still likes me. I haven't gone vegan yet, but for the sake of protection, whenever I'm around her I always make the effort to eat a vegan lunch. I once saw her outside of school while Claudia and I were shopping for groceries, and when she asked me angrily why we were buying milk - Claudia covered for me and said that we were making a birthday cake for my mum.

This isn't entirely false, though. Her birthday is coming up soon, but she doesn't really like cake that much. But Katheryne won't know that.

"WHY THE FUCK AREN'T YOU VEGAN YET!" She'd remark everyday whenever she encountered a kid in our cafeteria not being vegan. In order to avoid her insults, and violent acts, half of the kids have actually gone vegan at our school. She hosts a vegan declaration celebration because of this.

Her vegan declaration parties at lunch literally involve shoving vegan food into student's mouths, and then forcing them to sing with her. I'm honestly glad I haven't gotten roped into that yet.

"What do you think that you got in that maths exam?" I asked everybody. Emily groaned, Lorelei shrugged while Alice, Aubrey and Abigail got to snigger about how they didn't even take the test. But then Emily reminded them that they were in the extra-support maths class, and their celebratory mood was ruined.

"Hey, you guys..." Lorelei suddenly says, "I have an idea... Listen, so my dad recently just got a membership at this camping company and for the holidays - I was thinking that we could all go on a camping trip or something. Just us, my dad will be busy with work. It's alright if none of you know how to do camping, because I do."

"Hmm..." Alice thinks for a moment, bringing her hand to her chin. "Well, I'd love to but I don't exactly fancy the idea of sleeping in a bag on the ground."

Lorelei scowls, hitting Alice in the stomach. Alice's eyes go wide, as she goes onto her knees on the cement. She makes a strained cry, and is hurled up on the ground for the remainder of our conversation.

"Yeah," Emily grins, "I'd love to come!"

She hooks hands with Lorelei, and they happily look at the rest of the group.

"Just as long as there is wifi," Aubrey shrugs.

"That's not the point of camping-"

"It's alright," Emily quietly mumbles to Lorelei. "If none of them want to come, we can both just go together!"

"Hey, who said that I didn't want to go?" Aubrey rebukes, "I just wanted to know if there was any wifi. That's all, I can't live more than three minutes without my daily dose of Levi Ackerman."

"I'll come!" Abigail adds in.

Emily narrows her eyes onto her. Then says, with a commanding tone: "You better not talk about Harry Potter. Because if you ruin this trip for me and my future girlfrie- I mean, my best friend... I will personally snap your bones in half."

"Wow, that is so mean."

"I'll come as well!" Jolene remarks, smiling. "It'd be cool to hang out with you over the holidays, do you have a day? And also, will we have to go there by ourselves or will you-"

"Guys, chill," Lorelei says. She removes Emily's arm from her arm, which causes Emily to sigh. "We'll provide transportation, or in other words... The state will, we can just take a train there and walk to the campsite. It's only a two hour hike, so it isn't that bad. I'm thinking about next week, and it'll only be for two nights." Aubrey raises her hand, and Lorelei rolls her eyes. "Yes, there will be wifi. Do not worry."

"Are there bathrooms? Will we have to do our business in... A drop toilet?"

"Abigail, there is a bathroom. We will have to cook our own food, but if you all listen to my instructions I'm sure everything will go well."
