I am late for about the gazillionth time this week. this morning its because slept through my alarm. My best friends poppy and Jules went ahead ages ago, when i declined the offer of them waiting for me,I decided there was no point in us all being late.Naomi, my personal head girl assistant, comes galloping into the room waving a letter in her hand, she is only a first year but she is very thoughtful and efficient. "Alicia! your late again! come on, miss landreth is getting rather agitated. however, I do have a letter from Louis...." I run and grab the letter from her small hand, "how exciting!"I exclaim , starting to rip open the top of the letter when Naomi buts in. "no Alicia! there isn't time to open it now, it will have to wait until later." I stare at the love letter longingly and then with a sigh, place it gently under my pillow. Naomi is already out of the door, so I catch her up, she guides me to art and then leaves for her own lesson. the whole class stares as I walk into the room, fifteen pairs of eyes, " I'm so sorry miss landreth-" I start, trying to think of a good reason why I am late when she stops me, "its okay Alicia" she says with an exasperated sigh, like she cant be bothered with my made up excuses any longer,"just go and sit down quickly." I run to my seat at the back of the classroom where poppy and jules are waiting, they give me funny looks but then we settle down to hear what we will be doing this lesson. "today we will be pairing up and drawing our parteners in an abstract, so if you could all chose partneRs then." some people go over to the table where the paper and pencils are, however a frenzy of girls comes running towards me, I couldnt hear what anyone was hearing. "alicia-alicia come with me-no me-mememe-alicia im your partner-" miss landreth walks over, "girls girls! you are ladies, not a bunch of baboons, today alicia will go with jules, poppy and maya, jenny can go with.. fern and sophia can be with hayley." poppys head starts to drop, I think I promised I would go with her today.
