All By Myself

The Unexpected Visit

The weekend with the Alphelions were fine. We spent hours and hours doing work or reading. Her parents are tough!

Today was a school day again and Charmaine wasn't at school today. I wonder why. She didn't tell me that she's going on an unexpected holiday today. Maybe she's sick, I am not sure.

I caught up with Maya and Maxine, we have PE together today.

"Where's Charmaine?" Maya asked, "She's never absent."

We were dressed in gym shorts and a T-shirt in our indoor gym. We were still gathering students, it's not easy to have to classes come together. Our coach isn't here yet so everyone was sitting on the floor gathering.

"I don't know, I was at her house for the weekends, she didn't tell me anything about going on a spontaneous trip or anything I answered."

We sat down chattering about different things. Our coach finally came.

"Hello everyone, form a line right here, we are going outside today to Jog around the school." Coach Abram said.

We formed a line towards the door. We jogged around the school grounds in the hot burning sun. It was a great time. Coach Abram to me looks like The Hobbit. He's short and stalky and always wear sports clothes even though it wasn't sports day. He has bright red hair and always wore a baseball cap. He is also a jokester. When we were running, he made jokes about different things that made the class sometimes paralyzed with laughter. He's a great man and one of my favourite teachers. Most students hate sports class but with my coach, I guarantee sports is going to be one of your favourite subjects. I love sports, swimming, writing, chemistry and physics. I hate math.

We played a fun game called The Zombie Apocalypse. There are two groups, the doctors and the zombies. There are 3 safe zones in the foot ball field. The two goals and the middle circle on the field. The goal of this game is for the doctors from the two safe zones, take turns to deliver medicine which are the cones to each safe zone. When we deliver the medicine, we have to avoid the zombies that are chasing us. Charmaine is very good at the game along with Maxine. It's one of our favourite games to play in PE.

After half an hour of playing it, we had break and I was alone again. Maya and Maxine went to their common room and I didn't know what to do so I took a book and went to my common room as well. When I approached it, I realized the bullies were in there. I tried to get out of the room as fast as I could before they caught my sight but I was too late.

"Well, well well, look who we have here, Muted Stella." Fiona said as I tried to get out of the door. "No no, you aren't going to get out!"

"Leave me alone please." I whispered.

"What's that your holding?" Elise snatched my book from me.

"The Legend of The Frogs? Haha, those books are for geeks." She chuckled before throwing my book across the room.

"Give it back!" I yelled. Charmaine got that for me and I am not going to let anyone ruin it.

"No, I am not until we make a deal." Hilary walked around me.

"You have to do our homework for the next"Manir was cut when the Headmistress walked into the common room.

I was stunned and stared down at Headmistress Laurene. She was dressed in a long black dress with a leather suit jacket and black high heels. Her hair was tied neatly into a bun and she was peering from and small round glasses.

"Yes Ms. Matil?" Headmistress Laurene glared at her.

"Nothing Headmistress." Manir stepped back.

"I thought so." Headmistress snapped.

"Ms. Davids follow me please." She called out for me.

"Yes mam" I said following her out of the common room. I heard cold whispered from the back of my head. I saw stares from people around the hall.

When Headmistress walked through the bustling hallway, it became dead silence. I got stares from people.

Am I in trouble? What did I do? Is this anything about Charmaine?
