"Mica, Come on! Mama Said you can't be late again or else you'll end up out of school!" Paloma came rushing into Mika's room as he stood there In shock still trying to make light of his situation.


"Whats up with you? Are you thinking about the bullies again? Just tell your teacher, I'm sure she'll understand." A young looking Paloma smiled as she threw Mikas backpack at him, the bag hit his head, Making him wobble slightly. "Have you tried sleeping?" Paloma laughed as she walked out mika's room and shut his door heavily. The bang from the door broke Mika away from his disbelief.


"Something to wear, what would 8 year old me wear?" Mika began hunting round the room to find some clothes. "I remember, French school, No official uniform, Just a bow-tie and a fancy shirt an trousers!" Mika picked up a bow-tie that was stuffed under his bed and smiled. "Lets go!"


"MICA COME ON!" Paloma shouted about 5 minutes later. Mika looked in the mirror at The reflection beaming back at him. He straightened his bow-tie and flicked his hair back and walked out His room.


"This is a very strange dream." Mika Mumbled.


"What? Also you're talkative, Whats with the strong accent?" Paloma greeted Mika on the stairs as she buttoned up her coat, walked down the stairs and dragged mika out the front door with her. "c'mon!" Paloma pushed her brother.


Mika stood in awe, this really was South Kensington In the early 90s, The clothing, the cars, the people. How could his brain possibly imagine this in a dream? His sister Looked exactly like she did 30 years before!


His Mother was still alive.


After a 10 minute speed walk through the streets of London The brother and sister arrived at the doors of The French Lycée, A place that over the following 30 years of his life he had grown to despise. He shut his eyes in a desperate attempt to wake up from the nightmare he was about to endure to no avail.


"Mica, Move! We're already late!" Paloma Tugged Mika's arm as he stood infront of the large building as pale as a ghost.

"It'll be ok." Mika huffed.
