I finally got to sleep, after I got use to Al talking.

I awake with a jump.
"Oh no." I say.
"Yep today is the day." Al says. I sigh.
"But first I had life lesson."
"Oooo ouch, that's bad."
"Yeah I know, two dramatic lessons in one day!" I chuckle. Al laughs.
I clamber out of bed and put my uniform on. Then I make my way down to the main hall for breakfast. I open the door and all the noise nearly knocks me back. I walk in, grab a plate and sit on an empty table. Tim sits down next to me.
"Hey." I yawn. He grunts, it's to early. Al and Chloe say hi. After what feels like ten minutes, the bell goes.
"YEY life lesson." I joke sarcastically. Tim giggles.
"Good morning sleepy head!" I say to him. he giggles more. I smile.
We make our way to life lesson, and stand outside the door. It opens and we walk in, only four of us in this lesson, me, Tim and two others. we sit down in the harnesses and the helmet is put on. The scene begins again. The first sight of them all sat at the table makes me cry, 'I wish I was with them, I wish they were alive.' I think.
'They are." Al's voice says.
'Your in my mind?!' I think.
'Yes'
'Oh. what do you mean the are still here?'
'They are in your heart and you think about them a lot. You had a close relationship with your da didn't you.'
'Yeah' a tear falls down my face.
The story is played back, I cry and cry.
BEEP BEEP BEEP.
Finally the bell goes. The helmets are removed and I run to Tim. He hugs me, tight.
"Please can you stay behind Kit." the man says. I nod and Tim walks out.
The man pushes me against the wall.
"I've had enough of your crying." he says and hits me. I smile.
"What do you find so funny?" He shouts.
"You don't know who I am, do you." I laugh. He takes a step back and folds his arms.
"Your Kit Herboin your fifteen years old and your a Spider." he says then smirks.
I rub me thumb and index finger together, "Does the name 'the evil one' sound familiar to you?" I say then click me fingers. A ball of light appears. The mans face falls, he runs and hides under his desk.
"Oh so it does." I smile, then I realise what I'm doing, I run to the door with tears streaming down my face. I brace myself for the bullies, then open the door.

It's very quiet, only a few people are whispering.

I'm puzzled, Tim nods to look behind me. The TV screen shows, what happened to me and my reaction when I'm reminded. When I look at it the part where Lori gets shot comes on. My heart breaks again and I fall down to my nee's, sobbing. I hear lots people beginning to cry. Then it gets to the part where I turn around to see 'Mr Johnson'. Lots of people gasp and some people shout 'you bugger'.
Al's voice perks up in my head again.
'I though if people saw, they might stop bulling you. I'm sorry please don't be mad at me.' he says.
'Why would I be mad with you,' I think 'you helped.'
I hear the bangs of the gun HE fires. Tears now rushing over my face both in the screen and in reality.

Silence falls.
