Back in the dormitory I shower and get into my pyjamas. I sort out my school bag. Charlie says I will have loads of tests my first day. I start to worry. I hug my old bear Jumble close and sleep.
That morning I get dressed very quickly, Charlie laughs. She says I look to smart. So to please her I pull my skirt up so it's short, roll my shirt sleeves up, put pin badges on my green blazer, made my tie short and put a little plait in my ponytail and added a cute scrunchie.
My new class consists of 24 girls. They stare at me, not quite taking my new appearance, they all saw me last night, but then I had a French Braid and smart uniform. Mrs Shaw smiles at me, "You must be Bluebell Cane, you will sit next to Charlie and Kate" I slide in to the seat between the two girls, Kate has long curly hair. She is in the room next to ours.
In maths I am given a test paper to do. I finnish it in half an hour, then I get given a long sheet of equations. In history we learn the order of the English monarchs. After break its Science I do yet another test, then in French I learn tenses, after lunch it is games. We play netball and hockey, I score three goals in hockey and four in netball. Miss Hearst is bursting with praise.
Then lessons are finished, we complete our homework for our lessons in our rooms. Kate joins me and Charlie, after our homework is done Kate says she needs to give something to her sister in year six.
I sleep much easier that night. But then I wake with a start. There was a knocking at my door. I open it, Snow hurls herself at me. Apparently she can't sleep so I come along and tuck her up and read her a story. On my way out someone catches me, Seraphina! She hisses at "What are you doing get back to your room." I blink "What are YOU doing here? I'm going to tell Mrs Shaw" I don't normally snitch but Seraphina is an exceptional case. She pinches me, I push her and she pushes me so hard I topple down the stairs. Everything goes black.
