I sit in my spot alone. For a moment I take in the calm winds and sit under the tree we all seemed to worship for its shelter during the rainy seasons. I breathe in casually and try to act as normal as possible. I didn't feel at all nervous, I was overly excited and couldn't contain my passion for finally sorting things.

"Hey!" A voice excitedly yelps tapping me on the shoulder.
The voice was My twin who was now heaving herself into the ground beside me.
"Hi!" I reply.
"Do you know what we are gonna do when we all get here?" She asks curiously.
I shrug and brush away her questions. She knew I was mad at her.
"Look Tara!" She exclaims.
"What's going on?" Another voice asks with an edge to her voice.

We suddenly move our heads to notice Emelia standing fiercely behind us.
"Nothing!" We say together.
"Don't lie to me guys!" She says back icily.
Taylor sighs and raises her left eyebrow at me. I take a breath and begin to tell her.

I mention the other week when we got trapped in the park and Taylor dragged us into as much possible trouble. And not only the trouble of just a member of the school but, of course, the Principal. I'd recognised him from the first sight at the podium. And ever since I'd had never been able to look at Taylor the same way. The way I saw her scream until her throat went weird. The way she kicked the gates and started causing damage to the park. I just sat there and begged for her to shut up and she didn't listen. She overreacted.

By the end of the story everyone was in their places. They were all astonished. They stare at Taylor for a while and her face turns pale. Guilt floods through my veins. I bite my lip hard before finally I speak up.
"I think I was too harsh on her though!" I try to say firmly but my voice wobbles.
" you don't have to say that!" Taylor insists looking at me.
I stare at her blue eyes gleam tiredly at me and I begin to feel the guilt weighing me down.
"I do Taylor, we need to move on!" I declare and pull her in for a hug.
The others let out a breath of relief and I laugh to myself for a moment.

"So now what?" Eliza finally asks after sitting for moments in silence.
And then that's when it happens.
Natalie and Alicia pull out air horns and Jessica grabs the speaker from behind her.

Simultaneously Natalia and Alicia blow the air horns and the school fills with a loud screeching sensation.
I cover my ears like Taylor, Eliza and Emelia.
"ATTENTION EVERYONE!" Yells Jessica through speaker phone.
"EVERYONE APPOINT TO THE FIELD IMMEDIATELY!" She yells again starting to make her way round the library.
Natalia and Alicia continue to blow the air horns and the sounds begin to make my ears ring. Yet despite it all u let out a laugh as soon as student begin to flood out of the school buildings.
"Now it's your turn!" Alicia nudges me and Taylor and point to the podium.
I stare at Taylor and nod.

We dash onto the field and reach the podium and are followed by the others!
We hear confuse menu through the crowd but still try to carry on.
"Excuse me!" Taylor says through the microphone.
We have no response. I stare at Natalia and she passes me the air horn.
I press it against the microphone and let the noise burst out through the speakers.
I hear screams but everyone finally faces out way with shock in their faces.

"Hi I'm Tara!" I say and smile at the crowd.
"We'd like to tell you something!" Taylor screams through the microphone.
"We know something about the Principal we'd like to share!" I burst out and we hear gasps in the crowd.
"He's not actually Principal-"
Yet before anything could happen a hand clasps over Taylor's mouth.
We turn around and notice the towering figure above us was Principal Levre.

He switches off the microphone and smirks.
"Well played girls, but not now...not ever!" He growls tugging me from the podium.
I stare at Jessica and she opens her mouth to speak. Yet before and words are let out of her mouth the speakerphone is removed from her hands.
"My office!" He yells and grabs my wrist.

He shoves us forward and we are all shoved away....!
