7 Parts Of A Circle

Revealed- Eliza

He stares down at us scowling. Something inside him had finally snapped and he officially hated us.
"I see you've found out who I really am!" He begins clearing his throat.
We make no response and stare strait on.
"Well who's going to tell me who told you!?" He asked playfully smirking slightly.
No one responds.
"Alicia...who told you?!" He asks pretending to be curious.
"The funny thing is," Alicia says through gritted teeth. "That you're pretending you don't know!"
He stares back faking badly to be astonished.
"I wouldn't pay much more for those acting classes!" Emelia adds.
"So you girls know then?!" He asks.
No one replies.
"WELL?!" He yells staring into Tara's face.
"Can you not?" Tara replies making no eye contact.

That's when I realise Natalia stroll up to his desk, followed by Ali. Alicia suddenly scrapes everything off his desk and climbs onto it.
"What are you doing?!" He snaps running over to them.
"What you deserve!" She screams whilst kicking a few remaining pots of the table.
"Get down!" He yells again as soon as Natalia gets on top as well.
They stand there without movement and stare down at him.
"Intimidated yet?" Taylor questions.
He snaps his head around to us looks at Taylor.
"What?!" He growls marching over to her.
He raises his clenched fist but a knock on the door prevents him from any further action.

"Come in!" He says with a change of tone in his voice.
And then enters another hated face. Emelia gags for a joke as they look at each other like love sick puppies.
"Can you tell us if you're going to make out?" Tara interrupts their moment.
We watch them take a step back from each other and Miss Lion clears her throat.
"Oh just leave!" Principal Levre shouts pointing from the door.
"I thought you hadn't finished abu-"
"Oh shut up you little twat!" He yells at Alicia.

We all stand there for a moment and watch. He turns around and realises our figures still standing around the room.
"OUT!" He screams and shoves a few of us out.

Once outside his office everyone walks away and I pretend to follow behind them. We all reach the steps and as soon as I'm out of sight is dash back towards his office.
I lower my head and a creep under the window in his door. I slide down the wall.

For a while I hear mumbles and a few squeals, yet nothing was clear enough. I crawled to the door and pressed my ear to the door. At last I could hear something.

But somehow I wish I hadn't, as soon as I heard what I did I stopped breathing for a short moment.
We were what? We were all what? Our circle was what? What?
I sit perched by the door and listen in for a few more moments with my mouth hanging open. I couldn't believe it the first time but as soon as everything was repeated I was astonished.

'Those seven were chosen when they were born and there's no going back we can't stop it unless they've been separated for over a week'

The words replay in my head and I perch there breathless for a at least five minutes. A week? It hasn't even been two days! We've been together at certain parts and there's no way they could separate us now. I had to tell the others.

But the only things stopping me were my weakening knees. Suddenly they go numb and I topple over and head-butt the door. A bang echoes through the halls and I bite my tongue to avoid making any other noise. I hear footsteps through the floorboards approaching the door making me scramble to my feet.

I rush up a few more steps and hide behind and corner, still able to see the door clearly. Then the door bursts open and Miss Lion steps out in a dramatic attitude.
"And by the way Anthony," she says his name cold and begins again. "If you don't sort this out we are done!"
She turns her back on him and storms my way in a huff.

When she passes my corner I hold my breath and wait for her to leave. But she stops. I shut my left eye and my right eye stays wide open watching her every moment, every breath. I see her slowly turn around but I get to my feet and stumble down the stairs.

I make no sound but my hands are secretly burning and I feel dizzy for a few moments.
"Hello?" Miss Lion says timidly.
I bite my lip trying not to laugh at her fear of me.
I crawl over to another corner and sit against the wall for a moment.

A few moments later I hear Miss Lions footsteps go in the other direction and I involuntarily let out a breath which felt had been stuck in me for a year. And then I just sit there and take everything in. The fact that for once I wasn't just a nobody relieved me...I was special...I was something and I couldn't wait to tell the others!
