~Hi! Just wanted to say that I don't know how to add cast members >< can anyone help please :3 ~
Gwendolyn's POV:
I first felt it on Monday, during lunch time at school. It was a feeling like you are on a roller coaster, when its on the highest place of the ride and goes down really fast. It only lasted like two seconds but it was enough to make me drop my plate with the macaroni and red sauce on my school uniform.
"Well, at least you don't have to eat it now... It was disgusting anyway" my best friend Leasley said, while was trying to clean up the mess I made. Of course, everyone was staring at me by now.
"Awe, is little Gwennie playing with her food again?" Ugh, that's Synthia Deille... "Just don't sit next to me Gwen"
"I wouldn't sit next to you, even if it was the only seat left in the cafeteria Syn."
I sassed back. Well, to speak the truth I'm pretty clumsy... Last week I slipped and my salad flied across the room and landed on a professors head. And the week before that, I spilled the orange juice I was drinking on my shirt. And the week before... Well you got what I mean.
But this was the first time I felt dizzy... Maybe it was just my imagination. For the last months dizziness was all my family talked for.
Not for mine though, but for my cousin's, the perfect and beautiful and much better than me Charlotte.
The whole family was waiting when Charlotte will get dizzy. Some days my grandma was asking her every 10 minutes if she felt something. And in between aunt Glenda, Charlotte's mother, was asking the same thing!
And every time Charlotte would answer negatively they both sighed.
The rest of us (my mom, my sister Caroline, my brother Nick and my other aunt Maddie) were just rolling our eyes. Of course it was fascinating to have in our family someone with the gene of a time traveler, but as the years pass it gets boring. I was so tired of all the attention around Charlotte's face.
Charlotte though made sure to hide her emotions behind her mysterious 'Mona Lisa' like smile. If I were her, I wouldn't know if I should be happy or mad that I haven't felt dizzy. Well, to be honest I'd probably be happy...I'm more of the easily scared kind of person.
"Sooner or later it will happen" that's what my grandma was saying all the time... "And then we need to be ready." And indeed , the time did come, after lunch, at history class with Mr. Wittman.
He gave us the history tests we wrote last week. "It seems like you were all well prepared. Especially Charlotte, you got 20/20!"
Charlotte put a strand of her long wavy red hair behind her ear and acted surprised, even though every time she got the best marks in the whole classroom.
But Leasley and I were happy with our mark too. We both got an 18/20, even though the 'good preparation' was to watch the movie 'Elisabeth' with Kate Blancet on DVD, while eating chips and ice cream. But I have to say that we were always paying attention at Mr. Wittman's class, something that unfortunately wasn't happening to the rest of our classes too...
Mr. Wittman's class was just so interesting, you couldn't not pay attention. Mr. Wittman himself was an interesting man. Most of the girls in our class were secretly (or not so secretly) in love with him. Same thing with Mrs. Caunter, our geography teacher. Each time Mr. Wittman is passing by her, she blushes like crazy and looks like a tomato. He was of course really handsome, as for this we all agreed. Well, all except Leasley. She believes that Mr. Wittman looks like... A squirrel.
"Each time he looks at me with those big brown eyes I want to give him hazelnuts!" That's what she always says. She sometimes was calling the squirrels in the park 'Mr. Wittmans'.
Because of this squirrel-Wittman story, Leasley and I were the only girls in the classroom who are not madly in love with the guy. I had tried for the opposite ( that's because each and every boy in our classroom is completely immature), but I couldn't! I mean, who can seriously have feelings for a squirrel?!
Synthia once said that Mr. Wittman was a model before he became a teacher, and to prove it she took a picture of an advertisement which had a man who looked a bit with Mr. Wittman. No one believed that though... You see, that man had a dimple on his chin, and Mr. Wittman hasn't got one.
The boys in our classroom didn't think Mr. Wittman was so fascinating. Especially Gordon Geldertman hated him. Before Mr. Wittman came to our school, every girl was in love with Gordon. I was too, to be honest, but then I was just 10 years old and Gordon was... Cute. Now that he is 16 he is just an idiot.
Gordon was very mad cause he got a 7/20 at the history test. "You just don't like me Mr. Wittman, I should at least take a 16/20. You only did that because I'm not a girl."
Mr. Wittman took the test from Gordon and read out loud "Elisabeth the 1st was so ugly that she couldn't find a man to marry. That's why everyone called her 'ugly virgin'."
The whole classroom started laughing. "So what? It's true!" Gordon said. "With those big creepy eyes, the crooked smile and the weird hairstyle!" Mr. Wittman had asked us to carefully examine the paintings in a school trip we went. The truth is that the Elisabeth in the paintings didn't look like the Elisabeth me and Leasley watched in the movie. But then again, at this time maybe the girls with thin lips and huge noses were considered attractive. Plus her clothing was amazing (~or maybe amazayn? Sorry, keep reading~). My thoughts were interrupted by Mr. Wittman talking. "She was actually calling herself 'the virgin queen' because..." He stopped talking and looked over at Charlotte. "Charlotte are you feeling okay? Do you have a headache?" Everyone turned their attention to Charlotte, who was holding her head, resting her elbows on her lap. "It's just.. I'm feeling dizzy." She looked over at me "everything is spinning."
