Arabella:
"Arabella, I'm so sick of this. You've been suspended so many times, you're going to get expelled soon" my mum is trying not to yell as she picks me up from my fifth suspension this year. I roll my eyes as she continues to ramble on, not paying attention to what she is saying. She snaps her fingers infront of my face.
"What?"
"Did you hear me?" I shake my head, and she groans. "You're future is not very bright if you end up getting kicked out of high school" She is constantly telling me to pick up my act or I won't have a future. As soon as we get home i storm into my room and call my best friend, Zena. She has no idea I have been suspended, so I should probably explain to her that I wont be at school for the next few weeks.
"What? No! Bella, ill be alone!"
"I'm sorry Z, you'll be fine. Just do whatever you've done in the past"
"What i've done in the past is be alone. It's not fun. What did you do, anyway?"
"Some little prude bitch caught me smoking in the bathroom and told a teacher" I tell her as I grab my cigarettes and lighter, preparing to go outside for another. I hear Zena huff loudly into the phone.
"Again? Bella, you got suspended just cause you couldnt contain your addiction for another hour?"
"Sorry" I sing, not really meaning it. I jump when my mum barges into my room with my dad, neither of them looking very happy. I take the initiative to hang up the phone. "Z? I'll calm you back in a minute"
"Living room, now." My mum sternly demands, hands on her hips. I follow them down the stairs to the living room, plopping down on the coach opposite the ones my parents were sat at. "Arabella, we have discussed the issue of you constantly being suspended."
"And we've made a decision that we think would benefit you greatly." my dad hands me a sheet of paper when he finishes. I read it over and give them a look of disbelief.
"Reform school?"
