On my own-lewis Hamilton

Chapter 17

I finally had to go back to school after not being in for nearly 2 weeks. I was getting ready in my room doing my hair in a half up half down and I put a black bow in to match my uniform. I finished up my makeup as I grabbed my school bag ready to leave.

I felt like a new kid on there first day of school. I felt anxious again, everyone knew about the race it was still all over the news and it wasn't something that was going to be forgotten so easily.

I stand by the door as I grab my coat since it's about 2 degrees outside. "Bye dad, love you" I shout as I'm about to leave the house.

I see him walk towards the door as I'm leaving.
"Do you want me to drive you? It's freezing out there" he says while grabbing his car keys.

"No it's ok I don't mind walking" I say while opening the door.

"Ok only if you're sure" he says surprised by my answer. "Love you, hope you have a good day"

I finally arrive at school a few minutes before lessons started. It felt weird, like everyone was watching me with every step I did. I could feel rumours were definitely going around about me and my dad.

"Emma! Your finally back I've missed you so much" I hear Chloe say as she runs up and hugs me.

I could feel everyone still watching us as I notice more people are looking at me. I hate it why can't people just leave me alone.

I hear the bell go as people start heading to lessons. I had maths first but luckily Chloe was in my class so I wasn't alone.

"Guess we better head to maths" I say to Chloe as she nods in response

"Also Emma by the way I'm really sorry to what happened to your dad on the weekend. He didn't deserve it"

"It's ok" I sigh "I just hope people just don't keep on talking about it" I say annoyed

"I get that but just ignore them if they do" she says while smiling at me.

I was sitting in maths bored as hell. I couldn't concentrate on anything and i had missed so many lessons I didn't even understand what we were doing.

I heard a knock on the door as I slightly glanced over as I saw our head of year standing there.

"Can I borrow Emma please?" She asked my maths teacher while smiling at me

I sigh as I get up out my seat and walk over to the door. I was dreading what she was about to say I've not been on the best terms with the recently with being suspended and getting constantly in trouble.

I ended up following her all the way to her office. I was really not in the mood for a long conversation today I was to tired.

"I just wanted to check up on you and check how you are doing because a lot has happened the last few weeks" she says

"Um I'm fine I guess" I say confused, like when has the school ever cared about it how I was feeling and even if something was wrong I wouldn't tell her because it would just get spread around

"Ok you sure? A lot happened on the weekend and I know people are still talking about it and there's a lot of rumours and things going around."

"Yeah I'm sure I'm fine" I say annoyed

"Ok I just wanted to check but you know u can always talk to any teachers here. Anyway go back to lessons"

I nod as I walk out her office and slowly wonder back to maths. I was so confused I was literally fine I don't know why people have to make stuff into a bigger deal than it is.
