The Arabella Conundrum

Part Two- The UN Peace Keeping Envoy

I had finally managed to corner my stubborn French teacher, well now ex French teacher. He agreed to allow me to drop the subject. For some reason the school had a compulsory requirement of learning a foreign language, although they kept failing to remember I was already fluent in five languages and pretty fluent in quite a few others. God that sounded a bit pretentious. Anyway he was refusing to allow me to drop French unless I asked him in French, which was a little harsh since for some reason I could never get my head around French and could literally only speak hello and goodbye. So with my extremely resourceful skills I found a way to tell him in French. I'm pretty sure I hadn't said half of it right but I think he was just glad he didn't have me harassing him any more.

The first few lessons of the day just flew by and soon enough I was sat inside the sixth form common room. Somebody had put the TV channel on faintly and I was waiting for my lunch.

"CATCH!" yelled a voice as a tuna wrap was thrown in my face. I scowled up at the perpetrator who had a head full of dirty blonde hair.

"You Idiot OLLIE!" I looked down at my jumper and school skirt in search of any fish.

"Well get your own lunch next time" he dismissed and fell onto the couch next to me. I took a huge bite out of my wrap and Ollie was chewing on whatever he had got himself when we both heard Uptown Funk come on in the background. We both simultaneously turned our heads towards each other.

"THE SONG" He spluttered through his mouthful of food. His eyes lit up and presumably mine did too. He ran towards the TV and turned the volume up. I grabbed a hold of his extended hand and got onto my feet. We both started to dance and sing but when the chorus started we turned towards each other and started to shake our heads.

"STOP" We both held up our hands. "WAIT A MINUTE" We both then held up our wrists, pointing to our watches. "FILL MY CUP PUT DOWN LIQUOR IN IT". We then mimed filling up a cup.  Ollie took up his part by doing the slow walking that Bruno Mars does in the video, whilst I did the "do do do" following behind him. When the climax of the song came we got a little over excited "CAUSE UPTOWN FUNK GONNA GIVE IT TO YOU". 

We were both getting stared at by our peers but they never said anything, they were used to us by now. There was a playlist of about 15 songs that we had choreographed and would break out into song and dance when we heard the music. I was shaking my head and waving my pointer finger at him when I heard a loud throat clear. We both abruptly stopped and slowly turned our heads to the door. Mr Whitehall stood there amusement etched on his face.

"And this is why I never come in this room" He stated shaking his head.

"Why Sir, I'm awfully offended by that" Ollie stated jokingly. Just as he said that the door on the opposite side burst open and a black haired girl came jumping in.

"I'M TOO HOT, HOT DAMN!!!" Lily all but screamed but abruptly stopped when she saw nobody else was singing or dancing and that the principal was there. Ollie grabbed the remote and quickly turned down the music.

"Oh hey there" She casually said giving a little wave, not fooling anybody, leaning against the door frame. "Let me try that again" She then proceeded to step outside the room, close the door, and then open it again. That ladies and gentleman is my other best friend.

"Hello everybody, just thought I would pop in as you do in a totally non singing way" She stated unfazed by the whole commotion.

"Slick" I whispered but she heard and glared towards me.

"Smooth" Ollie added in a hushed voice.

"Hello Lilian" Mr Whitehall said and then he cleared his throat again.
