He was coming home

4

The bell rings, was that the bell or is my mind playing tricks on me, I'm going with that I am free for the next half an hour

"So, what happens now?" Nathan asks me, I forgot about him and I look at him like he's weird

"We have recess now, like normal people do" I reply and he shrugs

"At my old school it was later" he mumbles

"So you remember where the canteen is?" I ask him and he nods

"Good, you can go alone then" I tell him and start to walk off in the direction of the toilets, that's when I remember I didn't show him where they are, oops

Once I'm finished checking my hair and stuff, I walk towards the canteen, to find that Nathan already has his place on the popular table, I guess I was wrong about him being different though he doesn't seem very happy about it

Wonder why, everyone wants to be popular

I sit down at my usual table that's secluded from the rest so no one bothers me

My phone beeps and I see its a text from Charlie

Want to hang out after school today?

I grin and write back saying yes

And then my phone beeps again and it's Charlie

We'll go to the ice cream shop and the park

I smile happily and wrote back: okay, promise?

I promise

I turn my phone off just in case a teacher turns up, even though they never come this way

And the bell rings for class and I stand up and head for my locker, I forgot to show Nathan where the lockers are, oh well

"Hey" someone says behind me and I turn to see Nathan

"Hello"

"Do you know where my locker is?" He asks me

"What's the number?" I ask him sighing

"89" he tells me, that's next to Kelly's locker, she ain't getting out of this

"It's down the hall, and on the right" I tell him shutting my locker and he nods and goes that way

I look at my timetable to see that I have double languages

Yay

"Hello Mira" Madame Tory greets me as I walk in

"Bonjour Madame Tory" I say back and sit down, in the corner back seat, I feel like I've forgotten something

"Today we will be having the unit test, so please separate" Madame tells us, that's what I forgot, I haven't studied for it

"You may start once you get your paper, remember to put your name on it" she tells us, handing out the papers

I'm good at French, I can do this

"Spider!" I shriek jumping out of my seat and everyone starts screaming and panicking, I can't believe they actually fell for it and then I notice the really bog spider and I point to it, and then I recognise it, as the Sydney funnel web, it's venomous or poisonous, whatever it's called

I look around the room, to see that Madame Tory has left, probably to get someone to remove the spider

"What type of spider is it?" Someone yells over the screaming

"Sydney funnel web!" I yell back and the screams get louder

"Alright! Everyone remain calm" a man yells and everyone calms down a tiny bit
