Story of a young girl

Chapter .5.

Chapter 5

 

School again hurray! Those words do not belong in the same sentence. Only my second day but I had enjoyed not having to get up early for two days, well kind of early. Ethan took me out running on Sunday too; I now officially hate that sport!

I really didn't want to go. The only way to get out of going to school would be to get hurt. Mother doesn't believe me when I'm sick.

I looked around the hall and decided the only way to do it right would be to fall over the stairs banister and onto the downstairs floor. But since I didn't want to get killed I hatched a new Idea.

I quietly ran down the stairs, picked up a small table and chucked it to the ground. Then I laid down on the floor and started screaming. After five minutes of fake sobbing I stood up and wondered why no one had come to see what had happened.

I walked into the kitchen and mother was sat at the table drinking her coffee.

"Why did no one come and see what had just happened I've just fallen over the banister!" I fake cried.

"You tried this on the first day of 5th grade. I know all your tricks." My mother smugly smiled at me.

I grabbed my bag and just before I left the room I gave her the evil-eye, causing her to laugh.

“Perfect timing.” Alisa said as I met her at the bottom of my drive. “But we are really late for school.”

I checked my watch and sure enough it said half past eight, and it took us about ten minutes to walk to school, so ten minutes late. Great!

“Want to have an early P.E lesson?” I started jogging and Alisa caught up with us. We ran straight past Lee, but he caught up to us.

“Why are you running?” It had been five minutes I think I should stop now, don’t want to walk into school looking like there was just a huge storm outside.

“We were going to be late.” Alisa said panting.

“You can stop now; we’re just around the corner from school. You two are ridiculous.” He laughed.

“Hey, Alisa, slow down!” I heard Cody call from behind us.

“Just keep walking. Just keep walking” I said under my breath to Alisa and Lee. But she grabbed Alisa.

“Why were you avoiding me all weekend?” Cody sounded genuinely hurt.

“Because you’re mean, you hurt people’s feelings then laugh at them when they cry. Then you act all innocent like nothing had happened, just because your dad is principal. Well next year in high school you’ve got no one.” Wow, I’ve never seen Alisa like this. Cody walked over to me and came right up in my face.

“You are dealing with the wrong person, playing my best friend against me. Who do you think you are?”

“I think I’m Zoe Hanson.” I know I wasn’t meant to answer the question, but that’s just me.

“No! You’re the new girl; no one is supposed to be friends with you yet. You’re meant to work your way up the school food chain, not start somewhere in the middle!” Cody scoffed and walked away. That girl really had it in for me.

“Just ignore her, she feels proud of herself but she hasn’t really done anything.” Lee said leading me and Alisa to the front doors of the school. Day two in hell.

The day had gone well until lunch time. Me and Alisa had gotten our trays of food and were now looking for a place to sit. There were some empty seats and just before we were about to sit in them Cody came with her crew of other ‘popular’ kids.
