There were 6 of them versus me. The girls were more of the 'verbal vermin' and the boys were the beaters. The girls were wearing their diamanté chokers and their 4 inch heels. How did they walk in those shoes? I tried but I failed badly and ended up in hospital for a week; at least I missed school. The boys were in their low-cut jeans and wearing their flat caps.

"It wasn't me. It was Kayla." Ms. Egg knows me really well so I was hoping she wouldn't be sucked in by anymore of their lies but then I heard, "I'm sorry Geneva. Kayla! You have got detention."
