Autumn's POV

_______________________

Tom, my faithful stalker, locked me out of school.

No point in waiting for someone to open up, they won't. Not with me on the other side.

I hope Yvonne is suspended, or better yet, expelled.

But knowing her, she will somehow manage to wriggle her way out of a tricky situation like this.

I rubbed the ends of my newly-cut hair.

A few loose strands fell off in my hand. I curled my fingers around them tightly.

I doubt dad would be able to get out of work now, to come and pick me up, and the chances of bumping into Ellen again are very low.

I could borrow a bike from the bike lock-up.

But that would mean committing crime, and I doubt they would let me leave England and move to Australia tomorrow if I did that.

I stood up and fixed my bag tightly over my shoulders and started walking into the shopping square.

I could stay there until my bus arrived in the afternoon, and catch it home like nothing ever happened.

The shopping centre is full of clothes shops, food shops, heatlth food shops, and just low price budget shops that I usually got things from.

I walked directly into McDonalds, and into the little playground they have at the back for the little kids.

I climbed inside the tube for the slide, sat down, and opened up my school laptop, the one I was meant to hand in today.

I opened up the email system and selected some contacts:

Topic: thank you

Message:

Hello all,

It was my final day at Marches High today, and I just want to say 'thank you' for making it the most horrible experience of my life.

Since grade school, for some of you, you have made my life an utter misery.

Well guess what, I don't have to deal with you and your angry issues any longer...I'm moving to the sunny bliss of Australia.

Thank you again,

Autumn McKenna

I paused for a second, before adding with a smile,

P.S, Katie, Joe is a rather good shag, isn't he?

I clicked the send button, and it felt like a massive weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

Katie would kill me, if she could lay her hands on me.

But she can't, because guess what, I'm going to Australia!

I closed my computer, lay back on the slide.

Suddenly I heard a noise;

"Mummy, catch me! I'm going down the slide!" And then it was shortly followed by a 'thump'.

A little kid was coming down the slide, and going to land on me.

I grabbed my bag and computer, jumping out of the slide's entrance, just as a little kid started coming down.

I moved out of the way in perfect timing, because as soon as I moved out of the entrance, the little kid appeared.

As if by magic.
