After the fire, everyone had to meet outside in our forms. Charlotte, Katie and 27 other people were in my line. The teachers were calling the registers, and soon the fire brigade came. It was all very exciting, but rather depressing at the same time. As we watched our school burn to the ground, the fire raged on, and the firemen did their best to put it out. After about 3 hours, it was all gone. As everybody, started talking and getting their phones out, and taking videos and pictures. We were told the coaches would come to pick us up, and we would be sent an email about what to do, but in the meantime, we should just stay home. We waited at the bus stop for a while for the coach to come, when finally it did. Chatting we got on the bus, and nobody noticed the driver. Except me. I noticed. It was one of the men. Dressed in black, with dark red eyes. And he was muttering something under his breath, something I couldn't understand. Suddenly, my eyes widened in realisation. The dream. I had been having little flashbacks throughout the week. I squeezed my eyes shut, shook my head, and picked my arm, just to be safe, and when I opened my eyes again, he was gone.
"Lilly?" Someone called out. "Lilly, are you alright? You just stood there for exactly 1.37490927 seconds, we got worried!" I turned around, an it was another girl from my year, Rosie.
"No, I'm fine, Rosie," I replied. "I just thought that I saw something. It's nothing. Never mind."
"Ok. If you're sure, then," I walked towards the back of my bus, and sat in the back row, containing Katie, Rosie, Charlotte and Poppy, so I sat in between Katie and Charlotte. We had a long ride home, and at last we arrived home. I walked away from  the bus stop,when suddenly, I heard someone calling my name. I turned around, and noticed it was MPS (My Personal Stalkers) Ollie, Jaden, Patrick and Teddy. I didn't want to talk to them, so I pulled out my earphones and started to listen to music. But they just kept on following me, all the way home. When I finally did reach my house, Teddy said
"God, you're so rude! Why aren't you talking to us?"
Of course I ignored that one. As I pulled out my keys, they turned around and left, so I walked inside, greeted my mum and got some toast.
"Hey, how was your day?" She asked my, sitting down.
It was............ meh. I guess," I replied quietly, spreading some honey on my toast.
"Meh? Really? That's the best you can do?"
"Fine then! It was good! It was great! Whatever! I'm going upstairs to do my homework," I stated, getting up, picking my plate up and storming to my room.
