Discovered

 

                As Mrs. Samuels heels clicked along the quarter I cringed knowing I would be leaving the room with new bruises hidden beneath my uniform. As she entered the room I focused on my shoes; black, shinny, and about 2 sizes too small. Suddenly she was upon me, as usual I zoned out, nodding and saying yes mam’ when appropriate.

 

                “Ms. Parker are you even listening to me?” Mrs. Samuels shrieked “Ms. Parker! Pay attention to me whilst I’m talking to you”

 

I snapped out of my trance just as a hand came down across my face.  I suddenly noticed Mrs. Samuels with her hands on her hips, not a good sign.

 

I stared blankly at her as she leaned in closer to me.  “Ms. Parker for the past few months I have been very tolerate of your shenanigans, but this, this is too far.” She whispered in my ear “May I ask when it has ever been okay for you or anyone to sneak off campus? As your head master it is my duty and my right to now of your where abouts at ALL times.” She leaned closer still, “Felicity, answer me now or I will have no choice but to expel you” she spoke slowly now “Tell.me.where.you.were.now”

 

“sorry no can do” I say over my shoulder as I sprinted out the door. Before I knew it I was out the door and over the wall. 20 minutes later I was standing at the entrance of Bayer Manor where I collapsed into a heap and cried for hours eventually the sun went down and I started to shiver, then I felt a hand on my shoulder, and a calm, deep, low voice as I stood and turned to get a better view of the stranger my head suddenly started pounding then everything went dark.
