Alarm Bells

The seagulls became quite fascinating after I'd been watching them fly backwards and forwards across the sky for the past hour, they were so free, could go wherever they wanted whenever they wanted.

I turned to Millie.

"This is so much better than being stuck in that dull old classroom, ent it?"

"Isn't it." I rolled my eyes at her, she always thought she was so clever when she did that.

I saw a long, narrow,dark shadow approach us. No, two shadows.

"I recognise you, you're from maths right?"

"Yep, and I have been for the last three years,"

He looked at his friend,

"For the last three years!" He said in a posh accent.

"Anyway, me and Sam were wondering if you would like to play tag with us?" I looked at Millie in despair, she saw my reluctance and immediately grinned.

"Yes, we would love to."

For the next hour all we did was run along the sea front like idiots unlike any sort of tag I had ever played, anyhow, I dare-say it was quite fun.

About an hour had passed before we all stopped and looked back. We all looked at each other in anguish.

"I don't suppose any of you to know where  we are, do you?"

We shook our heads. His face suddenly went a deathly pale, then one by one we all realised we were lost in the part of the beach no one came. Cut off from civilisation.

"Here there's one of those panic phones that automatically sends out a search party when you use it,"

We all sighed, forgetting how much trouble we knew we would be  into.

"H-Hello? We're stuck on the old part of the beach,"

Surely, that wasn't it's name.

"Could you please send out a search party?" He trembled, then put down the phone.

We all just stared at him.Astounded.

"Well that's gonna help them find us isn't it?!"

But Sam wasn't listening, no, he was staring at something in the distance...
