Milo ran down the stairs, and for the first time ever, the girls didn't laugh or comment. He reached the bottom of the stairs and started frantically searching for the culprit. Everyone else looked around too, but except for the giant squad there was no one else in school. At least, that was what they thought until the lift opened. And there was no one else but Miss Greenway, followed closely by Mr Payne and Miss Holstead. They laughed a very sinister laugh and turned to face the squad.
"ah, hello my dear Chilton students! How's our learning going?"
"it's going great!" Mary said cheerfully. "we've learnt how to kill zombies and how to get on with cool kids and.." Mary stopped as Mr Payne stepped forward, and was pointing a gun at Milo.
"that's good to hear! But staying here to save everyone - are you sure you're making the right decision?" miss Greenway smiled. It was a scary image.
"why are you doing this?!" Jackie spoke up. Mr Payne aimed the gun at her.
"Jackie, we can have questions later. I can't believe you just interrupted me so rudely."
"oh shut up!" Milo said in frustration. "just put the gun down and leave Jackie alone!"
Mr Payne looked very surprised to see Milo like this.
"why are you so determined to defend her Milo? Do you love her or something?"
Milo paused.
"I would defend any of my friends!"
"you love her.."
"oh shut up!" Jackie said this time. "as if!"
They heard the gun (still aiming at Jackie) click into place, but Milo rapidly bought out his own.
"Ha!" Miss Holstead suddenly started laughing. "Milo, you can't shoot Mr Payne! You're a goodie two shoes!"
This is where I should note what everyone was wearing. The six girls, as you already know, are in their navy P. E kits, and everyone else was in their normal uniform. This consisted of a light blue top, grey trousers or skirt and tights, and a navy blazer. No one had bothered with their ties. Everyone was in a state, with tears and rips everywhere. Milo, on the other hand, still looked perfect with his blazer, his tank top and his tie still in excellent condition. Back to the story..
"you know what? That's it!" suddenly, he stripped off his blazer and teared away his tank top. He ripped off his tie and even undid his top button. Even more unexpectedly, he took a knife from his pocket and cut off his sleeves.
"never again am I being a bloody goodie two shoes! If it means I can shoot you all, I will happily become a rebel!"
Everyone was gob smacked.
"YES MILO! YES MY SON!" Mary punched the air.😤😬👔
