You know how I said Clara was really studious? I wasn't lying , she cares desperately about how she does on not only her GCSEs but any test she takes. I know why as well , she has an older brother who is manager of a huge company and has done amazingly well , and her parents are always pressuring her to be just as good as him. They get mad if she gets low scores on anything and they say she didn't try hard enough and she was lazy and stupid. Which I think was madly unfair , since she tries so hard. Her parent aren't bad people , but that is the one horrible thing about them.
I didn't tell the girls all this , but I DID tell them how much she wanted to do well with her studies. Which is all leading on to what Tia did the other day when she was supposed to be studying with us.... They promised me they wouldn't do anything without my permission! I can't believe she did this!
*************************************************************
I could hear her crying. She didn't realise I was in here. She thought she was alone. I could imagine her in there. Sat hugging her knees , tears pouring freely down her blotchy face. She'd be thinking about her parents , they would blame her. We both knew it. I wanted to burst in there and hug her , make everything right , but I couldn't , I didn't even know what was stopping me , I just ... I suppose if she didn't forgive me I would lose all my friends, Tia wouldn't like me if she knew I had spoken to her and if Clara didn't forgive me then I would have no one , maybe that's why I didn't do it.
I ran out. I couldn't bear it, she was heartbroken and it was my fault. I miss them. I miss Sky and Clara...

(Clara's P.O.V)
'Clara could I have a word?'
'Umm , yes sure miss'
'You will all receive your mock results soon , however until I come back I want you all to read to page 348.' There was a unanimous groan.
She brought me into a small room off the side. Her voice softened.
'Clara I am so sorry , you are a very hardworking student and put a lot of effort into all you do, I see how much work you put in , and you of all people do not deserve this .'
I smiled , surely what she was about to say couldn't possibly be that bad , she really noticed that I tried hard?
'It's about your mocks, it seems someone with spiteful intentions managed to get in to the staff room and we think they have shredded your papers. We intend to find out who did this and have them severely
punished. Do you have any idea who would do this , have you had an argument with anyone recently?'
NO! No ... anything but this!
'I .. um ... I .. no sorry I .. I .. can ... I go to umm .. please...' I spluttered not being able to get my words out and with that I ran from the room and locked myself in one of the toilets. This wouldn't be so bad to someone else , since , after all it's not the actual paper , but I'm already a disappointment to my parents and the are sure to blame me , they will make it seem like all my fault , I don't know what to do!
