Chapter 3
I woke up early in the morning as my phone has been beeping since 6am and it is now 7. I picked up my phone and found that I have 74 new messages; I wonder what everyone is saying. I opened a few of the first messages and they all said things like "I never knew you liked Jake!" and "Oh My God since when where you and Jake an item I am so jealous?”
HOW DID THEY KNOW????
I had only gone out to a cafe with a few of Jake's mates for half an hour. Wow gossip spreads fast. It seemed like the whole school knew, so someone must be telling everyone and I am determined to find out who that person/people were. Why am I getting so paranoid about this, it was only a date. My first date. Maybe I should just ask Jake to ask his friends if they told anyone before getting all detective on everyone.
I got up out of bed and started to rummage around my wardrobe to get my school uniform out so I could get dressed. I realised that there wasn't a skirt in there.
"MUM" I screamed "WHERE IS MY SKIRT???"
My mum came up and looked at me annoyingly
"Do you have to shout I have a banging headache? And you forgot to iron it, remember"
"Argggg, can't you do it for me just this once, please?"
"No, what did your last slave die of?"
"NOT DOING AS I SAY!!!!!"
----------Later that day entering school----------
I walked to school by myself today as Gemma had already left by the time I arrived at her house to pick her up which was strange as she was never one to be eager to get to school.
OMG!!!!
EMBARRASSING!!!!
HOW COULD THEY DO THIS???????
Posters EVERYWHERE.........of me and Jake...........KISSING!!!!
I could kill right now.
What am I going to do? As I walked into school, everyone was pointing, snickering and crowding around the lockers. As I stepped closer to one bunch of people they started to laugh even louder. Is someone stalking me? It looks as if I’m all over him, even though it was only a little kiss. This is going to be one of the most slow and most embarrassing days of my life, isn't it? All of a sudden a booming voice came from the speakers hooked up to the head teacher’s office. "CAN CARLY BARNS PLEASE COME TO THE HEAD TEACHERS OFFICE PLEASE?”
Well that was deafening. The school had just recently installed them and in my opinion they sucked. It was just a way for the head teacher or any other teacher for that matter to embarrass a student in public by announcing something stupid like "your mum's waiting for you in the office so please hurry, she says you have a doctor’s appointment about an infection".
I hurried myself to the head's office and waited outside until I heard a voice from inside, "come in". When I walked in I was surprised to see Jake already sitting in one of the two chairs placed in front of the head's desk. He was looking down so it was hard to see his facial expression but he looked like he did not want to be here. Our head teacher is called Mrs Meridy; she was tall with pale skin long black hair which was always clipped up with a hair clamp. I sat down and gave Jake a smile but he did not return one.
"Right, I’m pretty sure you both know why we are here"
