As soon as I've climbed over that gate, being me, I felt instantly bad. I'm sorry that I kind of ruined the momentum, but what did you think I was going to do? Pull off my tie and blazer, jump on them, and run away from school, jabbing my middle fingers in the air? Of course not- I'm a geek, for God's sake! Not a rebel!

I try to climb back over the fence, but I am in such a state I just can't, and I go to a last resort. Reluctantly, I yell at one of the passing teachers:

"Let me in! I'm sorry! Let me in! Please!" Tears are streaming down my face, and I didn't know I could get so emotional. I guess it was the face that I could actually get in serious trouble for this little stunt of mine. The teacher wanders over, and she lets me in.

"Thank you so, so much!"

"No problem." She replies. "Now tell me, Lavender Brennan, why were you outside the school gates in the first place?"

I look up at the teacher in disbelief. It wasn't any old teacher. It was my headmistress, Mrs Porte. My day became a whole lot worse.
