After my brother and the three girls had gone to bed, I layout on the carpet in my bedroom and started to stretch my sore muscles out. I was grateful for this time that u got in my own personal space, it gave me a time to reflect on how lucky I was and catch up with my friends online. Still, I wondered what my purpose was in life, who am I surprised to be? This question continued to bother me ever since I had started secondary school, I had no idea what I wanted to achieve in my life. Climbing was something that I loved but I didn't want to pursue it as a career however much people assumed I would, my parents are amazing and would support me whatever I chose to do but I didn't know what I wanted and that bothered me. Bee wanted to be a teacher and Iz a doctor but I want my life to be exciting and I wanted to change peoples lives. I know that that sounds cheesy, it is but I want people to remember me.
My mum stood at my bedroom door,
"Ur not going to be world champion if that's the only stretching that your going to do," she stated as she came and sat down next to me,
"Thanks for helping out with the kids today," she smiled at me as the front door unlocked and my dad pulled his bags through the door.
"I'm home!" he called, his voice carrying through the house.
"Ssshhhh," my mum called, her voice quickly turning into an angry whisper,
"You'll wake the children."
"Hey dad," I smiled innocently at him, he loves it when I act like his bay girl again. "I'm going to bed now, night guys," I shut the door to my bedroom, got changed into my superman pyjamas and snuggled up in to bed with my iPod to listen to some Naked and Famous.*************************************
Droplets of water beat down on the top of my cheap umbrella as I trudged up the hill toward the mustard yellow colour building that stood on top of the allotment covered hill.I was freezing and my hands were numb, the stupid school blazers weren't made for keeping the human body walm, my grey skirt kept threaterning blow above my bum due to the numerous gust of wind that came from behind of me and the leather black brogues on my feet didn't even try to stop the water from pouring into them.
I arrived at the gate of the park where I met the friends that I walk to school with, Rachael, Lou, Jess and Eliza. Rachael skipped up to me and we all embraced in a rather girly group hug.
Jess and Lou had pretty young faces whereas Elisa had defined facial features and huge beautiful eyes. Like mine Jess's hair was a mossy brown colour and the thickness that it was resulted in it turning to straw in the rain, we were always complaining about this. Lou had auban hair and a tiny fiiguer and at just a size 6 she could pull anything off.
With water streaming down our backs and satisfied looks on our faces we entered the gates of our school preparing ourselves for another week of boredom.
By break time, I was ready to give up on my education and just go home, next was PE so at least I wouldn't have to write...
"Move out my way bitches!" a tall, frizzy haired girl stormed through the canteen.
"Whoever invented maths is dead!" she announced, her anouncement was directed to me however it was loud enough for people nearby to turn their heads and listen.
"Morning Ali," I replied laughing to my self, "did the Pithagerous not agree with you this morning?"
Ali gave me a death stare as the rest of our friends gathered around us.
"Guess who," Bee called as she covered my eyes with her hand and pulled me into her chest. I squirmed out of her grasp and stole the cookie she had in her blazer pocket from her. Bee tried to grab it back but had little success.
The bell sounded through the canteen,
"Are we all ready to run the 1500?" Iz called.
"Yay we all get to watch Lola run!" laughed Rachael.
"Your running is fabulous," Jess sarcastically told Lola.
"You are all horrible," Lola stuck her tongue out at her as we trooped towards the changing rooms laughing at lola's imaturity.*************************************
"Bye," I called to Joe, one of the first people I met at this school, "see you bright and early tomorrow morning!"
Joe pretended to shoot himself and fall to the ground dead.
"What happened to joe?" Laughed Rachael.
"I don't even know," I answered equally amused, "Where's Jess? she promised that she'd wait for me."
"Looks like it's just us today,"
"Come on then, we better go before it starts to rain, again!"
"Oh, the great british wheather," sung Rachael.I said my goodbye to Racheal after we had walked throgh the park together and turned to walk down the hill leading to my house.
"Cammie, Cammie," I recanised that vioce, it was the man how had run after me in the corner shop two days before. Panaking, I turned to run after Racheal. Quickly, I glanced behind me so that I got a rough idea about what he looked like, he was about 6ft and of a lanky build and he was wearing a navy blue hoody and tracksuit bottoms. He looked like he hadn't treated himsef well, he had huge red marks below his swolen eyes and a slight yellow tint to his skin, he wasn't pretty. I was tired today and there was no way that I would be able to run for as long as I had done before. Racheal turned her head and started to run once she saw the panicked look on my face, we ran to Myles's house, banged on his windows and sprinted inside as soon as he opened the door. Panting, Racheal and I leaned our backs against the closed door.
"And you are here becuase...?" Myles questoined looking at Racheal.
"Don't look at me," Racheal said raising her arms above her head, "I don't even know why we were running in the first place." They both turned to look at me.
"On Saturday, I stole a bottle from the cornershop up by the old where we had the party, a man noticed me just as I was about to walk out the shop so I ran, it wasn't that surprising, I have been caught before but then the man started shouting my name, I have never seen him before in my life," I explained still out of breath from running, "the same man was waiting on my road when I said bye to Racheal, he started calling my name and chsing after me, I panicked not wanting to run to my house incase he had something to do with the new girls that we have just started to foster, obviously if he new the girls were in care with a family living in this part of Bristol it wouldn't be too hard for him to track me down vier facebook or something. Anyway, I ran to catch up with Racheal and she started running with me, the first place that came in to my head that was near but far enough away to try and loose him was here, I just hoped you would be in."
"You are over reacting, I'm sure he has just seen you before and he wants to arrest you for stealing," Racheal said, obviously anoid that I had made her go for a run with all her school bags.
"Or you have a stalker!" Myles joked, "and now he could know wher I live, thanks Cammie."
We waited 30 minutes before heading home again as Racheal had a music lesson and I had climbing squad. Still feeling like someone was watching me, I causiously opened my front door careful to check behind me to double cheack that nobody was there.
All through climbing that night the image of that man cloweded my vision, I took deep breaths and used all my energy to channel my thoughts so that they were all on the boulder problem that I was trying to complete. I hugged the masive volune that was produding from the wall infront of me, I could feel the first layer of skin on my forearms being scratched off my the roughness of the hold. I rocked my body on to my left foot and plamed my right hand on the top of the circular colume I had been hugging before, as I reached up, my foot slipped and I went tumbling to the boulder mat below. I punshed the mat in fustration.
