After what felt like hours of dodging students in the corridors, I found the headteachers office. I was meant to meet her 5 minutes ago, but by looking in I could tell she was late too.
"Ah, Daniel! Sorry I'm late. Please, have a seat" Her voice was quite sharp, one that could definitely demand attention. I walked to the chair opposite the polished desk. Many photos, of family and friends I suppose, lay on it. It gave the office more of a homely vibe. I couldn't relax, though. No, I mustn't let my guard down, my fire might just get out if I do.
The start of the meeting was very brief, she would've had other things to. The worst bit came last.
A knock sounded, it had come from outside the room. "Come in" The headteacher, who's name I learned to be Ms.Jones, called. It was the girl from outside, the one who was with Phil. Her hair bounced on her shoulders with every step she took. Seeing her eyes up close showed them to be much more brown.
"My form tutor said you needed me?" Her voice was a nice change from Ms.Jones, although there was a hint of worry in it.
"Would you mind showing Daniel around for the day? You have very similar classes" Daniel. I hate being called that. The girl gave a curt nod after a long sigh of relief. This was terrible news, I had to spend a whole day with someone constantly by my side.
I tried to keep quiet as I followed the girl out of the office, but my efforts didn't last very long. " My names Beth, by the way", I nodded and tried to keep my silence for a bit longer. "I guess you're Dan, then" I wish she would just get the hint that I DON'T want to speak.
The tour took ages, I wish she would walk faster! I managed to not have a conversation and gave one word answers. The longest conversation we had was when I gave her my time table.
"We should exchange numbers" Beth looked on at me with hope. I really didn't want to, but I don't think I could get out of this. I was planning in giving her a fake number but I can tell she's too smart. After giving her my number she immediately went to text me, I knew I couldn't get away with a fake number!

I knew then that I was not going to shake this girl off! At least I hadn't seen Phil again, I thought I was safe!
