“Hey, Belle!” I screamed “Wait up!!”

I was sprinting down the long winding corridor of my school towards my best friend, Belle. She had long brown wavy hair down to her waist, striking emerald green eyes and long slim legs up to her elbows. As she spun around to face me, I saw it; the look on her face. A look I have never seen before. Fear. Belle is the sort of girl who never gets scared and always gets what she wants, so this look was a shock to me.

“Hey Gabs” She smiled “I’ve been looking for you” She said handing me a leaflet.

State:

“So...are you gonna sign one??” Belle pleaded.

“I....I’m gonna be late for class.” I started for the door but Belle just stood in front of me blocking the why “Excuse me.” I tried to get round her but Belle is a stubborn girl.

“C’mon. Ever since we were little kids we always said if we had the chance we would do it TOGETHER.”

I gave in and said “Alright. Okay.” And with that answer, the look of fear vanished from her face.

I walked into the classroom with Belle. Both of us getting ready for a bawling off the teacher but, I realized the teacher was not there and everyone was messing around, throwing stuff, drawing on the white board and gossiping. They really do look like 5 year olds, I laughed to myself.

We took our seats, in the old, squeaky, plastic chairs at the back and began to fill out our forms.

“Surname” Belle said “Saunders”

“Cooke” I smiled and added “First Names. Gabrielle Taylor”

“Isabella Grace Leah Megan” she laughed “I have so many names, anyways, age. Sixteen”

“Fifteen, date of Birth- 17th December”

“9th September I’ve already had my birthday. State”

“California” we both said at the same time.

I hopped out of my car and walked down my driveway, heading  towards my front door. I took the keys out and began to turn the key in the lock just as my phone started beepping.

1 new message.

I walked through the door and picked up the mail and shouted “I’m home!” only to get no answer. So, instead, I just read my text .

I just got my letter saying I didn’t get picked, soz. Hope u have better look. Belle xxx

Awwww. I probably didn’t get in either then :( There's always a next time though??? Hey?? Gabs xxx

I placed the pile of mail on the coffee table in front of me. I sat, slouching, on the couch. I turned the small HD TV on and changed the channel to the news. There was a note taped to the remote. I ripped it off and began reading it.
