Part Seven - Summer Break

It's been a few weeks since my last entry to the diary. But it's because I've been... well busy, not like you'd not know that because you are me, but oh well yeah you know... Where was I last time? 

Oh yes! The zoo. That was cool. Erm, so the next bit I remember is summer break. A month or so later.  The timeline is a little wishy washy. But we had a pretty easy run, me and Hannah. Wynter of course got involved too, but there wasn't much going on anyways. Classes mainly. Settling in, now I know that the title of this part of the diary might be a little misleading as it wasn't really the summer break but a bank holiday weekend. Which is like an extended weekend. But a break from classes none-the-less. I am back to writing this because of the paper from the zoo. I took it with me, but when I read it. What is said. It scared me. The note read; 

'You are always being watched, and I cannot protect you if something goes wrong, I hope you can forgive me'

It was from Dad, it had to be. But what he was saying, it was crazy, am I always being watched? by who? why? then again, why did this happen to me. I don't know what to think. Am I going crazy? 

I was just about ready to finish up on my end of term paper when Sarah, always shooting daggers right at me stands up and announces to the class "Miss! Amy cheated on the test!" acting as if she were all high and mighty. I just looked over, confused. That's when I remembered we were still not made up from the last altercation we had. Miss Wilbur turned to me and approached my desk and looks over my shoulder at my test.

Which is obviously not complete yet as we still had half an hour to go and Miss Wilbur glances back to Sarah and smiles, God she is a godsend. "If Amy was cheating... why has she not got question seven right?". 

She walked over to Sarah and looked at her paper and said "even you have got it right but you've not shown your working out, are you sure you aren't cheating Sarah, you do realise that showing your working it out is most of the mark for those questions, now don't you. Sarah honey, please take a seat and finish your work". Sarah tried to plead "but miss... check her desk... I saw her-" Miss Wilbur, swoops back and announced "has anyone in this room seen Amy cheat on her test?", the room was silent. 

No one cared, until Wynter put her hand up and said "Miss, I didn't want to say but because Sarah is acting up, I thought I'd say that I saw Sarah use a cheat sheet that she hid in her desk before saying that to you.". Now what I didn't realise until that point was that Wynter saw Sarah put the cheat sheet in my desk and after she left, Wynter put it into Sarah's desk. Miss Wilbur opens the top of Sarah's desk to see the cheat sheet.

 She also opens my desk to see there is nothing. Returning her glaze at me she looked at me and says to keep on going with my work, patting my shoulder and she sighed before saying those amazing, golden words. She said "Sarah, I cannot believe you would do this in my class, I thought you were better than this. You would have gotten away with cheating if you had kept your mouth shut. I want you to meet me and the head mistress after class to discuss your outburst. You can go outside the office now and read until we are done here". 

Sarah couldn't have pulled a face like the one she had been wearing after she was told that she was in trouble. But I relished it, all she ever did was try to plan for this, thanks to Wynter, my new friend. I was able to have the upper hand in our little war. 

I don't know what was said in their little meeting after class that day but she did have to sit the test again but the questions were I heard, a lot harder. I love Miss Wilbur. I'm getting away from myself though. Because I am trying to forget what I told you earlier. I was apparently being watched, that seriously has been playing on my mind even till now. What did the people that were watching me want? Why? I am and was so confused. It was after that class I went back to the dorm. I didn't see Sarah but I did see Hannah, and when we made eye contact, we just burst out laughing. 

Nearly wetting ourselves with laughter, definitely crying out loud with it at the least. That's when Wynter knocked on the door and told us everything. Before leaving to get her stuff for her weekend at home.  I had barely anything in the first place but I knew my weekend wasn't going to be fun and sunshine. I knew it it would be  a nightmare. After recovering from our bought, I got changed into my day wear, grabbed my bag for going home and left the dorm for the first time since arriving. It was a weird experience. Like no other. Because for once, despite my previous two homes, I felt like I had a home. Like a true place where I was part of a community part of the world, even if it did include the ugly pit bull and her litter of runt friends. Too nasty? Sorry. 

Once I exited the main doors I saw her again, looming there. Creepy as a clown with a plastered on grin, business attire and a briefcase held in front. I'll be honest I forgot this woman existed. My so called 'mum'. But now, I didn't want to go even near her she was terrifying, but she waved me over with an; "Amy! Amy baby, mummy is over here", which was met with laughter from the other girls around me and I turned a particular shade of red with utter embarrassment. I waddle slowly across the pebble and gravel drive to the car, getting in the back without looking at mum. I didn't want to see her, not right away, not when I don't even know who she is. 

It was my summer break, kind of and the worst part is, I would have to spend it alone. With her. My birthday was coming up but I doubt even that was the same, okay, I know it is the same but with everything that has happened to me, wouldn't you question just about anything, I mean come on. Work with me here. 

I was driven back and I exited the car with my bag after a silent journey, mum basically rambling the whole way about how excited she is that her little girl is growing into a beautiful woman already I feel like vomiting writing this. I mean it I might have to be sick... 
Okay I kinda was sick, it got to me that much. I'm just back and yes I am back at Tulips as I am writing these entries. So that means I have had to go past Sarah's cubicle on the way out of the room, she got suspended for the first couple of days back, she never had an excuse they would believe for the cheat sheet so she got what she deserved as well as a ladle full of people joining on the shaming. I actually felt a little sorry for her.  I don't like her but I have like a weird respect for her, I mean we are getting taught to "love thy neighbour" and that  so I guess I am in a really weird battle like way. 

Back to the story, the weekend wasn't without it's catches, but let's say I spent most of it in my room, listening to my records. But my birthday was soon and mum knew, I sniffed something 'off' more so than normal with her demeanour to me. I think she was planning something. My first birthday like this, as a girl. My scars were almost completely gone from the surgery. But I felt sad, because I remembered what it was like before all this, I remember how alone I felt, no-one around only occasionally my dad and the maid. Now I'm so surrounded by people my age I get to hang out with every day only to be brought to a big empty house alone again, I hated it. I HATE IT! I WILL ALWAYS HATE BEING ALONE!
