The bell goes for the end of roll call class and we exit the room. (Well at least we try). The hallways are packed with people trying to get from one side to another. (Some people are so impatient). I'm the first one to open the door therefore I'm the first to exit, but I wait till the hallway dies down a little. A girl behind me tells me to hurry up, but I just ignore her. When the hallway looks clear to go, I finally move out of the way to let everyone through and get to class, but they just flash me dirty looks and tell me that now they are going to be late for class, "oh please," I respond. I head to a little corner of the hallway and check my timetable for today. First I seem to have history, "damn it," I say to myself, Lila is in my history class. I guess this lesson will be hell in the past. With that I head to classroom D27.

I get to class and the teacher isn't here yet. "Thank goodness" I say to myself and quickly sit next a random person before the teacher walks in. That's when I realise I sat next to Lila, "shit," I mumble and so Lila gives me a dirty look while applying another layer of peach coloured lipstick. She whispers in my left ear, "you'll regret what you did this morning, Loser" and turns to face the front as Mr Harrison walks in. I gulp and a huge lump in my throat begins to form. I'm shaking with fear now. I am terrified something really bad is going to happen, something that only Lila is worthy of doing. 😰

As it was the last day of school Mr Harrison let us listen to music and play games on our laptops for the whole lesson. I was happy, but every now and then, the nervous thought kept entering my mind. What is Lila going to do to me? Is she gonna get me expelled from school next year? Is she going to make up a rumour about me to the whole year group? Is she going to tell Mr Harrison that she needs to go to the bathroom and brings me with her, but really she is going to physically and verbally abuse me? Some people would think I'm overreacting, but not with Lila. She is an evil witch. No, worse!

The end of class came and there was no sign of any suspicion from Lila, so I figure I'm just being paranoid and put Lila out of my mind and continue to my next class, Math. I may not like it, but at least I have Raquelle with me this time. 😅
