“Now class if you turn to page 394…”
It had been half an hour of Charlie’s double lesson in history. So far Miss Moore had succeeded in putting 3 students to sleep with her dull monotone voice, and prompted most of the other students to retrieve their phones from the deep recesses of their blazer pockets resulting in a lot of girls clustered together, pouting into their camera lenses. Charlie didn’t bother with the culture of the ‘selfie’ so she was just happy to scroll down Tumblr. Unlike her sisters blog dedicated to fandoms such as Harry potter, The Hunger games and the fault in our stars, Charlie’s blog focused more on the horror aspect of life and my chemical romance.
Now before you start making accusations of Charlie, despite her now short cropped red dyed hair and dark black eyeliner, she wasn’t a Goth or and emo. Far from it in fact! Over the past two years she had discovered so many amazing bands like fall out boy and paramore, but her favourite was my chemical romance by far. She just loved the way their lyrics would be so depressing, but the tune would be funky as hell.
Moving on from music tastes, her class sucked. Thankfully Miss Moore seemed to be oblivious to the fact that nobody was paying the slightest bit of attention to her. This was helped by the fact that her glasses, which she had sat on at the beginning of the lesson, were broken so much she could see less when she had them on.
After what felt like years, the bell went to signal the end of lesson one. Charlie happily began packing away, only to receive curious glances from many students surrounding her. It only then occurred to her that of course, it was a double lesson and she still had to endure another hour of the maddening room. She grabbed a packet of crisps from her back and hastily tucked in, knowing that their oblivious teacher wouldn’t really care. Abruptly, a weird vibration came from her pocket, alerting her to a text. Unsurprisingly, it was from Sammy.
Ugh, science. Fancy a trip 2 costa? :P
Charlie hastily scrawled a reply to her sister, trying to make as little noise as she could.
Can’t sorry, Miss Moore’s double history again. Jepson’s by the door he won’t let me sneak out
No sooner than Charlie had leaned back in her seat and attempted to make some notes from the text book in front of her, the phone was buzzing again and she had to jump to silence it.
Damn, was hoping 2 ditch Marilyn. She’s driving me crazy! Anyway g2g, U no how Mr Dixon hates phones.
Charlie made a mental note to check up and Mar and her sister to find out what despicable and annoying thing Marilyn had done this time. Knowing Sam, it would be something ridiculous like the fact that Marilyn was breathing.
Wouldn’t you agree that one of the most violent sports is table tennis?
“AAAAAAH I WILL SLAM YOU TO THE GROUND”
Jade and Megan were in the middle of and intense table tennis battle-to-the-death. They were the only people out of the group of 5 that were in the same form, and therefore most of the same classes. It had already started to get to Jade that her best friend was in a completely different half, and the twins were annoyed that they had been split up, but Meg was coping fine. She had Jade and that was all she really needed.
The match was going pretty well. Both of the girls decided that since neither of them could sport, they would try their hardest to be awful against each other. Needless to say, neither of them had got a higher rally than 1 yet and no-one was winning.
“Girls, you have to be the ball! Imagine the balls every move and go from there” If from this statement you can tell what Miss Moonbeams like…well…
Let me tell you something about Miss Moonbeams. We were best friends in middle school. I know, right? It's so embarrassing. I don't even... Whatever. So then in eighth grade, I started going out with my first boyfriend Jake who was totally gorgeous but then he moved to Indiana, and miss Moonbeam was like, weirdly jealous of him. Like, if I would blow her off to hang out with Jake she'd be like, "Why didn't you call me back?" And I'd be like, "Why are you so obsessed with me?" So then, for my birthday party, which was an all-girls pool party, I was like, "Miss Moonbeam, I can't invite you, because I think your a hippy." I mean I couldn't have a hippy at my party. There were gonna be girls there in their bathing suits. I mean, right? She was a HIPPY. So then her mom called my mom and started yelling at her, it was so retarded. And then she dropped out of school because no one would talk to her, and she came back in the fall for high school, all of her hair was long and curly and she was totally weird and wore a long flow-y skirt, and now I guess she's a games teacher.
“Come on Jade, give up! We all know that I’m obviously going to win!” Megan cried over the roar of sound vibrating through the gym.
“No way biatch I’m totally beating you!” Jade screamed back.
“Really? I think not!”
“Wanna bet?”
“How about this: winner buys looser a pizza pocket form the canteen?”
“Deal, if we add a waffle as well because let’s face it, those things are delicious”
“DEAL!” They both shouted the last part in unison, slamming down there bats and thrusting their hands at each other. It resulted in their table collapsing inward and both of them lying in a heap laughing their heads off.
“Girls! Girls!” Called Miss Moonbeam in a sing-song voice. A crowd of other students had gathered round now. The equally rubbish students stood laughing whereas the more sporty types stood scowling at the fact their precious game had been disrupted. “Now, tell us Jade, what incident occurred on this fine, fateful day”
Slowly jade stood up about to explain, when the memory hit her and she doubled-over laughing again. It didn’t help that one particularly annoying girl buy the name Mercia shouted ”Duh, jades so fat that she broke the table trying to jump on her girlfriend!” which resulted in a chorus of annoying giggles from the sporty people.
“At least I can walk past a TV without two new episodes of Sherlock coming out” Jade barked back silencing the giggles
“Oooh the bitch can bite, wow I’m so scared” Mercia retorted, not fazed by Jades comment “You know they say that being mean to someone is the first sign of love. Anything you want to confess?”
“You know, if I wanted to talk to a bitch, I would have just brought my dog to school.”
“GIRLS WE MUST STOP THIS MADNESS AND GET OUR HEADS IN THE GAME!” Miss Moonbeam was almost dancing around the room now. Jade just stared at Mercia then turned away, walking out the room, Megan following like a shadow.
