The Transfer

Chapter 11: That One Thing

I went to the playground where there was grass and benches. I sighed. Here I am. In a boy's school. I sat on one of the benches and got my mobile out. This should be good time to phone my mum.

'Hello?' A voice said.

'Is this Mum?' I said, making sure its not one of her friends like before.

'CeCe! You finally called. I couldn't get hold of your number. How are you, sweetheart?' She said, sounding happy. Well, I guess she wasn't worried.

'I'm doing fine. Just hangin about. In a boy's school.' I said. She sighed.

'I'm sorry CeCe, I didn't mean to-'

'It's fine. I'm doing okay.' I said. I didn't want to hear it before I get more mad. 'So hows it going over there?'

'Nothing much. I just got my nails done because I'm going out for a drink with my friends.' She said normally. I smiled. That was what I said a few weeks ago. It seems weird when my mum says it.

'Okay. Thats great. My dad is nice and hes-'

'Sorry CeCe, I have to go.' My mum said out of no where. For some reason, I felt that she just said that to avoid the conversation.Why?

'But Mum-'

'Sorry, I'll talk to you later. Phone me okay? Friends are here. Take care in school and don't get in trouble or I will come there. Byeee.' She said before hanging up. How could she? I was talking to her. Oh Man! She hasn't changed at all. The same old annoying mum.

'Hey!!' I looked up to see Finn in his uniform. Wow, he looked great. I thought the uniform made everyone look like a robot, but nope. Not everyone. I gave a big smile.

'Finn, I was wondering where you were.' I said.

'Yeah, I was kind of late. My cousin was still asleep. You know how long it takes to wake him up?' He said, his scottish accent making him sound awesome. His hands were behing his back. It took me a while to notice that he was hiding something behind his back.

'Whats that?' I pointed to his back. He gave a big smile.

'Well, I heard you at the opening day. You were rambling about how much you love chocolate Icecream so...' He showed me a delicious Icecream on a cone. I smiled with delight and hunger.

'Finn, your the best.' I took the icecream from him and gave him a big hug.

'I know. You looked really sad when you found out about this school so I just got you this from the school kitchen. But I better be going. What lesson do you have next?'

I grinned happily. 'Firstly, you have icecream in the school kitchen?' I said, gobsmacked. He laughed and nodded. 'And I've got Maths.' I said.

'With Miss Rain?' He said. I nodded. 'Thats great! I mean, Ive got Maths with her too. I'll see you then.' He said. I waved before he went into one of the doors.

I sighed. It wasn't going to be that bad.
