"How..How could you?" I ask pacing back and forth in front of the bathroom mirror

"Macey, It'll be good for you, a new experience" She sighs.

"But Mum.."I whine leaning against the bathroom door.

"No Buts Mace, Look I think it will do you good, being able to go to a different school, See how they do stuff differently..maybebdhs"She mutters and I look at her.

"What was that?" I ask and I hear her pause on the phone.

"What was what?"She asks as if she has no idea what I'm talking about and I growl on the other end and she gives in, "Fine, I said..and Maybe you might actually get a boyfriend"She says and I just stare at myself in mirror my mouth slightly open.

"MUM!" I say feeling slightly embarrassed, Its not as if I'm not able to get a boy friend, I don't particularly want one. Boys are weird.

"Well you gotta Admit Mace, You're a bit..boring" She says making my mouth open wider.

"I'm not.."I defend.

"Whatever you say Mace, Look You have a busy day on Monday, Why don't you go rest and have the weekend to think about it" My mum says and I sigh hanging up going back out of the bathroom. My own mother thinks I'm boring..Oh a great start in life, When I'm older and have children they'll ask me, "So mum what we're you like when you were younger?" I'll have the urge to reply with something extraordinary like a person in the shadows watching people's every move just so I can mentally use it against them in the future..But no my mother will pipe up and tell the world I was boring.

I flop down on my bed and wait to indulge in the heaven sent weekend before entering the world of hell, The world called Everton.

"Right, One, Two, Three, Fo-" Sir starts counting us out and pauses seeing only the three of us on the mini bus, "Where in the world is Circe, I swear if she doesn't turn up I wil-"

"I'm Here Sir, Don't get your knickers in a twist, The ever great Circe Hart, has arrived" She strolls onto the bus as if she was hours early and had time to kill.

"I swear to God, You'll be the reason I end up in hospital with a heart attack" Sir mutters.

"Are you saying I would kill you sir? I am shocked" She says fake hurt.

"It wouldn't surprise me Miss Hart" He says back crossing something off his clipboard.

"Nah, Don't worry Sir, The murdery phase is so year 10" She says grinning.

"Good to hear a year has changed you so much"Sir says sarcastically.

"Good to tell you sir, Good to tell you" She smirks.

"Right, Back to business, We will be leaving in the next minute or so, As we go along I will start explaining the process of this and what is expected"He says and we just sit in silence.

"Expected? What of us?" Circe says and you can see sir mentally preparing for what she may say next, "You should be glad I even showed up, I was considering coincidentally getting the flu today"She says and he sighs.

"Look Circe, Everton is just like any other school-"

"What full of sexist, Egotistical pigs?" She interrupts him raising an eyebrow.

"Circe, I have explained not all the boys there are..like that, The boys are being monitored very closely, If they seem put of line someone will step in, Okay?" He asks but she just huffs crossing her arms, "Okay, We are easy to go." The engine starts and we make our way to Purgatory.

"So sir, What are the rules again?" Kady asks as we turn the corner and see the arches to hell looming in front of us.

"Basically all the rules we have at Barritas. Just work hard and everything should be fine."Sir tells her and she nods as we pull up outside the front door, "Right We are going to head over to the Head's office , Quiet when we walk through as lessons are in action and we wouldn't want to cause a..commotion."Sir says and we start getting out, luckily we were around the back so no one could see us even if they wanted to. We slowly made our way through the hallways catching glimpses of lessons going on, All the classes were weird everyone faced away from the door, So all the doors were at the back of the classroom..I don't know if I'm just observant or odd... We carry on down the winding hallways and finally come to a large door with a sign stating Office, Sir knocked twice and opened it stepping inside.

"Hello Patrick, I see you brought the girls"The guy sitting behind the desk had a head of grey hair and a tie that looked so tight I was surprised it wasn't choking him, He had small eyes hidden behind bowl like glasses and stood up showing he was a rather tall man.

"Yes, Girls this is Mr Patton, He will be in charge of you girls for the next three months, He is vice chief to the Stanley project, As I said girls not much information can be given out about it So don't bother pestering him with questions about it. Sir here will be showing you who you will be paired up with and working with for the next few months. I will be leaving now if you girls have no further questions" Sir says and I can see He is itching to get away, So I ask a question..just to Piss him off.

"Uh Yeah, So after today do we just come straight Here all the time in the mornings or do we go to..What?" I ask and he pauses.

"You will be following a timetable so just go straight to lesson"He answers, "Anything else?" He wanders slightly closer to the door and I see Circe picked up on what he was doing.

"Oh Sir, What happens if we're ill one day..or if we get hurt, How will our parents know?"She asks.

"Everton has Your contact details so nothing to worry about"He says quickly.

"Sir-"

"Yes Kady!"He says in a raised voice surprising us all As we jump..Even Mr Patton.

"Where's the bathroom?" She asks and we all bite back a smile, I even see Poppy smirking slightly. Sir just gives Mr Patton a look and he nods.

"Don't worry about a thing girls, Everything will be fine, Sir here has a meeting so needs to get going"Patton says.

"Yeah, A meeting with his golf clubs"Circe mutters So only we can hear.

"I will see you girls soon, Okay, Bye"He says and speeds off, The door closes behind him and that just leaves us and Patton..Oh this will be fun.
