The gunshot

Chapter 6

I looked at the clock for the fourth time that lesson. Slowly waiting for the end of the day  to come. 2:40.  20 minutes left.

'Rachael , have you been listening to anything I have been saying? ' Miss Brown asked me.

'No miss, sorry miss' I replied.

'You will be, now where was I.....' Miss brown said. As she continued, I stared out the window thinking about my date that night. Billy.  The most gorgeous boy in the whole of the school had asked me out on a date. A date.

'So where are you going tonight then ??' Millie asked me. Turning around to  face me.

'Ummm.. well I dont know, am supposed  to be meeting him after school at the school gates' I replied.

'You mean your going straight after school... without getting ready..... going in your...' Millie said quickly.

'Yes do you have a problem with that' I retorted after interruptimg her.

'Umm.. no sorry' Millie replied going back to her work.

'Do be quiet girls' Miss brown said pionting in our direction.

'Sorry miss' we said in unison.

As the school bell went at the end of the day, I picked up my bag and started heading for the door. Hardly containing my excitement, I rushed out of the school and headed towards the school gates.  As I walked along the concrete ground, I looked up to see Billy standing there right in front of me.

'Hey' I said looking up at him.

'Hey beautiful' He said looking at me and taking my hand in his. Quickly I grabbed my hand back.

'Whats wrong?' He asked me.

'Nothing sorry' I said looking away from him

'Then let me hold that hand of yours then' he said.

'Okay am sorry am just not into this whole relationship thing' I said avoiding eye contact.

'I didnt think we were' he started to say, looking me in the eye, ' but I like that idea'

'You do?' I said searching for an anwser in his eyes.

'Yes I would love that' he said leaning in to take my hand again, ' now where would you like to go?' He asked me.

'Umm.... how about the cafè down the road?, I know its not very romantic.. but ..' I started but yet again he silenced me by placing a finger on my lips.

'Shhh.. you worry to much, the cafè will be perfect' he said looking at me in the eye.

As we walked along the street hand in hand, I wondered how this 'date' would go. I mean with my past history with boys and dates, it will proberly end up with something going wrong.  Like I am useless when it comes to boys.

'So tell me more about yourself' Billy asked me as we neared  the  cafè.

'Theres nothing really to tell, am not that intersting'  I replied.

'Now I know thats not true' Billy replied looking into my eyes.

'Thanks but it is tru-' I started to say before he gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

As I watched Rachael go to the toilet, I carefully the sneaked out the potion that I had been given by the master. Slowly and carefully I dropped one drop into her mugg. Just at that moment she appeared there, standing there beautiful in her school uniform. Why am I doing this to her?

As I watched her take a sip from her drink I instantly knew what was going to happen. Then a second later her head hit the table with a  thump.
