“Right,” began the teacher again at the front. I had sat down about 5 mintues ago, and the teacher hadn’t allowed us to talk until we were outside the hall again. Next test, yet again Maths, the wondrous subject, the fantastic subject, the downright shoddy subject. Everyone sat there in perpetual silence as the teachers handed out the booklets and we were told to start.
“That was even easier!” began Maddy after the dreaded Maths test. I stared at her blankly and continued to walk, but now a little faster. Hurridly, I disappeared into a crowd of sixth formers, only to come face to face with Claire. I suddenly dropped my books and wrapped my arms around her, tears starting to drip down my face again. Claire quickly took me under her arm and helped me gather up my books. After the very embarrassing scene, she took me to a more secluded place, the computers. The computers were the only place we ever went. It wasn’t that private, but people never usually listened to your conversations as they had lots of work to do. I sat shakily down on a chair, and moments later she joined me.
“Ok, J, seriously, what’s up?”
“I…” I began. “I can’t tell you, I’ve swore to secrecy”. Just at that moment, Emily came in and grinned, but from the look on Claire’s face, she quickly squatted down beside me and looked up at me, her big brown eyes full of questions. I stared at her, but not for long as Sophie came bustling in, books under her arm in a sort of, mother-like position.
“Aww, what’s up Grace?” she asked, only to have 2 pairs of ‘don’t say anything’ faces staring back at her, and a sigh from me. Next in was Lucy, cheerily and happy. After seeing the looks on everyone’s faces, she quickly saddened, sitting along side Sophie and Claire. I couldn’t take the attention, and subsequently got up and ran out of the room. Tears now flooded out of my eyes as I ran downwards, getting spotted by Talie on the way. I ran through the school, trying to lose the trail of girls behind me, and suddenly coming to the fact that I couldn’t outrun a bunch of grammar school girls and slowed to a stop, catching a glimpse of shirt before I was smacked into by whoever was at the front and got bombed on by everyone else who was trying to stop in time. They didn’t and we all fell into a groaning heap on the floor, others around us laughing a pointing at the strange scene that had befallen them. Claire, who was at the top, slowly unhooked herself from the pack and held out her hand to Sophie, who was trying desperately hard not to tumble backwards and show everyone the inside of her skirt. Emily and Lucy tumbled off, and Talie jumped up, holding out a hand to me, as I took it gratefully and prominently fell backwards, sending her falling on top of me. I grinned awkwardly, the tears now dried on my face. The girls, who were still around us, began to laugh again, but seeing the small smile on my face, she grinned back, helping me to my feet again and taking me and everyone else downstairs.
