Chapter
1
They were going to get me.
I saw them the moment i turned the corner.
They were half way down, waiting near the bus stop. Melanie,
Sarah and Kim. Kim, the worst one of all.I didin't know what
to do. I took a step forward, my sandal sticking to the pavement.
They were nudging each other. they'd spotted me. I
couldn't see that far, even with my glasses, but i know Kim
would have that great big smile on her face. I stood still. I
looked over my shoulder. Perhaps i could run back to school?
I'd hung around for agaes already.
Maybe they'd locked the playground gates? But perhaps one of
the teachers would still be there? I could pretend I had a
stomachache or something and then maybe I'd get a lift in
their car? ' look at Mandy! She's going to go rushing
back to school. Baby! Kim yelled.
She seemed to have her own way magic glasses that let her see
right inside my head. She didin't wear ordinary glasses or
braces on their teeth. They never get fat. They never wear stupid
baby clothes. If I ran back they'd only rush after me. So I
went on walking, even throught my legs were wobbly. I was getting
near enought to see them properly. Kim was smilling all right.
They all were. I tried to think what to do. Daddy told me to try
teasing her back. But you can't tease girls like Kim.
There's nothing to tease her about. Mum said just ignore them
and then they'll get tired of teasing. They hadn't got
tired yet. I was getting nearer and nearer. My sandals were still
sticking. I was sticking, too. My dress stuck to my bag. My
forehead was wet under my fringe. But i tried very hard to look
cool. I tried to stare straight past them. Arthur King was wating
at the bus stop. I stared at him instead. He was reading a book.
He was always reading books. I like reading too. It was a shame
Arthur King was a boy. And a bit weird. Otherwise we might have
been friends.. to be continued.
Tell me if i should carry on in the comment's:)
