WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE COLOR?
>>Chapter 4<<
I get to class late, today.
"Miss Travie, you're late," my english teacher greets me in the warmest way.
"Yes Mr. Corelly, I know," I reply with irritation in my tone.
"Well, I look forward to seeing you in my class after school," He says wile pinting at an empty desk, signaling me to sit down.
I walk over to the desk and Mr. Corelly starts us off with a lecture about Lewis, Clark, and Sacagewea. I listen for the first part, but then my miind starts to wander. I think about the last time I was late to class.
"Mommy, when is daddy coming home?" my young sister sks my mother.
"He's, umm, he's on a long business trip," she tries to console her, but even I can't deny that I've been crying all night.
"A business trip?" my sister sniffles, while twirling a peice of her long brown hair in her fingers.
"Yes dear. Remember when Daddy went all the way to Ontario?" she nods, "And he told you about how cold it was up in Canada?"
"Mhhm," she agrees
"Well, this is like then, only he went even farther,"she says, bent over, fixing the collar of the little girls shirt.
"Farther?" she asks, the slightest pout on her lips. You can tell she's trying not to cry.
"Yep," my mother smiles.
"Can we visit him?" she pleads, eyes wide.
"Yes, of course sweetie. Just not too soon, okay?" she stands back up and looks at me, "Ella."
"Ella!"
"W-what?" I snap back to reality and the first thing I hear is the class laughing. Mr. Corelly is standing infront of my desk, face red with the vein on the side of his bald head sticking out. He's mad. Well no dur, Ella! "I mean, yes, um, Mr.- Mr. Corelly?"
He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He opens them. They look evil. "I asked you a question," He says, voice calmer now, it's almost scary.
"Um, yes." I mumble, pushing my black shoulder length hair out of my eyes.
"And do you know what that question is?" he questions.
"N-No," I say, scared that he might bring a whip out and slash me with it.
"Hoo-hoo. Okay. Well, I guess that'll be 2 hours after school," he turns on his heels and nonchalantly strolls back to his desk. His face in normal shade by the time he gets there. The class is stil mumbling and giggling to eachother, and Mr. Corelly shushes them. I slump down in my chair, trying to make my self invisible, though it doesn't work.
The bell finally rings after what seems like forever, and I quickly stand up out of my desk.
I try to leave the class with the rest of the group but then Mr. Corelly calls me from behind.
"Ehem, Miss Travie? A word, please."
