Chapter 11: James

I decide not to get anything to eat. I do however get a drink. I’m really thirsty. I suppose I should get used to being thirsty since I’m going to going to Singing every Wednesday and Friday.  I can’t believe how beautiful Chloe sung. I knew she was good but she is really good. The weather’s turning. There’s black clouds surrounding the school in the sky. I make my way across the yard towards Robert, Matthew and Joe. As I come down the steps to get to them Robert grabs me and puts me in a headlock.

“Where’ve you been?” He says. I wriggle out put him in a headlock.

“I’ve been in a detention” I say

“Oouuu” They all say.

“What?”

“You’ve never been in a DT” Joe says.

“I have”

“Yeah right”

“I have”

“I don’t believe him do you Matthew?” Robert asks who has now wriggled out of my headlock.

“Nope” Matthew says.

“Neither do I” Joe says.

“I think you’ve been with Chloe” Robert accuses.

“Well I haven’t”

“Hmmm” Luckily the bell rings saving me from more questions. But I know they’ll just start asking me again.

 

They’re going to find out sooner or later. I’d rather it be later than sooner.

 

I run straight after Chloe once I get out of form.

“Chloe!” I shout. She turns around and see’s me running. Thankfully she doesn’t continue walking. Finally I catch up to her.

“When you asked me if I was going to Singing club on Friday, did it mean that you are going to keep going?” I ask.

“As long as you go yeah” She looks embarrassed for some reason. “Are you going?”

“Yeah, I had fun” She says.

“So did I” We walk into the room and stood at the desk was Mrs Brooks. “Aww, Miss!”

“What?” She asks.

“You beat us here” She laughs. Chloe goes to sit down in her place at the front. She never has any one sat next to her.

“Miss, can I sit at the front so I can see the board better” I ask.

She looks at me like before when I said I wasn’t going to any of the clubs.

“You mean so you can sit next to Chloe?” How does she know?

“Yes” I reply.

“Go on then”

“Thanks Miss” I go and sit in my new place.

“Aww, now I don’t get the table to myself” Chloe says. I laugh.

“Well you better get used to it because I’m not moving” She sighs but as she turns away I see a smile on her face.
