Carly slowly walked to school it was 10am and she was over an hour late for school. She had Science first with Mr Mead. She slowly walked into school and went into Mr Mead's classroom.
" Good Morning Carly, What time do you call this? Your late again this week and late for my lesson. Why are you late?"
" Emm let me think... The time is 10am yes? Who cares if I'm late and your lessons are boring anyway. I don't have to give you an excuse so get off my case!" Carly snapped.
" Carly this isn't like you. I want you to stay behind at the end of this lesson I think you and I need to chat." Mr Mead said.
" Fine." Carly replied.
The bell had rang for morning break and everyone had hurried out of the classroom and went to the dining hall. Carly just stood there and looked at Mr Mead like he was stupid.
" Okay Carly.. Is everything okay?" Mr Mead asked
" Yes why wouldn't it be?" Carly replied
" It's just I'm a bit concerned as your turning up late to my class, your grades have slipped and your just not focusing in my classes. I know something is up and I'd like it if you would talk to me as you know I'm always here if you need to talk." Mr Mead replied
" Thanks for your concern but I'm fine." Carly replied and rushed off.
Carly's POV
I just can't tell Mr Mead or anyone else. I don't know what to do I'm just scared of what they will say. What if they think I'm weak? What if they think I'm not coping? They will never understand...
Mr Mead's POV
I'm worried about Carly though, Is it worth telling Rachel? There must be something going on. Carly seems so happy though but I can tell she's not she's putting on that brave face. I want her to trust me and know that she can talk to me but she just won't open up and tell me anything but I really want to help her. Maybe it's best to check with her other teachers and see if they have noticed any changes.
