In the assembly hall
"O' my gosh, can you believe that two people from our year are going to a boarding school in England," Crissy exclaimed with great excitement.
"I don't really care, I just applied to hopefully get away from my annoying brothers for most of the year," Roberta said unenthusiastically.
"And finally the boarding school scholarships," the headmaster announced. "I know you all have been very excited about this but you all know that only two of you lot have got it, so the two students who are going to England are…," there was a long pause, " Roberta Martin and Scott Wormer!"
Everyone clapped.
Both Scott and Roberta's friends all stood up and clapped really loudly. "Could you two please stay behind" the headmaster said to Roberta and Scott.
After all there friends had sat down Scott looked over to where Roberta was sitting and saw that she was looking at him, so he gave her a smirk. "I'm going to enjoy next year," he said to one of her friends.
" Yeah, you and Roberta going to the same English boarding school, god save the other pupils in your year if you two see each other often," his friend said.
"OK, that's the end of this assembly, get back to your classes."
As all their classmates left the assembly hall they both stayed seated. "Here are your slips for your parents to sign, just remember if you don't hand it into me, signed, by next Friday your place will go to the next person in line."
