Dear Diary,

Today was the same as yesterday. And the day before. I got up, got dressed, went to school, had lunch, walked home, did my homework, talked to my friends on the phone, went to bed and fell asleep. Well, I haven't fallen asleep yet. It's 3am and I can't get to sleep.

Hopefully I'll fall asleep soon. I have a big presentation in English, and I don't want to be tired for that.

Perhaps I could read my book or something?Well, there's no point, I've almost finished reading it.

Actually, I'll just stop writing and close my eyes, maybe then I'll fall asleep. I'll probably write more tomorrow morning. -Grace

I walked to school the next morning.

The sky was grey and overcast. There was a light rain that made the pavements slippery. I pulled my hood over my head so I didn't get wet.

"Great day to forget your umbrella, Grace." I muttered to myself.

A man wearing a black hooded jumper bumped into me.

"Hey! Watch where you're walking." I said angrily to the man.

He glanced and me. "Sorry." he said quietly before walking away.

I stared at the back of the man's head. I shook my head and carried on walking.

I soon arrived at the school, drenched to the bone. My clothes were soaking, I knew they were going to be uncomfortable today.

My friend Ellie waved at me as I was entering the school grounds. "Hey, Grace. Whoa, you look soaking, forget your umbrella again?" She laughed.

I forced a smile.

"So, nervous about your presentation?" she asked as we walked to our next class.

I nodded.

"Same. But, I figured there's no use worrying about it. It only lasts five minutes and everyone else is doing it."

"But this grade counts to your finals, Ellie. If we mess up, we're not going to get anywhere in life."

"Don't be so negative! They just say that to scare you, my brother said so."

I rolled my eyes.

"Anyway, let's just forget about it for now, we have to go to Biology first."

I nodded and followed her to our room.

We knocked on the door and the teacher, Ms. Taylor, let us in. We were early, but Ms. Taylor often let us in. Especially if it was raining.

I took my seat next to Ellie. "Man, the weather is really bad today. My dad said there will be a thunder storm in the afternoon."

I nodded. "We don't have sports or anything today, we should be all right." I said, looking out of the large window. The window went from floor to ceiling, and it had a great view of the field. There were tall tree and flowerbeds everywhere. In the sun, it looked pretty good. But the bad weather spoiled it.

"You got dirt on your arm." Ellie said, pointing to the arm the man earlier had bumped into.

"Oh, when I was walking to school, this jerk bumped into me, I guess he had dirt on his jacket or something." I replied, scratching the dirt off of me.

Ellie nodded and continued to draw on her Biology book.

"Ms. Taylor will kill you for drawing on your book, Ellie." I said.

"She hates me already. I really couldn't care less what she says. We only have biology once a week, and that's it."

I rolled my eyes at Ellie then looked out the window.

The rain seemed the be a lot heavier and it was hard to see anything that was outside.

I sighed deeply and turned to Ellie. "What time is it?"

Ellie shrugged her shoulders and continued to draw in her book.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and checked. "We have five minutes until lesson starts. Oh, I have a missed call from my mum."

I called the number again and pressed the phone against my ear. No answer.

I put my phone on the table. "Damn it."

Ms. Taylor walked up to Ellie and said. "Why are you drawing on your book, Ellie?"

"Uh..." Ellie started, trying to find a suitable answer.

"Detention." she said before walking away.

"...They give you a detention for almost everything, don't they?" I said.

Ellie nodded and scowled at Ms. Taylor.

"I'd better try calling my mum again." I muttered, typing in her number and pressing the phone against my ear.

This time she picked up.

"Hello, Grace. How are you?"

"I'm fine. I had a missed call from you, was there anything you needed?"

"You left your biology book here."

"Oh really? Great. Can you drop it off?"

"I'm sorry, honey. But I've already left for work, and I'm in traffic, I can't go back."

"It's okay. I'll think of something to say to the teacher."

"All right, honey. See you later."

"Bye mum." I said before hanging up.

"Don't worry Ellie, it looks like I'll be joining you in detention."

"Why?" she asked.

"I forgot my biology book, my mum's in traffic so she can't drop it off."

Ellie laughed. "You're so screwed."

I rolled my eyes as the bell went.

Students walked into the classroom and sat in their seats.

I got a detention for not bringing in my book. My excuse wasn't good enough.

That lesson flew by and before I knew it, the bell for break rang.

I packed up my bags and followed Ellie outside.

"We have English next, right?" I asked.

Ellie nodded and smiled. "You still worried about the presentation?"

"A little bit. But after you told me about it not affecting your grades for the future, it didn't really bother me as much."

"We'd better get to English, we only have a five minute break."

I nodded and followed her.

We took our seats in English and the teacher stood at the front.

She cleared her throat and said. "All right, class. Today is the all important presentations."

Everyone groaned and got their scripts out.

"So, who wants to go first?" she asked.

No-one responded.

I took a deep breath and stood up.

"I will."

Ellie stared im disbelief.

I smiled and stood at the front.

The teacher sat in a chair at the back so she could mark my work.

I cleared my throat and began.

"...Thank you for listening." I said, finishing my presentation.

Everyone clapped their hands as I returned to my seat.

"Well done, Grace. You got an A. Who's next?" the teacher asked.

The lessons flew by, just like Biology. Before I knew it, it was lunch break.

"Remember Grace, we have that detention." Ellie reminded me.

I rolled my eyes. "I don't need reminding." I muttered as I followed her.

We took our seats at the back of the detention room. Ms. Taylor sat at the front, typing something on the computer.

I had been in a detention with Ms. Taylor before. If we talked, we'd get another detention after school, I didn't want that to happen again. But that didn't stop Ellie from passing notes to me.

'Grace, want to hang out with me after school?' It read. She drew a little smiley face at the end too.

'Sure, I'm sure my mum won't mind.'

She smiled and have me a thumbs-up. I rolled my eyes and looked our the window.

There was a tall tree that was being pelted at with rain. It looked like it was going to fall down.

Then, something drew my attention. A tall figure was standing by the tree. He was wearing a hooded jumper, and below the hood I could see shoulder-length blonde hair. He was wearing black, if it wasn't for his bright blue eyes and blonde hair, I would never have seen him.

He caught my eyes and walked behind the tree and out of view.

The man looked at lot like the guy I had bumped into earlier. Could it be the same man?

Hope you enjoyed. Next chapter will be up soon. (maybe today)
