7. The sad outsider
The next morning she got a reprimand from the principal, who was informed about Sarah's stay away from the lessons.
When Sarah was with Catherine, Alicia and Hannah in the breaks, she was silently thoughtful. The girls would never get to know what she was in reality. What she did instead of going into a movie house or quite normally dates. They never were allowed to know that she hung around at cemeteries in the night. It would stay her secret. A secret what the girls excluded, which excluded herself from the unconcerned life of her friends. And this made her sad and angry at the same time.
Whenever the girls asked her, if she would like to meet them and do something together, Sarah refused with the reasons to have no time, no interest or house arrest or she said that she already had something else to do.
It hurt her badly in the heart, when she told them these lies and it hurt her more to see that the three girls went out without her and had fun together and then told about their experiences.
And that was why that the girls turned away more and more from Sarah, because she never went out with them.
So Sarah was more or less alone at the school yard. She was still near by the three girls, but she had nothing or hardly to do with their lives. She carried on her own lonely life.
So some time went by.
Meanwhile she had begun the training with Monsieur Londres.
He showed her, which weapons she had to use. Besides her fighting skill and her will to survive, the stake would be her mean weapon. So Monsieur Londres trained Sarah in her reaction and condition: she had to run many miles to keep fit. And that, where Sarah wasn't so sporty. Then she should fight against him with a few kicks and beatings, which Monsieur Londres had taught her. She did it quite good for the first time, so that Monsieur Londres noticed contented that Sarah would get a good Slayer.
