Chapter five:
The End
I woke the next morning and went into the kitchen. I found an old bag of cheese in the fridge and ate in. The cheese had a greenish tint and tasted funny.
I walked to school and when I got there all of the girls were standing around in a circle looking very sad. I reluctantly walked up to them.
" What happened?" I asked.
" Rebecca has stage five cancer," Kandi sobbed.
" What?" I cried.
Just then the bell rang. I sped to my classroom and sat down at my desk. Across the room I heard Susie and some popular girls gossiping about me.
" I heard Peppa's parents died so she had to live in their old house." A girl named Jessica said sassily.
The girls saw me and began to whisper so I couldn't hear them anymore. Then Madam Gazelle came into the room.
" Ha ho!" She shouted angrily. " Peppa, go to detention!"
" No!" I shouted.
" Yes, go to detention!"
I felt angry tears sting in my eyes as I stood up proudly and went up to Madam Gazelle.
" I didn't do anything," I said through clenched teeth.
" Yesterday you did!" Madam Gazelle screamed.
I ran to detention and plopped down on a chair, I was the only student there. Just then the vice principal came in.
" Peppa," he said gruffly, " I will whip you."
He opened a secret compartment in the wall and pulled out a ten foot long leather whip. I felt sick but it wasn't nervousness, it was the old cheese I had eaten for breakfast.
