Chapter Five
Out of Bounds
For the rest of the week I kept my head down, attended all my classes, and didn't get into trouble. I didn't make any friends, but I don't think I wanted to. They put the creep in creepy. They were robotic. Clones.
Thank the lord we were allowed out of school on weekends.
I ran.
The shops were full and bustling as I slipped into the crowds. What I didn't know was I was out of bounds.
This is all leading up to something dangerously disgusting. This tale is my warning to never attend Hornwell High, also known as HELL HIGH.
I blanched when I spotted a teacher, Mr Deform, his eagle eyes searching… searching…
For me.
I made to run, but wasn't fas enough. I grunted as Mr Deform grabbed my shoulder and literally pulled me back to the school. My mind was screaming stupidly.
Don't kill me! I'm too young to die! No!
Mr Deform took me to the principal's office. Principal Shaft was short and stubby, with hungry eyes and sharp teeth. Mr Deform explained his version of the event.
I didn't listen. My mind was chanting weirdly. Shaft, Shaft, she'll make us barf. Hungry and thirsty evermore, she'll eat you and you'll never know.
I was convinced she was going to gobble me up.
She didn't, thank god.
"Special detention tomorrow, Mr Hall." She said.
Ugh. Shivers.
