Ernie Macmillan and the Fistfight

Mr. Ashton, as it turned out, was only too pleased to have Ernie's help and almost an hour later, they were finished cleaning up. They swept the room, cleaned the lacquer brushes, dusted off the machines, tidied the tools and put away the dry jobs. It was hard work, but also fun working with Mr. Ashton. Ernie quickly learnt how to do things and within the hour, they parted ways. Ernie didn't really want to go home to Aunt Molly and Uncle Fred but he felt he must. After all, he couldn't stay at school forever, even if he did want too it wasn't allowed.

As Ernie walked out of J07 he felt a strange sense of satisfaction creeping through him. Until, that is, he walked into Parvati Patil from English and knocked over the trolley she was pushing. Flour, Oil, Butter, Cake Mix, Sugar, Milk and Eggs spread out all across the floor, creating a gooey mess. Ernie knew she was going to be just a little cranky with him. She looked absolutely livid as she wiped the flour from her hair and a teacher Ernie recognized as Mrs McQuiggin walked up behind her.

"Parvati Patil, can't I trust you with anything? I asked you to take this up to the TAS staffroom and you couldn't even do that without making a mess and breaking a rule!" Parvati tried to protest but the Mrs McQuiggin went on "You'll be on detention until 5:00 and then I'll see how you're doing. You don't have to wait for your friend either, Ernie" she said, rather pointedly. Ernie nodded and made to leave but as he did Parvati grabbed him by the collar of his T-shirt.

"You are so gonna pay for making me get detention with McQuiggin! Tomorrow you better watch your back, nerd boy, cuz I'll be chewing on it! You, me tomorrow on the volleyball courts. I'll take you on and then we'll see who's the better person, me or you" She hissed at him

As she walked off with Mrs McQuiggin, Parvati turned around and pointed to him. She then slowly drew her finger across her throat with a deadly glint in her eyes. Ernie was now terrified but he knew if he didn't come to school tomorrow then he'd be labeled as weak. He had to face this girl and beat her at her own game. Even if she had been playing the game longer then he had, he knew a few tricks. After all, the teachers would interfere after a while, wouldn't they?
