Sorry this chapters really short. It's kind of random

On Friday morning, I woke up early to drop Ellie off at nursery. Mum had already left and Sid was still in bed. He

I hurried down the road, because even though school doesn't start until 9, Ellie always wants me to wait with her until her friends arrive. She may be confident in other situations but she hates being alone or with people she doesn't like.

I dropped her off and her friend Sunny was already there which meant I was in school early.

'You're here early today, Toots,' Teacher commented as he came into classroom carrying a big bag of books, videos and pencils.

'Umm,' I muttered, not really paying attentions.

'You're usually late, how come?'

That's my secret, I thought to myself

'Just am.'

'Where's Sid?'

'In bed,'

'Does your mum not wake you up at the same time?'

'No,' what was this? A police interrogation?

'Oh, right. Good morning, Cuthbert!' Cuthbert had wondered in and had launched into a complaint about the boys kicking him.

'Oh dear, I'll tell them off later,'

'Oh, thank you teacher,' Cuthbert grinned strangely. The Beano was right about him being a teacher's pet.

At half nine, everyone else sauntered in. Danny flopped down next to me.

'Hey Toots, we're going to the shops later. You coming?'

'Sure,' I said. Mum was picking up Ellie today. She had the afternoon off.

'Got any money?' Danny inquired

'No,' I replied, suddenly realising I'd left my purse at home.

'Oh, well, that doesn't matter. We won't be needing money,' He grinned and wandered back to his desk.

I don't think it will go down well with Mum if we get arrested.
