The next morning

After having a night filled with countless unsuccessful attempts of trying to go to sleep, my alarm sounded which meant I had to get up and start getting ready.I dragged myself out of bed and started pulling on my uniform. I then did my hair and make up before going downstairs to get some breakfast. I went down to find both mum and dad going back and forth trying to get everything together.

"You alright love?" Rachel placed a hand on my shoulder and looked me in the eye.

"Yea I'm fine. Just a bit tired."

"Were you fine after me and your dad went downstairs?" Mum mustn't have believed that I was fine but I just wanted to be left alone in all honesty.

"Yes! Nothing is wrong mother!" I snapped, grabbed my bag and walked out of the door and made my way to school.

Max looked on in surprise as he had never know Pandora to be one to walk off like that, "Something's clearly wrong with her. I'll leave it for now as it'll just annoy her more." Max admitted to both himself and Rachel.

"If something is wrong, we can't just leave it Max!"

"And if we keep pestering her, that'll just make matters worse. Let her cool off and then I'll speak with her later on today." He promised as he expected Rachel to react like this. He would speak to Pandora when he felt that she wasn't going to snap any second whenever that may be. Even if that wasn't today.

I was in PE with Mr Clarkson and even though I was tired, I think a bit of cold fresh air was actually helping with the fact that I had got nearly no sleep. I was still unable to participate fully but I just helped Sir. This was by mainly getting equipment and helping my peers by explaining the technique of whatever we were doing. I enjoyed doing it.

"You okay Pandora?"

"Very well thanks. Just can't wait til I can actually play."

"You interested in joining any of the teams? We're always looking for new members."

"Do you have a football team that I could join?"

"I don't see why not. You'd have to come along to a trial when you heal but it's just to see what your strengths are."

"Brilliant! I think it's another fortnight til it's been six weeks but I might put it off a week just to be safe."

"No prob. Just let me know when you'd like to try out and I'll arrange it."

"Will do. Thanks Sir."

He gave me a smile before blowing the whistle to end the game that the kids were playing. I was being a referee for most of it because they were playing football and I knew the rules very well due to me playing before. I loved sport both as a way to chill out but I also played competitively whenever I got the chance. Trying out for the football team would definitely be something to look forward to.

"Has Pandora been okay Tom?" Max decided to speak to everyone who had taught Pandora today. It was lunch time now and Pandora had been to two lessons. PE and French.

"A pleasure. She said she's going to try out for the football team when she's healed."

"Good news. I know she'll be a valuable member."

"Well she needs to try out just so I know where would be best to position her."

"You'll have to let me know how she gets on. She's always loved sport."

"You can tell. Even though she's still recovering she wants to get involved as much as she can."

"Thanks Tom."

Max then went to go and see Miss Haydock to find that Pandora had been a bit side tracked but she was still working harder than most people in her class. Max then decided to go and inform Rachel. It was clear, to him, that Pandora was just a little stressed this morning as nothing had changed in her classes.

I was in English with Hopewell which was when my dad asked to speak to me.

"Hey. Is something wrong?" I asked as soon as I shut the door behind me.

"No. I just wanted to check you were okay after this morning."

"I'm fine thanks dad. I just didn't appreciate being pestered when I had barely even woke up after last night."

"Okay. No problem. I'll see you later."

I then walked back in to find that the room was in chaos but I sat next to Karla (and in front of Philip) and we spoke about stuff in general. We did nothing in lessons (due to Hopewell spending all her efforts on attempts of control) so we just went on revision sites like Bitesize at home. We'd all talk on Facebook, helping each other and having a laugh. It was much better than trying to learn here.

After lesson finished, I left the classroom to see mum waiting for me.

"Pandora can I have a word please?" I instantly thought, 'oh sugar' as I thought she was just going to have a go at me after me snapping at her this morning. I went with her to her office and sat down, noticing Max was sat at the main desk.

"I just wanted to apologise for pestering you this morning. Both your father and I know that if anything is wrong, you would tell us eventually. I was just worried about you."

"It's fine mum. I'm sorry for snapping at you."
