Chapter 5:

The girls of 6B barely just got to class when Miss Jenks came in and started teaching mathematics. Miss Jenks was their teacher for English, Mathematics and Science. They all traded looks of relive before starting to pay attention to the mathematics lesson.

Soon, the last bell rang. Delighted, everyone raced out of the classroom, leaving a very confused teacher in class. The late afternoon light casted shadows on the girls as they ran to their dorm rooms. After changing into comfortable clothing, Mitchie, Caitlyn and Ella went to the common room.

When they got there, their friends had already started on the work that teachers gave. "I can't believe Mam'zelle Roger gave us so much French work on the first day!" Gaby complained, placing her books down onto the table. Mitchie groaned in agreement. "Don't remind me, I want to finish as soon as I can." Caitlyn said.

All the 20 6B girls settled down and they begun their work. They were almost done at 6.15pm, 15 minutes before dinner. Ella sighed as she placed her books away. "Finally we are complete!" She exclaimed in delight. All her friends laughed but agreed as well. "Umm guys? Sorry to interrupt, but dinner starts in a few minutes!" Liana yelled.

Chaos started irrupting and screaming was occurring. Finally, all of them relaxed and they rushed to the cafertia for dinner. They got there in the nick of time.

Once dinner ended, the 6B girls returned to the common room. Some of them had other work that they have not finished and sat quietly at a corner. While the others all sat in a circle and begin gossiping. "So Mitchie? Any new interesting songs?" Priya inquired. "Umm Yeah. I wrote this song during Christmas break. It is called 'Friend Of Mine'." Mitchie replied.

"Then let's hear it!" Her friends chorused in unison. Mitchie blushed slightly, picked up her guitar and started playing the song and sang.

I'm a lucky girl, got someone in this world
To tell my deepest secrets to
Fortunately, I got someone in my life
And that someone is you
I like the way you listen to me
When I talk about things that matter
I like the way you always stand up for me
When I'm not around
The way we help each other
Through the crazy ups and downs that happen
A thing like this don't come along everyday
And I just wanna say

CALL ON ME ANYTIME, CALL ON ME RAIN OR SHINE
YOU ARE A FRIEND OF MINE
WHETHER IT'S DAY OR NIGHT, WHETHER YOU'RE WRONG OR RIGHT
YOU ARE A FRIEND OF MINE

Caitlyn got the hang of the song and played some beats on her laptop. Meanwhile, everyone in the common room clapped to the music. Mitchie beamed at her friends.

I'm so proud to be the one you feel you need
'Cause you know we're in this together
We just got a way, we know the things to say
That will make it better
I like the way you bring me in line
When I'm doing something stupid
I like the way you tell it just like it is
And you don't hold back
The way you're always there when I need you
To run and rescue me
Someone like you don't come along everyday
And I just wanna say

CALL ON ME ANYTIME, CALL ON ME RAIN OR SHINE
YOU ARE A FRIEND OF MINE
WHETHER IT'S DAY OR NIGHT, WHETHER YOU'RE WRONG OR RIGHT
YOU ARE A FRIEND OF MINE

When we're walkin' in the mall
And we're shoppin' for some clothes
Talkin' 'bout the guys we know, over colas and fries
And the minute I get home, gotta call you on the phone
'Cause another crazy thought just came into my mind
Gotta tell you right away, got a new CD to play
So just come along my way and don't waste any time
Got some peace of mind knowing
That you're the kind of person
Who'll never do me wrong and we get along .

I like the way you listen to me
When I talk about things that matter
I like the way you always stand up for me
When I'm not around
The way we help each other
Through the crazy ups and downs that happen
A thing like this don't come along everyday
And I just wanna, I just wanna say

CALL ON ME ANYTIME, CALL ON ME RAIN OR SHINE
YOU ARE A FRIEND OF MINE
WHETHER IT'S DAY OR NIGHT, WHETHER YOU'RE WRONG OR RIGHT
YOU ARE A FRIEND OF MINE...

Once Mitchie finished playing, applause went around the room. "Wow Mitchie! You have improved over the holidays!" Chelsea commented. Mitchie blushed with pure pleasure. "Thanks guys!" She said. All her friends also added their thoughts about the song and Mitchie's singing.

It was quite a happy day for all of the 6B girls, aside from the Sunday's organizing of library books. That, no one was looking forward to. And not only that, Jenna was already seeking help from Alyssa, who was awesome in English. Caitlyn sighed. "It is too bad our shopping trip has to be postponed. " She spoke up.

Everyone agreed to that, but they were pleased to help Jenna. There was no way she could shelf all the books in the library on her own.

Finally, Sunday came. When the bells rang, Ella sat up, biting her lower lip. Breakfast on Sundays was 1 hour later, 8.30am instead of 7.30am. Caitlyn was already up quite some time ago and was busy typing an e-mail to Nate. "Morning Cait." Ella greeted, stiffing a yawn.

Caitlyn returned the greeting and turned to look at Mitchie's bed. "Rise and shine Mitch!" She called out. Instead of a reply, she got hit on the arm with a pillow. "Leave me alone Caitlyn." Came a muffled voice under the pillow. Ella raised her eyebrows at Caitlyn.

Both girls smirked and mouth out the numbers. One, Two, Three! Caitlyn and Ella jumped onto Mitchie's bed, tickling her. Mitchie burst out laughing. "Okay, I'm up! Please stop." She pleaded, stiffing a giggle. Her friends got off her, still laughing like crazy, holding their aching sides.

Mitchie shook her head, seeing her friends in such a state. If Nate and Jason were to see them now, they would think something was wrong. She glanced at her cell phone, which on cue beeped, signaling that she had received a message. Beaming, Mitchie snatched it up, expecting a message from Shane like every morning.

Good morning babe,

Today is Sunday, which means that you have to organize the books. I wish I could help you out there. Nate and Jason say the same thing. I will call you later, Hope you have a nice day!

Your marvelous fiancé,

Shane Grey.

Mitchie grinned like a cherish cat after reading the text. Shane was so reassuring. As she looked at the engagement ring hanging on the chain around her neck, her fiancé face came into her mind. She missed him so much. She could see his eyes, feel his hands...

The girl snapped out of her trance and sighed, typing in a reply quickly.

Hey Shane,

Thanks for the text and trying to cheer me up. Have a nice day too! Love you so much and miss you.

Mitchie.

After pressing 'send,' Mitchie hurriedly went to freshen up and change, preparing for a new day ahead. "Hurry up guys! I'm starving!" Caitlyn commented, after claming down.

2 hours later...

All 20 girls of 6B found themselves in the large Alfea Library. Right in front of them, were tapes, glues, stationeries as well as plenty of papers and a HUGE ton of books.

"Now girls, please split yourselves into groups. Since the librarian is not here, all of you will cover work for her. 4 will manage the counter, 8 will arrange the books, 3 will be doing decorations and the last 5 will be doing paper work and computer work." Miss Jenks informed the girls.

She handed the keys to Natalie. "Since the library will not be open, please close up before

heading off to lunch. I will come check on you at 4pm." Miss Jenks gave them a stern

smile and left them at the library. Malory sighed. "Come on guys, the sooner we finish

this, the sooner we can relax." She told them.

They broke off into different groups and started their jobs. But before they could start,

Jenna stopped to say a few words. "Thank you guys so much for helping me." She said.

All her friends gave her a reassuring smile and started their various work.

By the time it was 4pm, the 6B girls had gotten everything wrapped up and completed.

Those who had completed their tasks early helped one another in their jobs. All of them stepped back and admired their work. The library was very neat and organized. Books were shelved properly and neat folders were arranged on the counter.

They were just putting the last touches to the library when Miss Jenks walked in and inspected the work of the girls. "Brilliant work girls! I am very happy to see the library neat. More than that, you all worked together as a form to get this result." Patting Mitchie on the shoulder, she smiled at Jenna.

"You have some faithful friends Jenna. I hope you have learnt you lesson or the next punishment will be worse." She finished and told the girls to go. Cheering was heard among them all and they skipped out of the library. Miss Jenks watched them rushed out, laughing and joking among themselves.

6B's bond is definitely very strong. She reflected, scanning the room.

Felicity, Tori and Brynn all squealed when they plopped onto the couches in the common room. No more shelving books, staring at the computer screen managing paper work for them! Mitchie's eyes went wide when she spotted a plate of cookies on the table. There was a note addressed to all of them saying that this was a reward for their hard work.

Mitchie picked up the platter of cookies and went over to her friends. All of them started snatching them like it was gold. "Mmmm.... chocolate chip cookies, delicious." Wilma said, licking her lips in pure delight. They spent the rest of the evening chatting with smiles, delighted that this dreaded day was over for them.

As it was planned, the 6B girls went on their shopping trip the following week. Each of their parents had generously sended them money for spending on clothes, shoes and jewelry. Mitchie bought just a new blouse and skirt. Her friends however, bought all sorts of things they didn't need for that moment.

When they finished dinner, which was about 7.45 pm, the 6B girls went to the common room to parade their outfits and think about what to wear the next day. "What do you think of this?" Lani inquired, showing off herself wearing a blue tank top with pinks jeans. "It is beautiful!" All her friends chorused. "My turn!" Priya yelled from the bathroom.

Before Priya could show her outfit, there was a knock on the door. "Come in." Darrell said, eyeing on the door. A very timid and frighten second former's head peered in. "Please..." She began. "Please come in! We will like to know if the head has a body." Jenna teased.

The small frame of the second former entered the common room. All eyes were on her as she began speaking. "Please, sorry for interrupting but the headmistress wants to see Mitchie Torres in her office." She said, biting her lower lip when she finished. Everyone's eyes turned to look at Mitchie, who was quite shocked.

No one was ever requested to go to the headmistress's office unless they were in trouble. "Now?" Mitchie managed to squeak out. The second former nodded. "Umm okay, thanks so much." Mitchie answered. The second former excused herself and went out.

"Why would Miss Fleming want to see you?" Alexia asked. Mitchie shrugged, indicating that she had no idea at all. "I better go, don't want to keep Miss Fleming waiting." Mitchie muttered and went off.

There was silence in the common room, but everyone was thinking about the same thing. Mitchie had the best record of good behavior in school. Is she in trouble and why?

Running down the hallways, Mitchie was thinking of the exact same thing. When she reached the office door, her heart was racing 20 times faster than usual. She rapped on the door. "Come in." The headmistress voice echoed through Mitchie's ears. Trying to control her shaking hand, she opened the door.

"Ah Mitchie, so nice of you to join us." Miss Fleming told the girl. "Us?" Mitchie was puzzled. The headmistress smiled at the girl. "Don' be alarmed, you are not in trouble. But there is someone I think you know." Miss Fleming said, gesturing to a figure sitting on the couch.

The figure lifted her head and Mitchie got a good look at her. "Mrs. Martin?" Mitchie was shocked to find Sierra's mother, weeping. She was supposed to be with Sierra in China, why was she here? Mitchie immediately went to the woman's side. "What's wrong Mrs. Martin? Aren't you supposed to be with Sierra?" Mitchie inquired.

At the mention of her daughter, Mrs. Martin sobbed harder. Miss Fleming handed a piece of Kleenex to her and she accepted it gratefully. "Sit down Mitchie. I am afraid something bad has happened." Miss Fleming spoke up, nodding at the chair near the couch.

Mitchie sat down and sighed, trying to comfort Mrs. Martin. Finally, she stopped weeping and turned to look at Mitchie. "I have some awful news Mitchie." Mrs. Martin said, pausing to place her hands into Mitchie. "Sierra passed away 3 days ago." She finished, trying hard not to sob, but failed miserably.

Mitchie stared at Mrs. Martin disbelievingly, then at Miss Fleming who nodded slowly and excused herself to prepare some drinks. In Mitchie's mind, only one sentence was spinning. Her best friend since young, was d...e...a...d?

Cliffhanger! Sorry this chapter took so long, I had plenty of work to complete and stuff.

So what will happen now to Mitchie? Was Sierra really dead and how did she die? All these questions will be answered in the next chapter. Please Read and Review. I spent a long time writing this. I will try to post the next chapter soon, I promise. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
