I was really afraid as to where this was leading. He had that look in his eye, the look I now know to be when someone wants something, when they want it so bad, they will take it, without caring. Just because they can. I knew I had to get home. The buses always ran on a weird timetable.

As I sat on the floor next to zac, staring at me, the overwhelming urge to run grabbed me by the throat. I jumped up, pulled on my clothes as soon as possible and rushed out of the room. Zac didn't call for me, or say anything. I knew this was a bit weird. But as i pushed the door open, a blast of cool summer air lifted my worries, I felt free. The roar of traffic was a welcoming sound, the sound of the outside. I shut my eyes, and felt the air on my eye lids.

~Bzzzzzzzzz~ as my phone vibrated in my pocket. I jumped at the unusual feeling. I grabbed my phone quickly, and read the called ID, #MUM# ah well, i'll answer it, she must be checking to see if i'd got on the bus yet,

"Hi mum!" i said with the cheeriest tone i could force out. I could hear she was in the car with the radio on.

"Oh, darling, i've just hear on the radio, the bus companies are on strike, look, i don't have much time, my credit is a bit low, but i've arranged for you to stay at a teachers house tonight," she tried to continue but i butted in,

"No mum! It's fine i'll just- " As i tried to argue.

"A A A... no, listen to me! It's getting late, and you won't make it home in time, so i've been recommended the best teacher who does this for some pupils when their parents can;t pick up their children. I'm still in London, but I don't want you to be roaming the streets trying to get home. You know what the north is like! So, you do what i say!" She was very convincing.

I knew should would find out,. and really punish me if she found i went home alone, wandering the long dark streets, so i frustratedly agreed. "...ok, mum, i love you" ~beep beep beep~ the phone was dead.

What did i do now? sit around and wait for this magical teacher? Well, if this really had been organised, I had better go to the office to see what's going to be done.

I wandered to the office, and was instucted to sit in the corner, until the teacher came. Then they would 'sign me out', like a parcel or something?... ah well, it didn't matter, i was knackered. The lady at the counter told me, my teacher was doing a detention so they couldn't come right away, and i was lucky to have a teacher agree on such short notice! I almost felt privaledged, that was until Zac walked round the corner to the office.
