An Old Story 013

"Hey! Wait for me!" the girl was running towards her.

"Uh o." Erin said to herself.

Erin was back at school after 2 weeks of holiday. She was once again back in uniforms along with her blue schoolbag. She was just going to her classroom when she heard the girl. She had forgot to meet Jayme at the bus stop.

"I nearly got caught by the prefect! Where did you go?" Jayme nagged at her while panting.

"Oops. I'm so sorry Jayme. I totally forgot about meeting you. But we'll going to be late for class." Erin pulled Jayme's wrist and they headed to their class.

As soon as they sat down in their seats, Miss Kayla walked in.

"Where's Miss Leila?" Erin whispered while Miss Kayla was teaching Mike how to sketch using a traditional 2B pencil instead of his favorite mechanical pencil.

"How would I know." Jayme said while drawing a portrait of her favorite character from Lizzie McGuire.

"She's never coming back." Charlie interrupts sarcastically.

"Why? Please tell me, the one and only gossip girl." Erin put on an innocent smile.

Charlie came closer to Erin and said in a low tone.

"She's a murderer."

"Impossible. Where did you even get that?" Erin and Jayme said with confidence. Both of them knew Miss Leila. They would go to her house every fortnight to bake cookies and pies.

"It's true! I saw her with bloody red hands when the police came and pushed her into the police car. Who would knew Miss Leila is such an evil person." Charlie said and walked away when she saw the two girls with stares of wanting to beat her up.

"Girls, can I see your drawing?" Miss Kayla was standing in front of them.

"I drew a pikachu." Erin was slightly embarrassed with her pikachu when she saw Jayme's beautiful portrait.

"It's quite good, Erin. How about you, Jayme?" Miss Kayla smiled.

"Here" Jayme handed her drawing to the teacher. "Miss Kayla?"

"Yes?"

"I was wondering, where's Miss Leila?" Both Jayme and Erin were eager to know where is she.

"I'm not sure, but she said she won't be back for quite awhile." Miss Kayla said while thinking what was Miss Leila, her best friend up to.

Suddenly, the speakers along the corridors rang.

"Good morning my pals! It's eleven o'clock and recess time. I hope you are hungry, cause the canteen's menu includes Mexican tacos and burritos. To our teachers, please don't give us too much schoolwork since it's just the first day of school."

It was Ricky's voice. He was the DJ for this week.

The school has a special radio DJ room for a program to let students report what is happening in the school. Each week, a student will be the DJ and report ongoing activities for the week, notices and school announcements. They are allowed to discuss anything they want as long as it's educational. The school does let loose in the morning, where the latest songs will be broadcasted every morning for 2 to 3 hours.

"Well class, I hope you finish your drawing and hand them in by Wednesday. Thank you." Miss Kayla said as the students exited the class for recess.
