Chapter 8 - Cassabianca

I got to school soaking wet, just in time for the gates to be open.

I walk to the back of the atrium where the PE doors were.

The rain was chucking it down, I could hear it hammering on the skylights.

Great.

I had to do PE in that.

I slowly munched on my granola bar as I sat there, in my own thoughts.

I heard the bench on the opposite end being pulled out.

I look and see Baxter.

He grinned.

He said I was early today.

I replied with a yeah.

We chatted about the horrid weather, feeling sorry for ourselves since we had to do PE in that.

Another person joined us.

We all looked like drowned rats.

His name was Alex.

He seemed really cool.

We talked together.

Alex was in most of our classes, so that was even better.

The music went off and we walked back out into the rain.

PE was chaotic.

I'd actually packed a raincoat so it wasn't too bad.

I was the only one who had one.

The other two seemed pretty jealous.

We were playing rounders, at which I breathed a heavy sigh of relief at, since I was quite good at the game.

'Nova wasn't half bad at it either.

Baxter and Alex were on the opposing team.

During the game, I'd managed to score a rounder when batting and stumped out my own teacher.

I'd actually hit Alex whilst batting.

I was pretty proud.

The other two were quite impressed, and they weren't half bad themselves.

By the time we'd all gotten inside, we all were dripping

We chatted to our next lesson and chilled the rest of the day.

Walking home that night, I was pretty happy.

Maxwell actually lived just down the street from me.

I wonder what mother would think of them.
