"Ehhh, Evelyn Lopez." Mrs Carter called, as her and Missy walked into school together with their arms linked.
"Ah full name." Evie cringed.
"I know you've been wearing these since the start of the school year, but I'm really trying to knuckle down on uniform.. and they're not uniform." She laughed looking down at Evie's black and white converse.
"Awk but miss, they're the comfiest shoes I own, can you imagine how much less focused I'd be in lessons with uncomfortable shoes?" She pulled her best innocent smiling face, widening her blue eyes.
"You're a cheeky so and so! Go on!" The headteacher ushered her into the building.
Evie was laughing hysterically in form class as Missy tickled her sides, the class chattered around them. Mr Bell was lost in his thoughts as he watched her giggle with her best mate.
Cory had come into school early to talk to his PE teacher. He told him about Evie and how she hurt herself. Mr Bell was distraught. He knew the twins were struggling but he never thought it would come to this.
"You alright sir?" Zack quietly asked the man.
"Missy quit it!" Evie squealed.
"I can't, I love your laugh too much." Missy winked, continuing to tickle the girls ribs.
"Sorry sir, she can be a right clown sometimes." Zack apologised on behalf of his sister.
Mr Bell chuckled. He didn't care about the racket, he was just happy she was in school and laughing, although he knew she must've been in a very dark place yesterday. His plan was to keep her behind when the bell went and go to his wife's office, he already had his first aid kit in his desk drawer and arranged for Mr Simpson to take over his first class. He hadn't told his wife yet and wasn't sure he was even going to.
But, seeing how happy Evie seemed made him change his mind, he didn't want to put her out of her good spirits.
"Hey Evie! Is it true you've got a belly button piercing?" Zain shouted across the classroom.
"Inappropriate Zain!" Mr Bell shouted rolling his eyes.
"Yeah she does, what's it to you? Wanna see it?" Missy countered back.
"Damn right I do!" Zain beamed.
"Zain!" The teacher repeated.
"In your dreams!"
"She is in my dreams!" Zain winked.
"RIGHT ENOUGH!" Mr Bell shouted. "Straight to isolation Zain!"
"But sir!"
"But nothing!"
"Sir, it's fine really!" Evie protested.
Mr Bell seems super grumpy today. She thought to herself.
