Everyone was looking at everyone's work and complimenting each other,
“Hey Lilly, you have photos of your Mum and your Sister” Prudence said walking over and picking the one of my sister up. “How did they die again?” She asked
“Yeh, how come I haven't heard this story?” Grace asked. Everyone was looking at me and I syd I had to tell it now,
“We were all having a play date at Prudence's when my Mum was called home by my older sister, Olivia. We all just kept on playing. At about one o'clock in the afternoon your mums decided to take you home but my Mum still hadn't come back to pick me up so I just went down for a nap in Prudence's and room. Then after we woke up Sandra was getting really worried. We drove down to my house and found that there were police cars all around it, Sandra told us that she was going to ask what was wrong. By this time I was screaming because I wanted to know where they were. Sandra came back about ten minutes later saying that the policeman wanted to talk to me, though there was probably nothing he could get out of me. So Prudence came with us because I wouldn't talk to him if Pru stayed in the car. When I saw him I said “I want Livi and Mummy” but he said to me “what is your name?” I told him my name then he talked to Sandra some more and then she told him “leave it to me” then she got us to get back in the car but I started crying again, I wanted to see Mum and Livi. Sandra told me that I was having a sleepover at Prudence's. We went to bed and Sandra was calling all of your Mums telling them about what happened. I didn't sleep very well but that morning Sandra told me what happened. The police didn't know how it happened but my Mum and Sister's bodies were found at the front door by our part time housekeeper, Helen. They were gassed out. I wouldn't talk to anyone for the next few weeks, it was all over the news and your parents and you were basically living at Prus house but I didn't want to play. Then there was the funeral, I just remember it being sad and cold. I don't know if you guys remember but you all came with your Mums and Dads. After the coffins drove away in the car I lost it. I remember you guys and your parents gave me lots of hugs and told me that they would sort out something for me. I got all my things back after it was all de-gassed and lived at Prudence's for the next six months but Sandra couldn't look after me, Prudence and Isabella (Prus older sister) so one day the foster home car picked me up and I became a foster child, moving from home to home. Still seeing you guys regularly since we went to the same kindergarten and then school. But I was never 100% happy. Then that day when I had just been moved to a new girls home and my house lady gave me the letter. I was excited I phoned you guys straight away and found out that you all got in. Then I was given a spending allowance for my room. The day before I left Brook came up to me and said thing to annoy me and I made a snowstorm right there. And now I'm here” I said and they all stared at me.
“I knew peces but never the whole story, how old were we?” Grace asked
“Two or three”
“How do you know the whole story?” Laura asked
“People have told me bits and pieces and I just kinda figured it out”
“How come you can talk about it?” Pru asked
“Well I guess it happened ten years ago and I am just not saddened by it anymore. Also I spent so much time crying over it that I just can't anymore” only Bella was silent
“Bells? You gonna say something?” Lulu asked her
“I never knew, I knew that you were a foster child and that you weren't happy at your foster homes. But wow” she said
“Ok, well now that the sap story is over I'm thinking… Wait, Grace, do you have the clock?” I asked
“Yeah, we just need to assemble it” she said pulling a box with the picture of the white clock with black numbers and hands. We all helped getting the right time on it and putting it above the door, it was six o'clock.
“I'm starving, who wants din-” Bella said but got cut off by an announcement
“Students, dinner in the multipurpose room” Headmistress Clapham said over the speaker
“Huh, it's like she read your mind” Laura said opening the door and clapping so that the stairs would appear. We started walking down and following everyone else to the multipurpose room where there was a table and chairs set for sixteen, we sat down next to each other.
Headmistress Clapham sat at the end of the table and started to talk.
“Welcome, boys and girls, fairies and all, to the last dinner of the summer holidays! I hope that you have noticed the new five students this year?” She said gesturing to us “Now, before we eat I want to say that this year you are not allowed to leave the school grounds without a fairy garden.” there was an outbreak of groning from the older students.
“I am sorry but it is safer for you and since the Blue oak spies are walking around, we don't need anymore kidnappings. I suppose you're all hungry.” She said and sat down just a lots of covered plates oak tree designs on the side of the covers, being carried by different colored glowing lights. After they were set on the table I noticed how one of the lights got stuck under the edge of the plate. Looking closer I realized that they wert lights they were fairies. I helped her out and she gave me a quick fluttery kiss on the cheek. It made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Then we dug in to dinner.
After a delish meal we had to all go back to our blue-corns and get some rest. I snuggled under my covers that night and thought that all was right with the world.
