Chapter Five

It was dusk when Nick woke again. The paper was sticking to his cheek and the pencil had disappeared somewhere.
"Hunh- OW!" he said, banging his head on the lamp. Trying, but failing, to focus on the clock, Nick got up and closed the window, as it was getting chilly. After that, he fell asleep again.
***
Nick slept late that morning, and it was 8:20 by the time he woke up.
Realizing he was late, he got dressed, grabbed his things and was out the door in record time. It wasn't until he had run all the way to school that he remembered that school started late on Thursdays, ad he could have just taken the bus. Nick groaned.
"Hey, at least ya get the exercise!" someone called out. He whipped round, but no-one was there. Probably just a hallucination.
***
At about midday, the princapal came in, a girl with long red hair trailing behind.
"Oh, good morning, Mrs Lucafont." Said Ms Lori, looking up from the work she was marking.
"Good morning, Ms Lori. Nice to see the students working so quietly."
"Yes, I have a treat planned for tomorrow, but they all have to be good." There was a small smile on her face.
"Don't spoil them though!" Replied Mrs Lucafont.
"Anyway, I've come here with a new student. She says she's been here before, but not for many years." By now, quite a few of the students had looked up, Nick included.
'Could it be...?' he wondered, but decided against it.
"I'll just leave her here with you. And don't worry about the uniform, one will arrive soon." The last comment was toward the girl.
"Kay." Her voice was pretty, and her smile was genuine. She turned inwards and stood there akwardly.
"Okay, there's a spare desk over there, and you'll just have to do your best."
"Thank you."
"Also, do you have a book to read, as we're kinda in the middle of a test."
"Yup." The girl nodded and pulled a book out of her bag. Nick noted that it from the Harry Potter series.
She had just begun to read when Ms Lori asked another question.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to ask, what's your name?"
The girl looked up from her book and said,
"Kirri. My name's Kirri."
