IN AT THE DEEP END |
"Well, Miss Lovell, this is most unexpected," Diane gloated sliding the whip into the top of her boot. She strode forward and pushed Julia back against the wall and slapped her hard across the face. "Now you're going to get what's coming to you", she hissed aggressively, at last having the chance to vent her anger at having been passed over for the promotion to Deputy Head, that she considered was rightfully hers. She went to grab Julia, who reacted quickly enough to push past her assailant and run down the corridor to the main doors out of the school, which she now found were locked. Hearing the approaching echo of high heeled boots, she fled into the gymnasium changing room. Getting to her hands and knees, she squeezed herself into one of the metal lockers and froze as Diane came into the room. Any sound made by her rubber clothing would surely give away her hiding place. Terror gripped Julia as she heard a heavy piece of furniture being dragged across the floor and wedged against the locker. Diane left the room with cruel laughter and sneered "see you next term, you stupid little fool". |
