“sure I can help but no meta gaming”
I jokingly replied, everything seemed to be going well so far I couldn’t belive how my luck was going. We started the session by introducing abbeys new character and then ffrom their we went on to the cave system that I had created. This was where my skills would truly be shown. I weaved a story like no other about dwarves having used these caves to mine out materials to make explosives for their war against the elves, and how the elves had then sent in nightmarish creatures to clear them out and put a halt to the war efforts of the dwarves. We played for nearly 5 hours unnti eventually we all received the message from our parents that we dreaded
“time to come home tea is ready and you have school tomorrow”
As I read the message my heart sank. This was for the time being an end to my escape. I packed up the things I had brought with me and headed back to my house. I had a pleasant tea of roast beef with veg and mash. During tea I explained to my mum about what had happened during my D&D session and all though she never really understood she always acted like she was interested and knew what I meant. My sister as usual ignored us trying to sneak looks at her phone the entire time. After tea we sat down and watched a film together while my sister sat on her phone through the whole thing I couldn’t help feeling like something was about to change. After the film I got my bag sorted out for school the next day. I begrudgingly packed my r.e book I hated that first thing on a Monday morning I had r.e.
I yet again got very little sleep that night waking twice from my sleep due to the same dream both times it took me awhile to get back to sleep and when I did I found myself back inside this never ending nightmare. I was woken by the buzz and beep of my alarm clock it took me a minute to wake up and gather my thoughts I yet again felt like I hadn’t really slept at all.
The main difference this time was that instead of floating I started in the room covered in scripture from the abandoned hospital. I shook my head in an attempt to clear out these clouded dreams. I then quickly relised I needed to move if I was going to beat my sister to the bathroom. I near on sprinted to the bathroom and just made it before my sister got their and once again I was in my quiet recluse for those few moments. I undressed and looked at myself in the mirror I again thought I saw a mark on my wrist but on closer inspection it had disappeared. I again chalked it up to my weird dreams and not sleeping well at night time. I took the usual route to school and was greeted by both mick and abbey. As sson as I saw abbey my mood and day was lifted, I then also realised that my morning was going to be better as I had R.E with her.
We walked the distance to the school talking about how much she had enjoyed the campaign from the evening before. My plan had worked she seemed to be more interested in me now especially after my campaign. I was glad that she was able to fit in so well and at the same time over the moon that she seemed to like me. As we reached the gate we headed to our usual classroom to hang out before school began. The bell rang and we headed to form. today we were doing something to do with the buddhist celebration of asalha puja. Mrs kilter explained how this day was a celebration of the first sermon of the buddha and was also called the turning of the wheel of law, she also explained how the buddha taught the need to follow a middle way between self indulgence and severe self denial. It was kind of interesting all though not something I would normally take part in. since abbey had joined the form I had been more involved in the different activities even if not directly I tended to listen in more. This was obviously another part of my plan to get close to her.
The bell rang signalling the end of form time and the start of lessons. We always hd to wait outside the class room until the teacher arrived and then we would be allowed in, this was due to the fact that one year a class member had accidentally broken a white board and projector while waiting for the teacher to arrive. As soon as Mr watts had arrived we were allowed in and filed into our normal seats. We all sat down and began the lesson with our normal role call for register. Mr. Watts handed out our worksheet for the lesson and the books we would need to complete the sheet. As usual it was a sheet of 5 questions each relating to what we were currently studying and each requiring at least a paragraph for each answer. After a few minutes Abbey raised her hand. Mr watts asked her what she needed help with to which she replied
