ANNA


Sorry for the delay on entry number two. I was without a computer for a week. However did I survive? Enjoy :)

ANNA
I didn't mean to do it, truly. At first it was just a foolish and fleeting thought, and the next thing I know my fingers are tugging at the handle of the fire alarm­­­−my scapegoat for the afternoon.  Clara had to be warned before she found out for herself. At least I could ease the blow of a painful memory strolling back into her life. Standing on top of the old and rickety rust red picnic table in the courtyard I spot her. What a lost looking little puppy dog my bestie appeared, I thought while running towards her to commence operation break out.

For a second, I lost Clara in the assembly of students. I turned a half way around only to thwack directly into Lewis. Lewis Cole? It can’t be. “Lewis! What are you? I just don’t under…?” “Anna, listen to me right now. Give this envelope to Clara. Straight away. Don’t tell her I was here.” Before I could summon up any sort of response he was gone.
