“And where else are you supposed to be on test day?” The man - the teacher - tilts his head to the side like I’ve said the dumbe st thing. I glance around at the posters on the wall, the faces of presidents animated with dates beneath them. “I don’t know,” I say, hearing my voice for the first time. I hear a girl’s voice say, “Shut up, Michael.” They’re laughing at me, except I don’t know who these people are. I feel a chill creep up my back and crawl across the tops of my arms.
He slaps them down hard on the desk and I jump. “Where are you going, Miss Wynwood?” The teacher is looking at me over the rim of his glasses as he riffles through a pile of papers. Everyone is sitting, but I’m standing…walking. I am in a classroom, and that is the teacher. There are so many kids blond hair, ratty hair, brown hair, glasses, no glasses…Ī man walks in carrying a briefcase. Where is this? Why can’t I remember? “Charlie!” someone hisses. “Didn’t you see that?” And then, “Charlie…what’s your problem…hello…?” When I look around I think they’re laughing at me, but it’s the girl with glasses they’re looking at.
Before she stands up, she looks at me with something like fear and th en scurries off. Someone is bent over, gathering up books on the floor a red – faced girl with glasses.
I see movement at my feet and jerk in surprise. They slide into desks, their voices competing in volume.
Kids with backpacks walk briskly into the room, talking and laughing. My eyes move left to right as I scope out my environment, trying not to give myself away. I don’t recognize the black sandals, or the red toenails, but they move when I tell them to, so they must be mine. They skid a few feet, whirling in circles, and stop near feet. Books fall to the speckled linoleum floor. Today I’m excited to share with you an extract of Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher, an exciting twisty sounding romance mystery which I just love the sound of from this extract! Below is the first interesting and exciting chapter of this book which will be published on the 28th February by HQ, and I for one can’t wait for the chance to get my hands on a copy and read! 😀 You can read more about the book and the authors below and a huge thank you to HQ for giving me a chance to share this extract, so let’s take a read (I promise, this sounds so good!)…Ī crash.
