Lunch Time

We weren’t supposed to be down the far end of the school grounds. But the Gregory twins had chased me all the way. They’d left shouting they’d find a teacher to tell on me.

The hedge growled, shaking its twigs. Scary, but I was more frightened of the Gregory twins. I took out my lunch. The hedge snatched the sarnie. It wasn’t interested in the bread. But it devoured the ham. I held out my finger, pulled back before it could take a bite out.

I laughed. The Gregory twins smelled like pigs. Next time, I’d make them follow me.

I’ve changed my theme. What do you think? Better, or is the sidebar too distracting?

  7. Now there’s a plan! This little victim isn’t going to give in to bullying. I bet every victimised child wishes they could find a man-eating hedge to lure their persecutors into. Very clever.
