“Trevor Tommy.” Erin had
said.
The name echoed in Caitlin’s
mind all that night. She knew who Trevor Tommy was. Trevor was one of those
kids who got all they ever wanted. Caitlin met him in one big celebration held
in Florida, USA in 2008. The man who hosted the party was Tommy Michael, Trevor’s
dad and Mr. Brooks’ employer. The Brooks and Tommy were family friends and that’s
how Caitlin met Trevor.
According to Caitlin’s
knowledge, Trevor was a very intelligent guy and if he was the president of
HAMERTON schools then he truly deserved it. She wondered just how more handsome
he must have grown to be. Since they saw each other, it was past 2 years. Sighing,
she turned around on her bed deciding to catch some sleep. Just then a shutter
of glass arouse her from her bed.
“Ouch!” a painful cry
followed.
Caitlin dismounted the bunk
bed quickly and dashed to where the sounds came from. It was very dim and she
forgot where the light switches of their dormitories were located. Luckily she
could get her torch from her school bag close to the bedroom exit.
She got into a long corridor
that was bordered by many open door rooms. The design, as Caitlin thought was
purposefully used for security, in case there was any problem, the students
will have a quick exit.
She walked to the end of the
corridor where the sounds felt to have come from. There was a staircase and she
swayed her hand with the torch around it. She could see a girl sitting on one
of the stairs collecting pieces of broken glass.
“Are you okay?” Caitlin
called. The girl turned to her and Caitlin waved the torch light away.
“Not really.” The girl
replied afterwards.
Caitlin walked down to her. “What
happened?”
“I was going to take water
and the lights went off. I got scared and my glass slipped.”
“Are you hurt?”
“No.”
Caitlin took the girl’s hand
and lifted her up. She looked down on the glass, “so what do we do with that?”
Just then, a light from one
of the school buildings flickered. The girls could see it from the transparent
glass walls of their own boarding flat.
“Ooh my goodness!” the girl
exclaimed with an inquisitive alarm.
“What?” Caitlin asked
Without responding, the girl
snatched her arm free from Caitlin’s clutch and started running down the
stairs.
“Hey!” Caitlin called going
after her. It took them at least three minutes to finish the stairs and Caitlin
was already panting breathlessly.
The girl hardly halted to
catch a breath and Caitlin chased her to the main school compound. They only
stopped a few times to evade the dozens of guards roaming around the school
yard.
“Why are you running?” Caitlin
asked in a whisper.
“Why are you following me? You
should get back inside.” The girl whispered back. They were standing behind an
oak within the school premises.
“What if it’s trouble?”
“Then they would sound an
alarm.”
“Then why are you running?”
“Are you an MP?”
“What?”
By that time, a guard that
threatened their motion had left. The girl resumed her run and Caitlin
followed. They emerged into the Chief school building and to a staircase to one
hallway. They tiptoed in the hall way to the only two large swing doors
available. These were inscribed;
HAMERTON PARLIAMENT
The girl checked the doors. They
were unlocked. She swinged them open and walked in. Caitlin followed to reveal
an extra ordinary hall.
