Life Reflections

By Ian Woodhead

Daisy had no idea why the school’s most desirable boy had decided to go out with her but she had no intention of questioning the fate of the Gods.

So that vicious rumour of her Michael being seen in the arms of another girl could not be true, could it?

Daisy and her two friends intend to find out. Their journey leads them to a large abandoned house believed to be haunted.

Their search for Michael suddenly halts when they find that their very lives, maybe even their souls are in danger.
Can they solve the mystery of the house and avoid the ghosts from the past before it’s too late?

Tuesday used to be Daisy Langbank’s favourite day. She had double English, double games plus art and history in the afternoon and best of all, defiantly no maths.

Of course the icing on the cake just had to be the lunch.

Every Tuesday morning at 11 o clock on the dot, the gorgeous aroma of steak pie drifted from the kitchens into the English room, by the time the bell for lunch went, Daisy would be at the front of the queue, drooling with hunger.

She sat on her usual table at the back of the canteen under the large metal windows. Daisy’s head were slumped in her hands staring at this gelatinous grey slop dumped on her plate, wondering how she could have ever found this appetising.

Tuesday would forever now be known as the day of mourning in her books, the day she found out.

Daisy could tell that something was afoot the moment she stepped through the front gates. Denise Murgatroyd, a dark haired girl who sat behind her in history was deep in whispered conversation with a couple of six formers just beside one of the teacher’s cars. She couldn’t be sure but Denise spoke Daisy’s name a couple of times before one of the six formers looked up and saw her approaching them. They all stayed silent until Daisy was out of earshot.

Her mood darkened even further when Justin Dauber pushed past her as she hurried through the double doors, he was already chuckling but when he noticed who he’d almost knocked to the ground, he burst into a hysterical giggling fit. Now Justin laughed at everyone, he wasn’t right in the head, but he also pointed at her too.

By morning break, the shocking news was all over the school, Daisy had heard at least half a dozen stories by the time the bell was sounded for the end of break.

Michael Westford, their year’s most sought after boy, who had chosen plain old Daisy to be his girl for nearly six weeks had been seen in the arms of a stranger on Sunday night.

Daisy’s whole world had collapsed.

A shadow passed across her face. She peeled her cheeks off her hands and looked at who had decided to grace her presence, as if she didn’t already know.

Tracy Holmes dropped her chicken salad onto the table. The look that her friend gave the contents on that white plate could have curdled milk. No wonder the lettuce looked so tired and wrinkled. Her glass of water and gala apple received the same treatment.

How’s the diet going? Daisy kept her voice level, her friend was very sensitive about her weight.

For obvious reason, she couldn’t care less about upsetting or insulting anyone today, even her friends but she kept a civil tongue in her head.

Daisy pushed a processed pea through the congealing gravy with her fork and considered the best way to approach this.

Tracy was bound to have heard the news by now but what Daisy
