Rita goes to school

CHAPTER 1

“Rita, you must go to school,” said Mrs Henry. “You are eight and ought to go to boarding school” said Mrs Henry “And you are going to FloraLa School” said Mrs Henry again.

“I am not!” cried Rita. “ I will do naughty things and they will send me back!” said Rita.
But Mrs Henry signed the consent form already! It was clearly written that Rita Henry Amilia will start school on Monday! She will be in First Form Obey 1 (Her class).

“No don’t!” said Mrs Henry in horror.

“NO, NO, NO!” shouted Rita and marched off.

Rhiha Henry Amanda got out of her room. Rhiha was Rita’s sister. She was also a head girl of the school. The school was a kind of school which believe that children should run the school, with twelve monitors on the platform. They were called ‘Jury’. Rhiha and a boy called William were the head-girl and boy of the school. They were called ‘Judges’. It was like a little ‘court’ where pupils own up their own misdeeds. It was recorded in a book called ‘Rhiha’s Big Book’. It records pupils who do wrong things such as stealing.

“What’s the matter?” asked Rhiha.

“Don’t want to go to FLoraLa school? Convince her!” said Rhiha.
Rhiha was only ten and started as a head-girl last term.

“I think I will deal with her,” said Rhiha.

“Oh, that’s my good girl’ smiled Mrs Henry and walked off to pack their trunks. Rhiha’s trunks were very big as books like her ‘Rhiha’s Big Book’.

“We are going to FloraLa tomorrow” said Rhiha gently.

“Shan’t!” said Rita rudely and walked off.

“Oh” thought Rhiha “I have only brought trouble by saying that.

“And Rhiha,” said Mrs Henry “Rita will be very difficult. She said she will do naught things so she could be send home” said Mrs Henry rather loudly.

“Oh, my school don’t care about that” Rhiha said. She was deep in thoughts.

‘’If Rita wants to do naughty tricks, where does she get the tricks from? ‘’ thought Rhiha.
