Chapter 11

Kat sat on the grass bank on the playing field, twiddling a little grass plait.
Heidi and Zara were at Lunch Time Clubs, Zara in the orchestra playing the violin, and Heidi at some dance class.
Kat dropped her plait and lay back, watching the clouds drift in the sky.
"Grm."
Kat frowned and sat up.
Dreadlock Boy was there, his beads on the end of his hair clicking together in the wind.
"Yes?" Kat asked, before realising how rude she sounded.
"Mmmm....." He looked deathly embarrassed.
"What do you want?" Kat asked impatiently.
He turned red.
"Shfaelites." He blurted out suddenly.
She gasped.
"I must pretend I don't know what he's talking about." KAt thought wildly.
"What are you on about?" Kat asked, her voice a little to squeaky.
He looked confused and turned his head to the side.
"The shfaelites." He repeated.
Using all her almost non existent acting skills Kat tried to look puzzled.
"Why are you lying?" He asked thoughtfully.
There was something about the way of his calm, un - expressional voice that made Kat's spine tingle.
Kat decided there was no point in lying, but she shouldn't openly admit that she had no clue what he ment.
"What are they then?" She asked matter of factly.
Dreadlock Boy's eyes glazed over.
"Evil. Goodness. Sweetness. Sugarness." He said his face calm and serious but with a slight dull smile in his eyes.
"Evil?" Kat frowned.
The Dreadlock Boy laughed.
"Evil? Ha! Didn't you realise?"
