MopHead

This is a piece of writing in a form of a diary entry, from Mop Head in Selena's perspective.

MOPHEAD: HOW YOUR DIFFERENCE MAKES A DIFFERENCE – Kiwi Book Club

Dear Diary, something out of the ordinary happened today. Once the bell rang for home time my dad called, to tell me that I needed to stay behind because I had an "R-sto-r-tive Justice" some of his words had been cut off since the phone was old. 

Once everyone left I grabbed my diary out of my bag and started drawing. It was pretty peaceful for a few moments, but then it got boring. As I continued to draw I heard footsteps coming from the hallway. The volume of the footsteps raised higher and so did my paranoia, what if it was a serial killer? or a demon? I quickly hid under my desk and what happened next was way worse. 

The bully and her parents came in, it was Regina George. We were speechless for a few moments until the principal came in along with my parents. The principal Ms Single apologised for being late, Regina and I nodded at Ms Single in a way of accepting her apology

Regina's parents guided her to a seat that was beside me. As you could tell, we both were disgusted. "yous must be wondering why you're here" Mrs Single said in a serious manner. By the looks of Mrs single we could tell that this would be bad.

Regina and I start taking turns at exposing our sides of the story to our parents and Mrs Single. Mrs single started lecturing about forgiveness and difference. 

At last Regina confessed. She looked at me with a sorry facial expression. "I'm sorry Selina, for mocking you, insulting you and making you feel insecure about your bush-looking hair" My facial expression changed as fast as lightning bolt. From a disgusted look to a look of shock. 

Soon after I was awaken from my narrating thoughts and brought into reality. "well? what;re you going to say Selina?" Mrs Single impatiently says. "Oh, Sorry.. I forgive you Regina." I answer. "Good. you both are free to go" Mrs Single says. To be honest, she sounds as if she didn't want us to be here in the first place

We all quietly walk out of the class room. My parents treat me to dinner as an apology. I'm relieved to finally know that i'm being heard, I should do more restorative Justice meetings in the future!

That's all for today Diary, until next time.
