HORRID HENRY'S CHAIR SCARE

Horrid Henry raced to school as quick as possible. He was late yet again...

   

It was a cold frosty morning and icicles were comically dangling from Henry's nose. Heart pounding, Henry skipped through the corridors dodging bags and in the process scraping his elbows on the wall. He didn't want a detention today: gross class zero was on and he didn't want to miss it.(Again!).

Phew! He had managed to get into the room, just on time! He looked around, ripped displays covered the walls but peeling pink paint peeked out, giving the room a painty reek. Now he was not cold at all: the heating from the radiators was burning him to cinders. He started chatting to Ralf about what had happened...

"Henry why are you so late? "asked Ralf.

"Slept-through-alarm, "panted Henry, who still hadn't caught his breath.

"Henry,you can no longer be trusted to sit by Ralf! Go and sit by Gretel! "bellowed Mrs Battle-Axe. 'Oh great! 'thought Henry.Reluctantly, he went to sit by her, holding his nose.

Gretel was very girly:she wore a frilly, pink dress and her hair was in an elaborate pile on top of her head with a pink bow to secure it.She loved all things girly!Infact, she sometimes wore bows so big that there was more bow than hair!Henry scowled at her."Henry, why are you scowling? "Asked Gretel. Henry's reply only involved one word.

"Cause, "he grunted. Frustrated and puffed, annoyed and despairing, Henry moaned as he saw Moody Margret sitting in the desk next to him.

'Oh great! 'he thought.

Then he had a great idea, the best plot ever!

"Miss, Gretel kicked me," he moaned.

"I did never!" said Gretel, truthfully (Inside however, she didn't want to sit by such a rude boy).

"Then go to sit by Margret!" said Miss Battle-Axe, who knew they were enemies.

"Nooooo Way!" screamed Henry,angrily.

Furious and hot, scowling and growling, Henry sat by Margret.

"I will get you one day!" he hissed.

" But I'll get you back! "Margret whispered.
