The school day drifted by in something of a haze. Plant photosynthesis in biology, more strange adventures of the Cazorla family in Spanish, followed by double history in which they were learning about how public health laws were passed in the Victorian era to improve sewage and sanitation and keep the streets clean, which in turn reduced mortality from infections.

Fatigue was taking its toll, compounded by the thought of an extended day because of detention. All Edie wanted to do was go back home to bed. She chose pea soup and chicken pie for lunch but ate little and, during the afternoon, fell momentarily asleep as Mr Bowling was explaining simultaneous equations. Ethan’s comments sat in the back of her mind and she noticed two missed calls on her iPhone from unknown numbers.

By quarter past four, as school began to empty, Edie felt completely exhausted.

‘It’ll be fine,’ Edie replied. ‘Thank you. See you tomorrow.’
