Chapter 5

Chapter FIVE 'Isadora!' said Zoe the following day when I walked into the classroom. 'How was the maths test yesterday?' I looked at my best friend in confusion. 'I don't know,' I said. 'I wasn't here. I was ill.' 'Oh!' said Zoe. 'I was ill too! I had

a bad sneezy cold. We must have both missed it.'

Then Miss Cherry came into the room. 'Good morning class!' she beamed. 'I hope everyone's feeling better. We had so many of you off ill yesterday that I decided to postpone the maths test until today!' I felt a tiny squiggle of nervousness but this time it was mixed in with excitement too. Miss Cherry handed out paper and pencils. 'Now, there is nothing to worry about,' she said. 'All you have to do is try your best. It's just for me to see how well you're getting on. Nobody will know your score but me.'

Miss Cherry began to read out the questions and I put my head down and focused on the test. Some of the questions were easy and some were hard but I knew that I was getting more right than I would usually. Visions of dancing fruit kept floating into my head, making me smile. It made it easier to think of the right answers! At the end of the test, Miss Cherry said we could mark our own papers. She read out the answers and I only got a few wrong. It felt nice to see quite a few ticks on my piece of paper. 'Wowhoo I got full marks!' whooped Zoe from next to me. 'Well done, Zoe,' I smiled.
