Lilly Jones did not want to go to school today, she was hiding her uniform in the wardrobe. Lily went downstairs and took onions from the bowl and chopped them; she put them in the microwave. After that, Lilly’s mum came behind her saying “Lily Jones why haven’t you changed?” she quickly replied mum i will do it later after breakfast.

Lilly’s Mum went away, she took onions in her arms and then her body got warm; then she changed her clothes. She tried acting like she was sick or not feeling well. While her mum went in car and sat down and said, “something smells like onions” Lilly Jones replied, “the car might smell, or my lunchbox.” When Lilly’s mum arrived at her school, she hugged her before she went to her class; and said, “Lilly you smell like onions.” Also, at that moment onions in Lilly’s arms fell and her mum was grumpy, Lilly Jones was hoping to go home; but she had to go to school with onions in her arm. She went to the office to get a late note, and she ran to her first class.

The first-class Lilly had with her best friend Emily; Emily was doing her assignment done for English. Lilly was late as usual, she sat down. asked her friend, “Emily what am I supposed to do” as usual Emily Rose replied, “Lilly practice writing persuasive topic about your holiday trip.”

Lilly Jones went out of the class to get her book from her bag, and she borrowed a pencil from her friend. When she sat down next to her friend, Emily Rose smelled something like rotten mushrooms; Lilly Jones quickly replied before someone think she smells “Umm, I think something smells like eggs.” Lilly quickly went to get fragranced red flower perfume from her bag. She sprayed it around the classroom, as Mr. Turtle got angry and said, “Lilly Jones sit down stop wondering around the classroom”. Lilly sat down and onions in her arm fell, everyone in her class ran away making fun of her. Mr. Turtle told Lilly to go to the office to get her clothes changed, so she went to the office.

She told the onions about the office and her morning, the office lady Mrs. Charlie was not happy hearing this; she said “Lilly Jones, everyone needs to go to school; Anway I am not happy hearing this so here is spare uniform for you; give it back tomorrow morning”. Lilly changed into the uniform Mrs. Charlie gave it to her. Then she went to her next class, she had Science; and she was late again. Her teacher Mr. Ryan was standing and teaching about how many layers are there in earth; when Lilly Jones stepped in Mr. Ryan asked “Where have you been? And why are you late?” Lilly joneses stand there thinking of answer.

After a while Lilly Jones told Mr. Ryan about her plan to stay home and the onions, half time Mr. Ryan laughed instead of explaining what Lilly needs to do. Her friend Emily Rose was in other Science class; she was alone but still asked what we are doing. Lilly sat at the back of class and read book instead because she did not know clearly what she needed to do. After Science Lilly Jones had her 1st break, she went to Emily; and she was laughing at Lilly having onions in the morning. Lilly Jones was shy and walked away; after a while remembered having her perfume in her bag, she sprayed it on herself and everywhere. She went to the toilet to brush her hair again into a nice bun. Then she came out to Emily and talked to her about her weird starting day; Emily still laughed at her about onions as a plan staying home.

As the 1st break finishes Emily Rose got her books out for the next class, she got out her math's book; it was double. When the bell went, Emily was the first person to line up; as Lilly Jones was with her this time. They waited for Mrs. Jelly to come she took 10 minutes to come; everyone was inside the class; except Lilly Jones’ class which was year 11A’s. When Mrs. Jelly came as she opened the door everyone ran in; Lilly Jones forgot her pencil case in her bag; she went out to get it. When she came in, she did not have any place to sit. Emily was sitting on the floor, she sat with her. She opened her book and did some math questions.

Lilly’s day went like this, as it was time to go home at 3:00, she was catching a bus home. She was late to the bus stop; she was walking slowly, from there she decided to walk home. On the way home she thought of getting a drink from the shops, she had Slurpee. When she got home, her mum was grumpy about being lazy. Lilly’s dad was at work, so her mum was grumpy giving a big lecture about being lazy. Lilly was asked to clean her room and do her homework. When her dad came home, she was making dinner.

After the dinner Lilly’s dad asked, “how was your day at school?” Lilly Jones replied, “it was good,” her mum tried to add about onions; but Lilly’s dad went away.

Next day, Lilly got up and went to school; her mum was already at work, so she caught a bus to school. She went to school; she was ten minutes late; and did not bother to get a late note. Lilly went to class and did her work she had math's with Mrs., Jelly; she was completing her math's workbook. As the day ended this happened every week, till Lilly Jones Exam Day...

Lilly Jones came to school one day and forgotten about her exam for science. She did not remember anything, but she did the questions she remembered. Then 2 weeks later Lilly Jones got her result she go “C-” and she was said. She thought she failed and talked to her teacher Mr. Ryan, and he said “Lilly Jones you have not failed, you have passed your exam; but you need to study more” Lilly went away and cried.

When Lilly went back home, she went into her room and cried. After a few hours, her mum knocked at her room door’ and said, “Lilly Jones come out, dinner is ready,” but her mum didn’t know she is sleeping. Lilly’s mum went away, the next day Lilly studied hard.
