Effie stared around the office, and lookied at the equations on the blackboard.  "Gosh - that looks complicated", she thought to herself.  Then she was aware that Miss Rogers had locked the office door.  "What has she done that", she wondered, casting a furtive glance over to Gemma who was also looking slightly pensive.<br/><br/>Effie wondered about speaking up for Gemma - maybe pleading that it was their first day and they didn't properly know the rules.  But despite Miss Rogers kindly face, Effie thought that maybe she would not be condusive to such discusisons, and she may end up in trouble herself.  She resolved that if Gemma was given lines to do, then she would help her out - it was something that friends had done at her old school.<br/><br/>"Effie, I think it will be instructional for you to remain here while the punishment is carried out", she heard Miss Rogers say.  Effie shuffled uncomfortably, chewing on the end of a pigtail - she did not feel at all comfortable about this.<br/>
