Week 5 - Badge by Ruby


As I waited in the office I couldn’t stop shaking. I don’t know if it was from nerves or the cold but either way I couldn’t stop. “Elaine Haines?” I jumped up and speed walked into the principal's office not wanting to be here much longer. “What’s that underneath your sweater” he said as he poked the lump on my chest. “Oh that, it's just a badge my mum used to wear, I hope its alright to wear at school.” It was hard to speak without breaking down into loud sobs but I held it together. “Do you mind if I see it?” I took my sweater off to reveal my badge. It had a drawing of a flamingo on it as well as the word beautiful written in black paint. My mum used to make badges they were extraordinary I miss her.
