Mr Furner, the principal comes up to Lizzie in the playground.

"Now, Elizabeth, ummm, yes, now I don't know about this, urrm, style"

"Whatofit" she fires back

"Mind your manners young lady. Now urrm, personally I don't like it, and we, um, we don't think it's a good reputation for the school. You're suspended for a month. That should be enough time to, um, let it grow back again. You know at our school, it's about getting the little things right"

"For a haircut? Righto, sir. Hasta nunca"

So Lizzie walks out of the school. She lives with her older brother rather than her parents, so she won't worry about telling them.

So a free month- why don't you give some suggestions on how do fill out that time, or the rest of her life. Add your thoughts in the comments section.
