As I had never expected to wear one of these sashes I did not let it register with me, so I had no alternative but to leave the office.
As I was leaving I turned to Miranda and told her that I would remember this.
She immediately told me to stop where I was as she was not going to be threatened by any normal schoolgirl.
I looked in disbelief at what she had said. Julie looked away as Miranda walked over to the desk and picked up a referral slip to the next prefects meeting, which was to be held that afternoon, handed it to me and said that she would be calling Julie as a witness to the fact that I had threatened her for pointing out school rules.
