No, Ms Thompson stops her

"Alice what do you think you are doing?" A voice said from behind Alice as she ran through the halls, Alice turned to see Ms Thompson standing with her arms crossed looking annoyed.

"O-Oh hi Ms Thompson I was just um... Well I tripped and got a little muddy so i was just going to clean up and-" Alice tried to explain herself.

"You tripped? and then what? played in the mud for an hour? your extremely late Alice and you look like you did more than just TRIP" Ms Thompson interrupted.

"I'm telling the truth Ms! It was really muddy and raining and-"

"I don't need to hear it Alice, it changes nothing anyway, now explain to me why you think it is OK to walk through the halls like this dragging mud everywhere." Ms Thompson demanded, Alice looked back at where she had come from and could see muddy footprints and flakes of mud everywhere... she hadn't realized she was leaving such a mess behind...

"I-I'm sorry... I didn't realize..." Alice responded shamefully.

"No excuse, you will need to be punished for this Alice."
