I’m surprised he doesn’t tell her or Big Ben to come back. I’m scared they’re both going to get into trouble later today when the teachers and Millennia are back. Le Temps isn’t like a normal teacher at all. Maybe because he plans the land, he breaks the rules. I don’t know what to do because I’m angry Le Temps humiliated Big Ben, and scared Big Ben and Ama will get into trouble. I want to walk out too and do running but I definitely don’t want to get sent home from Leap 2048 for breaking the rules. It would be a disgrace. I hear some buzzing in my bag. I know as soon as I hear the buzzing it must be my TwentyTwenty. What if it’s another Predictive? But I can’t check it. I have to keep my phone a secret. Especially now.

‘Today we shall bake stokbrot, also known as stickbread. Forget yeast. Forget cosy ovens. This is survival food.’

It’s fun. I find it hard at first because it isn’t exactly what it said on the timetable. But it is still breadmaking and I’ve been looking forward to it all week. Though Le Temps might be lying about Season, has confiscated our phones and has an assistant robot with metal teeth, and is bad, he IS a good teacher. He helps us make the dough out of all-white ingredients – flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, oil and water – wind it round a stick and cook it on the campfire.

It’s the best bread I’ve ever eaten.

The workshop is so good I forget to check my phone. It would be difficult anyway because when Le Temps isn’t looking straight at me, Mange-Tout is. I think it’s deliberate. They’re watching me all through the workshop, especially when I’m eating the bread. After that, they aren’t watching me quite as much and I remember but I don’t want to risk it. Maybe it was SOS L. But if it were SOS L, it would be too early. It’s still morning. SOS L is supposed to happen at 11 o’clock this evening.

It’s only on the way back to the centre once the workshop’s over and I manage to get behind the workshop leaders that I’m able to look at my phone deep inside my bag. I don’t want to pull it out in case one of the other pupils sees it and tells Le Temps. A message has come up.

Come to chalet after workshop. Delete this. Ama.
