A WILD STORY
- Just so you guys know, this is pretty much a Ornshaw x Reader fanfiction, however I have added a character called 'Elliott Jones' to take the main role just to make it a little easier to understand and stuff. -
Chapter 1.
I took the last couple of steps up to Mr. Dicks' office and froze. Shaking slightly, I took a deep breath in, knocked on the door and entered.
"Yes, Ornshaw, Jones' appointment is before yours, however it seems she isn't-". Mr. Dicks turned to look at me.
"Never mind that Ornshaw. Jones take off your bag and blazer, please" He said firmly. I looked round at Ornshaw and he smiled amusingly. There was no chance that I was getting caned in the same room as him. My stomach turned as I looked back at Mr. Dicks shortly before running out of the room and down the corridor.
With deep breaths I began to realize that Mr. Dicks was most likely going to deal with me later, meaning it was Ornshaw's turn; this making me feel extremely guilty. "You okay, Elliott? You look like death!" My friend Janet came racing down the corridor to talk to me.
"Oh, thanks Jan" I said bluntly "Yeah, I'm fine. How are you?".
"You sure? Oh and 'ave you spoken to Ornshaw lately?" She said, a huge grin on her face.
"Well, not really. I... he was just in there, in with Mr. Dicks. Honestly, there wasn't a chance I was getting caned with him there". I said.
"Haha, oh really?" she giggled, pushing her curly brown hair out of her face "I don't see why he doesn't realize that you like him. I mean, it's preeeetty obvious!"
"Is it really?" I asked loudly "I do try to make it less obvious, I'm just so shy."
"Exactly, haha. Anyways, I've gotta go... try talking to him, okay?" She shouted as she walked down the corridor and out of the building.
I shook my head and grinned from ear to ear, "Not gonna happen" I thought, walking closer to Dicks' room. Footsteps echoed from behind the closed door. My heart stopped. leaning against the old, metal bannister, the door slowely opened. Tears rolled down Ornshaws face as he left the room, giving Dicks the V sign behind his back. As he walked away, I came to realize this was the perfect chance and spoke up.
"You alright?" I quivered. Backing away slowly as he stopped in his tracks and turned his head.
"Yeah... Caught me, thought I would have got away with usin' a towel. Dicks is a right merchant, he is. Why'd you leave so suddenly anyways?" He asked, chewing his gum loudly and wiping the tears from his face.
"Oh, I wasn't feeling too great. Uh, Probably just the sight of Dicks though; he has that effect on people" I smiled and pulled my bag over my shoulder. I felt terrible from the sight of seeing him upset.
"Hahaha, right." he laughed "Y'know there's no point going to see him now. Why don't you see him tomorrow or something, sure he wont mind".
I looked down at my feet. I knew that I would be in ten times more trouble if I went through with what he said.
"Just say you were ill or something, it'd be worth it anyway, honest" he said hopefully.
I knew for sure that I'd be punished accordingly for not going to see Dicks, but it would be worth it right? I mean, Ornshaw has just asked me to come out after school with him...
