The next day, Katie woke up at 10 o clock, due to the sun shining through the blinds and onto her face.
"What's the point in blinds if they can't even keep the light out?" Katie grumbled to herself, as she gingerly pulled the cover's off of her. She swung her feet off the bed and onto the floor, throwing on a black hoodie as she left her's and Carmen's room. By the time she got downstairs everyone was having breakfast. She plonked herself down into the only spare seat between Faith and Tee. She poured some cereal into a bowl and then poured in the milk. Johnny was banging on about the time when he ran a half marathon with no training, while Electra made the occasional remark about the state he was in once he'd finished.
"Katie, why did you leave Nigeria?" asked Gus, the shock of being asked made Katie choke on her cereal. She cleared her throa by drinking a glass of water.
"It doesn't matter." she sighed, disregarding Gus' curiosity.
"Yes it does! I need to add it to my notebook!" said Gus, who was getting increasingly frustrated by the fact that she wouldn't answer his question.
"No you don't!" said Katie, as she stood up from her seat, with her hands still on the table. "There are some things you don't need to know!" She snapped, as she stormed out of the living room.
"Well done Gus now she's gone!" groaned Carmen, as she heard the front door slam.
"She wouldn't 'ave run away, I didn't 'ear 'er go up ta stairs or collect 'er stuff." said Liam, who had a mouth full of cereal
"Why is Katie in care anyways?" asked Tyler, as he fished for the remaining pieces of cereal in his bowl.
"I don't know."
"But, I think I know how we can find out." said Electra, as she put her bowl in the dishwasher as hurried upstairs, Faith, Carmen and Tee went after her to see what Electra was up to.
"Why are you rummaging through Katie's things?" asked Faith.
"So I can get some sort of idea as to what happened." said Electra and she went through Katie's backpack. There were hardly any things to begin with, about 2 pairs of jeans, both ripped, and a few long sleeved tops. Electra managed to find a bottle of concealer as well. "What would give her scars?" Electra asked
"She doesn't wear concealer." said Carmen
"She could've worn it on her body." said Electra.
"Stop going through her things Electra!" Tee snapped, snatching Katie's backpack from Electra's grasp.
"Yeah besides, I hated it when you guys went through my things." Sighed Faith.
"That was Electra and Lily." said Carmen, "I didn't have anything else to do with it.
"Well how else are we going to find out? Talking to her?" said Electra
"Remember how off you were when you went through Faith's stuff!" said Tee.
"Found a pack of bandages and brown contacts." said Electra, holding them up
"Why the hell are you going through my things?!" Katie snapped as she barged through the room
"Because you won't tell us why you're in England!" said Electra
"Well you're not going to find out by playing detective! Besides, why do you even have to know? Just answer that." said Katie. Everyone was silent, trying to find a reason. "That's what I thought." she said, grabbing her things from Electra, putting them back where they went and storing out again.
"Katie, quick word?" asked Mike, as he bumped into Katie.
"Fine," she sighed, following Mike into his office.
"While you're here we need to get you to start school." Stated Mike.
"Is that it?" she asked.
"No, we need to get you a uniform and until you're 16 you're going to have a clothing allowance."
"But I have enough clothes." said Katie
"Not enough if you can fit them all in a backpack." Mike pointed out. Katie sighed in defeat.
"When do I start school?" asked Katie.
"Monday, Gina's going to take you to get your uniform."
"When?"
"Now if possible."
"Fine." said Katie as she rose to her feet and walked out of the office. "GINA! I'M READY TO GO!" She bellowed at the top of her voice, loud enough to beat Gina in a shouting match.
"Alright then, let's go." said Gina. Katie nodded and climbed into the car. As the car moved, Katie wondered what school would be like in England, she hadn't been to any school whatsoever for about 3 months. The car ride to the school uniform shop wasn't far away. Only 10 minutes or so. She sighed as she walked into the store, looking at all the school uniforms.
"Katie, the uniform's over there." said Gina, as she pointed to the correct uniform, on the other side of the shop. Katie looked at it, thinking that it wasn't as bad as she thought that it would be. Katie went over to where Gina was pointing at.
"Hi how can I help you?" a shop assistant asked Katie.
"Umm I need to find a uniform in the right size." Katie replied.
"Ok, come with me." said the shop assistant, after scanning Katie and picking a few items. Katie checked the assistants name tag, she was called Sam. Sam handed Katie a few skirts, tops, ties and blazers. After about an hour and a half of trying on the exact same things, Katie managed to find a uniform.
"You should gain some weight! These sizes are equivalent to a size 6!" said Sam. Katie dropped her head in embarrassment. Katie had always been the tall and thin type. She took a look at herself in the mirror wearing the full uniform. It consisted of a white button up shirt, a grey skirt with a black stripe at the bottom, which went to a few inches above the knee, with a flame red tie, and a black blazer, with red pocket and red on the inside to match the tie.
"Does it look alright Gina?" asked Katie
"Yeah it looks fine babes. Now take it off so we can pay for it, yeah?" said Gina, Katie nodded and went back into the changing rooms. She threw on her black leggings, purple hoodie and chestnut brown Ugg boots. She handed the uniform to Gina and they went and paid for the uniform.
"Maybe school will be a good experience." Katie muttered to herself as she clambered into the passenger seat.
