Second chapter of my story of how Sophie & Sian became friends :3 Don't like this chapter but I have writer's block.
Dislclaimer: I don't own anything except my idea.
Sian nearly stumbled from the inside of the van in her hurry to get out of the van. It had been even colder in there than it was outside and Sian couldn't help but appreciate the fact Weatherfield High hadn't been miles away from Coronation Street.
Her dad was far too busy in the mornings to drive his daughter anywhere. In fact, her father was far too busy to do anything for his daughter it seemed.
Divorcing with her mum wasn't easy on her dad but the fact they were no longer screaming at each other with their daughter hiding in the corner of the room, covering her ears, seemed for the greater good.
There was a clatter of footsteps behind her and she was roused from her thoughts to see Sophie growling at a puddle she had just put her foot in.
"Later, Soph," Kevin said as he shot his daughter a look before putting his foot on the accelerator and pulling away. The Webster girl didn't really care as she fussed with her wet tights before realising she was never going to get anywhere and sighed. Sian rolled her eyes before turning around and walking away from the brunette.
Kids were filtering in through the gates; the last minute stragglers. Sian was not notoriously late, nor was she one of those people who would be ready and present before the teacher had got into the classroom.
Sophie just stood and watched as the blonde girl walked away. She hadn't even thanked her for the ride. Scoffing, the hoisted her bag higher onto her shoulders and glanced up at the school.
Sian tapped her fingers on the counter as she waited for the portly woman to turn and realise her presence. Turns out she wasn't down on the register for her English class so the teacher had sent her down here to confront them. So she was feeling a little invisible at the moment.
Just then there was the sound of a bag hitting the door and Sian turned to see the brunette from earlier entering the room, swinging her bag around onto her arm so she could pull something out of it. She seemed to just ignore Sian as she strode closer and slammed a sheet of paper down on the desk.
"Gloria!" She said loudly, causing the fat woman to jump and spin around. Well it wasn't really a jump. Sian herself was a little alarmed. The receptionist was the nearest possible body firm comparable to a circle, she had several chins and gasses that looked a little too set into her face.
"What is it, Webster?" She said wearily, approaching the desk. Sian just stood there like a mute, not wanting to point out she'd been waiting a good deal longer in case the brunette snapped at her.
"This girl's waitin'," Sophie said finally as she looked over at Sian. The blonde had the same confused face as the receptionist due to the girl's behaviour.
"What is it?" The rounded woman questioned finally. Sian paused before reaching into her bag and holding out her form. The woman took it then frowned. "What's this?"
"It's my form I filled out an' sent off months a go and I was told I 'ad a place but I'm not on the registers an' that," Sian explained as she pointed to a section on the paper. Sophie smirked. She knew how she felt. Her mum had nearly ruined her time in school by not sending off her application appropriately.
Gloria, appropriately named after the hippo in Madagascar, examined the form once again before dropping down into her seat and tapping on the keys on the computer.
"I'll send an email around, Miss Powers," The woman said as she glanced up, sausages still tapping away. "They'll have you down soon enough," She reassured with a false smile before looking away. Sian grinned, glad with the news. That was until Sophie coughed loudly. Gloria glanced up with a bored expression.
"I've got the wrong timetable, I dunt take French no more," Sophie said shortly. "I was allowed to swap it for drama," Sophie wasn't exactly the world's best actress but the GCSE short list hadn't exactly been abundant with subjects she wanted to do.
"There's always something with you," Gloria huffed as she pulled the timetable from Sophie's hands and tapped on the mouse.
"You know it," Sophie said happily before looking to the side and noticing Sian's eyes on her. "What?" She asked quickly, quirking an eyebrow. The sound of a printer buzzed in the background.
Sian looked away in a rushed manner, letting out a short breath. There was the sound of paper being slid over wood and Sophie turned to collect her new timetable. She glanced at it then groaned.
"PE," She groaned, glancing at Gloria. "Seriously?" Smirking, the fat woman turned away. Sian blinked.
"I have PE too," She said quietly. Sophie quirked an eyebrow. Was she supposed to care at this new revelation of information?
"Right, well," Sophie smirked and took a step closer. "I'm dangerous wih a hockey stick," She added quietly before chuckling and walking past the blonde, swinging her bag up onto her shoulder. Sian just stood, mouth slightly open.
"You should have met her sister," The voice of the Gloria said from behind the desk. "Ten times worse," She revealed before shrugging and turning away. Sian swallowed and fiddled with her sleeves before relenting and exiting from the office.
The bell rang at that moment and soon enough the corridors filled with bodies beside her own. She spotted the slightly arrogant brunette leant against the lockers. Sian felt a little overwhelmed to be honest. She knew nobody and the only person she had spoken to was Miss 'Ice Queen, I'll smack ya one with my hockey stick if ya get too close,'.
Well she'd meet people soon enough wouldn't she? A boy strutted past her, deep in conversation with another. Sian shot him a glance, seeing the way his black hair fell across his eyes.
He wasn't exceptionally tall or heavily built but it was the guitar case on his back that seemed to have done more damage to Sian's body. As soon as the corridor had filled it had begun to empty. Sian bit her lip then pulled the map out of the side pocket of her bag.
She didn't want to ask anyone where the PE department was as they''d probably just snap in her face. Her map would have to be her guide from then on.
They were are :3 Revieeewwwww lovelys.
