Chapter 2

A/N – Yay! Chapter 2! Kyarina has just arrived and stuff! Some Kyarina POV this chapter! Peace xxxx

I really don't care. To be honest, I don't give a flying fuck. Crabblesnitch was rambling on about her behaviour. "Drinking, taking drugs, violence, swearing to members of staff, vandalism, sexual behaviour, attacking police… you need to keep that nose clean, or I'll clean it for you!" WTF? I'll take care of my own personal hygiene thank you very much! She just rolled her eyes and held back her urge to hit him over the head with the brass ornament on his desk.

After the most boring 30 minutes of her life, Kyarina was greeted by a girl with glasses and a green skirt. "I'm Mauli! Salutations! I've been asked by Miss Danvers to show you around, but we need to get you to dorm first. It's Saturday, so there are no classes, so I can show you around later." Kyarina nodded and followed the girl to another large building. She was lead into the main seating area. "What dorm room are you in?" Mauli asked. I looked at a pastel green piece of card. "Room 15" I said. "Me too!" Mauli squealed. "Anyway, I didn't ask your name!" "It's Kyarina. I'm in 10th Grade."

Mauli ran into the congregation of talking girls. She emerged a couple of minutes later with two girls. One of them was a blonde girl with a sporty outfit on. The other was a tall girl in a blue dress. "Hi, I'm Karen! I'm in the netball and hockey teams!" The sporty girl said. "Hello. I'm Candice Gainsborough. My daddy's the owner of Gainsborough Furniture Stores." The second girl said. "Hey, I'm Kyarina, don't bother getting to know me cause I'll probably get myself expelled by next week." Kyarina mumbled before stomping up the stairs and looking for room 15.

I slipped on my dark green dress over my white shirt and my ugly tie. I pulled up my long socks and slipped on my black shoes with a small heel. I admired my handiwork. I had been at Bullshit Academy for a month now. My dress was significantly shorter and that was thanks to Mauli teaching me how to sew. I smiled into the mirror before heading towards the main building. I felt my stomach gurgle. Not this again. I ran to the girls bathroom and threw up into one of the toilet bowls. I cleaned my face and washed out my mouth with water before having a tic tac and heading to English.

Mr Galloway gave us an essay on childhood. Great… I thought about that night, the night that was the final straw. I was hanging around with the 'wrong sort' and they had invited me to a party. I went there and basically drunk a shitload of vodka, did coke and apparently when the police busted us I was fucking this boy with a cute face. I was kept in jail for the night to sober up and mom was livid. So she sent me here to 'buck my ideas up' and stuff. I still hate her, but I'm sorry. And I miss John… I wonder how he is. So I wrote. Wrote about how it all went wrong.

After about 30 minutes, I had to leave. I felt sick again. After cleaning my face and rinsing my mouth again I walked out to bump into a tall boy. "You OK?" he asked me. I had never seen him before in my life. "I guess." I replied tiredly. He rested his hands on my shoulders and said, "My name's Tad. I'm in 12th grade. You?" "Kyarina Mizuki, 10th grade. What brought you here?"

…..

"I'm skipping gym. I shouldn't really because I skipped most classes last year and ended up having to retake 12th grade. Father kicked me out for it." Tad said, "I used to be a preppy but after father kicked me out he got me kicked out of the preppies so now I'm a lone ranger." Kyarina listened. He sounds a bit stuck up, but that's a rich boy for you. "My mom sent me here after I got wasted at a party and spent the night in a prison cell." She replied. Tad looked at her and said "Don't go back to English. Come help me egg Harrington House. Please?" Tad begged. "Fine." Kyarina mumbled.

On the way, Tad told Kyarina about how his dad used to beat him. "So I decided to rebel against him because I'd had enough of him. And look where it got me. Broke and living in a comic store basement that Hopkins gave to me" he mused sadly. "He gave me a hundred thousand bucks and told me to get the hell out. And I need to save that to get a nice house after school's finished." Kyarina nodded and pointed to a sign that read Harrington House. Tad smiled and gave Kyarina a carton of eggs and ran towards a tall brick building. Kyarina followed him, smiling. Finally, someone who kinda gets me. Tad threw an egg at a window. "My old room" he spat angrily. He then smirked as he threw another egg.

"Hwhat are these paupers doing?" a voice shouted. "Shit!" Tad laughed before throwing all of his eggs at once. Kyarina copied him. Tad grabbed hold of Kyarina's wrist and ran towards some trellising at the back of the main building. He told Kyarina to go first. "What, so you can look up my skirt? Perv" she said coldly. "No, so I break the fall if you fall." Tad replied courteously. Kyarina put her foot onto the first rung and began to slowly climb. She reached the top and clambered onto the balcony. She and Tad began to giggle and laugh loudly before a prefect shouted "Get to class!" They lay on the floor and waited for the prefect to walk on before sitting up. They sat there all day, talking. Kyarina kept climbing into the school through the window or leaning over the balcony to vomit, and Tad would offer her a breath mint. By 11pm they had to go, so they unenthusiastically climbed down. "OK, I've got you. Run!" Tad whispered as he led her to the girls dorm. He took her across a shortcut and they ran around until they met another trellis. Tad helped her up and escorted her back to her dorm room, before sneaking out again and riding his bike to his apartment.

A/N – Yay! It's Tad Spencer! I always feel sorry for him because his dad treats him badly so here he is – bad boy Tad! This is set about 3 years after the game so he's about 18 or 19 now. AND KYARINA FINALLY MIGHT HAVE A FRIEND!
