Charlie bone and the forbidden mystery
A/N: adding in vertical seperation lines between people's points of view
Three
Amelia strolled into the garden after leaving her cape on her peg with the older music students. They walked over to her cousin who was standing with the three art students. 'Well the girl is Emma, and one of the boys is Lysander so the other is urm... Tancred?' she thought to herself. As they got there, Olivia ran up to her. "Hey Amelia, how did the music lesson go?" Amelia looked at her cousin and relaxed. These kids were friendly and she could trust them.
"I think it went pretty well. My teacher, who must be Charlie's teacher as well as he was leaving that room when I entered, said I played beautifully and wished others," Amelia replied looking at Charlie when she said this bit, "could play like me." Charlie looked at the ground. He knew that it was him Mr. Paltry was talking about.
Then Charlie said suddenly, "actually she was pretty impressive for an eleven year old." He looked at the younger girl who was looking at him with confused eyes. "I stayed for a little bit to listen to your music. It really was brilliant. I wish I could play like that. Fidelio here," he said nudging his mate in the ribs, "can." Amelia looked at him. She shrugged. It didn't bother her that Charlie had heard her music.
Olivia looked at Charlie with shock. "You're not supposed to eavesdrop on her, "she screamed appalled. She pulled her cousin into a hug. She looked at her. "Charlie has a tendency to listen to things that don't concern him." She told her. Amelia stifled a giggle.
Amelia was trying to suppress her laughter. She couldn't contain it anymore. "And you don't," she burst out laughing at her cousin. She had just told Amelia that Charlie listened into matters that didn't concern him and gave the impression that she knew better than that. Olivia looked stunned at Amelia's comment but didn't say anything. "What about the time that you overheard a conversation between me and my mum about what we were getting you for your birthday and you misheard and thought you were getting something else." Amelia looked at Olivia with knowing eyes. Olivia blushed. She remembered that time but she hadn't expected Amelia to bring it up. Her friends all looked at her, smirking.
"And what about the time that you overheard a conversation between me and Lysander about girls and being annoying and you assumed we meant Lauren when we meant you," Emma piped up from next to Amelia. Emma grinned at Amelia and Amelia returned the smile.
"See, so what can you say to that?" Amelia asked her.
Olivia shrugged. "Nothing. Ok, I admit I'm as bad as Charlie is at eavesdropping but it was your fault. If you'd realised I was there and stopped talking I wouldn't have got the wrong impressions." All Olivia's friends, Amelia and Olivia burst out laughing at this comment. They wrapped their arms around the shoulders of the others and walked back to the school as break was over. Amelia thought she had finally found somewhere she was wanted.
