Disclaimer: Yeah, you guessed it, I haven't convinced Robert Muchamore to give me Cherub. :(
This is the 4th chapter of The Victim's Daughter as promised. I am so happy that I got five reviews in 3 days. Thanks for reading and please review or PM me with your ideas.

James left Megan's room and crossed the hall to his own. He couldn't help smiling to himself as he flopped down onto his bed. Ten minutes passed and before James knew it, he had to get up and go to combat training in the dojo. He arrived there and went into the changing rooms to get changed. Bruce and Kyle were talking in the changing rooms when he got there. They stopped when they saw him.
"James, man!" Bruce said, slapping him on the back. "What happened to you? I haven't seen you since lunchtime."
James tried to look cool, "Oh, I went back to my room to do a few bits of homework." He tried desperately to look sincere but knew he had failed when Bruce started laughing.
"Kerry is furious with you," Bruce told James as he pulled on his socks.
James groaned. "What I have I done to upset her now?"
"What do you think, James? Maybe she is upset because you left lunch early so you could go and make out with her best friend. Maybe that could be the reason."Kyle said in a mock surprised voice.
"Oi, we didn't make out. We didn't even kiss. I don't know what you are talking about." James said, trying to appear puzzled.
"Yeah, James." Bruce laughed, "That's why you have lipstick on your face."
"What?" James said, rubbing his face with his sleeve, "I do not have lipstick on my face!" He scrambled out of the changing room and into the hall.
James heard Bruce and Kyle laughing then Kyle called after him, "Yeah, James. I guess you got that one right. You didn't have any lipstick on your face."
A girl's voice behind Kyle called, "Who has lipstick on their face?"
James wheeled around and saw Kerry looking questioningly at Kyle.
"Oh, no one." He said quickly.
Kerry shot daggers at James through the whole session, and at the end, she cornered him.
"I know what you are up to, and trust me, I will stop it." She snarled, before flouncing off to get changed.

Thanks for reading chapter 4 of The Victim's Daughter. I am sorry that it was short, I have rather a lot of work to do.
If I get seven more reviews by Tuesday I promise I will update on Wednesday!
