You've Got A Friend In Me
Bonnie was sat in Science after the eventful history lesson. She was sat next to Kenzie who was more interested in her tablet than her.
"Alright today we will be handling corrosive acids, can anybody name any?" asked Mr D'Olivera as he entered the classroom from the storeroom holding bottles of acid. He set them on his table and pulled on his lab coat.
"Sulphuric acid, sir" Scott said, smiling stupidly.
"Yes, correct Scott. And that is exactly what we will be using today. So goggles and gloves on everybody. Girls hair back and ties tucked in." Mr D'Olivera instructed.
Bonnie followed the instructions. She was pouring the acid in the beaker slowly whilst Kenzie was drawing out a table in her book. Although they weren't talking, they had a mutual understanding.
"There we go 50 ml" Bonnie said triumphantly as she put the stopper on the acid and put it aside.
"Scott don't run!" Shouted Mr D'Olivera as Scott accidentally bumped into the table and caused the beaker containing the acid to topple onto Bonnie. Bonnie screamed.
Mr D'Olivera hurried over, his eyes full of panic.
"Take off your shirt, Bonnie" he said urgently. Bonnie quickly started unbuttoning her shirt and whipped it off without remembering she wasn't wearing a camisole.
The whole class gasped as they saw the bruises on her stomach from where her father had hit her, the bite marks too. Bonnie tried to cover herself and blushed red, starting to cry. She ran out of the classroom.
"Sir I'll go after her" Kenzie said instantly as she picked up her coat and ran after Bonnie who was hurrying down the stairs.
"Bonnie!" Kenzie shouted as Bonnie rushed through the corridor only in her bra and skirt trying to get to somewhere she could hide. She whipped past the history classroom where Justin was listening to Miss McFall go on about WW1. He saw the flash of brown hair which he recognized as Bonnie's. He instantly got up and exited the classroom, bumping into Kenzie.
"Mr Fitzgerald" Miss McFall had opened the door and shouted at Justin.
"Is that Bonnie?" Justin said worriedly. Kenzie nodded and they both followed her.
Bonnie made it to the PE corridor and rushed into the girls changing rooms. Kenzie and Justin turned into the corridor and saw the door slam. Justin rushed forwards, Kenzie stopped him with her arm.
"It's the girls changing rooms. What's your worry anyway?" She asked.
"We're together. She's my girlfriend...well she was until I called her a slut which I so regret" Justin said taking heavy breaths. She put her hand on Justin's back.
"I'll look after her, you go and get Mrs Budgen or Miss Hutchinson." Kenzie said giving him a soft smile. He nodded and Justin hurried off.
Kenzie took a deep breath and opened the door, instantly confronted with the sound of sobs and the shower running. She put down her coat on the hook and walked round to the showers, finding Bonnie sat in one of them, water flowing onto her. She looked a mess, her hair was soaked, her makeup running as she sobbed. Kenzie rushed and turned off the water.
"Bonnie" Kenzie said softly as she bent down to Bonnie's height where she was sat with her knees pulled to her chest.
"Kenzie, what are you doing here?" Bonnie said through sobs.
"I came in the aide of a friend" Kenzie said smiling.
"I don't need any help" Bonnie said.
"What are all of the bruises? Did something happen? Was it Scott?" Kenzie asked worriedly.
"I can't tell you" Bonnie whispered.
"I knew a girl who was beaten up on her way back from school, she was damaged for years and didn't know what to do" Kenzie said as she rolled up her sleeve to reveal healing bruises.
"Oh Kenzie" Bonnie sighed. The door had opened whilst the girls were talking, Miss Hutchinson and Mrs Budgen slipped in.
"No matter what has happened to you Bonnie, you can tell me. Please" Kenzie said looking into Bonnie's eyes.
"I got home yesterday after being with Justin. My father and his assistant Celine were there, they had ordered us takeaway. Celine took me upstairs when my dad was on the phone. She told me that he was going to marry his bimbo girlfriend Hannah and move to America. Celine offered to house me and let me stay with her. My dad overheard this and got very angry, I know he'd been drinking. He threw Celine out" Bonnie said as she explained.
"He came back and blamed me for her behavior. Calling me a slut and a whore." Bonnie continued.
"Oh that poor girl" Mrs Budgen whispered.
"Then Justin texted me good night and that he loved me. My dad got very angry about me having a boyfriend and then he r-r-attacked me" Bonnie said as she had tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Your father, thats sick Bonnie" Kenzie said as she put her arm around Bonnie.
"Please dont tell Justin..He'll hate me. I couldnt stop him, I couldnt." Bonnie sobbed.
"He loves you Bonnie, I can see it. He didnt mean what he said, he was just angry. Trust me" Kenzie explained.
"I do" Bonnie said as she let Kenzie stand her up, taking her arm and slinging it around Kenzie's neck. Kenzie walked her slowly out of the showers to where she had put her coat. She was surprised to see Mrs Budgen and Miss Hutchinson there.
"Thank you Kenzie, we'll take it from here" Miss Hutchinson said as she took Bonnie into her arms.
"Bonnie, we are going to help you ok." Miss Hutchinson said in a soothing voice.
"Maggie, call the police" Miss Hutchinson said as she walked out of the changing room with Bonnie close to her. Maggie nodded and hurried off.
"Can Kenzie come?" Bonnie asked, looking up like a small child. She was as vulnerable as a small child. Miss Hutchinson nodded and Kenzie followed after them.
Did you like the Bonnie/Kenzie friendship?
