Hey lads, the things at the start of this chapter did actually happen to me. They are not that bad, and I have got better friends now, but if this is happening to anyone else they should stop being friends with them because it is a form of bullying.

Can I also give a shout out to bellafan22 who is really encouraging and told me when my update didn't work. And to rocker729 who's reviews never fail to make me smile :)

Chapter 10

Rachel's POV

I motioned for them to sit down on a bench with me and took a deep breath. I sat in between Jack and Jerry. Now or never, well that's making it a bit dramatic.

"It basically started when we started in secondary school. My two best friends, Anna and Roisin and I made friends with that group of girls. It was okay at the start but after about a month or two I was starting to be ignored and excluded. Roisin changed, she became shallower. I soon found out that they were complete and utter bitches. It stayed pretty much like that for about a year, being excluded and isolated. I didn't talk much at school or at home, people like Mum, Ellen, Sorcha and Shannon noticed it. I also got very depressed.

Then at Anna's party last year, I asked Roisin could we do a group present and she said she was doing it with someone else and then just walked off. Later I was talking to another girl in that group of friends and she offered to let me in on their present, which was the same one Roisin wouldn't let me in on.

At my birthday Roisin and another girl, Lisa, convinced everyone to be down at the other end of the table to me. Anna tried to get everyone to come up to end that we were at. Anna and myself have a mutual friend who I have known since birth and I told her all this. She told me that she never liked that group. Lisa would always give me these dirty looks. And I don't know why ? She turned everyone against me. What worse is I have to share a car journey with her every day. They make everything awkward when they show up. When they talk to Shannon, Sorcha and Ellen they always act as if I'm not there."

Jack's POV

There were tears streaming down her face. I couldn't believe someone would do that to her. She is my little sister for Christ's sake. I wrapped her in my arms.

"So what did you do then?" Kim asked with concern in her eyes. Rachel took another breath and replied.

"I stopped being friends with them and started hanging out with Sorcha Ellen and Shannon they had been in my class all along and Ellen had told me before she didn't like my old group of friends. I was so stupid to not listen to that." I had started rubbing circles on her back. "The only bad thing is Anna never did anything wrong and now we never talk. The reason you guys couldn't have been there is if they had recognised Jack, they would have known I was here too. I'm really sorry about that. They made me feel so alone and self-conscious, not good enough."

"There is nothing you should be sorry about; it's those girls who should be sorry. I want to find them and kick their ass." Kim replied kind at first but more fierce at the end. To be honest I was feeling the exact same way. I looked at the rest of the gang and they looked the exact same way.

Before we knew it ten minutes was up and we had to meet Séan and the girls outside Hollister. We had spent a good bit of time consoling Rachel. As we walked I threw my arms around Kim and Rachel, my two special girls I thought. Not that I would tell anyone that. One because I'm sure Sarah would feel a bit left out considering she is my sister too, but Rach is my twin, and two because I'm pretty sure Kim doesn't feel the same way. I really wish she did.

When we met them outside Hollister, Rach threw herself into Séan's arms. I see what's going on here, someone has a crush,, I would tease but I feel that now is not the best time. I looked at Jerry as I had a sneaking suspicion that he liked Rachel. Jerry happened to have a tinge of jealousy in his eyes, but not as much as earlier when Séan and rach were being all cuddly at the dojo; he was more gazing at Sorcha. Kim and I looked at each other and instantly knew what the other was thinking: time to play matchmaker again.

Hey, you don't even know how hard that chapter was to write. I left out a few pieces but all of that is true, it happened to me. I know you may think I am looking for sympathy or attention but it fits in with something I have planned for later. Also you may think that I am a real sissy for getting upset over being left out, but it really was an utterly horrible experience, and I don't want anyone to go through that or worse.

Subsequently some of those girls have been taken out of class by the year head because of bullying allegations, but I swear to God it wasn't me who reported them. That was the exact wording I used when "Sorcha" told me that.

I am not doing much this midterm, so please pm me if you want a chat about anything. I would also love to hear what you think of the story so please review.
