Chapter Ten
Leela came downstairs soon after her small strop has ended, she looked over at Amy now, who was asking her father a lot of questions, admitting that she was quite disgusted with him for leaving Ste alone with Terry and Pauline though they were slowly coming to an agreement.
"Amy; can I have a word?" Leela asked her with her arms still crossed, she watched as Amy walked over, obviously wondering what on Earth she wanted.
"Yes?" Amy asked, also with her arms crossed.
Leela gave a sarcastic smile, she still didn't really like Amy on first impressions. She seemed catty to her in many respects. Catty Amy should be her nickname, Leela thought to herself.
"Ste told me what happened between you two and I'm honestly surprised; look we got of on the wrong foot, can we start over?" Leela asked, gritting her teeth. That was hard for her to say.
Though Amy seemed stubborn.
"Thanks" Amy replied simply, she walked away.
Leela made a childish face behind her back, mimicking her as she muttered 'Thanks' under her breath in a purposefully slurred way.
"Leela, come join us" Tegan called, patting a seat which was besides her. Amy and Ste were too busy chatting now about everything.
While Sam was keep Leah and Lucas occupied as Leah and Lucas played with the Doctor Who action figures. They were asking her questions now too, asking if she knew about 'Nanny Pauline' Sam clearly not impressed as she refused to answer.
"Coming" Leela replied, reluctantly sitting besides her sister.
Today has just gotten from bad to worst. Her date with Trevor was alright, though her parents finding out was not. Peri and Tegan seemed alright with it but nobody else seemed to.
...
Grace was slagging Leela of when she found out.
"Really? Your trying to work your way into that's girl's pants?" Grace asked Trevor, her friend.
Trevor nodded.
"I thought you have more class then her" Grace told her, slipping her wine.
"What's wrong with Leela? She's a good-looking girl" Trevor replied, slightly offended.
"I don't understand your taste" Grace replied with sarcasm.
"Your just jealous you can't join in, unless your interested in Danny" Trevor spoke, Grace slapped him around the head.
"I'm not interested in Danny Lomax" Grace replied, making him laugh.
...
Leela placed her feet across the couch on purpose as Amy went to sit back down, she didn't look impressed.
"Leela, put your feet down; God, I feel like I'm talking to a 10-year-old sometimes" Danny ordered, Leela had no interest in doing that.
She ignored him with a small smile.
"Go sit somewhere else, there's plenty of room" Leela insisted.
"You do know that you're sitting in the same place as a serial killer" Amy spitefully replied, just as Ste walked down to hear.
Ste scoffed.
"Ste" Amy called, as she watched him storm out.
"Now look what you done" Leela replied to her, watching her rush out after Ste. She clearly hit a nerve.
"Leela" Danny spoke in an fed-up mood.
She finally put her feet down in defeat. She was a bit worried though like Danny about why Amy's comment about a serial killer would make Ste storm out, she clearly hit some unknown nerve.
"What's wrong with Ste anyway?" Leela asked him, Danny gave a hopeless shrug.
...
It was around twenty minutes later when Ste and Amy returned, he looked like he had been crying.
"What's wrong?" Danny asked him, though he avoided the question as he went straight up the stairs.
"Amy" Danny pressured, Leela also walked towards her.
As she crossed her arms.
"Look, I shouldn't have said that, you know how much he loves Brendan" Amy replied, thinking they already knew.
Danny shook his head.
"No we don't know" Leela told her straight away.
"Look, ask Ste; he is the victim in this" Amy replied before walking away.
Leela was left confused as was Danny.
