Chapter 12


Zara Dennis has to come back to Waterloo Road. She is out on bail at the moment. And Rachel is not allowed to turn her away sadly.

If that bitch goes anywhere near any of my friends, ill hit her round the head with my crutches. She's been removed from all of my classes and has been put in the lower ability sets. Rach doesn't want her in the room with me. She's not allowed in the common room during break or lunch either; no one has spoken to her since she came back. Just to show she is not welcome. Even her friends are ignoring her.

Today is my first day back at school. 2 days after waking up, I was discharged from hospital. Rach decided to keep me off school for the rest of the week though. She also promised she would take me and a few friends canoeing when my leg is better considering everyone was sent home after I was rushed to hospital.

So here I am. Burgundy blazer, white blouse, a black shirt and a stripy tie. With a bright blue pot and a knee high sock. I grabbed my crutches and slid down the stairs on my butt. God knows how I'm going to do that at school.

"Morning love, want a cup of tea?" Rachel greeted me as I walked into the kitchen.

"Do you know where my hair brush is? I can't find it in my room." I asked.

"I've got it!" Annie yelled from upstairs. "It was in the bathroom!"

I taken the cup of tea off Rachel and sat waiting for Annie to come down. No way was I going up the stairs again.

"I'm bringing the whole school into assembly today Liv, to talk about the Halloween party. Do you think you and Annie could do some baking at the weekend for food? Oh damn. There's a new family coming today too. The Kellys. I met their mother the other week back. If their anything like her, they'll most likely end up in jail cells." She said, sighing.

"We'll do baking. Don't think I'm showing anyone round though. As much as I like Tamara, I don't want a repeat of last time." I informed her.

In fact, Tamara came round to see me last week. She seemed pretty messed up when I was talking to her. She felt really guilty for freezing when Zara shoved me. And she said she wouldn't be able to cope if anything serious happened to me.

So I informed her, in simple terms, it's not that easy to get rid of Olivia Mason. Because she always comes back fighting. I also informed her, it was not her fault at all. If I had grabbed the railing on time, I would have been okay. And if I hear her blaming herself once more, I would carry out my threat I gave her on her first day and put her head through a window. And now she's gone into Lauren and Madi mode being overprotective.

"Rach? Can we have a pet?" I asked curiously. She looked at me a bit confused.

"We won't be able to get a dog, with none of us being in most of the day, I'm sure we can get a cat though, why?" She asked.

"A cat will be fine." I said happily as Annie came in with my hairbrush.

Getting a pet will be the start of me being responsible. I can show I can look after something else as well as myself. Now I just need to think of a name.


"Mr. Wilding, this is Sambuca Kelly. She's going to be joining your music class. Toni, will you show her around please?" Rachel asked the girl sat on the front row.

When Sambuca sat in front of me and Madi, we both instinctively moved back. I wish I had put my deodorant in my bag before I left this morning for her to borrow. Not like it would have helped her though.

"Jesus Christ." Madi exclaimed. "Did anyone bring any deodorant?" the whole of the class started laughing.

"Madi!" I hissed. But Sambuca must have ignored Madi or didn't hear. Because she looked straight at me and asked what had happened to my leg.

I was about to answer when Madi jumped in, "Liv, don't bother replying, you wouldn't be able to hold your breath any longer."

"I was pushed down a flight of stairs." I said to the new girl, putting my head down, embarrassed by my friend.

When the lesson ended, I limped to the common room with Madi, who was still spraying deodorant everywhere, saying the smell had lingered. If I was Sambuca, I would be crying my eyes out now. The first day of school and she was already being bullied.

Maybe Sambuca is crying though? I told Madi I would head to the loos before meeting them in the common room. Sure, enough, when I entered the bathroom, I could hear crying.

"Um, are you okay in there?" I asked, knocking gently on the door. Sambuca opened the door with tears streaming down her face.

"Like you care." She hissed and went to close the door again. Before she did, I used one of my crutches and wedged it in the way.

"I do care." I snapped. "And I also know my friend was a bitch, but Sambuca, you should have had a shower before you came or something. You can't expect people to be nice when you don't smell it."

"Sam." I must have looked a bit confused. "My name is Sam. Thanks for being honest, Liv is it? But it's not my fault is it?"

I was about to reply when I heard the fire alarm go off. I looked at the new girl confused but she shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, but come on; I don't know where I'm going so you'll have to show me."

We headed towards the doors, me trying to go quickly in case there was a fire. When we got outside, the rest of the school was already there, so I limped over to Finn.

"What's going on babe?" I asked him curiously.

"There's a gun apparently. The only people still inside now are 2 of the Kellys and Zara. Way to create a good first impression." He said into my ear as he pulled me in for a hug. "I missed you, haven't seen you all day."

I kissed him gently on the lips and looked for Sam. She was stood with her older brother and Bolton Smilie. And by the looks of things, they were petrified.


Considering i havent got the dvds of this series (or any series) im just writing off the top of my head. i will always remember the day the kellys first came to the school though so i thought i would put it in. I might be able to put another chapter in before i need to go out though!

I thought i would put Sam in the story, i havent mentioned her or her family before, and i still dont know if i will kill her off or not :( But she is definetely not getting in a relationship with Finn!

With this story, im making it up as i go along. Im only one step ahead of you when im writing, i dont know what is even going to happen in the next chapter until i start writing it! So sorry if some of the chapters are getting a bit shit :')

FeeDob26: Yeah she was pushed, Zara had got annoyed with her while she was talking to Tamara, sorry for confusing you :')

maddiejean95: I hope your dad is okay now! It was a bit difficult writing that chapter, i have never been in a coma, and touch wood i never will be. Im glad it turned out okay though. Thankyou for informing me i got Olivias feelings right!
