Apologises for the long wait. As you know, my laptop went for repairs as it decided to break on me (which was just evil). I got it back on Monday and haven't completed it till today as I have been busy (which doesn't even cover it) doing English, Business and Geography coursework. I apologise very much!
Anyways, enough of me! On with the chapter!
[Sophia's P.O.V]
One week later and I was having to go back home. I didn't really want to but Dixie and Dad said that I couldn't stay with Lily and Ethan as they needed space and that I would start to get annoying. I didn't argue as I didn't want to end up in a fight with my family.
"See you tomorrow afternoon after school." Ethan said. I nodded and we did our 'secret' handshake.
Then I turned to Lily and she pulled me into a hug before whispering to me.
"Remember, you are strong. Don't let people put you down. It just shows who's really the weak ones. If you need me or just want to talk, text me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can." She whispered.
I pulled out of the hug and nodded.
"I know. See you tomorrow." I said before leaving with Dixie, Dad and John.
That evening I sat in my room strumming on my guitar. John found it in the attic the other day while I was with Lily and Ethan so he got it out for me. I forgot how much I loved playing it. It took me out of real life and into a fantasy world in my head. I loved it.
"Sophia! Dinner!" John called from the stairs.
"Coming!" I shouted back, making sure he heard me.
I put my guitar down and threw on a jumper before heading downstairs.
I walked into the kitchen to find one of my favourite things laid out on the table. Pancakes!
I sat down and quickly started eating them before finishing them 5 times quicker than everyone else.
"You enjoyed that." Dad commented.
"My favourite food. How could I not?" I replied rhetorically before giving a giggle.
Dad laughed at my comment.
"Well, I hope you didn't stuff yourself. We still have pudding." He said, going over to the cupboard.
"Which is?" I asked curiously, hoping it would be something else I love.
"Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream with Strawberries and Cream!" He announced!
"Hell Yeah!" I shouted in happiness.
The rest of the evening way amazing! Movies, Family chit chat and a spot of monopoly!
[The Next Day]
I woke up to my alarm's beeping ringing in my ears.
"Ugghh…" I groaned, pulling myself out of bed.
It was 6:30am but it felt so much earlier. I traipsed to the bathroom and hopped in the shower before changing into my uniform. I walked downstairs to see John making us breakfast.
"Where's Dad and Dixie?" I asked.
"They got called in to work." He answered.
"Oh…at this time?" I asked curiously.
"Yeah. They left just after 5." He responded.
"Oh…" I said before eating my breakfast.
We both finished in the house and walked to school. We walked halfway together but John met with his girlfriend so I walked on ahead.
I made it to school and went straight to form as the bell went just after I'd gone to my locker.
"Morning miss!" I said joyfully.
"Morning Sophia. How are you feeling?" She asked.
"Much better thanks. How's your week been?" I questioned, making a conversation.
"Rather quiet actually." She replied.
"That's good." I answered.
"Yes it is. Now, please take a seat so I can take the register." She said sweetly.
"Yes miss." I replied.
I walked over to my seat, avoiding the feet being poked out to try and trip me up. Today felt like it was going to be a good day.
I was right. I'd made it to lunchtime and still had a positive attitude!
I was just walking to my final lesson, R.S, when I was surrounded by the people I feared most in this school. Jessica, Lisa, Karla and a few of their friends. They circled me so I couldn't escape them.
Dun Dun Daaaaa! What's going to happen next? Find out soon!
Also, sorry this is a short chapter. This is the second time I've written out the chapter as for some reason it didn't save the first time. Sad Face :(
Please give us your thoughts and ideas as we love to hear them!
Rachel :) xx
