"Leave it" Ben said pushing Natasha back, Natasha began to fall striaght backwards and as her legs hit the small brick wall of the pond, the top half of her body kept moving, Natasha screamed and their was a loud splash, as she landed in the pond backside first, for a split second the whole of Natasha's upper body went under the dirty and slimmey green water, everyone jumped up off the wall, staring at Natasha, who was struggleing to stand up, wet and dripping with cold dirty water. A smile spread over Ben's face, but this was short lived, when he heard a familiar voice echo across the playground, "Ben Mitchell, What do you think you are doing" Ben turned around and saw Alcock marching towards the group of teenagers.
...Wild One...
...Chapter Fourteen...
Most of the teenagers walked away from the scene as Alcock appaoched Ben and Natasha, the girls who were helping Natasha out of the pond all pointed the blame in Bens direction.
Natasha was sent off to take a shawer and change into her pe kit, While Ben was frog marched to the heads office, Natasha was asked to join Alcock and Ben in the office afterwards. Natasha on one hand was angry that Ben had got the better of her, and she had been shown up in front of her new friends, but on the other hand she was trilled at Alcock had walked around the cornre just at the right time, and Natasha was going to make sure that Alcock woukd have no choice but punish Ben pay.
Ben stayed silent, almost as if he was stewing, which didn't impress Alcock at all.
"What have you got to say for yourself Mitchell" Alcock shouted as Ben stood silently staring back at his head teacher., "Natasha George is new to this school, its her first day, what must she be thinking,"
Ben just raised his eye brows, Alcock continued his lecture "You are in year ten, she is in year nine you should be setting a good example"
their was a knock on the door, and Natasha entered the room, dressed in just a t'shirt and shorts, and gym shoes and socks,
"Are you ok Natasha" Mr Alcock asked.
"No I am freezing, could you ring my sister to come and pick me up"
"No, you can go and get a sweater, from lost property if your cold" Mr Alcock said firmly, "but their is no reason why you can't spend the rest of the afternoon in school"
Natasha folded her arms. "I swallowed some of that thilthy water, I have no underwear on, and I feel ill, now please just ring my sister, if you don't I will make a complaint to the school governors"
"Mr Alcock was taken back by Natasha's demands. "I think maybe I should ring your sister" Alcock didn't want the matter to go to the governors.
"But first, are you going to give me your version of todays events" Alcock said looking across at the volatile teen.
"He just came up to me, and started slagging off my Mother, when I ignored him, he pushed me in that disgusting death trap, I could have drowned" Natasha said determeind to get Ben into as much trouble as possible.
"Mitchell is this what happened" Alcock asked wanting to give Ben a chance to reply, but Ben just stood their silent, not saying a word.
"Right Natasha, you go and wait in reception, I will try and try and contact your sister, Mitchell you wait in here why I contact your father"
Natasha smirked at Ben as she left the room.
Ronnie collected Natasha from school, and Phil fetched Ben, who had recieved a two day suspension. Ronnie was confused to why Ben would do such a thing to Natasha, however, she decided not to push the issue with either Natasha or Ben, she did moan at Natsha that she didn't think it was a very good start to school.
Natasha was walking alone in the square, she was wearing her red hoody with the hood up, she had decided that Abi must have put Ben upto having a go at her and she was furious, she was wondering around the square trying to get a glimps of Abi coming home from school, and at the same time trying to decide how she was going to punish her.
Shirly came out of her house and watched Natsha as she walked across the square,
Suddenly shirley ran into the direction of Natasha, she pulled her hardest and most scary face as she blocked Natasha's path, Natasha looked up at her hard thin and winkled face,
Shirley looked down at Natasha "you might think your clevor, you might also look upon yourself as being tough, but you ain't no match for me, girl"
"Thank god, I wouldn't want a face like that" Natasha snapped back, her heart was beating, and she was feeling a little intimidated but she wasn't going to show it"
"you lay off Abi and you lay off Ben, do you here" shirley said, putting her face right up to Natasha's face.
"Get lost" Natasha said pushing by, "I am not scared of an old hag like you, and Ben needs to watch it he as only just got out of nick, he must still be parole, what he did to me was assult"
Shirley suddenley saw red, she didn't want to see this kid getting Ben back into trouble, she raised her hand as if she was going slap Natasha's cheek.
"If you hit me, they will send you down, remember the law is on my side" Natasha said in very matter of fact way,
Shirley brought her hand down, "you stay away from Ben, alright, sweatheart" Shirley said in a sarcastic but intimidating voice.
Natasha pushed past shirley and although it was only three thirty, Natasha decided getting back at Abi could wait, she decided to go for the night.
Natasha sat eating her tea with Jack and Ronnie, Jack suddenly looked at Natasha.
"I hope we are not going to have phone calls from school everyday, Ronnie has a baby to look after"
"It was fine, Jack" Ronnie said instinctively sticking up for Natasha "Anyway it wasn't Natasha fault she ended up in the pond"
"Ummm" Jack mumbled looking over at Natasha.
"What did Ben do to mum" Natasha asked.
"Nothing sweetie" Ronnie said not knowing what Natasha was talking about.
"He said something, about what he did to mum" Natasha said looking at Ronnie "What did he do"
"Nothing as far as I know, now eat up, then you can go to Roxy's and do your homework, lets try and make a good impression tomorrow" Ronnie said getting up from the table.
Natasha went upstares, homework was the last thing on her list, instead she was going to quiz Roxy about Ben, Ronnie went into her bedroom and checked on James, she then opened a keepsake box, took danielles locket out and kissed it, she then took a photograph of Danielle out and stared at it for a while, In Danielles smiling face, she could see a glimpse of Natasha wide eyes staring back at her, she knew Natasha wasn't Danielle, but having her around almost made her feel close to Danielle, and in Ronnie's mind everything was becoming very blurred.
