Chapter 26 - Normality
Ben and I walked back towards the school hand in hand as we watched Lily and Matt sprint ahead of us in a race to beat eachother.
"Oh god, I hope Cass was decent before Lily gets there..." my eyes widened.
Ben laughed so much he had to let go over my hand as he bent over laughing.
I smacked his arm "It's not funny, that's a oermenant scarring for a child!" I couldn't help but chuckle a bit.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Better get there before them then, shouldn't we" he smiled and winked at me "C'mon, I know a shortcut" Ben grabbed my hand and we ran around the side of the school.
We cut through like 5 classrooms, including climbing through a window or two and jumping over a few chairs and tables. I laughed so much and he almost fell over once, I caught him just in time.
We got there before Lily and Matt and I knocked on the door "Cass, you decent?"
I heard her laugh "Yeah, Come in guys"
We both walked in and Ben sat besides Logan.
"How did you know there was two of us?" I asked as Cass hugged me from behind.
"When you're not on missions, when are you and Ben ever apart?" she replied.
I noticed Ben look up at me from the corner of my eye and resisted to smile "When I'm in the shower?"
"Wouldn't put it past you" Cass mumbled and I elbowed her as Logan laughed and Ben blushed.
"Same goes" I replied and Cass pretended to look shocked "Where's Cecilia, anyway?"
"In the hall I think with Tori, Jimmy and Bailey"
"Right, let's go then" I pulled her through the door as she laughed. I heard one of the boys sigh and they followed.
"Ever wonder how we're their bitches?" Logan whispered to Ben who chuckled nodding slightly.
"Because, girls always come out on top, we're just the better half of the species" I almost shouted to them.
"You go, Kristen" Cassidy cheered me on and I had to smile.
"Craaaap" I groaned and stopped.
"What did you forget?" Ben raised an eyebrow.
"Take a guess" I pointed to my belt.
"Do you always have them on you?" Logan asked.
"Yeap, pretty much. Or at least, during the day anyway. Ben go to Scott's, Cass and Logan, you two get to the hall. I'll come see you later. Ad try and find Cecilia, I need to speak to that girl!" my voice gradually got louder as I almost ran down the opposite directon to them.
I got to my room quick enough and found my hand guns and put them into their holders. An old jacket caught my eye in my wardrobe from back when I lived in Wales. I couldn't help but think of that time, I could never truly tell whether or not it was years I'd like to forget. I mean, it had it's moments...
(Flashback)
"Hey girl, heey" my best friend Abbie sat at my side in reg.
"Hi" I laughed "You feeling better?"
"Yeah, much" she nodded "can't really have another day off anyway"
"Wel, you could, just might miss out on a bit"
Abbie chuckled "Exactly. Like I don't have enough to do, couldn't deal with anymore homework"
I sighed "I know. I hate this school"
"Don't we all" she rolled her eyes.
Jaimee walked in "Sorry, miss. Bus was late"
Our reistration teacher nodded bluntly and returned to her laptop. Even the teacher's suck at this school.
"And you give me crap for being late" I smirked at her as she walked around me.
"Bus was late" Jaimee repeated smiling.
Abbie, Emily and me all shook our heads at her.
"What do we have first anyway?" Emily asked us all.
I had to love these girls. After my argument with Nicki, Ashley, Charlotte, Crystal and Claire they sort of took me in. I'd always been close to Abbie, we just drifted aoart a bit in year 8 and 9 when I started talking more to the other girls. Of course, back then I had no idea what I was getting myself into and I'm pretty glad we had that argument! I'd missed Abbie so much. She was always there to cheer me up when my depression would kick in, always be the one to make me laugh or smile. She truly was my bestest friend in the world and yes, I sound like I'm four but hey, we never grow up, we just learn how to act in public. Emily and Jaimee had joined me and Abbie after they argued with their own group and we all sort of fit together like puzzle pieces. We were all an equal balance of being totally different and being exactly the same.
"Not sure" I replied "Art I think I have"
"Ugh, why did you three tak art?"
"Why did you take Geography?" Abbie replied to her.
"I like Geography" Em' brushed her sweeping fringe across her face.
"Well there we are then" Jaimee almost chuckled.
I had to love how we did that. Always like answer for someone else. Abbie had fine, light brunette hair. She used to have bright highlights that looked stunning but they were practically faded now. She says she's going to dip dye her hair blonde, bet that's going to look beautiful on her. She had almost babylike features; big eyes, soft cheeks all the things like that. Jaimee had thick flowing curls, the type that were massive locks but was completely natural. She was absolutely stunning! She had a pale face but the rest of her was pretty dark, just about darker than me. She had bright sky blue eyes and a sweeping fringe like Emily's just a bit bigger. Emily was probably the smallest of us. Not height wise but in almost every other aspect. She had shoulder length dark brunette hair with the top layer almost completely highlighted with blonde. She had a small face and always looked so natural.
The bell rang and we walked out. The boy I'd had a major crush on for like a year would walk past every now and then. Just the other day he was behind us walking up the tunnel and Abbie and Jaimee decided to shout up at me saying things like "Jaimee, isn't Kristen's skirt nice" or "Kris, thought you said you were wearing a skirt not a belt" I practically ran ahead of them calling back "Bugger off!" and laughing so much. I was never the kind to take things seriously.
"Meet me in the hall after first" I hugged Emily and she started in the opposite direction. Jaimee eventually broke off too. She took art too but the GCSE art classes were split in two. Jaimee was in one and Abbie and me were in another.
W gossiped about all the normal things we'd talk about. I was always the quiet one who'd just sit there drawing. The end of the lesson came and we all met up with our other friends. There was about 12 of us all together in our group of friends. I gave Ella a massive hug, she was so tall but also so pale! I still loved her like I loved Jaim', Em' and Abbie though.
"Hey, Kristen. You okay?" Ella asked.
"Yeah I'm good thanks" I smiled "Have a nice Christmas and all that?"
"It was okay" she shrugged and I laughed.
"C'mon let's go to biology" Ella pulled me along with her as I chuckled.
I passed Crystal past the corridor. She pretended to cough and in the middle of it said "Slag"
"Why don't you go fuck another ten boys, Crystal? Make it a solid 500?" I sneered.
She almost screeched and lunged for me but Charlotte held her back "Take no notice of her. She's having a bitchy day" she said to me and Crystal huffed and stormed off "I miss you, Kristen"
"Miss you too" I smiled. She was one of the only two that weren't as bad as the others, and were really my friends. She squeezed me tight.
"I have to go. Mail me later or something, do some catching up"
I nodded "Yeah, sound like a nice idea"
Charlotte smiled and walked up the corridor.
"How can you still talk to those girls after what they did to you?" Ella didn't like them at all to be honest.
"They were just sticking by their friends, not all their fault" I shrugged "Just wanna forget most of that"
Ella nodded and took my arm again.
My life was so normal right now. I just wanted to have something exciting in my life but when you life in Wales, what are you supposed to do?
"Kristen" a voice I didn't recognise called from behind me. It was the boy I liked. A shot of nervousness filled the pit of my stomach.
"Hey"
"Can I talk to you, alone?"
"Of course" Ella replied to him in a almost sing song voice and skipped off. We both laughed at her.
"What's up, Niall?" I tried to stop myself from blushing.
"You still like me? Right?" he asked.
I couldn't hold back the blushing that time "Umm, maybe"
Niall laughed "Okay, take that as a yes. Are you busy this friday?"
"Don't think so, why?"
"Fancy coming over? Go for a walk or something maybe?"
I nodded blushing even more ferociously "Yeah, sounds good"
"Great, umm I'll ask Jaimee for your number later" he smiled.
I smiled back "Sure"
He nodded and was pulled off by one of his friends.
I was attacked by the girls "What did he say?"
"He ... asked me to go out on a date ... s'all" I shrugged smirking.
The girls all screamed and we jumped up and down laughing.
"Girls, behave!" Our head of year told us off and we silenced still snickering.
"Girls, you can come in now" our biology teacher peered around the door and we slipped into the classroom and into our seats. All the girls still smirking at me as I looked to the floor ruffling my fringe.
(Back To Reality)
That date actually went pretty well. Although it was nothing like the dates Ben and I went on and I just liked Niall I absolutely adored Ben. I was still a different girl back then. I wanted excitment in my life and I guess I got it. I still really miss the girls though, once this is over, Ben ctually promised me he'd do everything he could to get us back to Wales for about a week just to see if they were still ... I swallowed hard, yeah that. I really hope they're still okay.
I jogged to Scott's room and found Tom, Ben, Scott and Anne in there.
"Damn it! Thing must've run out of gas" Uncle Scott exclaimed "I told those kids at the motor pool to check it was full"
"I think there's a spare can in the store room. Ben, wanna give me a hand?"
"Sure" he nodded and kissed me on the cheek before leaving with his dad.
"I'm going to head back to the clinic - unless you need me?" Anne asked Uncle Scott.
"No, no you go" he smiled.
"Mind of I help?" I asked Anne.
"Course not" she smiled broadly and we left.
"See you later, Uncle Scott" I smiled and he smiled back.
"So what do you need help with?" I folded my arms as we walked.
"Just sorting out a load of things really" Anne replied.
I nodded "Doesn't sound that hard, so I'm sure I can do that"
She laughed "In the middle of a war and you're still like a typical teenager"
I laughed too "Yeah, I'm not one to act my age"
"I would've thought you act very mature for your age"
"Well, yeah, I can when I have to. But whenever I can act childish again I'll just go for it" I shook my head smiling.
We got to the lab pretty quickly and I just helped Anne put the right things in the right boxes. Wasn't that hard. They all had labels and the boxes were sorted out in colours to where they're supposed to go.
"Anne, we need help" Ben rushed in "Scott's hurt"
We ran to Scott's room and I grabbed Lourdes along the way. Scott was on the floor blood on his head.
"Uncle Scott! What happened?" Anne looked worried as her and Ben lifted him to his feet.
"I- I..." he could hardly speak.
"Kristen, get Tom and bring him to the lab" Anne ordered me.
I nodded and jogged out.
