Another Rea/Belle. Hope you like.


MAKE it work

Andrea was looking more miserable than usual. It was her last day and she ought to be happy about getting the opportunity to spread St Trinians brand trouble in the big wide world… but she couldn't… because her girlfriend wasn't going with her. Annabelle Fritton was a year younger than her, she had another year at the school for girls… A year where Andrea couldn't be there so yes, the Emo was moping, sulking and generally being depressing. She had the right to be.

Of course Annabelle noticed, she wasn't daft, she might technically be a Posh Totty but she wasn't stupid and it didn't take her long to catch on as to what was wrong. The simple fact of the matter was that they wouldn't get to se each other much and neither were sure if a long distance relationship would be able to last. Neither were sure… but they both wanted it to.

Annabelle Fritton found Andrea Franco in the dorms whilst everyone else was downstairs, setting up a party that the Emo really didn't feel like going to. She'd been dreading this day for weeks, the feeling only increasing as the days went by and now it's here and it's like a weight has settled heavily where her heart ought to be, but it's not there, it's dropped to the pit of her stomach and Andrea doesn't think she's ever felt so crap in her life. Belle paused in the doorway and watched the Head Emo for a moment before heading over to her, pulling her heels off and lying down, tucked into the other girl's side, an arm over her waist.

Without really thinking out it Andrea returned it the embrace and ran her hand through brown locks softly, gnawing on her lip and looking far more uncertain than any Emo ever should. Belle rested her head on her shoulder, breathing softly and for a while she just let her gather her thoughts.

"I…" The older girl began before sighing softly and Annabelle waited patiently, just being there. "I don't want to leave you," Andrea finished, the pain in her voice made the brunettes heart clench.

"I know…" She murmured because she did. She was as much Andrea's rock and Andrea was hers, they kept each other grounded and secure… safe within their own thoughts and memories… "I want this to work Andrea…" Belle whispered and the arm around her tightened slightly.

"Me too," The Emo replied and Annabelle smiled slightly at her.

"Then it will," She said determinedly as she ran her thumb across dark lips which quickly captured her own, Andrea was willing to believe her.

Andrea owed it to her tribe, to her friends and her real family to make an appearance at the party and so she did. She went but she didn't stay for too long. She and Belle had shared a look across the room and silently decided that they slip away. They went up to the roof and the Emo sat on the beanbag where upon Annabelle settled into her lap, leaning into her comfortably. Andrea's hand was taken in a warm and soothing grasp by the Fritton who gazed at her palm and traced the lines idly with a nail.

"You have a good love line…" Belle said softly, running her finger over the line.

"Really?" Andrea prompted curiously.

"You're content with your love life… but you don't love easily…" Annabelle explained with a gentle smile. "But I don't need your hand to know that."

"No you don't…" The Emo whispers and they spend a moment sharing a long look. "You do know that I love you right?" She adds softly, stroking back Belle's hair.

"Always," She replied with a smile that is returned.

"I'll be there… whenever you need me…" Andrea promised wholeheartedly and Belle kissed her chastely, lightly.

"I'm counting on it," She smirked slyly and the Head Emo gave a rare only-for-Annabelle smile as arms wrapped tightly around her neck. She might be leaving but her heart certainly wasn't and if that meant she'd have to drive down from London every weekend to have it back again… then she'd do it in… well… a heartbeat. She held Belle closer and took a deep breath.

"I love you too Rea," The girl murmured to her and she was positive, right in that very moment that it would work out for them… that they would MAKE it work because after all how could their relationship break apart when it was between two stubborn and fiercely determined St Trinians?... It couldn't… and most certainly wouldn't.
