first, about the last chapter...that wasn't a flashback..that was in present time. My word document decided to be an asshole and put everything in default bold and i couldn't get it off...sorry.

and secondly, I was dying (not literally.), I couldn't keep my promise and I had to continue ugams so im going to try continue this after months of not looking at it. Please excuse my rusty-ness.

Kate entered the bus with Kelly behind her. Watching her closely, guarding her back.
"When we get back Steel, you gonna sit down and tell me everything."
Whispered Kelly, the tone in which she spoke conveyed to Kate that she was not getting out of it this time. Choosing to sit at the front of the bus, Kate hoped to evade Kelly from hovering near her. It was a weak hope as she knew that Kelly did not take orders from anyone or played to her peer's wishes. She played her own game and that's what made Kelly Jones Kelly Jones.

Kelly parked herself behind Kate next to Steffie Van Der Boom and was content with setting her intimidating gaze into the Franko-Russians back.

The back of the bus was commandeered by the Chavs in the absence of the Posh Totty. Taylor and Bianca had sprawled themselves out and rummaged in their bags to flaunt their purchases.

"Kewl, how come Belle isn't here?" Chimed one of the twins. Kelly swiveled in her seat and smiled warmly at her two little pocket rockets.
"Tottys dragged her to see a movie. They insisted on seeing it at the movies. They'll be back soon, in about an hour." Explained the Head Girl, laying her arm along the backseat.

After a very eventful day, Kelly laid her head against the glass of the window sending vibrations into her neck and down her spin.

Several times, Kate had turned around to see Kelly eyeing her intensely from her current position. Naturally, this annoyed the 16 year old as she was used to being on her own. She hated having people watching her.

The quieter conversations from each group around the bus acted as a calmer for the Head Girl, making her dark eyes dim before the lids closed over and she fell into a sleep.

25 minutes into her nap, Kelly's mind formed images. Swirling, they melded into the figures of Kelly and her sister Alex.
Alex sat on a low lying branch of a tree, her legs swinging back and forth.

A tired expression on her face and a grim smile to match.
"Alex?" Kelly frowned up at her sister who bounced a little.

"Nooo." Alex rolled her eyes, speaking sarcastically and not bothering to hide it.
"I'm the fucking cat next door…of course its me. Jeez Kels, when did you become…stupid? You been shagging Julia again? Cause you only ever got this dumb when you were around her…and to think of it. Julia a Posh Totty! BAHA!"

Kelly recoiled in horror. "I have not been shagging anyone! Julia's gone and you know it! Cheeky bastard."
Alex grinned from ear to ear, her blue eyes lighting up in a silent laugh.
With one final bounce, the younger Jones sprang from the branch and landed neatly infront of her sister.
"Oh right, sorry. I forgot, you've been shagging ANNABELLE FRITTON instead…" Kelly's eyes bulged and her mouth dropped.
"Alex! How the hell did you become this…rude!" Crossing her arms over her chest, Kelly demanded an answer. Seeing her older sister like this sent Alex into a fit of giggles.
"Heaven actually. Not hell…god knows why…OH WAIT! AHA He does! Anyway I know you weren't shagging Fritton…" Kelly's face melted into slight relief and approval of Alex's statement.
"…Physically but you fully do…In your dreams."
"ALEXANDRA JONES!"
"And your denial is just proof that you want to strip Fritton and…"
Kelly clamped her hands over her ears and yelled for Alex to shut up, sending one of her deadliest glares at her younger sister.
With a calming chuckle, Alex held up her hands and shook her head.
"Ok ok funs over. But come on Kel. Lets be serious. Is Belle more of a friend to you?" Alex's face was now on that expressed attention. Kelly frowned, clearly no appreciating the intrusion. Seeing in her older sister eyes something other then a denial, Alex opened her mouth to speak again.
"Kelly be honest. I'm your sister. You can tell me."
Kelly averted her gaze, feeling the heat flowing to her ears and heart.
Alex saw Kelly's lips move but missed the words that came out. Asking for her to repeat herself, Kelly span around, eyes blazing with a mix of strong emotions.
"I DON'T KNOW ALEX!"
Hiding her frown, Alex for the first time in a long time saw true confusion in the Head Girl's eyes. Through that confusion, she saw slight anger and Kelly's upset feelings. A rugged sigh came from Alex's sister and she waved her hand up in the air, falling over her words as she tried to put a sentence together to describe her feelings.
"I don't…I have no idea what I feel towards Belle…its…I don't know its…its…"

Alex frowned deeper. She kept her mouth shut. Kelly was on the verge of speaking her feelings. Something she almost never did and Alex was not going to interrupt her, encourage, yes. But not cut off.

"What happens when you see her?" Alex blinked, speaking with caution.
"She…I just, sort of…feel happy. Light inside?" Kelly lowered her eyes to the ground, of their own accord, finding a spot on the grass and focusing on it. Having no idea that her eyes and face were showing everything to Alex.
Alex watched with a small smile as she listened to Kelly speak about Annabelle, seeing the sparkle bounce back and grow in the Head Girl's eyes and a smile, a genuine smile spreading over her cheeks.
"…When she smiles, like it doesn't have to be at me, it just lifts my heart and I feel the urge to laugh. Shes so beautiful 'Lex. When I hear her laugh or talk it feels like a fire inside, my finger tips feel tingly and there's a sort of…explosion of heat around my body and…"

Nodding happily but with a sad smile again, the figure form of Alex began to blur around the edges and fade. Kelly didn't notice. She was stuck in a world of her own thinking about Annabelle.

In her dream state, Kelly kept babbling on and on, totally unaware that she was now alone.
"..I just don't know if I can handle the rejection." Kelly turned, running a hand through her hair, ruining it. Surprise appeared on her face when she saw that Alex was gone. Sniffing in frustration, the head girl stepped towards the spot where her sister's ghost had been when the ground began to shake violently, throwing the smooth Head Girl off her balance with a yelp.

"KELLY!" Screamed Tania, frustration showing on her face. With little amusement, the twins retreated out of Kelly's personal space when she awoke with a fright. Her eyes were trained on Kate, who, in seeing Kelly's rare show of disorientation smirked. Chiding herself she pulled up her mask and fixed the twins with an impassive look.
"What?"

"We're back!"

Big cheesy grins plastered on their faces told her so.

7:30PM, Miss Fritton's office

"…They were due back 2 hours ago!" Vented Kelly, pacing about the room and throwing her arms around. Expressing her deep felt worry and frustration.

"Do relax girlie. They probably stayed at the pub inn." Replied the headmistress, casually lighting a fag.

"Why would they do that when they have to come back here tomorrow?"
She whirled around and faced Fritton's Aunt, all her emotions displayed for the elder lady to take in.
"Grant it, the tottys are dumb enough but Belle is with them. I tried Belle's phone and it went straight to voice mail!"
Giving off a light chuckle, Miss Fritton aimed a black revolver at her mouth and pulled the trigger. Kelly watched irritated as the end of Miss Fritton's fag gave off a soft looking plume of smoke.

"Cell phone batteries don't last forever. I don't see what you're so worried about Jones. They are St Trinians. They'll turn up tomorrow. I promise you that."

Without a word, Kelly straightened and strode out the room. Miss Fritton was NEVER wrong. But then so were her instincts. Her instincts told her that something wasn't right.

"But then what is right at St Trinians." She murmured to herself as she took to the corridor.

Kate sat in Kelly's room. Waiting for her to return. There was no point in denying she was nervous but not because she was about to reveal personal information. More so along the lines of getting attacked by Kelly. Although the dark haired anarchist has promised to never loose control, Kate knew that promises were meant to be broken. Polly knew that as well as Kelly which was why Polly had been brought into this. As the Head Geek of the school, she was Kelly's adviser when she needed it or not. The redhead assumed the position and Kelly, having no grievances let her.

At the present moment, Polly sat at the Head Girls desk with her own laptop as well as Kate's. With a silence between them, Polly took the opportunity to attempt at relaxing the 16 year old.

"Self sacrifice, loyalty and resilience are hard to find in people. To a high degree anyway but to see it all in one person, that is rare."

"Your point?" Snorted Kate, her tolerance fading away.

"You are willing to go as far as to put your life on the line for others."

At the end of the dorm, Kate's enemy tottered into the room taking swigs from her flask. Sounds from the Head Girl's bedroom interrupted her 3rd swig and the leggy Russian stood there, swaying gently as if touched by a breeze.

With a blank face, the intoxicated teenager tipped her head to the side and took in the words.

"True, everyone has loyalty. But you have the right kind. Loyalty to the death, loyalty that cannot be bought. When you were threatened or challenged, you took up the challenge. You forced the threat. Not many people are like you Kate. Just tell Kelly everything. Don't do something that goes against your personal code because of fear. No matter what it is."
Kate met the geek's gaze, taking in the girl's words.

"Because at the end of the day, the price for wrong is higher then right."

Anoushka's expression fell. She felt a sudden weight press down on her heart. Her eyes burned with an intense anger. Anger at herself. She would have stayed like that if Kelly's footsteps weren't approaching. She would have stayed like that forever if she could. She didn't belong here. St Trinians never betrayed another St Trinian and she betrayed them all, the St Trinian code and its legacy.
"Alright Noushka?"

The Russian beauty looked up at Kelly. Blinking away emotion from her eyes.

"I am now Kelly Jones. I have decided to go on vacation for some months."

If Belle wasn't on her mind, Kelly would have noticed the change in her Trinski taster. If Belle wasn't on her mind, she would have sensed that Anoushka's tone gave off the truth that Anoushka wasn't going to return.

"Alright. Don't get to boozed up." Replied Kelly, her mind clearly elsewhere as she passed the Russian and headed for the door of her room.

There was a slight chill in the wind as Anoushka stepped out from the building.
Cell phone in hand, she made her way to the garages to her car.

The sky was especially black that night. No stars and no moon so by the light of her cellphone, Anoushka crossed the field, entered the garages, unlocked her car and sat down in the front seat.

Reaching up to the sun shield, her slim fingers pulled down the flap, exposing the mirror and her own reflection to herself.

Music from a Russian violin cut through the night. A Russian voice addressed Anoushka, ordering her to come to the warehouse by the river Thames.
"Anoushka my pet.Your time has come to serve your country."

Squeezing her eyes shut, Anoushka took a deep breath and answered:

"My country is not worthy to be Boris. I will not betray St. Trinians. No matter the consequences."
"You are foolish girl."

Anoushka's eyes snapped open and again moved to her reflection.

"No. I am St Trinian."

"You will not live to see Christmas."

Tiny chapter. But what the hey. I am a bit rusty but yano, gota start somewhere. So. See you next chapter.
