Thorn groaned she was sat in Science, possibly the most boring lesson ever.
To make matters worse Tala was annoying the hell out of her. He was
constantly asking questions about Mads. Although it was way irritating she
felt for him. He's been into Mads for years yet she barely acknowledges
him. One day Thorn would have to talk to her about it, one day Tala would
move on and she was sure Mads must feel something. Tala is pretty hot, all
the cheerleaders love him although not quite as much as they adore Kai.
What was even more annoying, was that she kept getting told off for talking!. Tala was sat there chatting constantly but it was her that kept getting told off. The only thing she had said in the last ten minutes was "Go away" to Tala. Or something to that extent. Using a few sharper words.
"Prickly" Tala was whispering trying to get her attention. Thorn nearly growled, he was using Kais nickname for her. Kai had always called her that because of her rather quick temper. Although that was slightly hypocritical as Kai is always getting worked up over something.
Thorn tried her best to ignore him but her patience was wearing thin. Very thin. She knew if she lost it with him, she'd get another detention. She had already had three detentions, she really didn't think she could survive another. Sixty minutes of listening to the ticking of a clock it wasn't the most fun. Also Kai and Tala had taken to lurking outside the window mouthing things to her. Even Mads had joined in. Traitor!. The teacher had given her an extra twenty minutes because he'd caught her giving them the finger. However he had assumed it was to him as Kai, Tala and Mads took to hiding everytime he looked in their direction. Now the stupid teacher thought there was something wrong with her. With the rude gestures to invisible people and all.
"Tala go fuck yourself" Thorn said quietly. Although not too quietly as she ended up being sent outside for the rest of the lesson. Thank God it wasn't a detention though.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Mads rolled her eyes, she was talking to Kai when all of a sudden a blonde blur jumped him. It was the ever needy, clingy thing Whoreleen. Mads was at a loss, she really couldn't understand why he would waste his time on her. She was a boring, needy, selfish, stupid, giggly, slow airhead. To name a few of her faults. Mads leant against her locker, a supremely disgusted look plastered on her face. She didn't even know why she was waiting for her stupid cousin, he didn't seem to mind ditching her for tall, fair and boring.
After several minutes Whoreleen strolled away a smug look on her face. Mads managed to stop herself from tripping her up, she'd get her just desserts soon enough. Mads scowl was replaced with a smirk. By Monday Whoreleen Fishface wouldn't look at all pleased with herself. Kai walked over to his locker situated, right next to his cousins.
"Don't even say it" He said to Mads not bothering to look at her. He knew she was about to start her usual anti-Doreleen rant. Kai shook his head, she had never liked any of his girlfriends. They was always some fault with them. She hadn't hated any as much as Dorleen though. She was protective of him, he couldn't exactly judge however. He was too protective of her as well. And Becca. To some extent even Mariah and Thorn.
"Well someone has to say it" Mads bit back heaving her large rucksack on to her back."None of your friends like Whoreleen. I wonder why" Mads said sarcastically.
Kai frowned that was true, not one of his friends liked Dorleen not even Tala and he likes all girls. Although obviosly Tala like Mads more then any other. People always seemed to think that Kai would be against Tala's crush on Mads. In fact he was all for it. Even though Tala was the biggest player there is (well second to Kai) Kai knew he'd never play Mads. Tala really actually cares for Mads but she would never believe it. She thinks that he just sees her as just another notch on the bed post. Secondly Tala would be too scared to hurt Mads because she would rip him from limb to limb. Kai smirked arrogantly, well she had learnt from the best.
"Look, nothing you can say is going to effect me" Kai said as they began to walk away. Mads suddenly marched ahead pissed off. Kai and Mads are so close they know each other better then anybody else but they always disagree on the Whoreleen thing.
"I wouldn't count on it" Mads muttered thinking about what that cow had said yesterday. Kai didn't seem to of heard her but he may just be pretending to prove she can't effect him.
Kai stopped and pulled her back, he gave her the puppy dog eyes. Mads rolled her eyes but she felt herself relenting anyway. He alwayd did that to get out of trouble and people always give in. Hes just too damn adorable. He smirked knowing she wasn't angry anymore, he pulled her in for a bear hug. Only with Mads and Becca would Kai show that much affection When Mads pulled back she could see Thorn standing awkwardly a few metres from them not wanting to interrupt.
Kai smiled at Mads "See ya later Maddy" he said affectionatly before heading off to find Tala. Mads chuckled as Kai walked past Thorn. She saw her friends expression sour immensly. No one could rile Thorn as much as her cousin. Mads noticed her friend wasn't coming closer. Thorn spoke as if she had read Mads mind.
"You have Kai germs" she said simply. Mads stared at her amused, she knew her disgust for Kai wasn't genuine. Everyone said they would make a awesome couple, people have been saying it for years. Ever since The Pool Incident. Mads smirked they had taped that, to use as blackmail. Mads still had it hidden. A plan began to form.
"You do realise me and Kai are related don't you?. We share the same blood, i have permanent Kai germs" Mads said raising her eyebrows.
Thorn smiled sheepishly "Oh yeah". A sudden shout from behind them made them spin round. Mariah was chasing a very scared looking Tyson down the corridor. She seemed to be attempting to hit him with her back pack. For an obese boy Tyson sure was quick!
Tyson was screaming "Help me", while a furious Mariah tried to hit him again. Mads managed to grab hold of Mariah restraining her. Thorn looked dissapointed, she wanted to see what Mariah would of done. Mariah was struggling to get out of Mads hold. Mads let her go finally but Tyson had already used the time to make a run for it. Thorn smirked, poor boy he was running straight for where Kai had gone.
Mariah growled angrily "What did you do that for, i was about to kill him"
"Yeah what did you do that for?" Thorn said, she wanted to see Tyson get killed. In fact she'd join in.
Mads looked thoughtful "Actually, Why did i stop you?. Lets all go kill him".
Mariah sighed sadly "Theres no point hes probably cowering in the toilets somewhere"
"Why were you attacking him anyway" Mads asked.
Thorn cut in "Because hes Tyson?"
Mariah smirked "Yeah thats about it, he was just pissing me off you know"
Mariah and Thorn began walking out of the corridor to find the others. Mads didn't follow instead she changed direction and headed for the gym.
"I have to speak to my sister" Mads called out after them.
"Becca?" Mariah questioned confused. Why does she want to talk to Becca, Mariah thought to herself. Becca and Mads barely ever speak to each other. Nobody really knows why, except for Kai. Everyone thinks that their just too different to get on well. The only thing they seem to have in common is their birthday. And Kai of course. Neither Becca or Mads speak about it and if you ask Kai he just tells you to mind your own business. In blunter terms though.
"Yes, i do only have one sister you know" Mads replied hurrying off.
"Wow something really must be up" Mariah giggled "She didn't even roll her eyes at me"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Mads found her sister with all the other Whoreleen clones. She started barging through the crowds, not really caring when she knocked a few cheerleaders over. When she got to the centre she found Whoreleen giving a pep talk, her clones were listening intently. They were discussing a new cheer or whatever. They stared at her distastefully, amid all the bubble gum pink and boring pastel shades Mads didn't quite fit in. With all the black and general depression stuff and all. They were also offended when she decided to actually wear colour. She always opted for the brightest colours, definitely no baby blue in sight.
Today she had decided on very dark blue cord trousers and a t-sirt that was a present from Kai. It sai 'crap' across it in the 'GAP' lettering. As worshippers of bland GAP clothes they found this outfit particularly offensive. It was also black, double the sin.
"Becca" Mads said loudly. Becca didn't even acknowledge her presence. When her so called friends were around Becca always treated her like a next door neighbour not a sister. Mads was furious but if she lost her temper then Becca definitly wouldn't talk to her.
"Rebecca" Mads said even louder, smiling a fake smile. Like Mads, Becca didn't like to be called by her full name. Mads sighed, her aunt and uncle had told them alot about their parents, all good of course. Mads could find one fault though, they had the crappiest choice in names. Becca looked up immediately, no one had called her that in a long time.
"What" she snapped. Mads beckoned for her to follow, which she did reluctantly. Mads pulled her sister into an empty classroom and closed the door.
"I have to tell you something" Mads said not sure how to continue.
Becca looked at the floor sullenly "Well....."
Mads stood silently. She wasn't sure what to do. Yesterday it had seemed simple, she would just blurt it out. Now she wasn't sure what to do. She suddenly realised that she didn't want to hurt her sisters feelings but honesty was always the best policy. Right?. RIGHT?
Mads said everything she had heard without looking at her sister. She had no idea how her twin would take it. Turns out not so good. The bell went just as Mads finished. Becca looked furious "Your lying......she.....your lying" she said as she rushed out of the room. Mads sighed. Well that went well.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Thorn and Mariah were talking about the Mads and Becca thing when Tala interrupted them. "Hey, do you two know whats going on with Mads and Becca" He asked them concerned. Mariah and Thorn exchanged glances.
"What do you mean" Mariah asked.
"Well, first of all i see Becca practically in tears coming out of a classroom. Then Mads comes running out looking upset aswell." Tala replied looking worried.
"Did you ask them what it was about" Thorn asked.
"Yeah, but Mads ignored me" Tala said, then frowned "but thats not really unusual"
"We'll ask Mads about it at lunch" Mariah said "although you know what shes like, she probably wont tell us"
Thorn smiled "It probably wasn't serious anyway, you know what those two are like together"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
It was lunchtime and as Mariah rightly guessed Mads was revealing nothing about what had happened between her and Becca. Instead she was staring sullenly at another table where Whoreleen was sat with Kai. She was attempting to spoon feed him, which he didn't exactly look thrilled about.
Unfortunatly for Thorn, Tyson was sat with them. He was currently tucking into a very large slice of chocolate cake. And Ray's. And Max's. And anyone elses food that was in reaching distance. Except for Mariah, he was acting very wary around her. Probably because of the fact she'd been trying to kill him earlier and that she'd just stabbed him in the hand with her fork. Multiple times.
Max groaned "Tyson you have a humoungus slice, why do you have to tuck into mine as well?" Tyson tried to answer but he just ended up spraying a mouthful of food on Ray as he did so. Who began to turn a shade of green. Well who wouldn't?. He was covered in mushed up cake and saliva. Tyson's saliva which made it worse Thorn grinned.
Mariah dropped her fork looking like she'd just lost her appetite. "Thats disgusting" she moaned staring at her own slab of cake.
Tyson grinned and asked her "So your not gonna eat that then". He looked down quickly and became silent when Mads gave him a glare Mads would be proud of. Mads hadn't noticed though, she was mournfully staring into the distance. No one tried to get her out of that mood though, probably because they were all scared that she might switch on them if they did.
Thorn hadn't been that bothered by Tysons cake spray. She'd seen far worse table manners from her little brother Will. The laziest, unhygienic boy ever. People thought her bedroom was bad, her brothers room had mould growing in it. "Oh look Tyson, Becca's got some of that cake maybe you should go hound her" Thorn pointed out sarcastically.
Everyone turned round to see Becca paying for her lunch at the counter. Mariah sniggered "I'm surprised that she chose that dessert, i can practically see her counting up the calories in her head".
Thorn laughed "She can count?" she asked in mock surprise. Everyone sniggered, nobody particularly liked Becca. She had always acted like an ice queen around them. Mads didn't say anything she was watching her sister like a hawk. Becca had obviously decided to not believe her then Mads thought sadly, as Becca made her way over to Whoreleen and Kai smiling sweetly.
Everyone on the table was watching Mads closely. They were all wondering why she was gazing so intently in that direction. Mads had been acting very odd this lunchtime. She hadn't said anything sarcastic at all. Not even to Tyson. Weird. Becca had sat opposite Whoreleen her back to the group. She must of said something weird as Whoreleen was looking shocked whereas Kai had his eyes narrowed.
Then all of a sudden Becca did something that made their jaws drop. She picked up the plate with the cake on it and then pressed it into Whoreleen's face. The whole canteen started laughing at Whoreleen, her face and hair was covered in chocolate. For once she looked a mess. The group saw Whoreleen turn to Kai as if asking for assistance. Kai though was glaring at her whatever Becca had said had really pissed him off. When she grabbed his arm, he just shrugged her off looking at her in disgust.
When Whoreleen realised she'd get no pity from Kai, she became angry. She rounded on Becca and lashed out, trying to half hit half scratch her. Becca caught her ex-friends fist with ease. Thorn and Mariah had always thought Becca was a weakling who didn't want to break a nail. They were shocked when Becca threw a punch back. One hell of a punch as well, it knocked Whoreleen right off her feet. She lay crumpled on the floor like a doll.
Everyone was staring, shocked. Whoreleen got up, she threw one more pleading look at Kai, who coldly looked away, before running out of the canteen.
Everyone was shocked, well apart from Mads who looked very happy and relieved. Mariah made semi syllables for a few minute before uttering "Whoah, where did that come from?".
Thorn smirked "I don't know, a good place". Mads was silent. She smiled to herself, 'she did believe me'. Mads and Becca in the past had been the best of friends until they were about 9 years old. Then Becca had discovered the 'in crowd' and spent her time trying to impress them. The twins drifted apart so much that they barely ever talked to each other. Nobody could even remember that they had been close, well except Kai.
After a few minutes people went back to their lunch still gossipping about what had happened. Thorn could see that most of the girls in the canteen looked very happy, well Kai was single again. Without a word Mads got up and approached her sister and cousin.
Thorn and her friends watched as the two sisters hugged. Ray shook his head "This has been one weird week"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
It was finally the end of the first week back at Hellingfield. Thorn was relieved, she could now slob out over the weekend. She wouldn't have to think about math exams, timetable and gym kits. Of course she did have alot of homework, but she didn't plan to start that until the night before it was due. If she even remembered she had homework. She just wanted ti leave and have a quiet week end.
Of course being Thorn her plans never go as .....erm... planned. She was moments away from leaving the school when two blurs ran by nearly knocking her over. A few seconds later a furious looking Mads followed slowly. She seemed to be pulling along Tala by his hand as he lay on the floor trying to claw away in the opposite direction. A large group followed after, it was Mariah and the others. They seemed to be trying to look serious although most were failing miserably. Mariah kept snorting with laughter then pretending she had been choking or coughing when Mads glared at her.
Thorn looked at Mads for an explanation however she looked slightly busy. For some reason Tala was clinging on to the door frame as Mads tried to drag him out the main door. With one hand Tala kept trying to swat Tala away. Mariah started giggling openly now. Well until Mads silenced her with a deathly look.
"So whats going on then" Thorn asked grinning.
"Well" Lee began "Kai and Becca sort of handcuffed Mads and Tala together".
Thorn started laughing hysterically. After a few minutes she managed to control herself. Well she was still giggling, but she was controlled enough to say " So that was Kai and Becca who sprinted past me a few minutes ago"
"Yep" said a grinning Max "They've gone to hide the only set of keys in their house"
"And Tala?" Thorn questioned.
"Well Tala's trying to stall for time" Ray explained.
"Yeah" Said Mariah "because to him this is a very satisfactory arrangement".
Thorn laughed, and looked at Tala. It was true he looked very happy at the situation. In fact he was grinning from ear to ear still clinging at the door frame. Mads however didn't seem to be at all happy. She was trying to hit Tala but he kept pulling on the handcuffs so that she missed.
Mads managed to dislodge Tala from the door. As she dragged him along he tried to cling at anything including Mariahs leg.
After a few more minutes of scuffling where Mads hit everyone but Tala, it came to a halt. Tala got up and smirked "They've probably hidden the keys now so lets go. It's going to be so much fun"
As everyone began to walk their seperate ways Mads started shouting at them. "Where do you think you guys are going?". Before anyone could say anything she carried on yelling.
"You are all going to come with me and help me find those goddamn keys because i don't wan't be chained to him much longer" she shouted pointing at a grinning Tala.
Ray tried to argue "I've got to get ho......". When he caught sight of Mads very intimidating glare he seemed to change his mind and instead offered to help.
One by one they all decided to help. Somewhat gruggingly though. Thorn moaned "But i wanted to slob out at home" after a moments thought she brightened "Are you gonna hurt Kai? because if you are i want to be there"
Mads smirked "I'm going to kill him. And also Becca but first i'm gonna find out why he even owns a pair of handcuffs". "Kinky bastard" she muttered.
Thorn sighed so much for no more excitement. At least she'll see Kai getting murdered.
What was even more annoying, was that she kept getting told off for talking!. Tala was sat there chatting constantly but it was her that kept getting told off. The only thing she had said in the last ten minutes was "Go away" to Tala. Or something to that extent. Using a few sharper words.
"Prickly" Tala was whispering trying to get her attention. Thorn nearly growled, he was using Kais nickname for her. Kai had always called her that because of her rather quick temper. Although that was slightly hypocritical as Kai is always getting worked up over something.

However he had assumed it was to him as Kai, Tala and Mads took to hiding everytime he looked in their direction. Now the stupid teacher thought there was something wrong with her. With the rude gestures to invisible people and all.
"Tala go fuck yourself" Thorn said quietly. Although not too quietly as she ended up being sent outside for the rest of the lesson. Thank God it wasn't a detention though.

Everyone was staring, shocked. Whoreleen got up, she threw one more pleading look at Kai, who coldly looked away, before running out of the canteen.
Everyone was shocked, well apart from Mads who looked very happy and relieved. Mariah made semi syllables for a few minute before uttering "Whoah, where did that come from?".
Thorn smirked "I don't know, a good place". Mads was silent. She smiled to herself, 'she did believe me'. Mads and Becca in the past had been the best of friends until they were about 9 years old. Then Becca had discovered the 'in crowd' and spent her time trying to impress them. The twins drifted apart so much that they barely ever talked to each other. Nobody could even remember that they had been close, well except Kai.
After a few minutes people went back to their lunch still gossipping about what had happened. Thorn could see that most of the girls in the canteen looked very happy, well Kai was single again. Without a word Mads got up and approached her sister and cousin.
Thorn and her friends watched as the two sisters hugged. Ray shook his head "This has been one weird week"

It was finally the end of the first week back at Hellingfield. Thorn was relieved, she could now slob out over the weekend. She wouldn't have to think about math exams, timetable and gym kits. Of course she did have alot of homework, but she didn't plan to start that until the night before it was due. If she even remembered she had homework. She just wanted ti leave and have a quiet week end.
Of course being Thorn her plans never go as .....erm... planned. She was moments away from leaving the school when two blurs ran by nearly knocking her over. A few seconds later a furious looking Mads followed slowly. She seemed to be pulling along Tala by his hand as he lay on the floor trying to claw away in the opposite direction. A large group followed after, it was Mariah and the others. They seemed to be trying to look serious although most were failing miserably. Mariah kept snorting with laughter then pretending she had been choking or coughing when Mads glared at her.
Thorn looked at Mads for an explanation however she looked slightly busy. For some reason Tala was clinging on to the door frame as Mads tried to drag him out the main door. With one hand Tala kept trying to swat Tala away. Mariah started giggling openly now. Well until Mads silenced her with a deathly look.
"So whats going on then" Thorn asked grinning.
"Well" Lee began "Kai and Becca sort of handcuffed Mads and Tala together".
Thorn started laughing hysterically. After a few minutes she managed to control herself. Well she was still giggling, but she was controlled enough to say " So that was Kai and Becca who sprinted past me a few minutes ago"
"Yep" said a grinning Max "They've gone to hide the only set of keys in their house"
"And Tala?" Thorn questioned.
"Well Tala's trying to stall for time" Ray explained.
"Yeah" Said Mariah "because to him this is a very satisfactory arrangement".
Thorn laughed, and looked at Tala. It was true he looked very happy at the situation. In fact he was grinning from ear to ear still clinging at the door frame. Mads however didn't seem to be at all happy. She was trying to hit Tala but he kept pulling on the handcuffs so that she missed.
Mads managed to dislodge Tala from the door. As she dragged him along he tried to cling at anything including Mariahs leg.
After a few more minutes of scuffling where Mads hit everyone but Tala, it came to a halt. Tala got up and smirked "They've probably hidden the keys now so lets go. It's going to be so much fun"
As everyone began to walk their seperate ways Mads started shouting at them. "Where do you think you guys are going?". Before anyone could say anything she carried on yelling.
"You are all going to come with me and help me find those goddamn keys because i don't wan't be chained to him much longer" she shouted pointing at a grinning Tala.
Ray tried to argue "I've got to get ho......". When he caught sight of Mads very intimidating glare he seemed to change his mind and instead offered to help.
One by one they all decided to help. Somewhat gruggingly though. Thorn moaned "But i wanted to slob out at home" after a moments thought she brightened "Are you gonna hurt Kai? because if you are i want to be there"
Mads smirked "I'm going to kill him. And also Becca but first i'm gonna find out why he even owns a pair of handcuffs". "Kinky bastard" she muttered.
Thorn sighed so much for no more excitement. At least she'll see Kai getting murdered.
