Louise is here, after a small rest. So here she is, here's......Wendy!

#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#

I sighed as I closed the door behind me, despair was like a wet towel that I was being hit with. Ace liked Rory? What the hell did that mean? Does she like him? Are they dating? The thought clenched my heart tightly, tears pooled in the brim of my eyes, I collapsed onto my bed, burying my face in the pillow.

How? How could Ace do that to me? How could Rory? I didn't think she even liked Ace, that-that backstabber.

A soft whimpering was heard at my door, I looked and saw a brown nose trying to edge itself in, "Come on, Hades."

After hearing my words of encouragement he finally let himself in, the door shut itself and Hades sat down and looked up at me with pleading eyes. I noticed the scratch on his nose, "Damn cat." I muttered, "Piece of shitty fluff."

"You don't like it much here either do you, boy?" I said scratching him behind the ear.

He nuzzled into my hand in reply, I smiled. Why did animals always know the right things to do?

I wiped my eyes brushing away the gloom, I laid down and motioned for Hades to join me on the bed by patting an empty space.

I closed my eyes emptying my head of all thoughts.

#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#

I opened my eyes and saw my bedroom that was flooded by the sun's light, I yawned and glanced at the small silver clock on my cabinet.

"Shit!" I cried as I stumbled out of bed, I looked closer to make sure the clock was working, then glanced at my watch to make sure. "Shit." I mumbled as I gathered in the figures, it was quater past ten, break begun at half past ten at school, I'd missed school, well half of the morning.

I looked in the mirror and realised that I looked like I did last night, except ruffled. I ran my hand through my hair and wiped away some of the make-up, making it streak halfway across my face. Taking a tissue I scrubbed away at my face, but some eyeliner refused to leave around my eyes, I shrugged, so people at school would see me wearing make-up? No biggie.

Gathering my books from the desk, I said bye to Hades, I rushed out the room and almost tripped over Tabatha, it was hard to resist the temptation of kicking her, but I was too late for school already, although seeing a cat fly would amuse me...

I left her, and ran down the stairs, hearing her hiss behind me. I jogged into the light blue kitchen and noticed dishes in the sink, Rory never cleaned up after herself, I reached into the fridge and put a steak into Hades bowl, then grabbed an apple for myself, slipped on my sneakers and ran like hell to school, almost forgetting to lock the door.

I was in school twenty minutes later, break would be ending soon. I walked more calmly through the entrance, and while receiving many weird looks from many people, I walked to my locker.

Chris Chambers was standing next to my locker, leaning on his, we weren't really friends, but our lockers had been next to each other for almost three years, so we were made to like each other, I'd say that myself and Chris were acquaintances that shared few classes together.

I fumbled with the lock and banged at the door in my frustration and it opened with a slight whine. I smiled proudly, turning to Chris, I saw his open mouthed expression.

"Wendy?" He asked me, looking at me unbelievingly.

"Nay, I art the Queen of Sheba, this Wendy ye' speak of, laddy, I'm just using the lassie's locker." I replied sarcasticly.

He got down on his knees, "Your Majesty, I am not worthy."

"Knock it off, Chambers." I replied waving my hand in dismissal.

He stood back up, grinning, "Okay, but why does the Queen of Sheba talk Scottish?"

"I don't know, everything's been screwed up lately." I sighed, leaning my forehead on my locker.

"Yeah, like you, cos' you look really different, almost attractive!" He faked terror.

I stuck my tongue out at him and turned back to my locker getting out some more books, "What did I miss?" I asked, changing the subject, we both had English today together, although I had missed it.

"Well, Gordie got after school detention." He explained, running a hand through his hair.

"Gordie? You're kidding me." I said, chuckling, Gordie Lachance was one of Chris' friends, therefore I had talked to him while he was with Chris at his locker, Gordie was also in our English class.

"Nope, he got into this argument with Mr Herbert about five minutes into the first lesson about similes and metaphors." He said smiling.

"Anything else?" I said, trying to imagine Gordie arguing with a teacher.

"You missed an half an hour speech about poetry in the second lesson..."

I bounced slightly, boy, did I hate poetry, "Yay!"

"...So I took notes for you." Chris said handing me several pieces of paper covered in handwriting, while he was smiling triumphantly.

I grumbled and shoved the notes into my locker and closed it, "Might as well walk to class, starts in fifteen minutes."

"Yeah," Chris replied walking with me outside to another block of the school, we didn't have our next class together, he was working back inside school, but he wanted to recreate the argument that was Gordie vs. Mr Herbert for me.

I laughed as Chris widened his eyes to do an impression of Gordie, we were so busy laughing that neither of us noticed where we were walking.

The next thing I knew, I had bumped into someone, knocking me to the ground, I looked up to see Rory and the Cobras looking down at me.
