I know that Americans might not know about this firework night thingie but it is really cool. At night you set off a load of fireworks and watch them. And have a big bonfire! Not that I have anything against Americans. You get thanksgiving! (LUCKY XD) I DO NOT MEAN ANY OFFENCE WHAT SO EVER!
The Gang's all here.
Mr. Knom
It was now the morning of November the fifth. This of course is Bonfire night. Tonight the school is doing a bonfire in the middle of the school field and are setting of a load of fireworks. The gang had nothing better to do, so they all got tickets to arrive for nine o'clock and leave about midnight. It was on a Friday so they would probably stay out later but that is when the school closes its gates. It had been four days since Lilly started Gotham high. She was still her old self though. Still very quiet and hasn't got much self-confidence. But you could now find her talking to Kori and Rachel the most but she did sometimes chat to the others. She still didn't have any lunch or breakfast but she sat at the table and listened mostly, but when she plucked up enough courage she would add a sentence or two into their conversations.
Lilly walked to the coffee shop on her own every morning but it was only two blocks away from her house. She got there just after Victor, Bee and Jinx but before the rest of them. She didn't drink tea or coffee it was always water. Or if she was feeling happier than usual she had some fruit juice. That had only happened once. And it didn't go so well because some jocks behind her started to make piggy noises so she gave her drink to one of the others and didn't say another thing for the whole time they were in the coffee shop.
Lilly had never worn a skirt. She hated her legs and tights got on her nerves. And long skirts make her look bigger so it was always jeans or combat trousers and they always baggy so you didn't know what sort of legs she had. On her feet like always were her platform trainers that were called Buffalo Boots, or just Buffalos for short. She was daring today. She wore a blue and black t-shirt that had a low cut, a square shape neck, which showed some cleavage of her amazing boobs. But over the top was a large light pink jacket that was zipped up so she could still hide the outstanding size of her breasts. Her hair was gorgeous like always. Naturally straight, so it didn't have that fake shiny look if you have just used straightners, and the colour shimmered in the light. She still had they grey eyes but they seemed to be a little more blue when she is feeling happy, but when she gets insulted like always they quickly fade back to the grey.
Libby woke Kori up that morning.
"Come on Kor get up, you got five minutes before Richard and Alfred arrive to take you to the coffee shop."
"Do you really mean that? Ten minutes?"
"No I said five minutes, so get up. Breakfast is waiting for you on the table."
"Thanks" Kori shouted as she shot out of bed and into her shower room. Three minutes later she was out of the shower and was in her wardrobe trying to pick an outfit. She chose quickly a pair of three quarter length black pants and little white trainers with black lines on the side. She grabbed the first white top she saw which was one with a low v-neck. It would have been plain but it had a black criss cross pattern going across her chest. She shoved it over her head and brushed her hair quickly and rapidly put mascara and lip-gloss on. She ran down the stairs and grabbed her bag from under them and speed walked into the kitchen where she found two pieces of toast on the table for her. She shoved the toast down her throat and popped in two pieces of chewing gum in the mouth when she heard her doorbell ring. She looked in the mirror and saw that she looked ok, since she only had five minutes to get ready. She put a black hooch coat over the top and put her mini hairbrush and compact mirror in her trouser pocket then went to answer the door. Richard was stood there with some baggy jeans and plain green long top on. His hair and glasses were the same. Quickly Kori pushed Richard all the way down her drive way and to the merc that was parked on the curb.
"What you pushing for?"
"Just get in the car, or we will miss the guys at the Costa Coffee so shift your bum before I move it myself."
"Ok, I'm going. Chill."
Richard opened the door but fell inside instead of sliding into the back seats. Kori laughed at the site of Richard wallowing around on the car floor trying to get on the leather seats. Alfred gave a chuckle at the sight. Richard finally managed to get off the floor and on the seat with help from Kori. Kori gracefully sat down and Richard watched as her ruby red hair swung across his face when she turned to close the door.
"Your hair is beautiful Kori, but I don't want to eat it! You just swung your hair in my face!"
"Good."
"Might I say you look fantastic this morning."
"Thanks guess how long it took me to get ready today" Kori had finally relaxed and started to breathe normally instead of quickly.
"It must have took you hours to look that good"
"Nope in about five minutes! That's why I was rushing you. You looked really funny when you fell over you know"
"That's because you pushed me"
"Well, I told you to shift your bum or I would so I warned you!"
They both laughed, then fell into a comfortable silence. Kori then asked Alfred how he was and asked him what he was up to like what she does every morning. And Alfred politely replied like always.
Rachel was also in a rush that morning. Garfield had decided to have a pillow fight with anyone who tried to wake him up, the only person is Rachel so they just had a half an hour pillow war in Garfield's bedroom. After it Rachel looked at the clock and pushed Garfield out of bed and sent him to get changed. He came in about five minutes later with only his jeans and shoes on. He had a light green top in one hand and a purple and green on in the other. Rachel turned to look at him. She briefly glanced at his naked chest but she was too much in a hurry to admire it properly.
"This or this?"
"I don't care Gar, just shove one on."
"Just say which one Rach."
"Fine…purple and green one ok?"
"Thank you" Garfield put the green and purple one on and threw the light green one over his shoulder.
"When we get back, you are picking that up"
"Really"
"Yes, now get out and for god sake Gar remember your bag today. We don't want a repeat of yesterday do we?" Garfield smiled cheekily but slung his bag over his shoulder and walked out. Rachel rolled her eyes but smiled when she watched him swing his hips, overly, she grabbed her own bag and walked out after him. She locked the door and walked up behind Garfield, put her hands on either side of his hips and forcefully stopped them from swaying about.
"Stop swaying your hips, you look like you have just had leg surgery"
"Get your hands of me, unless you want to keep them on for something else" he muttered but also laughing when he turned. He winked but Rachel removed her hands from his waist, one hand came in contact with his upper arm in a playful hit. After she hit him she slid her hand down from the top of his arm down to his hand and laced her fingers with his.
"Aww, I liked your hands on me"
"Pervert"
"What you are my girlfriend!"
"Not for much longer if you stay like that" she said jokingly. She wouldn't dump him now or ever. Not after everything they have been through.
In response he just squeezed her hand gently.
Victor, Bee, Lilly and Jinx all sat at the table. Bee was wearing the white halter neck top while Jessie was wearing one of her black dresses like usual. Bee had some long black trousers on and black trainers and Jessie had her purple and black tights and ankle boots. Victor was wearing baggy jeans and a blue Nike hoodie. That matched his Nike trainers. Next to arrive were Kori and Richard. They quickly said their hellos and ordered their drinks. Soon after that Rachel and Garfield came walking through the doors. Rachel sat in the middle or Kori and Lilly. Lilly looked at the new message on Rachel's top for today. It was black and in big bold yellow letters it said-WARNING: THIS BITCH BITES. Lilly laughed at the message quietly and began to drink her water again.
"So are we all coming tonight?"
"Yup. So Jinx made any other friends except that girl called Emily?"
"Nope but a few more people don't have neat faces anymore."
"You really have to stop punching people's faces in you know"
"When they stop calling, they stop getting their faces distorted. Its as simple as that"
Everyone laughed quietly then quickly finished off their drinks to get to school with out being too late. Jinx saw Emily walking to their form room so Jessie went off earlier to walk with her.
"Hiya Jinx, kicked anyone's butt lately?"
Jessie smiled, winked then linked arms with the petite girl with red and brown hair.
"You know it Emily, you know it."
Emily burst out laughing. Halfly because of Jessie and halfly because a boy in their form called Jamie just fell over a bench. Kori linked onto Rachel and held hands with Richard and Rachel did the same but with Garfield instead of Richard. Victor had an arm around Bee and Bee put her arm around him. Lilly walked to the side on her own. She didn't have a boyfriend to hold hands with or put her arm around. Jessie didn't either but Jessie didn't seem to mind. Lilly sighed and looked away from the group. Her eyes caught a tall guy with sandy blonde hair and big bluey-green eyes. She blushed when he waved and smiled at her. She smiled back then he winked. Lilly thought that soon her face would set on fire from the heat from the blush that was across her cheeks. She turned back and looked at Kori.
"Why are you blushing Lilly?"
Lilly put her hands to her face and noticed the heat that was radiating from them. She tried to cover it up by wrapping her scarf across her face as well as her neck
"Nothing." She mumbled through the wool of her scarf. Kori raised an eyebrow and let go of Richard's hand and Rachel's arm and went over to her. She linked on to her arm and with her other hand pulled the scarf down from her face that was still glowing red.
"Yes you are, come on. Who do you like?"
"I don't know his name…" she said but realised the mistake she just made. She just admitted that she did like someone. Kori will want to know more. Lilly didn't even know him, as in personality. She had never seen him before. But he was sure hot and he didn't just laugh at her, he smiled waved and winked. Just thinking about his cute smile the blush started to glow more.
"So you do like someone? Come on Lilly spill it!"
"I don't know him. I just saw him over there! I don't know anything else about him"
"Well, what did he do? Did you have eye contact?"
"Briefly"
"What did he do then?"
"Waved, smiled and winked. He looked so hot. I bet he won't be interested in me. I'm just podgy Lilly. I bet he has a really pretty girlfriend too and…"
"You should go up to him and talk to him. At least get to know his name!"
"I am not going to go up to him, and just start a random conversation."
"Please? I will come along and help you?"
"If I do, don't just go up to him and tell him just like that, but not now. At break ok?"
"At least point him out to me now. So I know what he looks like at break."
Lilly turned and pointed at the tall one with the nice hair. She blushed yet again when he turned and saw her and Kori looking at him. He gave Lilly a small wave. Lilly waved back but dragged Kori off before she ran up to him.
"Don't say a word to the others ok?"
"Lilly, he is a hot one. I'm sure he had just fallen in love with you there and then."
"Whatever"
"Lilly he waved again! And he wasn't waving at me!"
"So, I bet he liked you better anyway. You are so much prettier than me"
"Don't say that! He was waving at you! He was smiling at you! He was winking at you for god sake Lilly! He likes you!" Lilly sighed but she felt a warm fuzzy feeling when Kori was saying that. They caught up with the rest of them. Lilly put her finger to her lips when only Kori was looking to tell her to shut up about the mystery boy.
Christopher was with his friends when the girl that he liked walked past. He had been secretly spying on her all week, since she arrived. She never seemed to notice him. He thought she was perfect. She was very intelligent and shy. Everybody made fun of her because of the way she looked but he didn't mind. He liked her because she was different and she wasn't just another pretty girl with no brains. She had an air of mystic about her. Girls who wanted him often crowded Chris but he didn't want them. He wanted one of those girls who are one in a million. He was sure that there was no other girl like that one. He found out her name was Lilly Bourne, when she was talking to a teacher. He liked girls with a bit of brains. Lilly was just the one he wanted; he knew that he could make her life better and make her more confident. He noticed that sometimes she would drift away from her friends and sit down and write in this notebook she kept with her at all times. He once tried to approach her but the tall brown girl sat down next to her so he didn't. He also noticed that she wrote in a code and she never let anyone else see her book. He liked her a lot. He was just so drawn to the mystery that she was. But Chris was also too shy to actually go and talk to her.
In viewpoint all the guys noticed that Lilly wasn't quite feeling ok. She was smiling a lot more and she answered her name with confidence when sir read it out. She even back chatted to Katrina when she shouted over an insult to her. Lilly just shouted back and that shut Kitten up for the rest of the lesson. Nobody could quite figure out what made her so bold but Kori just sat there smiling. Her smile grew even wider, when Lilly looked at her she noticed that her eyes were nearly the deep blue that they were originally were. Richard noticed his girlfriend grinning like a child who had just been given a large chocolate ice cream.
"What you smiling like that for?"
"Lilly"
"I know, she seems a lot happier."
"Why shouldn't she be?"
"No reason. But I don't want her becoming something she's not"
"I never knew you cared bout her like that"
"Well she is part of the gang."
"I'm glad you care for your friends Richard."
Richard smiled then looked at Lilly who had un-zipped her jacket at the top and was doodling happily on a piece of paper.
They were heading out for English next. They went to their normal room instead of the library. Malchoir was waiting for them. He told them to line up at the back of class, he was putting them into a seating plan. He was sick of them being too noisy.
"Right, I'm not going to put you with your friends so don't moan. Or I will just give you a detention. It is that simple."
Everybody looked at each other nervously. Malchoir got a piece of paper and began reel people's name out in pairs and sat them down on their desks.
In the end our friends were paired up with:
Richard and Roy
Garfield and Aaron
Victor and Karl
Rachel and Terra
Kori and Katrina
Bee and Carry Ann
And Lilly with Barbara.
Everyone in that class was having an argument with each other so at the end Malchoir said that they could sit where they wanted next lesson because they just wouldn't shut up from shouting at each other. They smiled at each other proudly. It was break now and Lilly promised Kori she would try and talk to the boy. Lilly didn't want to but she promised and she doesn't break promises. Kori told them that she and Lilly had to do something. And that they would be back after break. They gang just shrugged but looked mildly interested in what they were up to but didn't question it. Kori grabbed Lilly's hand and led her around the school to find this boy that she liked.
Chris was standing alone in the corner where he first saw Lilly. He was daydreaming when he saw her and her friend walking towards him. He had nowhere to run so he would pretend he didn't notice them unless they spoke to him. And if they did, he was going to act like he knew nothing about her, like her name or the notebook. He was trying to ignore them but they were coming closer and closer. Then they stopped about twenty yards away from him and talked. He was trying to listen but decided to just carry on looking at the clouds. Then Lilly nodded and she came forward on her own. Chris started to shake a little but still looked at the sky as if he just saw a UFO.
"What are you looking at?" Lilly said quietly. She had no idea what to say or what to do but Kori said to just go with the flow. She could feel her right arm shaking like mad so she put it behind her back. Chris looked at her and smiled bashfully.
"Eermm nothing much. So what's your name?"
Lilly wanted to just run and hide from embarrassment but she knew that Kori would kill her.
"Lilly Bourne. What's yours?"
"That's a pretty name. And mine is Christopher Knom. But you can call me Chris."
"If only I was pretty like my name." She said sighing quietly. Chris looked at her and smiled again.
"I don't think you're unpretty!" Lilly looked into his eyes that looked like the colour a greeny sea. She gave a small smile to him.
"Why what do you see me as?"
"A mystery"
"Is that a compliment?"
"You could say that"
"Well what do you mean by that I'm a mystery?" Lilly had no idea where the confidence was coming from to question him about his compliment. In fact she didn't know where the courage had come to even start a conversation but it was going well. So she's going to keep it up.
"You have to solve a mystery. I want to solve you. You are hiding something I want to know what. I want to know what I will find."
Lilly was taken aback by this answer but very flattered none the less.
"I think you would be disappointed with what you find" she said looking into his eyes again. Chris had no idea where he thought of complimenting her with mysterious riddles but it seemed to be working. He could see her blushing slowly but he was glad that she sort of impressed by his conversation skills.
"You need to be sure of your self. And do you have a date for tonight?"
Lilly looked wide-eyed at him. Was he asking her out on a date? She had never had a boyfriend since year six in primary school. She slowly shook her head but didn't take her eyes of his.
"Neither do I. Would you like to go with me?"
Lilly's face displayed a look of happy shock. She didn't know whether to kiss him right here and now or just hug him and say yes. She decided to just hug him. It's abit too early for kissing him. He only just asked her out on a date. She reached out and gave him a hug. At first he was surprised that she did but he relaxed into it and gently hugged her back. When she drew back he bent down and brushed his lips across hers. He lent back and whispered gently.
"I'm glad you are my girlfriend." He smiled again and winked. Lilly just stood there and watched him walk off towards the school doors. Lilly was still standing there, still tasting his lips. She felt like she could just scream and jump up and down until she died of excitement. She just got a boyfriend! Kori stood there dumbstruck too. She watched the whole thing; she had a front row seat to probably the best day of Lilly's life so far. Kori ran up to her and gave her a big hug as they both jumped up and down with glee.
"I am so happy for you Lilly! He is so right for you!"
"Thank you. And Kori I am forever in your debt. I could never had done this without you!"
"That is what friends are for. Are you going to dress up or go for casual?"
"Hold on, I'm only just getting over that one of the hottest guys in school asked me out. I haven't thought about what im going to wear." Then it just dawned on her. "Oh My God, what am I going to wear? You have got to help me Kori. I know you and Rachel come to my house tonight and help me chose. Will you?"
"Of course! Come on. I have to tell the others. Our very own Lilly has a boyfriend!" Lilly's eyes had come back to their natural deep dark blue for the first time in years. She couldn't help but smile. She even asked Kori for some lip-gloss. She had never worn make-up before and she felt so happy she let Kori put mascara on her as well. Lilly was on top of the world. Nothing could bring her down not even Katrina and her preppy friends.
Next in maths all Lilly's friends and even her enemies had noticed her eyes. They were all amazed at how deep the blue really was. They defiantly had sapphires in them and they looked like the midnight sky. They were such an enchanting blue. She sat down and all her friends when the maths lesson started came and sat around her table. She was still grinning.
"Lilly, your eyes are amazing. Why did you ever let them get to that depressing grey colour?" Garfield blurted out when he saw the twinkle that was sparkling in her eyes.
"Thanks Gar. I don't know but I won't let them get like that as long as Chris is around."
They all looked at her shocked except of course Kori who was smiling smugly.
"Chris? Who is Chris?"
Lilly smiled but at the same her blush crept onto her cheeks again.
"My boyfriend" she whispered almost silently.
Kori looked disgusted at Lilly. She just got her self an amazing boyfriend and she wasn't broadcasting it across the world. She nudged Lilly and whispered in her ear.
"Why are you whispering it? Shout it out to your friends Lilly. Be proud."
Lilly nodded and said more loudly and boldly.
"My boyfriend" all her friends smiled at her and congratulated her. Katrina walked over and looked down her nose at Lilly.
"What did you say fatty face?"
Kori nudged Lilly again to tell Katrina to shove off and that Chris was her boyfriend. At first Lilly was going to just ignore her but Chris's smile came into her mind and she glared up at Katrina.
"I said Chris Knom is my boyfriend, ok did you get that our will I have to say it louder?" Katrina looked shocked but regained her glaring face.
"Like he would go out with you"
Lilly had enough of being shoved around, she stood to her full height and towered over Katrina and slapped her so hard that you could hear the smack in the next classroom. As her friends were cheering her on.
"I dare you to say it again. Go on I dare you"
Katrina brought her hand to her red face and whispered so only Lilly could hear.
"Fatty Face"
Lilly brought back her hand but changed it from an open hand to a fist and brought it straight into her face. Katrina staggered back. A bruise was slowly coming through her skin, and layers of foundation. Katrina's eyes looked at Lilly's deep blue ones. Even though they were blue they seemed to be on fire.
"I am fed up with taking your shit. Insult me again and I swear that you won't wake up the next day." Katrina couldn't manage a glare she walked back to her chair and everyone was cheering on Lilly. Even all the jocks that made fun of her. Lilly sat back and looked at her friends who were all patting her on the back. Mr Kindle looked amused but couldn't admit it so he sent Lilly to stand outside for ten minutes. But he agreed. It was about time that somebody hit her. We were all waiting for someone else though. Lilly walked out and slammed the door. After that Lilly turned to her old self again. She was silent again but her friends knew that she would never be so un self certain. She still had the blue in her eyes and the gold in her hair and she practically glowed. But she still let no one look at her notebook. She was still didn't eat but her eyes told everything for her.
At lunch they went over to B&B's and whom else did they see there but Chris on a table on his own. Chris noticed Lilly and waved to her. Lilly waved to him then told him to come over to their table for lunch. He gave a tiny smile and went and sat next to Lilly. He ordered a blueberry muffin and coffee for him and the glass of water for Lilly. Lilly smiled bashfully when he put his arm around her waist. Everyone ordered their food and sat talking about tonight. Meanwhile Rachel was talking to Chris to get to know him better.
"So, what do you like about Lilly?"
"What is there not to like? The brains and hidden beauty."
"Are you a poet by any chance?"
"I was wondering that when I was complimenting her, by saying she was a mystery that I wanted to solve."
"If I was into that sort of thing I would probably say cute. But im not so I guessing I will say soppy."
"Don't you have a boyfriend?"
"Yep, and he is about as intelligent as a plank of wood…aren't you Gar?" Rachel looked in Gar's direction. Gar looked at her and knew that she was commenting on his stupidity so he just nodded his head and carried on with his chat with the others.
"See, but I love him."
"Okay. That had got to be one of the weirdest relationships ever. Goth and comedian."
"Well I like to be different and he isn't that bad when you get to know him. Not that bad."
Chris smiled at Rachel. All of Lilly's friends were beautiful but they didn't have that same hidden factor as Lilly did. He was really lucky to get someone like Lilly. Girls like her come along once in a lifetime but mostly never.
Okay another chappie done. What did you think? I think it was really sweet that Chris liked her for the things that you couldn't see. Remember facts from this it will help u understand later chappies! Please review thnx TOODLE POP
Love ya all
