Where is she off?
This morning it was back to school again. On Sunday they all got back together and met up for some games in the park and just hang out until tomorrow when they had to get back to school. But today was Monday and Richard woke up and nearly jumped out of his skin, because looking at him from about three inches away from his face was a beautiful red head, staring at him intently. Kori smiled sweetly when she saw Richard jump but then calm down again and brush his lips against hers. Richard always slept with his sunglasses on when anyone was sleeping over, so still no one had seen his bright blue eyes. Richard sat up stiffly and looked around his dimly lit room. Kori smiled at his confused face, because he couldn't quite see that Alfred was in the room too.
"Hiya Robin, Good sleep?"
"Yeah thanks. Why did you call me Robin?"
"Well I said I would, so I am. Come on breakfast is waiting for you on the table." Kori said quietly before gently kissing him againand walked out of the room silently. Richard got of his bed then Alfred decided to make his presence known.
"Good Morning Master Dick. Itrust you had a pleasant rest?"
Richard again jumped out of his skin; he wasn't used to be awake yet. He gave the old man a scowl but it turned into a smile.
"Miss Kori requested that I gave you a shock to wake you up properly. I hope I have succeeded?"
"Yeah Alf, I sure am awake. And I will get Kori back later. Thank you."
Alfred nodded before leaving Richard to shower and dress.
Richard got dressed into a pair of baggy jeans and long 'Diesel' t-shirt that was a nice shade of red. He gelled his hair and adjusted his sunglasses. He walked out and down stairs to the kitchen where Kori was waiting for him. She was wearing a short denim skirt with glitter on and tank top that had Tigger on. It was a deep blue and had an orange tigger on with '99 percent bouncy' on it. Her hair was in two low pigtails today and she had simplistic make up on her face. She smiled at Richard.
"Did you have a good wake up call?"
"Personally it would have been better with a siren but thank you anyway," he said sarcastically. He sat down next to Kori and Alfred placed a plate of toast in front of him. Kori had already finished her bread. Normal people eat toast, Kori eats bread and butter. She probably eats more bread than she does chocolate! All through while they were eating breakfast they couldn't stop smiling.
"GARFIELD! GET UP NOW!"
"Oh mum, don't make me go to play school, they make fun of my teeth." Garfield mumbled while he was chewing on his pillow.
"GARFIELD! I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER! GET UP NOW!"
"Mmmm, marshmallows!" he said again and still the pillow was drowning in his drool.
"GARFIELD!" Rachel shouted.
"The bread is in the middle of the road." Garfield mumbled. He had his back facing Rachel but he turned to her, the pillow was just a soaking piece of cloth. Rachel didn't want to because of all the slobber but she knew it was the only was to make him wake up. She reluctantly lent forward and planted her lips against his. This woke him up. He sat up but made sure he didn't break the kiss. He licked her lips and she granted him his wish. As he explored her mouth yet again he had one arm around her waist and the other hand on the back of her head, Rachel's arms were around his neck They sat there for about three minutes before Garfield needed air.
"Well that was fun" he said when he looked at Rachel who had just got her breathe back. Rachel just smiled weakly as her eyes wandered over his naked chest.
"Don't I just take your breath away?" he said while laughing. Rachel just rolled her eyes at how corny that was.
"That was pathetic"
"What the kiss?"
"No the kiss was amazing, I mean the comeback. That was just so sickly"
Garfield just smiled goofily and pulled Rachel onto his lap. She snuggled into his chest before she remembered the time. She jumped of and pushed him into the bathroom to get changed. When she heard the shower flick on she went into the kitchen area and made a small fruit salad for his breakfast. Rachel was sipping her herbal tea when Garfield re-entered. He had the long light green top that he threw over his shoulder the other morning, and some long shorts. On his feet were simple white and green trainers. He walked forward and gobbled his breakfast in about two minutes.
"That was scrummy!"
"Scrummy?"
"Good Eatin'!" Garfield said and did a big thumbs up in front of her powdered face. Today Rachel was wearing black combats yet again with her vans. Her top was a red and had a dollar bill on the front saying. 'If men are made of money, I love men' her hair was down like always and she hadn't put her contacts in yet because Garfield was in the bathroom and that is where they are. She smiled and walked into the bathroom, she came out looking exactly the same apart from deep purple eyes looked at Garfield instead of her hazel ones.
Bee and Victor sat in the coffee shop waiting for their friends. Bee was so glad about Jessie's leave that she often just get up and do a little dance, but Victor made sure that while they were in public that she stayed firmly on her seat. They were drinking their third cup of coffee when Kori and Richard made an appearance.
Lilly had promised to wait at her house for Chris to come and get her. She was nervously sitting of the sofa waiting. She wasn't looking forward to today; this is when people are going to suspect something of her. She knew that in every lesson Miss Bates would come and get her for half of it, she would say that Lilly is coming for music lessons but that was a downright lie. Well Miss Bates was not her real name; her real name was Francesca Long. But while she was a 'teacher' she was Miss Bates. She was in her own world so she didn't hear the doorbell go, her dad answered the door and let Chris in, Chris walked into the living room to find Lilly sitting there looking at the wall, not blinking and no emotion appeared on her face until that unemotional face turned into a slightly depressed one. Chris cleared his throat and Lilly snapped out of it and looked at him. Her frown turned into a smile and her eyes lit back up again.
"Hiya Tiger"
"Hi Chris, ready to go?"
"I am, are you? You seem a little uneasy, is something bothering you?" Chris said in a concerned voice. Lilly sighed and knew that she couldn't tell him anything else, he already knew too much really but she couldn't help it.
"I am just a little tired I think. Lets go."
"Right."
Lilly thought that maybe if she forgot her notebook Miss Bates won't come for her so she left the notebook in the kitchen but her mum came out just before she walked out of the front door.
"Lilly, you left your notebook."
"Thanks mum." Lilly sighed; Chris looked mildly interested but didn't question it. Lilly took the notebook out of her mum's hand and shoved it to the very bottom of her bag. Jayne waved to Chris and Lilly as they walked down the drive hand in hand.
Jessie wandered the streets for one day and two nights before a group of girls found her and made her part of the gang. It was official, Jinx had become a prep. Kitten, Terra and Barbara had found her. And when Jessie told them about her love for Victor and the stupid 'Bee Girl' they girls all looked at each other and said that Jessie could stay with Barbara and be apart of their gang. They all promised Jessie to get back at Bethany soon. Jessie had already learnt the preppy laugh and well she made a very good addition to the 'team'.
They were all running towards the school, they were having a good laugh and forgot that they were supposed to be in school about twenty minutes ago. They all burst through the door and sat at the back of class. Mr Wilson ranted on about being tardy and so on and so on. But nobody was really listening. In five minutes a teacher came through the door. She was tall, and had long black that was twisted into a tight bun ontop of her head, she had squared glasses and she was wearing a long black pencil skirt, white shirt and thick black tights and on her feet were flat black pumps. In her hand she had a plain red folder and a piece of paper to Mr Wilson. This woman looked very strict. Lilly just looked at her. She knew that this was Francesca because Lilly was close friends with her, and Fran is not strict at all.
"Mr Wilson is it?"
"Yes"
"I am Miss Bates. I am here to collect Lilly Bourne. Is she here?"
"The one at the back sat on her own."
Miss Bates looked up and gave a quick smile to Lilly, just to tell her that she knows and then her face goes back to the strict one.
"Lilly, won't be coming back to this lesson, so get your stuff Lilly and follow me." Lilly nodded and picked up her bag. She walked out of the lesson.
"You know why don't you Lilly?" Miss Bates asks before they leave the classroom.
"Yes, Miss Bates." Lilly said then Mr Wilson looked up with mild interest.
"Why Lilly, and where? If you do not answer truthfully. I will not permit you to go."
Lilly looked at Fran quickly but Fran was calm and answered for her.
"Lilly, is coming with me for her music lessons. Does that answer your question Mr Wilson?"
"Very well."
Fran and Lilly both did a silent sigh before heading out of the room.
"Hiya Fran. Wow I didn't recognise you at first."
"I know. I didn't like having my hair dyed but I couldn't be a teacher with purple hair could I? And don't worry. This is a washout. So when this is all over I will have my purple hair back!"
"Good."
Lilly's friends all looked at each other because of the strange event that just took place. Lilly never said anything to them about music lessons.
"Lilly said that she couldn't play and instrument because of her stubby fingers and she couldn't sing to save her life. Why would she be taking music lessons?"
"I don't know. We will ask her when we see her in PE."
"That is really odd. I have never knew we were having a new teacher too!"
They all just sighed and carried on talking about whatever they wanted to.
The girls were waiting for Ms Duke to come to them when Lilly walked up to them. She had her hair in front of her face again but when she saw the others looking at her she tried to smile, and pretend that she only did a simple music lesson. Miss Bates was coming to get her in this lesson too but for another reason. Well another lie. They are going to do exactly what they did while the 'Music lesson' was taking place.
"Hello again."
"Hi. Why didn't you tell us you were taking music lessons?"
"Eermm…the school decided that I was clever in all my other subjects so they put me on a music course. To boost up my levels."
"Let me get this right, you are smart in all subjects so they put you on a music course."
"Weird huh?" Lilly said. Normally she was great at lying because she had to do it all of her life, but she had never made such good friends as these so it was getting really hard to keep lying to them, especially Chris.
They had all got changed and had just started on the trampolines when Miss Bates made her way across the sports hall and up to the teacher. Ms Duke nodded and beckoned Lilly over to her. Lilly just said good-bye again to her friends and walked back out with Miss Bates. No teachers knew what they up to either. Not even the head teacher. Miss Bates and Lilly were the only ones who knew the secret.
Kori, Rachel and Bee walked up to miss to ask her why Lilly had gone.
"Miss, where did Lilly go?"
"The new teacher Miss Bates was taking her for booster lessons. Apparently she isn't too bright." She said before she turned around to help the girl on the trampoline sort out her seat drop.
All three girls looked at each other.
"What? She went to music lessons because she was smart. Now she is going on booster classes because she is too dumb. I think something is going on."
"Maybe we just got the wrong end of the stick?" Kori said hopefully but Rachel shook her head.
"I never get the wrong end of the stick." Bee and Kori sighed as Rachel got up onto the trampoline for her last go before they get ready for yoga.
Richard, Gar and Victor never noticed but Chris was actually in their class for PE. He was on Richard's team today for baseball. They were doing football second. And this was the first time that Chris got to meet Roy up close and personal. Because yet again Roy got put onto Richard's team. Roy came up to Richard who was talking to Chris.
"Hi Richard,"
"Go away Roy. I am not in the mood to have a petty fight with you."
"Whatever, your Kori really hurts when she punches you know."
"You deserved it." Richard said. And Chris only just got on that it was Roy.
"So you are Roy?"
"The one and only. Hey aren't you the one going out with the fat bitch?" Roy said but as soon as he finished the sentence Chris had him pinned to the floor. Richard had to get Victor and Garfield to help him pull Chris off Roy who had a bleeding nose and the next day you could tell he would have a black eye. Also Chris threw the last punch before Victor pulled him off Roy, and that earned Roy a busted lip.
"Calm down Chris he's not worth it."
"You dare insult Lilly Roy, and I swear I will kill you." Chris said. The teacher came over to them and sent Roy to the hospital wing and Chris to the head teacher's office for attacking another student. Chris stormed off towards the school. He was waiting outside when he swear he saw Lilly's hair go around the corner. He followed it to find Lilly just duck into the janitor's closet. Chris raised an eyebrow at her strange behaviour. So he went to the door and knocked on it quietly.
"Lilly? Is that you?"
Lilly who had sat down and started to write into her notebook heard his voice and held her breath. What was she going to do now?
"Chris?"
"Tiger?"
Lilly sighed that it was just Chris but then she tensed back up again. She shoved the book into her bag and opened the door and walked out. Before she opened it she plastered a smile on her face.
"Wrong door!" she said laughing at the same time. Chris raised an eyebrow couldn't question her because the head just came out and asked him to step into his office. Lilly smiled but as soon as Chris closed the door behind him she sighed with relief and quickly walked to where Fran was waiting for her. In the hospital wing.
"So Mr Knom, would you like to explain your actions?"
"He provoked me."
"Right" he said quietly as he scribbled it down on a piece of paper.
"How did Mr Harper provoke you?"
"He called Lilly a fat bitch."
"Lilly who, and why are particularly bothered about her?"
"Lilly Bourne, and because she is my girlfriend and well I wasn't just going to stand there and let him call someone, girlfriend or not my girlfriend." He said. He was getting kind of angry. What sort of a question was that? Why was he bothered?
"I know that sounded stupid but I needed to ask it." He said when he saw the look on Chris's face.
"So Mr Harper and yourself were having a conversation, he calls Miss Bourne and you hit him onto the floor, break his nose, bust his lip and probably give him a black eye?"
"Pretty much yeah."
"Well, I am sorry but I will have to give you one month of after school detentions with me. And Mr Harper will be receiving a week of after school detentions for verbal bullying."
"But…"
"Good day Mr Knom. And I suggest you go and apologise to Mr Harper for punching him. I will get Mr Harper to apologise to Miss Bourne personally."
Chris just sighed and left the room silently.
Fran was waiting for Lilly inside of the hospital wing, pretending to be talking to one of the students. She was talking to Roy when Lilly came back in. Roy looked at Lilly and his lips curled into a small cruel smile.
"So you must be Lilly Bourne? The girl who Chris is with."
"Yes, why?"
"Lilly, the one who won't tell Chris anything. He got really angry about that you know. He was taking it out on anything that got in his way about that you didn't trust him. Unfortunately I got in his way." Roy loved spinning lies, and his smile grew wider and wider every time Lilly's eyes got wider and smile got smaller.
"And who are you?"
"Roy, a concerned friend."
"Kori had told me all about you. I am not going to believe you. You are just lying."
"Look Lilly, you are going to find out one way or the other just remember that it is the truth and the truth hurts"
"LIAR!" Lilly screamed but she immediately put her hand over her mouth and whispered sorry.
"Sorry I didn't mean to shout. I don't like to shout."
"Just remember Lilly, what I told you!"
Lilly just nodded then waved good-bye to Fran who was watching her. When she got back her next lesson was with Chris so she would know. Chris was waiting outside the classroom with Garfield.
"And I found her in the cupboard! It was really weird. I heard she got taken out from PE too. I wonder what she isn't telling me."
"I wouldn't worry too much. I am sure that when she can tell you she will."
"Yeah but I wish she could tell me now, I want to know and help her"
"She wants top tell you but she can't at the moment. You will be the first one to know."
"Dam all her secrets!"
"Chris!"
"No I meant I wish she didn't have any secrets because having them is making her feel unhappy. And if she feels unhappy I feel unhappy"
"Right."
Lilly was just about to walk around the corner when she heard Chris's voice.
"Dam all her secrets!" Lilly didn't want to hear what he was going to say next. Roy was right in two ways. He was right about Chris really feels for her and that the truth hurts, big time. Lilly walked off, she couldn't face Chris at the moment. She was just going to turn into the girl's loos but someone grabbed her arm. She spun around and Chris stood there with a concerned look on his face.
"Lilly, what is the matter?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't know what you are talking about Lilly."
"Does 'Dam all her secrets!' ring a bell?"
"Lilly, I didn't mean it like that at all."
"Well, even if you didn't. Why did you punch the living day lights out Roy?"
"So it is Roy who you have been talking to? He lied to you Lilly. What ever her said it was a lie."
"So it wasn't you who did that to his face?"
"Well, yes but I did that because he insulted you. Please Lilly you have to believe me!"
"…"
"Lilly, I do respect that it is your secret please believe me. Do you Lilly. Remember what is said? I will be here when you can tell but until you can I am going to be here and respect that it is your secret. Lilly?"
Lilly said nothing but she did give him a big hug. They walked back to their lesson and sat down next to each other like nothing happened but Lilly was sure that out of the corner of her eye she saw Garfield wink at Chris. Lilly just got rid of that thought and concentrated on the board until Miss Bates came to get her again.
Kori and Rachel were going through the first few scenes of the play. It was soon that the show would be done for real. At the end of January it was being held. At the moment it was a scene with neither of them on so they were at the side waiting. Roy and Aaron came up.
"Hiya gorgeous" Roy said to Kori. Roy was extremely happy about the part he played. Kori rolled her eyes and took a step away from the pair. Aaron put his arm around Rachel, but as soon as Rachel just looked up at him he carefully took his arm from around her waist.
"So, have you heard what scene we will be going through today?"
"No." Rachel said in a matter of factly way. Roy looked at Aaron and Aaron at Roy, they both then did a cheeky smile and they took a step closer to Rachel and Kori.
"The final scene, you both know what happens in the final scene don't you?"
Kori and Rachel's eyes widened, the final scene. The curtain closes on the kiss at the end. That is their last action on the stage before the curtain falls, until the curtains opens and they do all their bows but apart from that it was kissy time for Aaron and Roy. Rachel looked at Kori who was standing tall and looking straight at Roy who was smiling.
"Aren't you looking forward to it Rachel?"
"No"
"Not even a little bit"
"No"
"Not even…"
"If you finish that sentence I will make sure that you can never speak again, is clear?"
"Crystal." Rachel just rolled her eyes and linked onto Kori as they both walked away Roy and Aaron wolf whistled. Rachel walked into Ian so they decided to stop and chat because it was another ten minutes before they had to be on the practise stage.
"Hello Ian"
"Oh hello darlings, how is everything?"
"Fine you?"
"Perfect like always!"
"Thanks again for my hair stuff Ian!"
"Superstars need to be treated superbly darlings, it's a rule of life!"
"If you say so."
"Looking forward to the big show week?"
"No."
"Why?"
"I have to lip lock Roy and Rachel with Aaron."
"Not once but twice." Rachel added on the end of Kori's sentence.
"You poor darlings!" he said as they all looked behind them where Roy and Aaron was watching their every move. When the lads noticed that Rachel and Kori were looking at them, they both blew a kiss. Rachel just scowled at them while Kori turned back around to Ian.
"See what I mean?" Kori said
"They just won't take a hint" Rachel said when she finally turned back around from giving them dirty looks.
"I don't mean to scare you darlings, but it looks like Aaron didn't take the hint of you evil eyes Rachel." Ian said while he was watching Aaron walk up to them, Roy was still standing where he was snickering.
"I shall leave you two with him, because I just can't stand him, ta ta for now!" Ian said before moving away from where Rachel and Kori stood. Kori looked at Rachel who was fuming because she could sense that Aaron was too close for comfort.
"Rachel, you never told me it was your birthday!"
"I must have missed you off the list" she said sarcastically before rolling her eyes again.
"I would have got you a present. Well I do have one for you. Its better late than never." He said before spinning Rachel around and slanting his lips over hers. Rachel's eyes grew wide as he forced his tongue into her mouth. He had her arms pinned at her sides and her legs between his so she couldn't push him off. Kori was just standing there in shock that Aaron just did that. Roy was in a fit of laughter before he walked up to Kori and did the same thing.
"I am sure you didn't want to feel left out," he said before forcing his lips onto her delicate ones. Mrs Moran form across the room just smiled and said.
"I know they don't like each other, yet that doesn't stop them from ruining the drama. I mean kissing like that even when they are not been told to. They really are proper actors and actresses." She said before turning to yell some stage directions. The fury was building up inside both of the girls. They struggled but they couldn't break free from Roy or Aaron's grasp. Ian who was on the other side of the room couldn't do anything to help them, he was sorting out a wig, that he sort of supposed to do two weeks ago so Mrs Moran was in a mood with him and didn't let him do anything but wig making.
They couldn't even bite his tongue because it was moving too fast for them clamp on. Luckily even Roy and Aaron needed to breathe now and again so they broke it off and walked off quickly before they could get hit. Roy was lucky because Mrs Moran asked to talk to Kori but Rachel followed Aaron until he was cornered.
"Happy Birthday Rachel, come back for some more?"
"Don't you dare do anything like that again! The only way you are gonna get a kiss of me is, if it is fake, as in no feeling what so ever like the one on stage or you suddenly become Garfield." She said, she walked straight up to him and slapped him twice. So he had matching red cheeks. Secretly Ian was cheering Rachel on but Mrs Moran gave him a look when he tried to actually move to congratulate her. Rachel stomped off and saw Kori slapping Roy silly. Once Kori finished she stomped over to Rachel.
"That was disgusting, do you have any mouthwash?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing."
"Right last scene. I want Sybella and Isabella on stage and Anton and Pierre ready to enter." Aaron smirked at Rachel before he made his way to the left front wing while Roy winked and followed. The girls shuddered before walking out to the middle of the stage to go through their lines and of course to Roy and Aaron's glee, the movement on stage. Roy was particularly going to rub it in Richard and Xavier's face that he had got Kori to kiss him back, well she had too, she had no other choice. And Aaron only had Garfield to rub it in his face, but he was going to do it to the max.
They all met up at B&B's for lunch.
"Well if it isn't my Kori?" Xavier said grinning down at Kori like a mad man. He didn't take any notice to what Kori said to him on Bonfire night and he still bugged her but that was just Xavier.
"She isn't your Kori Xavier she is my Kori, so back off." Richard said fiercely and pulled Kori closer to his side and kept his arm around her waist.
"Actually Kori kissed me so doesn't that mean she is mine" Roy said and Aaron nodded who was standing behind him.
"And that is true, so that also means Rachel is mine" Aaron added. Everyone was looking at the two girls who sat there glaring at Roy and Aaron who just raised their eyebrows. Rachel explained what they did because it was her birthday and they all averted their glances to Roy and Aaron but they had another plan.
"True, they didn't kiss back but the second time, they practically threw themselves on us." Which was roughly true, they had been told to, stage directions they had no choice!
"We didn't want to but Miss said we had to."
"If that is going to be your excuse then fair enough, but it didn't just feel like some acting." Roy said looking at Kori. Kori narrowed her eyes so they were just slits.
"We.are.just.doing.what.we.were.told." she said slowly and carefully pronouncing each syllable perfectly. Roy ignored the dangerous tone in her voice and barged past Xavier and sat next to Kori. Slapped Richard's arm from around her waist and replaced it with his. Kori squirmed away from Roy's grasp and sat on Richard's lap. Then Lilly noticed that it was Roy, it was the puffy lip and cast on his nose she didn't recognise him at first. Lilly glared at him for telling her lies.
"What are you looking at you f…" he was going to call her a fat bitch again but he got a dangerous look from Chris and he didn't feel like getting into another fight, he had quite a hard punch.
"A liar."
"Guess what I am looking at?"
"What?" Roy couldn't help it; he just had to insult her.
"A fat bitch." Chris just stood up to jump over the table but Lilly put her arm on his and pulled him back down. She looked at Chris so he just mumbled under his breath like Richard usually does. Lilly looked back at Roy who was smiling smugly at himself. Xavier just left about two minutes ago because he wasn't getting anywhere with Kori, when the two losers leave he will come back again.
"That was original." She said calmly. She tried to keep a straight face and look him in the eye but she was sure her eyes were grey and showed her unhappiness and discomfort. Her mind flashed with all they scenes where she had been bullied for her weight. All the people who mocked her, all the times she would lock herself in her room and cry herself to sleep, all the times she would wish that by some miracle she would wake up thinner and all the disappointing morning when she woke up still being herself, still being in the same dam body. Roy picked up on her feeling when he saw that her eyes were glassy with tears that were building up.
"Like I said before it's the truth and the truth hurts."
"Well why don't you take that the truth is that Kori doesn't love you, she doesn't even like you. You are right Roy, the truth hurts so I am guessing that is why you run away from it all the time?" she said. She knew that she was going to break down any minute now but she had to make Roy and Aaron go away before she does but she didn't know how long she had left until hot tears poured down her cheeks.
"Don't bring that into it. There isn't enough room, your fatty body takes up the whole conversation like it does the room." He said cruelly and that over stepped the mark, Lilly tried to calm down before she blew but he just crossed the line between being bearable and death causing. Lilly stood up walked around the table and picked Roy up by his collar. He stood up and looked at her in shock, he thought that she was the quiet one who just sat and took it not the one to fight him about it. When he looked into her cold grey eyes he saw the pain, he didn't care really but he didn't want his face to be bashed in twice in one day. Lilly made it so he stood and she pointed his finger into chest and prodded it really hard so it would probably bruise but she didn't care.
"YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS LIKE TO LIVE MY LIFE. SO UNLESS YOU HAVE TRIED TO LIVE IT, DON'T INSULT IT!" Lilly shouted. The whole café looked at her but she didn't care. Her friends were looking at her because she shouted, Lilly never shouts. Chris was wide eyed at the force that came from behind her voice. Kori was still in Richard's lap and Rachel had grabbed Garfield's hand a squeezed it. Rachel looked in Lilly's eyes and saw what Roy saw but Rachel cared that Lilly was having a mental breakdown in her head and probably has been for the whole of her life, but now it is beginning to show on the outside as well as on the inside.
"Is that it?" Roy said calmly. Really he was petrified of her but he did his best not to let it show.
"NO, THERE WILL NEVER BE AN END. AND WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO STALK KORI?" She said her eyes were now flaming, they were the same dull grey but they looked as if a fire had been lit. She suddenly turned to Aaron who was slowly making his way to be next to Rachel.
"AND YOU! WHY DO FOLLOW RACHEL? JUST FACE THE TRUTH AARON. SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOU AND I SWEAR IF YOU BOTHER HER ANYMORE YOU WILL HAVE ME TO FACE. THAT GOES TO YOU ASWELL." She shouted as she turned back to Roy who just looked at her. Roy slaps her.
"Don't insult me or Aaron you fat bitch. Don't tell us to face the truth when you can't face it yourself." Kori and Rachel stood up to Roy and Aaron.
"Don't you dare slap Lilly Roy." Kori said.
"She isn't called Lilly, are you? New name: Fat Bitch." Roy said and he smiled when a steady stream of tears came out of her eyes. Everyone had been cleared out of the café so they could argue and get everything of their chests, and so they didn't embarrass them selves in front of loads of people. Which was a good thing because Lilly screamed and her knees collapsed under her. Roy smiled again and he and Aaron started to chant around her 'Fat Bitch, Fat Bitch, Fat Bitch' over and over again. Chris tried to put his arm around her shaking shoulders but she scrambled away from him. Everyone tried but nobody could calm her down. She wouldn't stop screaming at them. Kori put her hand over Roy's mouth and Rachel put hers over Aaron's and they pushed them out of the shop and locked the door. Roy smiled through the window and breathed on the window so his hot breath made a mark on the cold glass. On the steam he wrote 'Fat Bitch' on the window, so it was back to front to him but the right way around to the people in the café. Victor went to stand in front of the window so Lilly wouldn't keep re-reading it. Finally she stopped screaming but it didn't improve she didn't say anything she sat there and looked at the blank wall with blank eyes.
"Lilly?"
"…" She wouldn't say a thing. She wouldn't remove her eyes off the wall. She started to rock slowly back and forth.
"Lilly please speak to me?" Chris said desperately.
"…" Still her mouth was firmly shut and her eyes hadn't blinked in the past two minutes, but still her salty tears poured from her eyes. Kori thought that this was the worst type of crying, silent crying. It was almost like she wasn't breathing. Then Chris looked at her properly and noticed she wasn't. She was holding her breath.
"Lilly, breathe!"
Lilly slowly shook her head. So Chris pried her lips apart to make her breathe again. Lilly closed her mouth again but she wasn't holding her breath anymore you could hear the uneven intakes and outtakes of breath. They all tried to coax her into talking but she didn't even move a muscle. She suddenly jumped up onto her feet and walked past them all. Victor tried to stop her but she pushed past him unlocked the doors and walked out. They all quickly got their stuff and followed her. She made her way back to the school. But when she went in she ran back out again. Bee went to see why and she saw that Roy and Aaron were waiting for her to come back. They were stood there with a large white piece of card with 'FAT BITCH' painted on. Bee walked up to them and slapped them both and tore the sign into little bits of paper, before she ran off after Lilly again.
Lilly walked back to her house, her dad was at work and her mum was shopping so it was deserted. She walked upstairs to her room and slammed the door. She turned on her stereo and lay down on her bed and put her head under her pillow. Her favourite song came blasting out of her speakers. She put it on repeat so the same song battered her eardrums but she didn't care. She didn't sob or moan she still silently cried.
So this is what it is like to have a mental breakdown, she thought to herself. It doesn't hurt that much physically. But suddenly her mind went blank. She threw herself off her bed and crouched down on the floor her hands running through her beautiful hair. She heard someone come in but she didn't care. She heard them run upstairs but she didn't care. She knew it was more than one person but she still didn't care. All she could think of was not being her. She locked the door before they could reach it so they were all banging on the door. Lilly turned off the stereo and held her legs to her chest tightly and began to rock back and forwards again. Chris managed to open the lock, Lilly told him how to do a couple of days ago they all rushed in and crowded around Lilly.
"Lilly speak to us!" Kori begged. Lilly opened her mouth but nothing came out, she began to rock more slowly. The all began to talk but Chris told them all to shut up.
"Shut up you guys Lilly is…singing."
'I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who's inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose ifyou says so
You can buy all the make-up that Max can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I, too
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm in stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit fatty
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I can't believe I'm trippin
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that Max can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I, too
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty
As I reflect back on what I've used and abused
And detect that I need some clues to get through
To those that accused me of never being true
I'll lose if I play into this game and never know the rules
So how do I bring out the me nobody sees
The forest for the trees, how 'bout the woman behind the weave
The light from within this life is the only real remedy
Or find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty'
Another chappie done and poor Lilly! I feel so sorry for her. And if you don't feel sorry for her, you must be heartless. Please read and review. And so no one reports me DISCLIAMER: I DO NOT OWN THE SONG LYRICS TO UNPRETTY BY TLC! Happy? TOODLE POP!
