A/N: this story will be a little different to what some of you guys are used to seeing from me but i got this idea from The fifth dimension as they are an incredible writer and hopefully you guys will still enjoy this new story from me. I do not own any of the characters used in this story and i do not make any profit from writing this. Enjoy!
The first day...
It was the start of a brand new year and becky was lying in her bed looking up at the ceiling dreading today, as today was the day becky started a brand new school and becky thought to herself, "Y'know maybe things will be different this time, it's a new school full of new people." before she then dragged herself out of bed and walked over to her wardrobe and got changed into her school uniform before she went downstairs to have breakfast.
When she got downstairs becky sat at the table and poured herself a bowl of cereal while her mother sat at the opposite end of the table drinking a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper before she looked at becky and said, "It's your first day today sweetie, try to have a good day today ok?" to which becky sarcastically raised her arms in the air as she replied,
"Yay, I'm so looking forward to starting a new school and make new friends." before her mum smiled as she replied,
"That's the spirit pumpkin, now get going before you're late." Becky grumbled as she took a piece of toast that was on the side and walked out the door.
After becky got off the school bus she stood outside her new school which was huge compared to her last school she went to and becky tried to put on a brave face as she walked through the front gates and walked down the corridor to her classroom just as the bell rang, and the teacher sitting at the front of the class started taking the register and one by one the students took it in turns saying "here" as the teacher read out their names until she called out becky's name. Everyone turned to look at her sitting at the back of the class as she slowly raised her hand and quietly but loud enough for the teacher to hear her said, "Here."
Then the teacher asked the students for their homework but becky just sat at the back of the class reading one of her favourite books with her hair tied up in a nice ponytail as she was a new student she didn't have to do the homework that was set last week before the lunch bell rang, and all the students except for becky ran out of the classroom as becky slowly walked behind them towards the cafeteria and grabbed her tray of food as she sat down on a table by herself away from the other students.
Becky enjoyed sitting by herself, that was until Mandy rose walked up to her and grabbed her and threw her to the floor and knocked her tray off the table before she looked at becky with a smirk on her face as she said, "Oops, didn't see you there." Becky tried to remain calm as she picked herself off the floor and dusted herself off and just simply replied,
"Don't worry, wasn't hungry anyway." before walking off even though she could hear Mandy laughing as she left.
Later that day becky was in English class studying hard and taking notes but was also getting increasingly agitated by the student behind her throwing paper balls at the back of her head until the paper balls suddenly stopped hitting the back of her head when the blonde girl sitting next to her caught one of the balls as she said, "HEY, CUT IT OUT!" and becky slowly turned to face the blonde before she said,
"Thanks, what's your name?" to which the blonde smiled and replied,
"Don't mention it, Charlotte. what's yours?" and Becky slowly smiled back and replied, "Rebecca, but you can call me Becky." before then quietly getting back to her work.
After school had finished Becky was waiting by the bus stop waiting for the school bus when Charlotte stood next to her as she said, "Hey, why don't we exchange numbers with each other." to which Becky smiled at her and replied,
"Sure, I guess it wouldn't help." before the two then exchanged numbers with each other just as the school bus arrived so they hopped on and sat next to each other before the school bus then left the bus stop, and both Becky and Charlotte started talking to each other trying to get know each a little before the bus then stopped outside becky's house and Becky gave Charlotte a wave as she hopped off the bus.
When Becky got home from school, she hung her bag up before she then sat down at the table and started eating her dinner when her mum said, "So hunny, how was your first day at school?" Becky then shrugged her shoulders a little and replied,
"Eh, it was ok. I may have a new friend but I don't know." before becky then finished her dinner and went upstairs into her room where she got changed into her pajamas and laid down on her bed looking up at the ceiling as she thought to herself, "Today wasn't too bad I guess, I wonder what cool or horrible things await me tomorrow." before she then slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next day Becky arrived outside the school and waved at Charlotte, before they decided to walk in the school together and made their way down the corridor towards the main hall as there was an assembly happening. However as Becky walked down the corridor with Charlotte she walked past a girl with jet black hair and pale skin, and it was as if time stood still for a moment as Becky took in the girls features before Charlotte snapped her fingers as she said, "Rebecca? Rebecca? Earth to becky!" Becky blinked a couple of times before she replied,
"S-sorry Char, I guess I got distracted for a moment."
Charlotte just giggled a little before she said, "Come on, let's go." before they then walked into the main hall and sat next to each other.
Meanwhile during the assembly Becky found her eyes slowly fixating on the pale girl sitting in the front like she saw before entering, Charlotte who was sitting next to Becky gave her a little nudge as she said, "If you like her becks, try talking to her at lunch after maths." Becky looked at Charlotte with a smile and replied,
"Y'know what Char, that's not a bad idea." Before the principal then said the assembly was over and the students could leave so Becky and Charlotte made their way to their lockers so they could get their maths books.
However just as becky walked towards her locker, Mandy stuck her foot out causing becky to stumble and slam face first against her locker just as Charlotte walked over and saw Becky leaning face first against her locker and Mandy laughing before she said, "Hey look everyone, it's little miss clumsy!" Charlotte stormed up to mandy and growled,
"This is your only warning, BACK OFF!"
Mandy just rolled her eyes as she walked off before Charlotte then turned around and heard Becky crying against her locker and was going to comfort her, before the girl with pale skin and black hair walked up to Becky and said, "Hey baby girl, what's wrong?" Charlotte just leaned against the wall with a smile on her face watching as becky slowly turned around and rubbed her forehead and wiped some of her tears before she replied,
"I-it's nothing, I'm fine but thanks for asking lass."
Then the pale girl gave Becky a cuddle before she said, "The name's Paige, and it's obvious something is wrong so please tell me." Becky slightly smiled as she replied,
"Rebecca, but you can call me Becky and i'll explain it to you at lunch if you don't mind, as you can sit with me and Charlotte." Paige then smiled and said,
"Well ok then baby doll, see you at lunch then." before skipping down the hallway to her class and Charlotte walked over to becky and said,
"That went well, if you keep this up becks you might end up on a date with her." and Becky slightly giggled as she replied,
"I wouldn't go that far just yet Char, I only just met the lass. Besides, she might not be into girls." before she then started walking down the hallway before she looked back at Charlotte as she continued, "C'mon, we're gonna be late for maths." Charlotte then followed Becky with a smile on her face.
After maths, Becky went to the cafeteria for lunch and grabbed her tray of food and sat down at a table next to Charlotte just as Paige grabbed her tray and sat down next to Becky before Paige then smiled at Becky as she said, "So baby girl, you were going to explain to me why you were upset earlier?" Becky finished her mouthful and replied,
"Oh yeah, I guess I was so here goes..." but before she could say anything, Mandy walked in with Sonya deville and said with a smirk on her face,
"LISTEN EVERYONE, LITTLE MISS CLUMSY OVER THERE IS A LOSER AND LIVES WITH HER ALCOHOLIC MOTHER!"
Charlotte was going to say something but she looked at becky and her expression completely changed from having a beaming smile like before to now having a frown on her face and she had a hand on her shoulder like a wounded animal, this wasn't the same happy becky she was listening to five minutes ago this was a more crushed and upset becky now.
Paige asked becky if she was okay, but Becky just quietly replied, "I'm fine, Paige." before she took a sip of her coke and slammed it down on the table with enough force it dented the wooden table and the bottom of the can slightly, before becky then slowly rose out of her seat with a face now full of rage with her hair in front of her face and stepped over the seat and slowly stormed towards Mandy Rose as Mandy stood there acting like she was scared as she said,
"Oh no, little miss clumsy is going to try and hurt me."
Becky had enough.
Becky had snapped.
Becky grabbed mandy by her shirt before yelling at her, "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH AS A CHILD, AND DON'T THINK FOR ONE SECOND THAT YOU OR ANYONE THINK THEY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME OR WHAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH BECAUSE NONE OF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED!" before becky then slammed her fist into Mandy's jaw knocking her to the floor, before Sonya shoved Becky but immediately regretted it as Becky punched her in the ribs driving the air out of her before she then punched her in the jaw knocking her to the floor as well and all the other students were in shock at what just happened. Before Becky then ran out of the cafeteria as Charlotte and Paige followed after her.
When they finally caught up to Becky, Paige and Charlotte saw Becky sitting by a tree with her head buried in her knees crying her eyes out before Charlotte then slowly approached Becky as she said, "Hey Becks, you okay? Do you want to talk to us?" Becky slowly raised her head from her knees and patted the ground next to her signalling for Charlotte and Paige to sit next to her before she then started to whimper,
"I-I'm sorry I just left you guys, but I just needed some space to calm down." Paige then wrapped her arms around Becky in a cuddle and Becky just burst into tears on her. Charlotte and Paige just let Becky cry for a few minutes before Paige said,
"So, Becky you were gonna say earlier?" Becky slowly lifted her head up from paige's shoulder as she sniffled,
"Oh right, I was gonna explain to both you lasses why I was upset before maths started."
Becky continued, "So I was upset before maths because Mandy caused me to trip and fall into my locker and the thing is I used to get bullied quite a lot in my last school, so I just got used to it here because it is the same crap but with a different coat of paint." Charlotte gave becky a hug as she said,
"Aww, Becks, that's so horrible. Did you have any friends in your last school?" Becky sat there with her head resting on Paige's shoulder and replied,
"Truthfully, I did make a few friends...but then they all left me when they found out what my mum was like and been alone ever since."
Charlotte didn't know what to say as she sat there in shock before she eventually said, "Well, we're your friends aren't we, Becks?" becky wiped some tears from her eyes and replied,
"Aye, you and Paige are the first lasses to care about me in years so yeah we are friends, Char."
Just then, Paige lifted Becky off her shoulder as she said to both Becky and Charlotte, "Come on girls, we have to get to science now. And Becky is lucky we are all in the same class." So all three girls stood up and walked down from the tree and made their way to science.
After school Becky hung her bag up before going upstairs into her room and laid face down on her bed sobbing, before her phone chirped with a couple of texts, so Becky rolled over and picked up her phone and opened her texts and read the first one from charlotte which read, " Hey Becks, hope you got home safe and i'm always here if you need to talk." Before Becky then opened up the second text and smiled a little as it was from Paige which read,
" Hey baby girl, I'll always be here to support you if you need someone to talk to, see you tomorrow."
Later that evening, Becky's grandparents came around for dinner and becky gave them both a hug before her granddad gave her a surprise as he stood to one side and becky's face lit up like Christmas tree as sitting in her driveway was a Harley davis motorcycle before her granddad then gave her the keys and said, "Here you go darling, she's all yours." Becky then bounced up and down in joy and replied,
"Aww, thank ya granddad. I love it and I promise to take good care of her." and both her grandparents just stood there and chuckled before they all went inside.
After becky had her dinner she ran upstairs into her room and stared at her mirror by her bedside table looking at her reflection as she thought to herself, "I have some good friends now, but something needs to change, I need to change." before she then got dressed into her pajamas and went to sleep smiling and looking forward to seeing her new friends in the morning.
The next morning, Becky was awake earlier than normal as she went into the bathroom and had a shower before she then dyed her hair a bright orange colour and instead of wearing her school uniform she wore a leather jacket with rolled up sleeves and some slightly ripped fishnets with some black shorts over the top with some black boots, she also braided her hair on one side and smiling in her mirror before she went downstairs to have breakfast. She then sat on her bike and turned the key in the ignition and strapped her helmet on before slowly backing out of the driveway and revved the engine a couple of times before she then set off down the road towards her school.
When she arrived, Becky parked her bike in the school parking lot and carried her helmet as she walked around to the front gates where she saw Paige and Charlotte getting off the school bus and gave them a wave. Charlotte and Paige were shocked when they saw Becky now with bright orange hair and braided on one side instead of her normal brunette hair that they were used to seeing before, Charlotte stood there as she said, "Rebecca? Is that you?" Becky then put on a proud smile and replied,
"Oh it's me alright lass, who else would it be?" then Paige gave Becky a hug before she said,
"Love the outfit baby doll, why the sudden change?"
Then Becky returned the hug to both Charlotte and Paige with a beaming smile on her face before she replied, "I felt like I need to show everyone who I really am, y'know." Charlotte said,
"Mandy and Sonya are sure going to be in for surprise when they see you now, Becks." Becky held out her hands and replied with a smile on her face,
"I know that's the point Char, I'm going to show those dopes and anyone else I'm not the type of lass you want to mess with, c'mon ladies I believe class is about to start." so Paige and Charlotte each took a hold of Becky's hands as they walked to class.
At break time, Becky was sitting under the tree that she went to last time after her outburst at Mandy and was reading her favourite book when Paige and Charlotte came and sat either side of her before Paige said, "What are you reading baby girl?" to which becky smiled at Paige and replied,
"I'm reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow, it's my favourite book to read because I love the world and the characters and I have almost seen every one of the movies at least twice." before the Principal came over and asked to speak to Becky.
So becky placed her bookmark on the page she was reading before closing her book and stood up and walked a little with the Principal as she said, "Now Rebecca, Mandy and Sonya came to my office this morning and told me you punched them in the jaw and another thing you know full well that you are supposed to be wearing school uniform while on the school grounds, but I will let this one go as I hear they provoked you. But next time it will be a Detention, do you understand?" Becky had a little frown on her face and replied,
"Yes ma'am."
After break time it was time to choose the school council and paige suggested to Becky that she should run for school council so she did just that when she put her hand up and she was chosen as one of the candidates, but Becky didn't realise her friend Paige was also one of the candidates as well as Mandy which made becky's blood boil just looking at her. So during class Becky spent most of the time designing her banner on pieces of scrap paper before she finally found a design she liked and thought would suit her, she then transferred the design onto a big sheet of paper and smiled at her finished work.
At lunch time, Becky was trying to hang her poster on the board when she heard Roman walk up to her as he asked, "Need any help with that, Becks?" Becky looked down at Roman from the ladder she was on and smiled and replied,
"No I got this Roman, but thanks for asking." before Becky then finally managed to pin her poster to the wall just as Charlotte and Paige walked down the hallway and Becky waved at them which caused the ladder to wobble and shake and Paige said,
"Becky, be careful!" but it was too late as Becky lost her balance and she fell from the ladder and Becky closed her eyes waiting to hit the ground beneath her with a thud which never happened.
When becky opened her eyes she heard paige whisper, "It's ok Becks, I got you" Becky looked down and she could feel one of paige's arms under legs and her other hand on her back underneath her jacket and at the time, Becky didn't know why but being held in Paige's arms made becky feel safe and protected and becky just laid there in Paige's arms and smiled at her before she replied,
"Thank ya Paige." Paige then slowly put becky back on her feet before she said, "No problem baby girl, are you free this weekend?" becky smiled at Paige and replied, "Yeah of course i'm free this weekend lass."
After lunch, Becky was sitting next to Paige and Charlotte in assembly as the Principal was up onstage announcing who would be leading the school council and all the students took their turns in voting for who they would like on the school council, before the Principal then came back on stage and after tallying up the votes announced the winner as she said, "And the winner is...Paige!" Paige bounced up and down in her seat with joy before then joined the Principal on stage and looked down at Becky who was smiling at her before paige then started her speech.
As paige started her speech as she said, "First of all, I just want to say thank you to all of you that voted for me and I promise all of you that I wil make this school a better and safer place, and secondly I would like to announce that my vice president will be...Rebecca lynch!" and Becky was shocked as she looked up at Paige and slowly got up from her seat and joined Paige on stage and gave paige a hug and took her seat on stage next to her as the whole school applauded them.
After the assembly it was time to go home, and Becky walked with Paige and Charlotte to the bus stop before she said, "So, why did you choose me as your Vice President, Paige?" Paige smiled at Becky and gave her a hug before she replied,
"Well baby girl, I chose you as my vice president because the votes were really close between you and me and i know that you can help make this school a better place for everyone." then becky had some tears in her eyes and replied,
"Aww thanks lass, that means so much to me." Charlotte wiped some tears from Becky's face as she said,
"Hey don't cry becks, you deserve this and don't let anyone tell you different, have a safe journey home." to which becky gave Charlotte a hug before she replied,
"Thanks char, and yeah I will have a safe journey home and take care lass."
Before Becky then put her helmet on and walked over to her bike and turned the key in the ignition and slowly backed out of the parking lot and revved her engine a couple times before starting to make her way home while listening to some music through her headphones, until she parked her bike in her driveway and removed the key from the ignition and hung her bag up and ran up to her room and laid down on her bed and started texting paige as she said, " Hey Paige, I'm home now what time are we meeting on Saturday?" becky didn't have to wait long for a reply when paige text her back,
" Hey baby doll, that's good to hear and we will meet up at 12:30 by the train station."
Then Becky text her back, " Cool, see ya there then." before she then went to the bathroom to have a shower before then getting dressed in her pajamas and laid down on her bed smiling as she thought to herself, "I don't know why, but whenever I'm with paige, I just feel safe and protected. Maybe I should mention this to her on Saturday." before she then slowly closed her eyes as she drifted off to sleep.
