All it takes is a spark.
On Sunday the next morning, Becky spent the entire morning talking to her friend Charlotte as she said, " I still can't quite believe paige kissed me on my cheek yesterday, it's like it was a dream Char" to which Charlotte replied,
" I'm so happy that you are happy Becks, and Paige told me what you guys were talking about yesterday and I can't wait to see you both in your costumes tomorrow for world book day!" Becky sounded a little sad and said,
" Oh yeah, you mean the bruises I had and the fact i kept it from you and Paige, I'm sorry lass." Charlotte tried to cheer her up a little and replied,
" Look Becks, you don't need to keep apologizing, I fully understand why you kept it from us, me and Paige are coming over today and spending some time with our favourite girl okay?"
Becky smiled a little as she replied, " Okay Char, see ya lasses soon." before she then hung up the phone and went to get dressed as she put on her jack skellington belly top and some navy blue jeans and her black hi-tops, before making her way downstairs to make herself some breakfast and sat on the sofa after switching on the tv and flicked through the channels until she found tom and jerry and sat there eating her bowl of cereal before Charlotte and Paige arrived.
A couple hours later, a car pulled up into Becky's driveway so she opened the door to see who it was and smiled when she saw Charlotte and ran up to her and gave her a hug before she looked at the man next to Charlotte and then back at Charlotte as she asked, "Who's this then, Char?" Charlotte giggled a little and replied,
"This is my dad Becks, he wanted to give me a lift to your house after I told him you live a couple doors down from Paige."
Becky then shook Charlotte's dad hand as she said, "Nice to meet ya, Mr.Flair." Charlotte's dad chuckled and replied,
"Please, call me Ric." before he then got back in his car after giving Charlotte a hug and slowly pulled out of the driveway and drove off leaving charlotte and becky alone for the moment.
A few minutes later, Paige walked up Becky's driveway and gave both Charlotte and Becky a hug before she said, "Morning ladies, what are we going to do today then?" Becky smiled and replied,
"Well, I think I have some board games somewhere we can play." Charlotte then said,
"That sounds perfect Becks." before all three girls then made their way indoors as Becky closed the door behind them.
When they all got into the living room, Becky opened up a cabinet and pulled out some board games when Paige looked at the board games and asked, "You have uno? I love playing uno." Becky looked up at Paige and smiled and replied,
"If it's uno ya want, it's uno ya get lass." before she then put the other board games back and dusted off the uno box before opening it and started shuffling the cards before dealing out a hand to each of them including a hand for herself, before she put the rest of the cards in the middle and turned the first card of the pile over.
And after what seemed like to Becky hours flew by, as all three girls were laughing and having fun before Paige giggled a little as she said, "When did get so good at uno Becks, this is like the fourth time you have won today, baby girl." Becky smiled and giggled a little as she replied,
"I don't know lass, maybe I'm just naturally good at uno and it makes me miss how much fun I had playing this with you lasses." Charlotte sat there with a smile on her face and said,
"That was fun, even if Becky did win most of the time, what should we do now?" Becky sat there and smiled and said,
"I'll go and see if I have a movie we can watch together." Paige then smiled at Becky and replied,
"That sounds like a nice idea, Becks." before watching as Becky left and went upstairs to find a movie.
However, while Becky was looking in her room for a movie her friends could watch she looked out her bedroom window and saw her dad pulling into the driveway as she thought to herself, "shit!" before running back downstairs and said to Paige and Charlotte, "Find somewhere to hide lasses, my dad is home early and god knows what will happen if he sees ya both!" So Paige and Charlotte ran upstairs into Becky's room and hid under her bed just as Becky's dad walked through the front door and becky put on a fake smile as she said, "Hey dad, you're home early?" Becky's dad slurred his words and replied,
"Hello darling, why aren't ya at school?" Becky tried her best to remain calm as she could smell the alcohol coming from her dad's breath before she said,
"It's Sunday dad, ya know I don't have school on a weekend."
Just then Paige and Charlotte were laying under Becky's bed trying their best to keep quiet, when they heard glasses being smashed and Becky's dad yelling, "How dare ya give me that attitude young lady, just because you're 18 ya think ya can do what ya want? No wonder ye took ya mother's side ya just as much of a bitch as she is, I'm going to the pub to have a drink!" before the front door slammed shut before Paige and Charlotte heard becky,
"Y-ya can come out now lasses, he's gone." and when Paige and Charlotte crawled out from under Becky's bed their faces were shocked when they saw a visibly shaking Becky standing in her doorway with shards of glass in her hair.
And both Paige and Charlotte didn't know what to say before Becky broke the momentary silence as she said, "I-I guess both ya lasses heard everythin' then? now ya both know what I have to go through every day and now ya probably want to leave and never come back and leave me all alone again, just like before." Paige noticed tears forming in Becky's eyes as she gave her a cuddle and brushed some of the shards of glass from her hair and replied,
"Becky, now me and Charlotte understand what you struggle with everyday and we heard everything your dad said and we are not going to leave you know matter what." Charlotte didn't know what else she could add so she just stood there and smiled.
Then becky smiled at Paige as she said "T-thanks lass, it feels good to know I have some good friends in you and Charlotte, by the way I found a film we can watch together." then both Charlotte and Paige smiled as they replied,
"What's that then becks?" Becky then smiled as she said, "I thought we could all watch Ghost Rider together." then Paige smiled and replied, "That sounds nice Becks." before all three girls then climbed into Becky's bed with Becky in the middle of Paige and Charlotte.
And before Becky pressed play on her remote she sat there and said to both Paige and Charlotte, "Oh, that's right I have to show ya lasses something." before she then leaned over and grabbed her phone from her dresser and opened the camera app on her phone and clicked on a video of her practicing her cover of fire by farewell to fear, while Paige and Charlotte leaned their heads on each of Becky's shoulders before they said,
"You sound really good Becks, is this the song you were going to do at the talent show tomorrow?" Becky laid there in between Paige and Charlotte and smiled and replied,
"You bet I am, lasses." before she then pressed play on her remote and the film started.
Towards the end of the film, Becky's mum came in and smiled as she found all three girls fast asleep in Becky's bed so her mum walked over to her tv and turned the movie off, before quietly closing the door as to not disturb the girls before Becky's mum then phoned both Charlotte and Paige's parents and told them they were staying over for the night before then going upstairs to bed herself.
The next morning, all three girls woke up and yawned a little and Charlotte looked at the time on her phone before she said, "We better start getting ready, as school starts in one hour." becky then grabbed her costume from her wardrobe and went to the bathroom to get changed and Charlotte was shocked at how cute Becky looked in her outfit dressed as Poison Ivy, before Paige then went to get changed into her costume when becky heard a knock on the door so she went downstairs to answer the door to Charlotte's dad Ric Flair as he handed becky a bag and said,
"I just came by to drop my daughter's costume off as well as some overnight stuff in case she stays over again." Becky smiled and replied,
"Thank ya Ric, I'll let her know." before she then closed the door and went back upstairs to her room.
And when she came back to her room, Charlotte had a confused look on her face before she asked, "Who was that, Becks?" becky smiled and replied,
"That was your dad Char, he just came by to drop off your costume and some overnight stuff in case ya wanted to stay the night here again." and Charlotte took the bag from Becky and smiled and said,
"My dad is such a life saver in these situations." before heading off to get changed into her costume.
When Charlotte came back, both Becky and Paige were shocked when they saw Charlotte dressed like Elsa from frozen before Becky said, "Wow Char, you look really good." Charlotte smiled and replied,
"Aww thanks Becks, you and Paige look really good too, now come on we need to get to school before we are late." before all three girls then made their way downstairs and after becky put on a red cardigan that went with the colour of her costume, she noticed a problem so she turned to Charlotte and Paige and said,
"Me bike only has enough room for one of ya lasses to sit on the back." Paige quickly replied,
"I'll sit with you on your bike becky." Becky looked at Charlotte who smiled at her and said,
"It's ok Becks, you take Paige on your bike and I'll get the school bus." Becky then smiled and replied,
"Ye sure, Char?" Charlotte smiled and said,
"I'm sure becks."
When they arrived at school, Becky parked her bike in the parking lot and turned the key in the ignition before stepping off and helping Paige off her bike before they both walked around to the front gates where Charlotte was waiting for them, before all three of them then walked inside and sat next to each other in assembly as the Principal congratulated the students that bothered to dress up for world book day and said the students could leave in time for their first lesson which for Paige, Becky and Charlotte was English.
After English all three of the girls made their way to the main hall for the talent show as the principal called out the students one by one as they went up on stage and did what they did for the show and Becky was feeling a little nervous before Paige looked at Becky with a smile and said, "Don't worry Becks, you will be great up there." Becky nervously smiled and replied,
"Thanks lass, I never done anything like this before in my old school so it means a lot to me." before she then slowly made her way up to the stage as it was her turn to perform.
And all of the students went quiet as Becky started her performance as she strummed her guitar and started singing and when she was finished all the students remained silent for a few moments and Becky thought to herself, "They didn't like it, and now they're gonna boo me off the stage." until Becky started smiling as she heard the students slowly start cheering and clapping and slowly getting louder and louder and Becky looked down from the stage and saw her friends Paige and Charlotte also cheering for her and becky happily walked off stage to join her friends.
Then as Becky went to take her seat Paige and Charlotte gave her a hug as they said "You were absolutely amazing up there, Becks." then Becky blushed and smiled and replied,
"Aww thank ya lasses, but I don't think I did enough to win." then the Principal came back on stage with a trophy and said,
"Ladies and gentlemen, after seeing so many wonderful performances today I think we have our winner and that winner is...Rebecca lynch!" Becky was shocked when she heard her name called out before she went up on stage to collect her trophy to loud claps and cheers from the rest of the students.
At lunchtime Paige and Becky were in the School council room trying to sort out a event for Halloween which was only a few days away when Roman and Aleister walked in with smiles on their faces as they took their seats and saw Becky sitting with her trophy before Roman said, "You deserve that trophy Becky, you were awesome out there." to which Becky blushed and smiled at Roman and replied,
"Aww, thank ya Roman, I still can't believe I won when everyone was so good." before everyone then quietly got on with their work before Aleister had an idea and said,
"For Halloween, why don't we have some sort of concert or fair with food and drinks and music."
Then Paige sat there and smiled as she replied to Aleister, "That does sound like a good idea, and it would be way more fun than a stupid dance like Mandy and Sonya would have suggested just leave everything to me and Becky." before Paige then said the rest of the School council could leave and they left leaving Paige and Becky alone in the room together before Paige turned to Becky and said, "You don't mind going up on stage again and perform some Halloween songs do you, Becks?" Becky blushed a little as she looked at Paige and replied,
"Of course not lass, as long as you're there to watch me." then as both Paige and Becky's lips slowly drew closer to each other and were inches apart, Paige sat there and said,
"I-I should probably get this signed off and try and get some sleep and you should get some sleep too Becks, I'll text you where to meet up." Becky smiled and replied,
"Aye, I hear ya lass all this School council stuff has taken a lot out of me lately, I'll text ya when I get home lass."
Before then both Paige and Becky stood up from their chairs and Becky packed her trophy in her bag before they both then walked to the door of the School council room while subconsciously holding hands with each other, before Becky blushed a little as they walked through the door and down the corridor towards the front gates before they went their separate ways as Charlotte was standing by the front gates with a smile as she saw Becky and Paige holding hands before Charlotte text Becky while she was waiting for the school bus with Paige, " So Becks, are u and Paige dating yet? C." And Becky answered her text as she stepped over her bike and put the key in the ignition as she typed back,
" Not yet lass, I didn't even realise I was holding hands with her until I saw ya smiling. Bex" before she then slowly pulled out of the parking lot and revved her engine a couple of times before slowly picking up speed as she drove off towards her house waving at Paige and Charlotte as she went by.
When Becky got home that day, she showed her mum her trophy she won at School which earned her a huge hug from her mum before Becky then took her trophy upstairs to her room and placed it on her dresser next to her bed before she got changed into her pajamas and laid down on her bed and started texting paige, " I'm home lass, did ya get home home okay? Bex." And she didn't have to wait long for a reply when Paige text her back,
" Yh I got home alright baby girl, what did your mum think your trophy you won? P." And they text each other back and forth for hours.
And it wasn't until after Becky had her dinner and was reading back through her texts when she spotted the name on her phone and she double checked it just to make sure Paige didn't type anything wrong, and read the name out loud to herself as she read the words, "Sexy Irish crush" and those same words went through Becky's mind over and over as she tried to work out why Paige would put that as her name on her phone, "sexy. Irish. Crush." Then Becky suddenly realised that she recently changed Paige's name on her phone to, "cute gothic crush" before she then started texting Charlotte, " Hey Char, I think Paige might be crushing on me. Bex"
Before Charlotte then text Becky back, " What makes you say that becks? C." Then Becky took a screenshot on her phone and sent it to Charlotte as she typed back,
" Look at the name lass. Bex" so Charlotte carefully looked at the picture Becky sent her before she noticed what Becky was talking about and typed back,
" Ok. Relax Becks. Paige told me earlier that she thinks you are crushing on her too."
Then Becky smiled as she typed back to Charlotte, " Relax? How can I relax when I think about paige almost all the time, and that Paige always knows how to put a smile on my face and also whenever I'm with Paige I just feel so safe and protected, so yh I guess I am crushing on Paige a tiny bit. Bex"
And Becky blushed a little after she realised what she just typed to her friend before Charlotte text her back, "Well becks, sometimes all it takes is a spark to fall in love with someone. Why don't u try talking to Paige tomorrow and tell her how you really feel about her and just see what happens. C." Before Becky then smiled and replied,
" Thanks lass, yh I will try talking to Paige tomorrow in the School council room and just see what happens. See ya tomorrow lass. Bex" before she then put her phone on her dresser and tried to get some sleep.
The next day, Becky arrived at School early and after she parked her bike she made her way to the School council room and after opening the door, she smiled when she saw Paige sitting at the table busy sorting out plans for the Halloween fair and eagerly took her seat next to Paige before she looked at paige and said, "So, Paige there was something I'd been wanting to say to ya for a while now lass." Paige looked at Becky with a smile and replied,
"What's that then baby girl?" Becky took a deep breath as she knew this was the moment of truth for her before she looked paige and said,
"Well, truthfully I started having a crush on ya since I first saw ya going into assembly and ever since then I have not stopped thinking about ya and how every time I'm with ya, ya just make me feel safe and protected."
Paige didn't say anything back and Becky thought her fears in her mind were coming true as she watched Paige get up from her chair and walk around to her, before Paige then gently pulled Becky up from her chair and put her arms around her in a cuddle before she replied,
"Becks, to tell you the truth I kinda started crushing on you since the day you stood up to Mandy and Sonya but I just didn't how to tell you at the time." Becky could feel Paige's hands slowly moving down towards her ass as their lips were slowly moving towards each other until they were inches apart when suddenly the school bell rang and the rest of the School council started to come in and Becky and Paige looked at each other with a slight smile and blushed before they sat down at their seats again.
Then Paige sat at the table and asked the rest of the council how the preparations for the Halloween festival was coming along, when Aleister sat there and said, "Things are going great, but we have one minor problem." Paige smiled and replied,
"That's good to hear, and is it to do with the money? because I don't mind putting some of my own money in to support this." Aleister smiled back at Paige and replied,
"No it's nothing to do with money Paige, the problem we have is Mandy and Sonya are trying to convince the other students not to go."
And just hearing Mandy's name made becky's blood boil before she said, "Don't worry about Mandy and Sonya, I'll sort those dopes out." Paige looked at Becky with a worried look and said,
"Are you sure becks?" Becky looked back at Paige with a smile and replied,
"I'm sure lass, we need this to go off without a hitch and I'm not going to let some bimbo and a wannabe cage fighter ruin this for us." then Roman sat there and smiled at becky and said,
"I respect that Becks, when Paige chose you as her Vice President I knew that you would do a great job and you are showing that already by dealing with Mandy and Sonya." Becky smiled at Roman and replied,
"Thank ya Roman, but someone has to deal with those dopes so we can put on the best Halloween festival we can and I'm not going to let Mandy or Sonya push me around anymore."
At lunchtime, Charlotte bought Becky and Paige some lunch for their hard work when Mandy and Sonya walked in still trying to convince the other students not to go to the Halloween festival, when Becky got up from her seat and stormed over to Mandy and Sonya before she said, "Just because your having a tantrum for being thrown off the School council DOES NOT GIVE EITHER OF YA DOPES THE RIGHT TO TRY AND SPOIL THE FUN FOR THE OTHER STUDENTS THAT ME AND THE REST OF SCHOOL COUNCIL WORKED TOO DAMN HARD TO MAKE HAPPEN!" Sonya gave Becky an evil look before she shoved Becky to the floor and replied,
"Who do you think you are? We have been at this school far longer than when you showed up!"
And Sonya went to throw a punch when Roman grabbed her arm and shook his head and Becky stood up and dusted herself off with a smile on her face and watched as Mandy and Sonya stormed off in a huff before Roman then turned to Becky with a smile and said,
"You and Paige should come to the Halloween festival because you girls deserve a break for all your hard work to make this happen." Becky then smiled at Roman and replied,
"Aww thank ya Roman, y'know me and Paige wouldn't have been able to make this possible without the help from the rest of the School council." before she then left to make her way home on her bike.
