I'm sorry for the REALLY late update guys... My laptop decided it no longer liked me switched its allegiance to helping disable the firewall so the nasty viruses could get in and help it commit euthanasia. But it's okay because now I have a nice shiny new friend. Hurray for January sales!
Okay so once again, I do not own St Trinian's. However I do own six out of the 7 movies on DVD. (Yes I am just that sad, but I don't care). Reviews are lovely, they make me smile. Thank you to everyone who reviewed the first chapter, your good deed has not gone unnoticed and karma will repay you. Enjoy the second chapter.
Only an hour before, Kelly had watched Flash dart from the building like it were contaminated, however, now she was once again curled up with her book, choosing to relax in the sixth form lounge rather then her room. Annabelle was sat opposite her, roughly flicking through a magazine that had been left on the coffee table, not really seeming to read anything that was written in it though; Just a meaningless object to pass the time which actually held no interest to Annabelle. Andrea was huddled up on the bay window seat, an iPod headphone in each ear, eyes closed and her hair gently swaying to and fro as she moved her head to music. Nobody was talking and nobody planned to, preferring to just get on with their own thing, not bothered by the others in the room. None of them had a lesson to be in or a scheme to set up and for once it was peaceful.
This, however, lasted all but 10 minutes when it was disturbed by a knock on the hard oak door. Both Kelly's and Annabelle's focus turned immediately to the disruption; Andrea still being consumed by her music was oblivious to anything going on around her and carried on as before.
"Come in." Annabelle called out to the intruder of the peace and the twins entered the room, looking angelic as ever and smiled sweetly.
"You wanted to see us Kel?" Their voices in perfect unison they spoke straight to the head girl. Annabelle shot a look at Kelly, a look that clearly blamed her for this disruption and carried on with the magazine, turning the pages slightly louder then before to demonstrate her irritation at the interruption.
Kelly simply ignored this, not even bothering to look at Annabelle, and smiled back at the twins, letting them know they weren't in trouble.
"Yes girls, Flash got a large order of vodka for next Friday, apparently over double the normal amount. Will you be able to produce triple the batch by that time?"
"We should be able to." Tania smiled at Kelly, ecstatic about the trust Kelly obviously has in them.
"But we can't promise anything." Tara quickly spoke up; wanting to make sure they cover their bases.
"Just do your best girls, no one expects any more then that. You can go back to your lesson now. Thanks."
Once the twins had left it seemed like the mood would go back to its pervious setting, however by now interruptions seemed inevitable as Annabelle's phone, which she had abandoned on the coffee table when she picked up the magazine, rang. Kelly didn't get a chance to peek at the caller ID before Annabelle grabbed the phone, took one glance at it and hurried from the room, answering the phone as she was halfway out of the door. Kelly could make out pieces of Annabelle's comments as she, apparently, attempted to get out of hearing range. Calls of 'Hold on!' and 'Just wait!' drifted down the hall and through the still open door to Kelly.
Deciding to let Annabelle have her privacy, and apparently secrets, Kelly quickly stood up, made one swift movement to the door and pushed it closed with a brush of her fingertips. Picking up the discarded magazine off the floor where Annabelle had dropped it she made her way back to her chair and slung the magazine back onto the table. Her mind was running wild, who was on the phone to Annabelle? Why was she being so secretive? It drove Kelly insane to think that the younger girl didn't trust her. Kelly trusted Annabelle, trusted her with her life, and she had thought that Annabelle felt the same towards Kelly. They were friends, so why was Annabelle keeping Kelly in the dark? It reminded Kelly of how Annabelle had been acting earlier, the heartlessness Kelly felt from her. Nothing seemed to make sense anymore.
Picking up her book from the chair Kelly made her way over to Andrea and softly tapped the girl on the shoulder. She had decided she needed to find out what was going on, before she was sent to a mad house. Andrea took out one headphone and looked up at Kelly expectantly.
"When you next see Annabelle can you tell her I want to talk to her please and to come and find me? It's important."
Andrea simply nodded at Kelly's request and replaced the headphone, relapsing into her music coma. Kelly simply sighed and decided to retire to her room for a while.
Okay, so it's a very very short chapter.. I know. But it's 4 in the morning and I am very tired.
But I promise I will update within the week with the next chapter. And I just thought you all might like to know…. It's a biggie! I'm looking forward to reading any reviews and comments. Goodnight all!
