Right, I'm back and I'm BAD! Jokes. Anyway I have big plans for this fanfic so bare with me. In the reviews, I want to know what you think is going to happen in the next chapter. If you get it right, I will mention you here in Author's Notes and you can choose the name of my new character at Abbey Grove. It can be a boy or a girl. So get guessing...

Disclaimer: I don't own anything you might recognise in this FanFic. But I sure as hell would have liked to. :-D

Chapter 2

Chantelle's POV

The bell went signalling that school is over for the day. It is exactly 3:30 PM so I have about 20 minutes before my mum goes mental. My house is only 10 minutes away from Abbey Grove. I have to walk home.

But first I have to get my little sister Emily and my little brothers Jeremy and Jerry from their classes. Emily is 11 turning 12 next month - so she is in Year 7 at Abbey Grove; her form room is on the other side of school. Jeremy and Jerry are 10 turning 11 next week (Year 6) and they are twins. Their school is a few blocks away so that would take about ten minute to get them all. Then we have to take another 10 minutes to walk home.

I had better get going then...

Alfie's POV

Well, that was a great day at work/school. Chantelle still hasn't spoken. I pulled Jing, Joe and Steven back after class and asked them what happened to Chantelle. I can still remember the exact words they said.

Flashback

"Jing, Joe, Steven, stay back please - the rest of you 'enjoy' the rest of your day," I said.

"What is it, Sir?" Joe asked

"I think it's about time all of you guys called me Alfie - Sir is just boring."

Joe quietly laughed.

"What is it, Alfie?" Jing asked.

"Is this about Chantelle?" Steven asked.

"Yeah. Does anyone know why she doesn't talk? I tried asking her but I got nothing so I figured that you three might know something..."

"Everyone in Form K went to the same primary school and she joined in Year 6," Steven stated.

"All throughout Year 6, Chantelle was so happy," Jing added.

"She used to be friends with everyone - even the teachers. She would play with everybody. She would just brighten up everybody's day," Joe said happily.

"When by the end of the year, she just wasn't the same," Steven said.

"She talked back to the teachers, got into a lot of fights and nearly got expelled," Jing said.

"That was when she just broke. She wouldn't talk to anyone. Shut everyone out," Joe said.

"No-one knew what happened. She just doesn't tell anyone. We try to talk to her but nothing works," Steven finished.

"Wow - she must've had a really bad time with whatever happened to her. Thanks guys. I'm gonna find out what happened and fix it!" I stated.

Anyway, I was walking home from school as I do every day after school. Thank God - Dad only drops me at school and doesn't pick me up! I walked out of the gate and I saw Chantelle looking very stressed as though she was about to cry; she was walking with who, I figured, had to be her brothers and sister. They weren't that far away so I could just about hear what was going on.

"Chantelle, I wanna go buy some sweets," said Jerry.

"Chantelle, what's for dinner?" asked Jeremy.

"Chantelle, I need help with all of my homework," stated Emily.

"Chantelle, you're not even listening!" Jerry exclaimed.

"Chantelle, are you okay?!" asked Jeremy.

"Chantelle?" Emily said concerned.

At that point, I started walking towards them...

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!" Chantelle snapped.

Everyone was staring at her...

WOAH...
