Rachel sat waiting on Catherine to tell her but it was like she was scared to tell her. Rachel took her hand and waited until she felt ready to tell her.
" Take your time sweetheart. I can help you whatever the problem is," Rachel explained
" Okay.. The truth is.. The truth is... I'm.. I'm being bullied." Catherine said
" Okay, What happened Catherine?" Rachel asked
" I was at a party most of the Waterloo Road pupils were there and I was drunk even though I didn't intend on getting drunk. Someone had put more vodka in my drink and I was totally wasted and I may have kissed Bolton. But Danielle Harker was furious and we got into a fight and... and... people took photos and posted horrible things on Facebook about me. Then the next day I was in English and I received texts from someone on an unknown number calling me names and telling me to die. I just wanted this to stop. I just couldn't take anymore of this. I thought if I took those tablets I could end my life be free from this pain," Catherine explained crying
" Listen to me sweetheart, everything will be okay. I'm going to sort this out and we may need to get the police involved on this one. Can you show me the texts please Catherine?" Rachel asked
" They are there," Carly explained
Rachel was shocked how could someone be so horrible. The girl only made one mistake that was all. Rachel knew she had to get this sorted out fast.
" I'm so sorry you've had to be put through this. I'm going to get the person who did this and punish them." Rachel explained with a smile
" Miss have I done the right thing?" Catherine asked
" Yes you have. You don't need to be afraid this will be sorted out I promise and this won't happen again," Rachel explained
" Thanks Miss Mason," Catherine said
" No problem. We'll sort this tomorrow when you get back to school. Now get some rest you must be very tired. I'm going to get some coffee do you want anything?" Rachel asked
" No it's fine Miss Mason," Catherine said
" Okay, I'll be back soon." Rachel said and left the room.
