Chapter 4 ~ Confessions
Jemima grinned as she heard Pouncival, they were best friends and because of the new school they hadn't seen each other all day.
"Hey Pounce! What is it?"
Pouncival bit his lip and hesitated,
"Err could you meet me in the park in about half an hour?"
Jemima smiled,
"Sure!"
"Er great, I'll see you then"
"Bye!"
And with that they were disconnected, sighing Pouncival grabbed a pair of new jeans and yanked them on. He would have invited her back to his place but you never got much privacy in a children's home…
Jemima waited patiently for Pouncival, her black, red and white hair fell over her face. She didn't make an effort on her appearance when she was just meeting Pouncival, she was just wearing black baggy skater trousers and a white shirt with a black sweater vest. She didn't put on make up, she thought it was stupid to tart yourself up if you were just going to meet your friend.
Pouncival stopped in his track and checked himself in a shop window. He however was making a BIG effort, he was wearing new jeans and a plain white shirt. He attempted to style his hair spiky like the way Tumblebrutus did, he sighed headed for the park.
Sillabub had escorted Bill Bailey back to the home, he sighed
"Time to face the thunder" he said softly.
Sillabub suddenly flung her arms around his neck,
"Be careful" she whispered, Bill Bailey stroked her hair tenderly, twisting her hair in between his fingers. He gave her a soft kiss on her cheek and hurried inside, Sillabub breathed in hurriedly. She walked off with a bounce in her step.
"Hi Pounce!"
"Hello Jemima, I need to talk to you"
"That's why we met here isn't it?"
Jemima chuckled but saw the hard expression on his face, she stopped laughing immediately. Pouncival breathed in sharply, he couldn't well not now anyway..
"Umm, do you want to too err come to the cinema with me this Friday?" Pouncival scalded himself for being such a coward, Jemima's face brightened
"Okay sure!" she smiled.
Pounce grinned back falsely, he held out his arm
"Wanna go walk through the gardens?" Jemima smiled taking his arm.
Pouncival looked at the gravel beneath him, one day he'd tell her, it just – wasn't the right time……
