"Who know's?" Christine asked frantically.
"No one, just you."
"What are you going to do?"
"Nothing."
"Dynas-"
"I'm doing nothing, I just... I feel lost Miss."
"Lost?"
"I can't function, I have all this anger clinging onto my chest, all the hate and hurt just stabbing at me and I don't know what to do with myself any-more."
"Oh Dynasty, things will get easier."
"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IT WAS ME IN THAT FLAT NOT YOU." Dynasty snapped. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry Miss I-"
"It's not a problem. Do you feel better?"
"Yeah.." Dynasty said as if it was strange.
"Good now, do you want a cup of tea?"
"Yes, uh please Miss."
"Ok, sugar?"
"Two please, and milk."
"Okay."

Dynasty sat in silence, the images flashed threw her mind and she fell off the chair. She got up dazed and sat back down.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just dizzy."
"You've got to be more careful Dynasty, do not let this take control of you."
"I try Miss. I really do. Miss, how come you understand? No one else does, to my friends and other people in my year I'm either a slut or victim, you don't treat me with a label why?"
"Because, I was raped seventeen years ago and I was completely... alone." Christine said as she began to cry. Instinctively Dynasty hugged her.
"Miss, did you say seventeen?"
"Y-e-s."
"Connor!" Dynasty said as her jaw dropped and dragged on the floor.

Christine turned away ashamed and still hurting. She sat behind her desk and wiped her tears before becoming very stern and very serious very quickly.

"Do not tell him please, I'm begging."
"I won't Miss. Keep my secret?"
"Yes, of course to my grave if I have to." Christine joked provoking a slight smile. "Go on, back to class."
"Okay, uh Miss."
"Yes?"
"You don't have to uh tell anyone 'cos of the law or anythin' right?"
"No, even if I did do you think I would?" Christine said with a snort.
"No."
"Go on, I'm sure your teacher won't wait on your account."
"Yeah.. See ya."
"See you later."

"Where is she? She completely missed fifth period!" Kevin demanded.
"Calm down Kev, she's probably on her way." Connor assured.
"YOU SAID THAT AN HOUR AGO!" Kevin said.
"Maybe she didn't fancy Maths?" Connor said naively.
"No, she isn't here, Imogen have you seen her?" Kevin said as Imogen sat down.
"Seen who?"
"Dyn."
"Oh, no not since first period why?"
"No one has seen her!" Kevin whimpered.
"Dynasty's having a rough time Kev, just let her be." Imogen said.
"Argh." Kevin growled. "Normally when someone hits a rough patch they go to their friends."
"Ah shut up Kev." Connor said having reached his limit.
"I'll go find her." Imogen announced finally and walked away before anyone could protest.

Dynasty sat on the pier looking out at the water, she sighed as she watched the same motion again as if it had been re-winded and replayed over and over again. Like the same moment, captured once and replayed for eternity just like her. Stuck, frozen halted in a moment that would last.

"I thought I'd find you here." Imogen said quietly.
"You found me."
"May I ask why you decided to bunk off?"
"Needed to think."
"I see, well Kevin's been running Connor up the wall after you didn't come back at lunch."
"I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologise for everything you know?"
"Sorry."
"Quit it!" Imogen joked as she poked Dynasty who was leaning on the railing.

Imogen sighed after twenty minutes of silence and started to head back to school to meet Connor. She looked at the absent Dynasty then turned and beagn to walk away.

"Don't go."
"Huh?"
"I said don't go. Not without me anyway."
"Is that all it took? Seriously? I could have had you talking twenty minutes ago?"
"'Dunno."
"C'mon, school will be over by the time we get back."
"Shame."
"Yeah it is when you're already behind Dyn."
"Ah."
"Yeah so do you want to tell me what's bugging you?" Imogen said softly.
"No, I want you to tell me what I missed today."
"You always change the subject."
"So?"
"Just tell me. I won't stop asking."
"Im-"
"No, tell me."
"Will you tell anyone?"
"No."
"You ain't like that anyway really."
"No I'm not."
"Imogen.. I'm pregnant."
"What? Who's?"
"I don't knoW."
"Is it Kevin's?"
"I said I don't know. It's more likely Ste-ve-O's."
"Oh. My God."
"Happy now?!" Dynasty said before storming off.
