- Chapter Two -

- Introducing Chantelle -

Edmund's POV:

I wrapped my arms around her tiny waist - a little too tiny for my liking, I like some meat on my girlfriends bones - and pulled her into my chest. She giggled, stringing her skinny arms around my neck, gazing up at me. I smiled down at her, making her smile sweetly back.

"Oh! Did you miss me as much as I missed you?" She asked, pouting while giving me puppy dog eyes. I inwardly growled, looking over to where Melissa and Lucy sat. Noticing them giggling at me and Chantelle, I glared and turned my head towards Chantelle again, nodding.

"Of course I did, Chantelle! I didn't see you half as much as I would have liked to! You always wanted to shop with your friends," I smiled, kissing her plump lips. I scowled and wiped my mouth when I felt sticky lip gloss stain my lips, causing Chantelle to giggle. I laughed sarcastically and removed my arms from her waist. I felt someone tap me on my shoulder, twice. Only difference was, two people tapped me separately on different shoulders. I spun round, automatically seeing Lucy, I smiled at her, nodding, before seeing who was standing next to her. It seemed that Melissa had felt the need to tap me too, not that I minded of course.

"Er, Ed? The bells gone, we have to go to class," Lucy explained, totally blanking Chantelle, who - If I'm seeing correctly, out of the corner of my eye - is glaring at them for interrupting.

"When did the bell go? I didn't hear it and I normally do," I frowned, confusion evident in my voice. Lucy and Melissa giggled.

"That's because you were having a lovey dovey moment with your girlfriend," Melissa giggled, looking me in the eye. I smiled at her, noting how cute she was when she giggled. I couldn't help but start laughing, which of course was cut short by, why Chantelle, of course!

"And so what if he was having a, what did you call it, a "lovey dovey" moment with his girlfriend? He is allowed! He's had that right for about a year now, girl!" She snapped, enveloping me in another hug, before placing a sweet kiss on my lips. I heard Lucy snort.

"She was only making a point, for goodness sake! Why do you have to take offence to everything? Yes, we, as in me and Edmund, know that he's had that right for a year now, which is when you became his girlfriend, but she's new! She isn't going to know is she! My goodness Edmund, you really know how to pick them!" Lucy growled, turning on Chantelle.

"Lucy, its okay. My mistake, let's go to registration. Come on," Melissa pleaded, watching everyone else pour into the school building. Lucy shook her head, showing Melissa she was standing her ground.

"No, I'm not going anywhere and neither is she until she apologises to you, Mellie," Lucy claimed, stomping her foot on the concrete ground.

"What! I am not apologising to some fat, ugly, girl, whose hair looks like rats tails and probably feels like straw! She probably can't afford anything to help her appearance! Probably, hasn't got money like us, Ed!" She sneered, laughing towards the end, carrying on, "Mummy can't afford hair products. Daddy not good enough to get a job." She taunted in Melissa's face. I noticed how the light in her eyes had disappeared at the mention of Mum and Dad, I frowned, suddenly becoming aware of the tears brimming over the edges of her eyes, streaming down her face.

"I'm sorry, I have to go. It was nice meeting you Lucy. Oh and you Edmund," She sobbed, running off out of the school gates.

"Oh my life! What a wimp!" Chantelle exclaimed. I stared at the gates, wondering what the hell just happened. It wasn't till I heard an enormous SMACK! that I pulled out of my trance.

"You horrible girl. How dare you be horrible to her on her first day? What right do you have? And to mention parents! If I were you, I wouldn't mention parents to Melissa again as it isn't a nice subject for her! And if I do catch you mentioning it to her, so help me, you won't see the light of another day!" She screeched, turning on her heel, she raced towards the headmaster office to fill him in on why Melissa wouldn't be attending today, at least that's what I thought she was doing.

"Oh my life! Edmund Pevensie! I can't believe you just stood there and let her say that to me, your girlfriend!" Chantelle yelled, poking me in the chest. I stumbled backwards, glaring at her.

"Well, you deserved it! You were horrible to her Chantelle!" I screamed, walking away towards my classroom. I'd decided that I would deal with her later, right now, I had to find out why parents are such a bad subject for Melissa from Lucy.
