Kelis POV
It's been two weeks since Pomfrey manhandled me. We managed to get all the evidence back to St Trinians safely, we watched the footage before destroying it. I never did get my big confrontation scene with Mum, somehow I think it's better off that way. Things have gone back to the way they were, for the first few days Mum wouldn't let me out of her sight,
"Mum, I'm not going anywhere. You can stop stalking me," I told her. It didn't reassure her enough, I had to beg Fritton to get Mum to stop.
Today the new term at St Trinians starts, I stand outside the front doors in my St Trinian uniform to wait for them. I sit on the steps for around an hour, I remember the feel of the sun on my skin. It isn't as hot as Spain was but it feels refreshing. I then lean on my arms and throw my head backwards to let the sun touch my face. My relaxing time outside of the front doors only lasts an hour before my annoying cousin comes to join me,
"If you're going to make any snide comments just leave," I tell her, I don't move from my position,
"You take the fun out of everything," She whines, I then smirk,
"I know, I'm a good cousin like that,"
"What you thinking about?" She asks me. I pull my head back up and look into Jen's eyes,
"Spain," I sigh,
"You thinking of going back?" I shrug, I don't know what I want, "You know what happens when you go back, don't you?" I nod,
"I don't know what I want," I tell her honestly,
"Yeah you do," She says, her mischievous smile appears on her face,
"Do tell me wise Jenifer what it is I desire!" I mock, I throw my hands in the air and wave them about as I say it,
"Pedro," She grins, I knew that was coming. I jump up to my feet, Jen senses the danger and bolts. I then follow her back into the building,
"Get back here!" I yell after her.
Jen runs through the school laughing like a complete lunatic, I chase after her. We pass many teachers who either laugh at us or roll their eyes and mutter something about me. I ignore what they say, all I want to do is catch my dope of a cousin. Then we pass Mum and Fritton, Mum smiles while Fritton says something about Taylor. A few corridors later we race past the two hockey coaches that forced me into playing on my first day three years ago, one of them is holding Mum's hockey stick. As I run past them I snatch the hockey from their grasp and continue to chase Jen. I'm starting to get abit breathless, this running business takes it out of you. Suddenly Jen starts to run the other way, I skid to halt. Then I realise that my lovely cousin is playing mind games with me. With grunt and scowl, I turn around and resume the chase.
I manage to catch up to her and I soon get close enough to trip her. I smirk as I hook the bottom of the hockey stick around her ankle and pull. She trips up and lands face first onto the floor. Before I can make a smug comment someone claps. I turn around and see Mum smiling in pride and Fritton rolling her eyes. Jokingly, I bow to my audience and blow them kisses. Some thing's just grabbed onto my ankle. Oh no.
"Ow," I groan as I lift my head up from the floor, "that was uncalled for,"
"You're the one that tripped me up,"
"You started it with your stupid Pedro comment," I say as I sit up,
"Maybe I wouldn't make those comments if you would just hurry up and admit you like Pedro," I take a deep breath breath and I stand up.
"Why do you have to be so annoying?"
"Annoyingly brilliant," She winks. My darling cousin then stands up and dusts her self off, "You better keep your eye on Pedro when the St Trinians are here. They'll eat him up for breakfast,"
"They won't if the head girl tells them to keep there hands off. I can remember one head girl who gave us hell for mixing business with pleasure. We all knew that she fancied him," Andrea says as she appears,
"It doesn't matter if the head girl tells them to leave him or not, he'll be going back to that island in a few days," I try to hide the disappointment in my voice,
"I doubt that he'll go back there, think of all the trouble he'll be in just for coming along with us," Jen says,
"You were the one that pulled him into the boat, therefore you should be the one to get him out of trouble,"
"You wouldn't let go of him," She shrugs, "Besides, you're glad I pulled him in," She smirks,
"I am glad I was pulled in too," A male voice with a Spanish accent interrupts,
"And they called it Puppy love," Jen sings as she skips away. It takes all my will power to not chase after her,
"You're not chasing her?" Pedro asks in shock,
"Can't be arsed with her, besides I'll just suck up to the head girl and have her set the first years upon my dope of a cousin," I smile evilly,
"You'll be suckin' up ta ya sen then," Taylor says, I spot her coming out of a classroom,
"What are you talking about?"
"Aint 'Belle told ya? You're da new head girl,"
"Taylor, you've ruined the surprise!" Fritton scolds,
"Maybe if ya weren't too busy flirtin' wiv Kelloggs you could've stopped me." She smiles before she walks away.
I stand there in shock. Last time I was at St Trinians I was only there for a few days, so why would I be made head girl? I look to Mum who smiles in delight, then it clicks. I've only become head girl because of Mum. This is Mum's doing, I haven't got the title for being me. I've only got it because Mum's fucking around with Fritton. Why does she have to always do this? Why the fuck does she have to meddle in everything? "I don't want to be head girl," I tell them, anger rising in my voice, "I don't want something unless I've earned it. I don't want to be head girl because Mum and Fritton are fucking each other. This is why I left last time. Why do you have to meddle in everything?" I yell at them both. I then storm off.
I march down the corridors and kick anything that I see. I've been back for a grand total of two weeks and she's already trying to control my life. When will she see that I want to earn my rewards? All I want is to do things by myself but can I get that? Of coarse not! She's pissed me off big time! I then go back to my temporary room, I've had enough already. I'm going back to Spain. Mum's had her second chance and she's screwed up, I don't give a damn if I will be forced into marriage or not. I don't care if that cocky little swine Juan is going to become my husband. I just don't care anymore. I begin to pack. This time I'm leaving my iPod behind.
I walk over to my dresser and pull out some clothes, as I pull them out I look out the window. Fuck. The King's here. Double fuck. He's brought Juan. Triple Fuck. Pedro's out there with him. I feel my mouth drop and my eyes grow wider. This is so bad, so very bad. I drop the clothes that I'm holding and sprint out the door, I have to get to them before anything else happens. "Jen!" I shout as I run down the corridors. I shout as loud as I can, Jen needs to know about this. As I get to the reception area I spot Jen lounging around on one of the sofas. She looks at me with her face full of confusion, "The King's here and Pedro's gone to meet him!" She then jumps up and follows me out of the door. I skid to a stop as I approach the King, I then sink to my knees.
"Raise Jenifern and Kelsey," He says. I do as I am told, usually I wouldn't but this is serious. I look over the King's shoulder and see a storm of anarchy come this way, "Pedro, you have disobeyed my demands," He says with a raised voice,
"Lo siento mucho," Pedro replies, he sounds as if he is pleading. My Spanish friend then approachers the King and starts to beg for forgiveness. I gasp in shock as the King slaps Pedro away, the force in which he does it knocks Pedro to the ground. The King then looks the Juan and the cocky swine smiles in a cruel way. Juan then pulls Pedro to his feet roughly and then knees him in the stomach and starts to beat him up.
Anger starts to bubble inside of me, how dare they do that to him! Who do they think they are? I march over to where Juan is beating Pedro, I can feel the fury burn like a fire in my eyes. I try to pull Juan off of Pedro but he's too strong. I then get knocked to the floor, I don't which man did it but I do have my suspicions. "Kelis!" Jen shouts, her voice full of worry, she then rushes to my side,
"I'm fine," I tell her, but I can feel a sharp pain in my arm,
"Your arm's bent a funny way, I think it's dislocated," I groan, that's all I need,
"Never mind my arm, just help me get Juan off of Pedro," Jen then chuckles,
"I think he's got it covered," I look at her in confusion. I watch as Jen's eyes move to watch Juan beat up Pedro, I then look. Pedro's found some strength and is beating the shit out of that cocky swine. I smile, nothing like a good fight. But this fight is about to turn bad as the King pulls Pedro off of Juan. I flinch as the sound of skin hitting skin reaches my ears, I try to get to my feet. I want this to stop, I want to help Pedro. But there's something holding me in place,
"Stay still, we don't know if your arm's broken or not, you could do more damage," Why does Jen choose now to be the caring cousin? Why won't she let me help Pedro?
"OI!" A man shouts. The King looks around, as he moves out the way I see a very angry looking Dad with all of the St Trinians stood behind him. Dad punches Juan in the jaw,
"That's for hurtin' ma daughter!" He screams in anger. Then Dad knees him in the stomach, "That's for bein' a snake and hittin' a man when he's down!" Dad then gives Juan a black eye, "And that's 'cause I don't like ya!" I smile, I may not have known my Dad for long but I knew I could count on him.
"I'd get out of here if I were you, these girls are the best fighters in Europe." I tell him.
The King looks like he is about to protest but he looks into the eyes of the St Trinians. He's full of fear, you can see it in his eyes. The King pulls an injured Juan to his feet and leaves without another word. I sigh in relief, I guess we wont be seeing those two prats again. The St Trinians cheer, I think they're cheering Flash. I don't get the chance to ask because I feel myself being lifted into the air.
"Put me down!" I yell, Pedro just chuckles.
"You are hurt," He states, no shit Sherlock,
"He just wants an excuse to hold you!" Jen shouts, if it wasn't for the fact that Pedro wouldn't let go of me I would've ran back to her and hit her or something. I pout and give Pedro my puppy dog eyes,
"When your arm is better, you can chase Jenifer," He laughed.
I was taken to the hospital part of the school, then I got moved to the hospital to have my elbow popped into place. I didn't feel it, I was placed on gas and air. All I did was laugh. Now I'm back at St Trinians, lounging about on the sofas in the reception area. My elbows in a sling but it won't be for long, when it's out I shall be going back to showing Jen who's boss. Mum and Fritton are sitting on one of the other sofas while Jen and Chelsea Parker sit another and Taylor and Andrea sit on the final one. Pedro comes and joins us, he sits down beside me.
"Get in there Kelis!" Jen shouts, I roll my eyes. I'll let that comment slide,
"Still don't want to be the next head girl?" Mum asks me,
"If I'm to be head girl I want to earn it. I don't want it because you two are fucking each other," I tell her,
"Language!" She warns,
"You did earn it," Fritton tells me, "You've shown true head girl qualities. You have helped save some St Trinians from prison by retrieving that footage, you've shown us your anarchy, you've proven your smart enough but above all else you have proven that you are a St Trinian." I smile,
"And you've proven you love Pedro," Jen smirks, she wants me to chase to her. Well I'm not going to give her that,
"I'll let that one slide because I'm the mature one," I smile, everyone then looks at me in shock, "What? Life's to short,"
"As one great poet once said 'Leave the past behind and only then you'll find that there's more to life then you first though'," Andrea says,
"Tha' was N-Dubz," Taylor corrects, then the chav laughs.
"Life's too short Kelis so hurry up and admit you love Pedro. We all know you want him," Jen smiles, that's it. I start to get up from my seat, ready to pounce on my cousin. However, Pedro pushes me back down,
"Not until your arms better," He tells me,
"Sod the arm," I pout, "Besides you can't make me stay,"
"Really?" He challenges, before I can answer he pulls me into a kiss. It takes me a moment to respond but I do,
"Took ya long enough!" Jen laughs, I break the kiss. I push Pedro away,
"Let me deal with my darling cousin first," I smirk. Once again I then chase after Jen, we run up the staircase. Jen is faster then me, stupid elbow, and before I can get to her I hear a loud crash. "Karmas a bitch isn't it?" I yell up to her. Laughing, I return to my seat beside Pedro and resume our kiss.
This is where I belong. This is my home. But more importantly, these are my family. Who needs a kingdom when you can be apart of something as unique as this? Not me that's for sure! I never thought that things would get better. But life can only get better, trust me when I say that. I never want to walk the road I have been walking ever again. But I won't ever have to be alone again, I can hold my head high because I'm strong again.
Aww a happy ending. I'll be honest, I'm sad to see Kelis go. But I think I might do another story about Kelis because let's face it Kelis and Jen are fun to write about. Now did we like the ending? I did and I liked Jen and her Pedro comments. There was a reason why I wrote this today. I wanted to finish a story on my birthday, see I have simple reasons :']. Ahaa, my age is the amount of chapters. Now that's magical :']
