I really should be studying, but writing is more fun.

Chapter 9

Mary pov

"Bit harsh don't you think Powers" I said. I knew what she was doing. "if she didn't want sophie around she never would've put the effort in telling her. As if she can fool me." I thought

"Yeah well I learned from the best" she said. I smirked "yes you did" I thought

"Okay well I guess I'll see you around ay" she asked me. "Oh you will be doing a lot more than seeing me." I thought

"Sure, we could catch up on old times" I said.

"Oh powers, you think I'm that naïve to think you don't care about this one" I thought as I watched Sophie who looked like she had been hit by a bulldozer.

"You wanna play that way, fine. I'm gonna make Sophie hate you ,it won't be pretty" I thought

Sophie pov

I woke up the next morning, with a blinding headache. "Fuck" i thought as I put my hand to my head.

I opened my eyes and saw a pair of blue eyes looking into mine. I jumped up

"Sorry didn't mean to startle ya, you're just really interesting when you sleep" Mary said

"Okay creep" I thought.

"You all right? You seem a bit out of it." She asked me nicely

I frowned. "Why is she being nice to me?" she walked over to my bed and sat next to me.

"Look whatever Sian or anybody else has said about me… can you just forget about it… I have a past okay? Who doesn't? I made mistakes" she pleaded with me.

She seemed genuine. "Can we start fresh?" she asked. I nodded "suppose everybody disserves a 2nd chance, I wish I hadn't done half the stuff I did… especially one thing." I trailed off in my own thoughts.

"You wanna sit with me at breakfast?" she asked, she kept staring at me "Sophie?" I looked up and smiled.

"Great, well get dressed then" she said as she turned around

…..

We were both sitting at the breakfast table. Everybody was staring at us, hate in their eyes. "Fuck what did she do that was so awful?" I wondered

I saw Sian and Kathy come in, I quickly looked away. "Don't let her get to you, she does this to everybody". I furrowed my brows

"She acts all sweet at first, but she soon targets you with her bullying" she explained

"She did it to me too. Why do you think most people avoid her" she continued.

I looked at Sian and Kathy sitting on their own. "She does make a fair point, why do most people avoid her" I thought.

I narrowed my eyes. My instincts were screaming at me not to believe Mary, but the way Sian acted and Mary's arguments told me my instincts might be clouded.

"Look I'm gonna go back to my room okay, the death glares are kind of ruining my appetite" Mary said as she cleared of her plate.

I started playing with my food. I didn't notice Kathy making her way over to me.

"Sophie?" I looked up and saw her face; I turned my gaze away from her.

"Look I'm sorry how things played out but it's best that you stay away from Sian, okay?" she said calmly.

I frowned. "Where the fuck does she come of" I thought. I sighed and also cleared my plate. I started heading for the exit.

I saw Sian eyes on me, they were full of guilt, hurt and something else I couldn't quite place. I shrugged it off and went to the office for my next appointment with Dr. Wittmore.

Sian pov

I saw Kathy coming back to the table.

"What did you say to her, I told you just to say sorry and stuff" I said

"Yeah well I did" she answered with a high pitch voice

I narrowed my eyes. "What else did you say" I demanded

"Nothing!" she said

"Well you must've said something, you made her leave Rabbit" I stated

"I just said sorry and told her she should stay away from you" she confessed

"You what!" I widened my eyes "why did you go and do that" I questioned her

"Look it's for the best and you know it" she said to me "I know" I answered defeated looking down at my plate.

"I just wish…. She probably thinks I hate her… I continued

"Stop okay" Kathy took my plate away from me "look at me" she said. I did as she told me to.

"She doesn't hate" I scoffed at her

"Look if you're that upset about it, why don't you just tell Sophie" she suggested

I looked at her in horror. "Oh and I should probably tell her all about last year too hu?"

Kathy looked at me with sorrow written all over her face

"No, if Soph finds out what happened last year… she will not want to stay around me" I said quietly

"You don't know that, I stayed" she stated

"yeah, but your you and she's Sophie. I don't know how she'll react" I said

"Well, aren't you getting the same result anyway by avoiding her" she tried again

"Katy..." I sighed

"I don't wanna talk about this anymore" I said as I got up.

I looked at the clock. Great right in time for my weekly chats with yours truly.

As I got to 's office I saw Sophie sitting by herself. I wanted to go to her so badly, but I knew it wasn't a good idea if I wanted her to stay safe.

She looked up and stared into my eyes, I gulped. There was so much anger in them; if looks could kill I'd be dead in a second.

She soon turned her gaze to Dr. Wittmore who was now calling for her. My eyes followed her until she entered the office.

"Wait a sec didn't I have an appointment today?" I wondered. I looked at the clock on the wall 9am, Wednesday the 2nd. "Oh got the date wrong, might as well go back to my room" I muttered

…

I crept out my room to get a snack, when I was blocked by the devil herself.

"Thought we could have that chat now" she smirked

"Get out of my Mary, I don't have time for your shit" I snapped

"Ooh someone got out wrong side of the bed this morning" she teased

I sighed. "She is really starting to annoy me". I tried to get past her but she blocked me again.

"What!" I spat.

"What do you think of roommate?" she sniggered

I sighed again "Mary, I don't think much of her okay so just leave me alone" I said.

"Don't you think she's pretty?" she teased "No I don't" I shouted at her

"Really" she said sarcastically "Then why are you so worked up" she stated.

I gulped. "That's what I thought" she nudged past me and started to walk to her room

"What's that supposed to mean" I shouted at her.

"Well, I can see in your eyes you think she's pretty shaggable" she said to me.

"Don't worry I'll take good care of her" she sniggered. A switch went off in my mind

"If you dare touch one hair on her head" I said as I pushed her into the wall

"Oh I don't intend to touch her head, my interests lay lower than that" she laughed at me

"You fucking bitch" I started slapping her

As I was about to push her to the ground and continue I felt someone pull me away from Mary.

"Leave me… Soph" I whispered

Mary started her act. "Sophie, thank you, thank you so much" she whimpered. As she hugged Sophie, I saw her snigger at me.

Anger started to boil in me. I wanted to punch that grin of her face. As they pulled out of the embrace, Sophie looked at me in disbelief and shook her head.

She looked at Mary than back at me. "Soph, it's not what you think. Whatever she tells you, don't…" I started pleading.

But she didn't hear me out; she took Mary's hand left.

"O god, it's all starting again" I cried.
