Authors note - Sorry this is short! This is my first go at writing, so forgive me if its rubbish! Thought I'd write a little something and see what people think before I continue. Enjoy and please leave a review :) Ruben
Her heart was pounding in her chest and she felt sick. Where could she go? She couldn't go home. Not yet. Going home would make this all too real.
Her mind wondered back to Keelers office. Every word had felt like another stab in her heart, until she'd gone numb. At one point she thought the walls were going to cave in on her and she had to fight to draw breath back into her lungs. By the time the headteacher was telling her about her expulsion, she thought she was going to pass out.
Leaving the office, she'd walked down the corridors on autopilot. She felt empty, like everything she'd ever felt and known had left her. Thoughts began racing through her mind. Thoughts of her. Remembering how in awe she was of Jen, this free spirited woman with such a passion for art and the world around her. The confidence that oozed from her, the way she carried herself so gracefully. Where had that woman gone? How could she have changed so much?
As the realisation of what Jen had done hit Tilly, she felt the fire in her belly return. All hurt was replaced by a deep burning anger, and she was momentarily shocked at the force of the emotion. Turning on her heels, she began purposefully in the opposite direction, her feet taking her before she really knew where she was headed. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she approached the door to the art room. The anger was now bubbling away inside of her as she walked into the room. Seeing Jen stood across the room, idly marking artwork like nothing had happened made the anger surge through her body with a powerful force. Tilly took a moment to steel herself. She wouldn't shout and rage. She wouldn't scream about how unfair it was. No, she'd calmly let Jen know just how royally she'd fucked up and then leave to work out how she was going to get her revenge.
