"What?" I glanced down in horror at my vest top and shorts and hastily reached for my tatty dressing gown and covered myself. "You didn't have to look!"
"You didn't give me a reason not to!" Smirking he turned around towards the door and walked smack into the bed. Both our heads snapped up to the door when a gentle knock came from the other side.
"Sophie? You okay babes? Can I come in?" Gina. Shit. Having never been in a situation like this before, I stared at Liam in desperation. The ever cocky bastard just grinned, jumped off my bed and swung the door open.
"Hiya Gina!"
The shocked silence seemed to stretch out into eternity when Gina just beckoned with her fingers for us just to follow her and we were led silently down to the office.
"Gina, he just climbed through my window!"
"Oh, thanks for dropping me in it lightly!"
"Well, what else was I meant to say? That I invited you over for a midnight feast and a nightly bitching session?"
"Well, no. But-"
"But nothing," Gina had held up her hand to silence us both. "Liam, you disappear all day, give us no contact and you think it'd be fine to just climb through a window and not tell anyone about it?"
"Well, it would be a nice breakfast surprise!" Rightfully she ignored that.
"Sophie, why didn't you come down and tell me was here?"
"I was about to! After I calmed down from a boy just appearing in my room, I was going to go down, but this idiot here had to wake the house up and prompt you to come and collect him!"
"Ever the articulate angel!" Liam sneered at me, sarcasm dripping from his voice. This was the constant reminder why I hardly ever spoke to him in school. I just scoffed and turned away from him.
"Right both of you to bed; we'll talk more in the morning Liam, when Mike's here."
"Sophie, can I speak to you a moment please?" Mr. Mockings (had had a series mocking from the class!) was the new history teacher. I dreaded to think what would happen as I turned from the door at the end of the lesson and walked over to him. "I must apologise for what I said yesterday. I was ill imformed and put you in a position that I never should have. I'm very sorry."
I was completely gobsmacked. If anything I should have been the one apologising for the way I acted and yet here he was being a human, not a teacher!
"But Sir, surely I reacted a bit irrationally!"
"Angrily, but not irrationally. I do still want some work from you, and you seem a very keen historian," he had that right. I loved history. The reasearch that I'd put into my brother's pocket watch was credit for that. "what's your favourite era?"
"At the moment? I'd have to say the First World war, or the generally Edwardian era to make it broader!"
"Interesting, well how about you do a project on the broader subject, incoroporate what you like and produce it in what ever format. I want to see your capability."
"Okay, thank you Sir." I couldn't wait to start it. I could use the information about the pocket watch in it. I was completely lost in thought and ideas when Mr. Mockings cleared his throught and nodded towards the door saying: "Better run along to your next class, don't want to be late do you?"
A/N
I feel really bad because this is quite short, but without splitting it up into two chapters I couldn't think of a way to link the next part up.
Just wondering, do you think that Liam and Sophie should become friends within the next few chapters or maybe they should continue with their arguments. I don't know. Leave a review because they make me very happy and spur me to write more. And because it's so short, I will try to update tomorrow at an earlier time, but I have to go back to apple because my phone is all messed up and it's just been replaced and it's still not right and it's very very annoying and quite stressful. Argh. I ned more sleep. Stop typing now and go to bed. Right. Review please! :)
