I walked into the school with Paul and Bolton only to see another couple kissing "Alright, no lie now, if I see one more couple kissing, I am going to go nuts" I said annoyed "Awrr, is little KC sad she ain't got a boyfriend" Bolton sung teasingly, I glared at him "You know that's big talk coming from the guys who ain't even got a girlfriend" I retorted, his smiled faded and Paul laughed "You just got owned by your little sister" he said through laughter "Shut up man" Bolton said angrily, I rolled my eyes "Don't worry Bolt, you'll probably find an easy slapper soon enough"

I said, he nodded before realizing what I said "Seriously KC, I will hurt you" he said glaring, I rolled my eyes again "Nah you won't, mum would kill you" I said, he pouted knowing I was right "Oh it's not your day is it" Paul said to my brother in mock sympathy, I laughed and walked down the hall.

Later on I was with Aleesha and Danielle, they planned on sneaking into the music room for some reason "What's goin on?" I asked curiously "Earlier on Ben hit his head, Miss Hadock took him to the 'ospital and we haven't hear from him since, and Mr Wildings gone too" Leesh said, my eyes widened "Oh my god" I gasped, she nodded and we quietly walked into the class, Danielle went into the closet where Mr Wilding kept his files and computer "C'mon there's nothing in 'ere, your gonna get us in trouble" Leesh said nervously, Danielle sat at the computer "He left it on" Danielle replied "Ben's our friend Aleesha, we've got a right to know"

she said, everyone knew Danielle and Ben had something going, so it didn't surprise me that she was truly worried "What's, Post Exposure Prophylaxis?" she asked us, I gave her a confused shrug, she clicked on something and another screen popped up "HIV?" Leesh read out from the screen "That can't be it" she said, Danielle slowly turned to us "We've never seen Hadock run anywhere" she said "So?" I said "She went all funny when I told her about Ben" she said before turning back to the screen, both me and Aleesha exchanged nervous looks.

I was having lunch with the girls when Ben walked in, Bolton slammed down his tray, they started exchanging words and it didn't look too good "What's going on?" Danielle asked, I shrugged and turned back to them, Bolton shoved past Ben and I turned to Aleesha "You've said somethin' 'aven't yah" Danielle said to her, Leesha looked nervous "I've only told a few people" she admitted, Danielle sighed angrily and dropped her fork on the tray "Wait" Leesh said as Danielle went to move "Cuz people are sayin things. Like you've got it too"

she said, Danielle looked confused "Well, you did snog him" Leesh said in defense, I sighed in annoyance, and we all watched Louis abuse Ben, he turned and saw everyone watching him with disgusted looks, he sat on a table by his own and I felt really sorry for him, it wasn't his fault really, Karla sat next to him and I looked at the 2 girls "You know what? I won't let him go through this, no one can catch it unless their reckless" I said picking up my tray, I carried it over to them and sat opposite him "Hi Ben" I said, he gave me a small nod,

Karla said something about peas and I saw water run down Ben's head "What did you do that for?" he asked looking up, I looked too and found it was Bolton "Your dirty Mcnulty, reckon you need a wash" he said, Ben stood up with his bag and pushed Bolton away "Get your infected little hands off me" he snapped, Ben walked out and Bolton turned to me "You stay away from him KC" he said, I glared and stood up with my bag "Like hell I will" I said running out of the cafeteria,

Danielle followed "Ben!" she shouted trying to get his attention, he ignored her and ran out, tears fell down her cheeks and Miss Hadock noticed "What the hells going on?" she asked us, I shook my head and turned to Danielle "Miss Koreshi can you deal with Danielle for a minute?" she asked, Miss Koreshi came over and Miss Hadock left "What's wrong with you?" she asked Danielle "It's all our fault" Danielle said "What is?" Miss aske "It was Aleesha see, she got me scared" Danielle said "Scared about what?" Miss asked confused "She said that I might have it too"

Danielle said "C'mon, let's talk about this somewhere else" Miss said leading Danielle away, I looked through the window and saw Miss Hadock with Ben at the front gate, I walked up to them "Ben, you alright?" I asked hugging him, he nodded and I pulled away "Just to let yah know, I don't care at all" I said, he smiled "Thanks Kace" he said gratefully "Why don't we call you're mum eh? Let's sort this out together, c'mon" Miss said holding out her hand, Ben glanced at it "Holding hands with a teacher, do you want me to get me 'ead kicked in or what?"

he asked, I chuckled "C'mon Mcnulty" I said nodding my head towards the school and holding out my hand "You sure you wanna hold hands with me KC?" he asked, I nodded "Yeah, if anyone says somethin to me I'll kick their 'eads in for sure" I said amused, he chuckled and took my hand letting me and Miss Hadock take him back into the school.

I waited with Ben until his mum came, then I decided I should leave "Ben, I'm gonna get back now, you gonna be aright?" I asked worriedly, he nodded and I hugged him briefly "Thanks for being a great friend Kace" he said, I nodded and left the pastoral care room. At the end of the day I walked out of the building with Danielle, Leesha was at choir practice "Ben!" Dan said once she saw him, he turned to us "Are we still on for Saturday?"

she asked hopefully, he smiled and nodded, she smiled aswell and we walked to the gates "Todays been very dramatic 'asn't it?" I asked her, she giggled "Yeah, I don't care what people say about him, they don't know anything" she said proudly, I nodded and linked my arm with her own "I'm glad, I feel the same, but I pretty much wanna kill Bolton" I said angry with the stunt he pulled at lunch "I would be too, speak of the devil" she said, I looked in her line of vision to see my older brother leaning against the gates while glaring at us "I'll speak to yah tomorrow yeah?" I asked, she nodded and I walked over to Bolton "What's with the death glare?"

I asked even though I knew what it was "Earlier at lunch, you came back into the school, holding hands with Mcnulty" he said holding in his anger, I nodded "Yeah, and I don't care one bit" I said walking away "You could catch it" he said walked alongside me "Yeah, if I shag 'im, which I won't, sides, he goes out with Danielle anyway, and I don't fancy 'im, he's only a friend" I said shaking my head, Bolton nodded and stayed silent for the rest of the way home.
