I turned up to school the next day feeling both happy and nervous, Bolton and Paul were going away for 2 nights with Mr Lawson and Mr Budgin, good thing was I could take Bolton's games, and bad thing was, I had to walk to school on my tod, or I could ask the girls to walk with me, the boys were all on the front steps messing around while Mr Lawson got the van ready, I walked over and some of the boys whistled "Shut it that's my sister" Bolton said, they all shut up and I smiled "Oh Bolton stop it" I said playfully, he rolled his eyes

"When I'm not around it's okay, when I'm around, they shouldn't even try it" he said sending the boys a quick glare "Now don't miss me too much" he said smirking, I chuckled "Bolton, your gone for two nights, and in that short period of time, I'm going to play on all the games, and beat your high scores, I'm gonna flirt with as many boys as possible, and I just might let Sparks up on your bed" I said, his eyes widened, Sparks was my pet snake and Bolton was terrified of him

"Don't you dare" he said, I shook my head "Nah I ain't that mean, you know I would never flirt with a load of boys, takes too much time and energy that I don't have" I said, the boys laughed, Mr Lawson told them to get their stuff in the van and they did, I heard Budgin moan about Bolton being on the trip and I didn't blame him "I'm telling you I wouldn't take Bolton Smilie to the corner shop let alone the great outdoors" he said, I snickered "Oi you forgot these"

I turned to see mum walking over with Bolton's underwear, I stood next to her and laughed "How long d'you think I'm stoppin for?" he asked "A couple a days" she replied, he sighed and opened the bag "And what? You weren't gonna change your knickers in all that time eh? Yah dirty sod" mum said hitting him lightly on the shoulder before walking away "What were you gonna do Smilie? Turn em inside out?" Budgin asked, the boys all 'Oood'

"Or were you gonna go commando?" he added, we all laughed "Shut up man" Bolton snapped "Better check on you tomorrow morning, make sure you got clean on" Budgin said "Yeah you'd like that wouldn't you. Pervert" Bolton retorted making the boys all 'Oooh' again "C'mon some round the back and some on the side" Lawson said, the boys got in and Paul turned to me "So uh, you gonna miss me?" he asked smirking cockily, I tilted my head "Maybe"

I said playfully, he pulled something out of his bag and handed it to me "This is my favorite shirt, I want you to keep it safe for me, and since you're gonna miss me so much it might 'elp" he said, I held it close to my chest and nodded "Course I'll take care of it" I said pulling him into a hug, I heard the boys making noises and whistling from the van, we both pulled away and I rolled my eyes

"Take care of the git for me" I said motioning to Bolton, he nodded and got onto the van, I put the shirt into my bag before going into the school.

I spotted Clo and walked up to her "Hey, how you doin?" I asked, she nodded "I'm good, glad to be back actually" she said surprised, I smiled "Yeah this place grows on you" I said 'Is it true your brothers gone away with the boys for a few days?" she asked, I nodded "Yeah, thank god, only thing I'm gonna miss is the walks to school" I admitted shrugging "Well, if you want, I could walk to school with yah"

she offered "Really?" I asked hopefully, she nodded "Mhm, Tom's gone on the nature thing anyways, you can walk with me and Mika" she said, I nodded "That'd be great thanks" I said, I noticed Donte coming down and he gave me a look "I should get to class, I'll see yah later" I said walking down the hall, he nodded as a thanks and I gave him a small smile before carrying on.

It was lunch time and I was unfortunatly sat on my own, with the boys gone I didn't really have anyone, Janeece eventually came in and sat opposite me "Heya KC" she said picking up her fork "Hey Jan, hows it goin?" I asked boredly "Aright I guess, you look lost" she said amused, I gave her a confused look "It's like without the boys your bored as hell" she exclaimed, I smiled "Yeah well, I miss em already" I said shrugging "Oh don't worry about it, you and I can 'ace some fun, go shoppin n that"

she said excitedly, I chuckled and ate my food "Oi, do you reckon we should go sit by Clo?" Janeece asked looking to my left, I looked that way to see Clo sat on her own "I didn't even see her come in, yeah let's go" I said picking up my tray, we both walked over and sat down "You aright?" Janeece asked her "What d'you reckon, wish I never met either of em" she replied, I knew she was talking about Donte and Brett "You do know Donte was lookin for you don't yah?"

Janeece asked, Clo shook her head "Searching the streets every night, even after what you did to him" she said, Clo stared into space and I knew she was thinking over everything.

Later on after school mum was giving me a lift home instead of me walking, I got outside and found the boys were back early, Bolton noticed me and smirked "Oh god what did you do?" I groaned, he shrugged "Nothin, just got us back 'ome early, so no games for you" he said shaking a finger, I rolled my eyes and walked over to Paul "Hiya Kace" he said hugging me, I hugged back before pulling away "I suppose you want your shirt back, now that your 'ome early"

I said, he thought for a moment "Yah know what? You keep it, never fitted me that good anyways" he said shrugging, I bit my lip shyly "Thanks" I said, he winked and Bolton dragged me away with mum "No flirtin with Langers" he said, I pushed him away "I wasn't flirtin" I said getting in the car "Of course you weren't" mum said sarcastically, Bolton laughed "What is this two against one? That's 'ardly fair" I exclaimed "Sorry but we know when someone's flirting, it runs in the family love" Mum said, I pouted and looked out the window as we took off.
