A/N: I just got the sweetest review EVER, you lot make me smile! *CoughCough* Lauren. A little more of Poppy's naughty side and for those who wanted it some Lara...
(Poppy's POV)
Mrs Fry finally turned up and her face was absolutely priceless. She stared at it for a few seconds and then she seemed to get all red and flustered before she came over to me.
"Who did that?" She asked
"Casper the fucking friendly ghost!" I told her sarcastically
She went to the desk at the front and used the phone to call Rachel's office.
"Hi Max its Ruby, I'm in the cooler. You need to see this..." She said simply before putting the phone down.
"Ooooh Maxxxx..." I taunted "Do you fancy Mr Tyler Miss?" I asked
"Don't be absurd!" She scolded
"Are you just his lap dog then? Yes Max, No Max, Three bags full Max" I laughed
"Silence!" Mrs Fry yelled
Mr Tyler came storming in alone and he saw my little piece of art on the line of windows.
"What is that?" He asked
"Spray paint on windows. Duh!" I said, as a matter of fact
"WHY is it there?" He questioned angrily
"Because I put it there under your instruction" I shrugged
"What?" He was getting angrier and angrier and I was enjoying myself
"YOU wanted me to write lines...You never said where...So I wrote you one..."
He slammed his hands down hard on the table and I jumped inside but didn't let it show.
"YOU'VE BEEN BACK 5 MINUTES AND YOU'RE ALREADY CAUSING TROUBLE! I DON'T HAVE TROUBLEMAKERS IN MY SCHOOL!" He screamed
At that point Rachel came in with Lara and I just laughed.
"Its not your school though is it?" I said calmly taunting him "And that's why you're so touchy isn't it? Max."
"Poppy with us now!" Rachel said sternly
I stood up slowly, Mr Tyler's face was just inches from mine and I'd really got under his skin. To be honest I was enjoying it too.
"See you soon...MR Tyler" I said smirking
I walked past Lara and Rachel and out onto the corridor. We passed Amy Porter on the way to Kim's office... She looked at Lara then at me.
"Has she come to take you back to the funny farm where you belong?" Amy taunted
"Listen bitch! Unless you want a black eye or two to go with your smashed up nose, I suggest you keep your gob shut, I know its hard for you" I threw back
"What the hell is that supposed to mean!?" Amy asked
"Enough! The pair of you!" Rachel said sternly "Amy get to the cooler, now!" Then she turned to me "You are in enough trouble as it is..."
"Yay! Luuucky me!" I replied
(Rachel's POV)
Poppy went into Kim's office with Lara. Lara sat at the table in the corner and I looked at Poppy. She stood beside me with her arms folded.
"Take a seat in the corner?" I said
"I'd rather stand"
"Sit down Poppy!" I told her, I let her know in my voice that I was serious
She took a seat at the table in the corner and sat back in her chair looking bored. I sat down as well. I held out my hand.
"Spray paint?" I told her
She went in her bag and pulled out the spray can and placed it on the table.
"Don't you two have jobs to do?" She asked
"Not right now no...We'll be talking about your behaviour later. But right now Lara wants to speak to you" I said
"I haven't seen you in a while..." Lara said
"I don't need to" She mumbled
"Really? Because you don't seem like you're coping very well" Lara told her
"Why do you always do this? You always force me to see you! Maybe I don't need you!" Poppy said, plastering on the hard act
"Its not like your taking all that bad feeling out on someone else..." Lara said sarcastically
"There's no point in talking to you, what's that going to do!? Is it going to bring Em back!? NO!" She shouted
"No, it won't but it'll help you because you need to face up to how you feel...Now its fighting in school, back chatting teachers and jumping out of windows...What happens if you carry on like this?" Lara said
"I can't face it" Poppy mumbled
"Why?"
"Because I can't lose control..."
"Of what?"
"Anything...Am I done yet?" Poppy asked
"No you're not..." I told her "I'm going to go and sort Amy out...I'll speak to you later"
(Lara's POV)
Rachel left the two of us alone and Poppy was fidgeting as if she was uncomfortable sat here with me...
"Rachel mentioned you hurt your wrist?" I asked
"It's nothing..." She defended
"Can I have a look?"
"Why?" She questioned
"Just want to make sure nothing's broken"
"It's fine..." She said avoiding the subject
"Even so" I pushed
Poppy finally relented and rolled up the sleeve from her jumper up and moved the sweatband that was covering her wrist. The bruising was quite bad and it was hard to see her normal skin, there were several small cuts around her wrist and it was different shades of black and purple mixed with yellow.
I took her hand in mine and felt down her arm from her elbow to her wrist, she winced several times when I reached the main bruising.
"Straighten your fingers for me?" I asked
She outstretched her hand barely wincing at all.
"Okay...Clench your fist?"
She clenched her hand into a tight fist.
"Good. Move it round in a circle..." I told her
She moved it to the side but too fast and she gasped.
"Slowly..." I told her
She did it.
"I don't think its broken but that's bruising is quite bad, you shouldn't be hitting anyone with that. How did it happen?" I asked
"I trapped it in a door" She lied
"Come on Poppy? Talk to me?" I said
"I trapped it in the door..." She repeated
I ran my thumb across the back of her hand gently, watching her quietly. I saw fear in her eyes and she sniffed as a tear ran down her cheek.
"On purpose...I trapped in on purpose" She said
"To hurt yourself?" I asked
She nodded. "It helped be cope, Stay in control...Please don't tell Rachel. She's been through enough, she'll just worry and get upset"
"Poppy you know if you are in danger whether that's from someone else or yourself I have to tell your mum..." I tried to explain
She just got more upset and stood up quickly running for the door leaving her school bag and the sweatband behind.
"Poppy wait!" I shouted
But it was two late, I stepped outside the door and all I saw was Poppy running...
