CHAPTER 11
LIZ P.O.V
“Hey, so, I was thinking you guys could come over … you know?” Isabel says as we all sit down talking and eating our lunch.
It’s been a week since our last P.E. prac lesson – one week since the accident with Sean.
Since then I have been receiving death glares by Sean and his ‘gang’.
I don’t get it …
I didn’t do anything to the guy … he is the one that bruised my arms.
Which is still bruised, by the way.
“Sure, it sounds like fun,” Ria says as she sips her iced tea.
“Why not?” I add as I smile at Isabel.
“Cool, so this evening at 5.30?” she says all excited and I smile in amusement.
“This evening?” I say in an English accent.
“Yes,” she laughs and we continue to talk and mess around.
I look over to the staff hall, where I see Malibu Stacy walking out with tears in her eyes.
“I’ll be right back,” I state as I walk in her direction and jog to catch up to her.
“Hey,” I say when I reach her.
“Is everything alright?” I ask in a polite voice.
“What do you want? Are you just here to shove it in my face?” she asks angrily as she continues her journey to the ladies bathroom.
“Listen, I was just trying to help … I can go if you want,” I say as I turn around to leave.
She might act like a bitch towards me, but we were best friends at one time.
And if she’s been hurt, I want to know about it so I can help.
Even if she just needs to talk to someone.
You see, her ‘friends’ kicked her out of the ‘group,’ and now she hasn’t really got anyone to lean on.
“Why do you want to help me?” she asks as she walks in to the bathroom and opens to tap to wash her face.
“Because you always used to help me, before we drifted apart,” I say, and she turns to me and looks at me in the eyes.
“It’s that stupid teacher,” she says and I look at her face where I see the red mark.
“What happened?” I ask shocked and worried.
“Mr Dean,” she raises her hand to her face and rubs the red part. “He hit me,” she whispers and I pull her into an embrace.
“What happened?”
“Why would he do that?” I ask and she huffs.
“I have no idea,” she says as she trembles. “He just…”
“Just what?”
“He wanted to go a-all t-he way,” she stutters out and I look up at her.
“Did he?”
“No” she says as the tears start once again.
“That’s why he hit me,” she says and I nod in understanding.
“He said that if I wouldn’t he would go and find someone else that would,” she cries.
“Hey, Stacy I have to tell someone,” I say as I look in her eyes.
“No!” she yells.
“You have to Stacy, someone else could get hurt… he could do this to someone else.” I feel my own tears start.
“I can’t,” she cries.
“I can’t, or he’ll hurt me,” she adds and realisation hits me.
“Your secrets safe with me,” I say as I send her a small smile that she returns.
“So I guess I gotta be nice to you from now on?” she says in a playful voice.
“I dunno, I kinda like telling you off, Malibu Stacy,” I say and we both chuckle as we leave the bathroom.
