The Skater Girls

Liar

Girl above stars as Michelle.

Jordan's P.O.V

I jumped up onto my bed feeling relieved that my mum didn't bother to ask me questions about today's happenings.

When the police came into the skatepark I left Michelle on the floor and sprinted to the bathroom so that they wouldn't find me straight away.
Then when I thought the time was right, I washed myself up and walked out of the bathroom casually.

A few police officers questioned me near the entrance saying, "Do you know who did this to her?"
When they pointed at Michelle's body on the floor I nearly made myself throw up, just staring at the blood made me sick.

But I shook my head nonchalantly and replied, "no sorry officer, I was at the back of the crowd so I didn't get to see."

Out of the corner of my eye I could see Michelle glaring at me, knowing that I wasn't telling the truth. I was scared she was going to say something to get me in trouble.

No you idiot, remember? You busted up her lip so she can't even open her mouth. Nice one!

I shook off my guilty conscience and smiled innocently at the officers in front of me.
Just as I was about to walk away and leave, another police officer walked in front of the others and looked at me suspiciously.

"Hey your mother is Andrea right?" He said loudly.

"Yeah, she is, how do you know?" I asked trying to walk away.

"She used to go to my college back in the day," he looked over at Michelle and then back to me. "Do you know who did this?"

I felt my stomach clench in fear but firmed it and spoke gently. "No officer I don't." They all just stared at me and went silent.

I gulped and quickly added; "but I promise to tell you any new information I find so it can be used as evidence."
Then the police officers smiled and nodded, telling me that I could go.

I walked as fast as I could out of that stupid motherfucking skatepark, walking extra fast as soon as I got close to Michelle. She groaned which made me turn towards her, but I couldn't look at her face for no longer than 3 seconds... I'd ruined her.

I kept on thinking about what would happen if one of them videos went viral. I'd be arrested because I'd beaten her to the verge of death, and I lied to the cops when they asked me.

I was in deep shit...

And now I was just sitting on my bed thinking. Thinking that if I hadn't met Dean and travelled down to the skatepark none of this would've happened. If Josh met me on time in the broadway none of this would've happened. If them two stupid skater girls hadn't made them all chase them down to the that motherfucking skatepark, none of this would've happened.

So techniqually, this wasn't actually my fault. I wasn't a liar. They made me do it. Michelle, Danielle, Hazel, Dean and Josh made me do it. They directed me towards the skatepark. It was their fault and not mine...

You know that's not true.

"YES IT FUCKING IS!" I yelled throwing my pink pillow across my large room.

I clamped my mouth shut, realising that I wasn't actually talking to anyone but myself. If Michelle was here she would have told me that talking to yourself was the first sign to madness.

Was I turning mad?

"Honey, are you alright? I heard you yelling." My mum knocked gently on my bedroom door waiting for me to answer her.
