Truth (Chim)

Chapter 25

Katie's POV

It had been a few days since we had been shopping for things for my room and when the girls had come over, and since then Cheryl and Kim had been acting differently. They had just dropped me off at school and even though they tried to pretend everything was ok, I could tell something wasn't right.

They would be fine until the phone ran and then they would go all jumpy but then not long later everything seemed to be ok again. I walked downstairs the morning after we had been shopping to find Kim on the phone to someone in the kitchen with Cheryl listening in but as soon as they saw me Cheryl practically pushed me into the living room to watch tv with her.

Part of me couldn't help but wonder whether I had done something wrong, maybe they wanted to send me back to Megan and John? And that's why they have been so weird with me because they didn't know how to tell me. I decided not to think about it too much because I've been told before that I tend to over think things and I walked into form.

There was only a few people that weren't there but from judging by the noise behind me they were gonna be here soon. I make my way to my seat at the back of my form room where Tillie is already sat there talking to Callum who is sat on the table in front of ours. On the way I can't help but look at Rachel, Jess and Sophie as I walk past them and I notice them gossiping about something, well what else is new?

As I reach my seat and say hi to Tillie and Callum, to which they both return and Miss Sheppard walks into form and takes the register. She starts talking about revision, at least I think she was, I wasn't really listening, it's probably the same speech she gives every day. She says it's something she has to keep reminding us and you can tell by the tone in her voice she hates saying the same speech over and over again as much as we hate listening to it.

After pretending to listen to her talk for 5 minutes she finally finished and I was able to turn to talk to Tillie and ask her what I and been dying to ask her since last night, I just thought it would be easier talking in person beaches I might get more details.

"So tell me about your date then."

"Wasn't really a date, just two friends hanging out."

I raised my eyebrows at her and she laughed in response. "Katie, not that kind of friends."

"Alright, alright. What did you do?"

"We went to the cinema..."

I cut her off before she could finish. "Please tell me you didn't sit on the back row."

"Well..."

"Matilda!"

"Hey! Don't full name me!"

"I think we all know what happens on the back row at the..." I wasn't able to finish my sentence when my name was called from the front of class.

"Katie." I looked up to the front of the classroom to find everyone in my form eye's on me including Miss Sheppard and Mrs Pickles, I realised it would have been Mrs Pickles that said my name. I found this pretty weird because according to Tillie, even though she is the head teacher, she hardly ever comes into forms.

"Something's been dropped off for you." It was only now I noticed that she had a bouquet of flowers in her hands. I was quite confused at this, I've never been given flowers before. Oh god, they better not be from Cheryl or Kim, I know they mean well, but that would be embarrassing. Mrs Pickles and Miss Sheppard started making their way to me and the whole of the classes eye's followed them, meaning by the time they got to me everybody was again looking at me again.

As they were making their way over I glanced at Tillie and Callum to find them looking as confused as me. I heard a few whispers around the classroom but I tried to ignore them. I defiantly heard Rachel's voice though, I'm not completely sure what she said but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that nice.
