Verity's POV
"Please meet me I need someone to talk to" that's what the text said. This guy is seriously interested, I don't fancy him though really I don't. We kissed yes but I was pretty tipsy, it didn't mean anything. Im cool with just being a friend to him, he obviously needs that now. I shrugged on my jacket and slipped on my doc martens, "dad im going out" I said stopping in the doorway of the front room. Sauli was asleep on his lap, "ok honey but don't be home late" he said. "I wont dad i'll be an hour tops" I replied as I headed to the park.
I spotted him walking towards me after I had arrived a few minutes later, "hey" I said. "Hey" he replied, "whats up?" I asked. "My girlfriend thinks im sleeping around, she kicked me out" he said. "Oh crap dude that sucks" I said embracing him, "I don't know why she would think that. I love her too much to hurt her" he replied breaking down in my arms.
"Look if that's what she thinks then shes obviously not right, have you not told her you've been arranging things for her birthday" I asked. He shook his head, "no its meant to be a surprise but she smelt the perfume and freaked out" he answered. "Look the way I see it is she obviously thinks youre up to no good, if you cant tell her about your plans then don't. But she obviously needs some kind of reassurance that youre hers" I told him as he wiped his face on his sleeve.
"Like what?" he asked, "I don't know like something that shows her you wont stray" I mused. "I have the best idea, something like a promise ring?" he asked. "Yeah that could work" I replied, "come help me pick one?" he suggested. "I don't know I mean I need to get home and its not my place" I said. "Oh please" he said giving me puppy dog eyes, "urgh fine" I said as we stood up and headed to the shops.
A few hours later I turned my key in the lock and pushed the door open. "Im sorry im late" I shouted, I got no answer. I walked into the front room and saw Sauli and my dad curled up on the sofa fast asleep. I draped a blanket over them both and headed to bed.
The next day...
I was sitting in the canteen minding my own business, magenta was sitting with me as her eyes were drawn behind me. "What?" I asked turning round, Scarlet was glaring at me from the canteen door. She looked proper pissed off, "just ignore her" I said going back to my food.
"Don't ignore me you slut!" she shouted as I stood up, "are you talking to me?" I asked. "Yeah im talking to you, you dirty little tramp you slept with my boyfriend!" she shouted as everyone in the canteen fell silent. "No I didn't" I replied crossing my arms, "don't lie to me" she said walking towards me.
"Im actually not" I answered keeping my cool, I watched as she ran towards me and pushed me over. My back hit the hard flooring as I pushed her off me, "youre a fucking liar Im going to kill you!" she said grabbing my hair and pulling it. I pushed her backwards as chairs clattered to the floor, "you know nothing about what I do!" I yelled grabbing her top.
"I know youre a slut and your dad would rather fuck some guy than spend time with you" she hissed. I saw rad and punched her square in the nose, "don't you dare say that to me!" I shouted. She hit me in the face as blood trickled from my lip, she kept hitting me as I scratched at her face. "Youre a fucking whore verity lambert I fucking hate you!" she yelled as I wiped my lip and glared at her. "I might be a whore but at least my parents wanted me" I hissed.
She flew at me knocking me into the corner of a table and hitting me, I hit her back as blood trickled from her nose. "My dad wants me!" she hissed as I pinned her to the floor. "Yeah but mummy doesn't youre boyfriend is better off out of your fucking messed up life!" I said as she grabbed my necklace and pulled.
The chain snapped as it fell to the floor, I grabbed her hair and smacked her head against the floor. She shoved me off and scratched my face with her fake nails as she hit me in ribs hard a few times and I winced in pain. The kids in the canteen yelled fight over and over again. She went to hit me again as she was grabbed by a teacher, I was grabbed by another as they pulled us apart.
"Enough!" they shouted dragging us out of the canteen, "get off me" I said wriggling in their grip. "What so you can go and hit each other again I don't think so" she said. "Im not going to hit her im going to kill her now let me go!" I screamed. She tightened her grip as she marched me up the hall, we were taken into the pricipals office.
"Sit down" she told me as I sat down, scarlet was brought in next as she pulled trying to get to me. "Sit down!" the principal said as she did as she was told, "this kind of behaviour is unacceptable!" the principal said. "She started it, I was quite happily just minding my own until she decided to hit me" I said.
"Bullshit, youre the slut who slept with me fucking boyfriend!" she yelled, "I told you I didn't sleep with him!" I shouted wiping my lip with my sleeve. "They are on their way" the secretary said as the principal nodded. "Wait whos on their way?" scarlet asked, "our parents obviously dip shit" I said. "No why did you call my parents shes the one who was in the wrong!" scarlet said.
"Excuse me you hit me first" I corrected, "yeah and im about to hit you again!" she said. ""Don't you even dare" the head teacher said as scarlet sighed and crossed her arms. I heard voices as I sighed, great my dads here.
