In the lily valley....

Kerrie's rage

*CHARACTERS WILL OCCASIONALLY SWEAR*

Janelles POV

Break passed in a blur. The only thing of note that happened was this boy, the one Kerrie's dating, Dan Gonia, came up and introduced himself. But like, it was really weird. He seemed jittery and nervous, like he was afraid of me. He also asked me to go to get ice cream with him, which I of course declined. I mean, the dude's dating someone already, plus seems to like me, and I'd rather not because...well... I'll not explain now but basically I can't.

The thing that was so funny about that was that Kerrie was standing behind him. In fact, I think she had been there the whole time, because she was PISSED. Like, she looked like she was about to explode with rage. The thing is, I don't know who she was more mad at, me or Dan.

First day at the damn school and I already have an enemy. Shite.

Kerrie's POV

When I saw Dan start to flirt with her, I knew this had gone far out of my control. I may be, on the inside, doubting my feelings for Dan, to the rest of the school, he's my man and I gotta fight for him.

In all seriousness, I was actually jealous of Dan. Who could blame me? This new girl -I think her name is Janelle? (Oh who am I kidding, I can't casualy pretend not to know her name, not in a way that's convincing)- is drop-dead gorgeous. She is shaped in a comforting way that makes me want to just squeeze her to see if she's squishy, and her hair looks copper and her ocean eyes are deep enough for anyone to get lost in. I-I really feel a spark when I look into them.

The 'warning bell' (what we call the bell that rings two minutes before class) had just started singing as I grabbed Dan by the wrist and dragged him away.
"So, playing rugby with Sam and Al, huh?" I asked, with venom practically oozing from my voice as I violently shove him against the wall next to the health class.
"Listen baby I can explain -" Dan started, making me more mad.
"No, YOU listen to ME! I wouldn't have minded if you'd have just told me, or if we went together, but you lied to me?! I thought you loved me more than that. I heard everything, by the way. Ice cream? With her? No, you just want to break up with me. I hate you! You are the most idiotic bastard I have ever had the misfortune of dating! God damnit, why do you do this to me Dan? Why do you make me the bad guy? Why do you make me question us?" I said, sobbing and my voice getting softer as I went. I felt him stand up.
"Jesus Kerrie, not everything is about you. Believe it or not, other people have feelings." He said, bitterly spitting every word.
"W-what?" I said, confused why he was angry.
"It's always about poor little you, isn't it? Poor Kerrie, with her dead mum and dad who doesn't stay with a wife for more than six months. Poor Kerrie, who, despite her upbringing, has great grades. The most desirable boyfriend. Well, when did anyone ever think about me in this relationship? Me, who had to deal with your temper tantrums. Me, who had to watch you achieve every thing while I struggle to get consistent grades? No. No one ever did. Least off all the person I needed most. You. You are the reason for my pain and yet I used to love you more than I thought possible. You were my first thought waking up and my last thought going to sleep. You were my sun, my moon, my stars. My galaxy. But to you, I was nothing more than a single, unimportant planet revolving around you. Well I'm done. Out of your orbit. Kerrie Denway, consider yourself -" Dan spat angrily.
"No, Dan , please-"
"Consider yourself dumped. Goodbye, Dumbway." He said, before grabbing his stuff from his backpack and walking into health class, leaving me on the floor with my destiny; to always be completely alone.

Dan's POV

Ok, so I kinda lost it with Kerrie back there, but she's a bitch and she needed to know it. I can't believe she blames it all on me! Yes, it did look like I was trying to replace her (which I kinda was) and I was a bit of an arse lying to her, but then she pulls out the 'why am I always made the villain ' card and that was probably when I completely lost control and let rage take the helm for a bit. She's a spoilt brat and is an absolute arse about flaunting that around and pretending to be the innocent victim. Trust me, I know how she works. I just can't handle her anymore.

It did feel like an immense weight was lifted of my shoulders as I walked into class, resisting the temptation to wear the great big grin I was grinning on the inside.
"Ah, Mr Gonia, take a seat. Do you know where Miss Denway is?" The 22 year old health teacher asked as I took my normal seat next to Al (and also in the process noticed that Janelle was sitting directly in front of me, which heightened my odds of getting to know her.)
"Hmmm Denway? Outside, Miss Clark." I replied absent mindedly.
"Dude, since when was Kerrie 'Denway?'" Al asked in a hushed tone as Miss Clark left the room to talk to Kerrie.
"Since she was no longer my girlfriend." I said, calm and grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"What? Dude, what happened?" Al asked, confused.
" I'll tell you later." I whispered back as both Kerrie and Miss Clark entered the room, Kerrie with mascara running the full length down her face.
"Right class, today we're doing an exercise to get to know our newest class member, Janelle Roberts. Janelle, would you like to come up to the stage?" Miss Clark asked gently as Janelle flushed as red as her hair.
"Now everyone, we're all going to go around the room and everyone will ask Janelle a sensible question. Are you ready, Janelle?"
Janelle discreetly nodded.
"Charlotte Smith!"
"What's your favourite song?" Lottie asked, even though she apparently already knew the answer.
Janelle smiled and simply said, " My favourite song is called Bubblegum Bitch, and it's by Marina." But, for some reason, Lottie looked confused.
"Sorry to interrupt class, but Janelle, would you like to sing us some of the  song?" Miss Clark asked.
"Sure," Janelle said as she took a deep breath and started singing in the most beautiful voice I'd ever heard;
"Got a figure like a pin-up, got a figure like a doll,
Don't care if you think I'm dumb, I don't care at all,
Candy bear, sweety pie, wanna be adored,
I'm the girl you'd die for.
I'll chew you up and
I'll spit you out
'Cos that's what young love
Is all about.
So pull me closer
And kiss me hard
I'm gonna pop your bubblegum heart.
I'm Miss sugar-pink liquor-liquor lips,
Kill me with your sweet love
Steal me with a kiss.
I'm Miss sugar-pink liquor-liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch!
Queentex, latex,
I'm your wonder maid,
Life gave me some lemons so I made some lemonade
Soda pop, soda pop, baby here I come,
Straight to number 1,
Dear diary, I met a boy,
He made my doll heart,
Light up with joy.
Dear diary, we fell apart,
Welcome to the life of Electra Heart
I'm Miss sugar-pink liquor-liquor lips
Kill me with your sweet love steal me with a kiss.
I'm Miss sugar-pink liquor-liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch.
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch!
You know I want your, your American tan,
Oh oh oh,
I know you're gonna be, my biggest fan,
Oh oh oh,
I'm Miss sugar-pink liquor-liquor lips
Steal me with your sweet love steal me with a kiss.
I'm Miss sugar-pink liquor-liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch.
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch!" Janelle finished, panting, looking like she'd just emerged from another world, and suddenly, my hands moved almost on their own. Soon the clapping was unstoppable as Janelle just stood there, blushing hard.
I couldn't take my eyes off this beautiful girl.
Although, I'm not happy in the long run, because if my eyes weren't glued to her, I would have noticed Kerrie, in the corner, with longing in her eyes and written all over her face.
