birthday part two

Hello everypony!

How it going? How's your day been?
Any stupid idiots that need a talking to?
Just say the word!
Jk! (Kinda)

Hope you enjoy the chapter!

Ally's pov

All we had done was use some face masks.

Oh, and talk about boys.

Why? Why had those things been the only options so far? It kinda seemed like the friends that Molly called fake were calling the shots.

At the moment, though, we were eating lunch, which was just some Domino's pizza we had decided to order last minute.

The girl I had learnt to call Heather had suggested we use the hot tub, and no one had any complaints about that, but I did go bright red.

I do hope it wasn't noticed...

I saw Kate whisper something into Heather's ear, and then they both stared at me, looking shocked, but laughing. I shriveled under their gaze. No one else noticed.

Soon, after lunch, we all took it in turns to occupy the bathroom to change.

Oh god, this was going to be difficult.

'breathe, Ally, it will be fine, your just going in a hot tub with your friends' I thought to myself. It wasn't a big deal.

Was it?
______________________________

"Truth or dare, Kate."

The tub was full of us. I had purposefully picked the placing opposite Molly, but then there was some moving around, so now I sat next to her.

Were we even supposed to go in a hot tub? We were below the age that it says on the ones in the swimming pools. Molly said it was fine, though, so I'll just blame her if something goes wrong.

"Hmmm, dare" Kate chose bravely.

Conversation commenced. They were between looking at her recent photos or her search history.

Soon, search history won the vote.

Someone stood up and left to retrieve Kate's phone, and returned after five minutes.

"Right, let's have a look!" Heather exclaimed, and everyone gathered round excitedly.

I didn't remember what was there, I didn't bother to remember. I don't remember anyone elses turn, either.

Apart from Molly's and mine.

"Truth" Molly said simply.

"Oooooh! Okay! I have one!" Kate smiled "is there anyone here you wish was a boy?".

Molly laughed. "No way!" She giggled "oh my gosh no!".

We all laughed as well. Mine was a fake laugh, but don't tell.

"Okay, now Ally! Truth or dare?".

Dilemma time.

Truth wasn't going to happen, I don't know what they could ask me.

Dare wasn't an option either, there had been some pretty wild ones.

Oh gosh, they were looking at me. Oh no, um, what did Molly do? She did truth. Okay, just say truth, like a normal human being.

"Uhm... I think truth?" I mumbled.

Kate clapped her hands.

"Great! Okay, so, tell me Ally, I hear your autistic, is this true?".

I wish I could slap that stupid, smug grin off her face.

I mean, um, violence is not the answer.

For today...

I just sat there, thinking of what to say.

Well, yes I was, but would they bully me about it?

"Um, yeah" I replied.

"I KNEW IT!" Heather shrieked and the whole tub started spouting questions.

'what is it like?' 'whats that weird thing you do with your arms?' 'why are you autistic?' 'does that mean you don't get sarcasm?' 'is that why your so weird?'

I looked over at Molly for help. She and sky were just sitting there, not saying anything.

I started to breathe funny.

"Um, I need to go a sec..." I muttered, stepping out of the pool and walking swiftly to the bathroom and locking the door.

I sat down on the floor, shivering.

My breathing started to even out as I replayed the scene out in my head.

Everything had been to much, but what stung most was how Molly just sat there, didn't say anything to help me.

There was a knock on the door.

"Hello?" I sniffed.

"Hi, Ally, are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?".
Molly's mum.

"Um, no thank you. Um, can I get my mum to come pick me up please?" I asked. She answered yes and I called my mum,telling her I didn't want to talk about it, that I had just got overwhelmed. but I felt betrayed.

Was I just overreacting?

Maybe.

I decided to get up and out of the bathroom after a while, and before I turned a corner, I  heard three people. Molly, Kate and a girl called Jemima.

"She was so looking for attention, I don't know why your friends with her! She's just a little autistic kid.' I heard Kate say.

I held back tears. Breathe.

One,
Two,
Thre-

"Ha yeah, um, well, I just kind of felt sorry for her I guess" I heard Molly chuckle.

I'm sorry to say a tear or two may have escaped at that.

But I couldn't let them feel smug about saying that. I turned the corner and walked through them, making it plainly obvious I had heard all they had said.

"I guess I'll see you around." I mumbled, and walked off.

Oh my god.

If Molly didn't want to be around me, she didn't have to! Why would she say that?

I guess I shouldn't have made that friend.

One of the first people I had befriended in ages just didn't like me.

Wow, that hurt.

But at least I had Bethany.

I saw my mum's car pull up and ran inside, my towel I had shoved on over my swimming costume flapping around my legs.

"How was it?" She asked cautiously, seeing I was upset.

I shook my head and curled up into a ball.

All I wanted to do when I got home was have a warm shower and write more of the story I was in the middle of.

Writing was my grounding.

My phone buzzed continuously, but I refused to pick up to Molly. So all I did was write my fantasy and ignore the rest of the world.

Because, things are always so much more simpler in books.

Ello you lot! Dramatic, isn't it? What do you think is going to happen?
