Middleton Private Academy

(If only my school actually looked like this but oh well, ig I'll keep dreaming 🥲)

Katy walked into her form, the usual light aura of students talking filling her void of emptiness.

"Wow! Love your outfit today girl!" Matilda, Katy's best friend since they were in nappies complimented with a hug.

"Thanks, even though I'm only wearing my usual hoodie and leggings. " Katy smiled, giving a small twirl. "But you always slay more."

"Yeah, I know I do, but anyways are you coming to my party tonight." She said, not really paying attention to the compliment she gave back, which made Katy twitch a slight bit. "It's a celebration for both the rugby and cheerleading team."

"Uh, I dunno. . ."

"You don't know? But you're head captain in rugby and head in cheerleading. How am I gonna look like with one missing leader? You have to be there!"

"Yeah but I'm just a bit tired recently and I can't leave Chloe on her own to look after Thomas and the others."

"What about Lily?"

"She's got a shift in her restaurant?"

"..."

"You don't remember? I told you this morning on text."

"...Yeah sure, but can you go?"

"For the last time! I-"

"Hey babe." Harry interrupts Matilda and Katy's convo and wraps his arms around Katy's shoulder. "Not to interrupt Matilda but I think me and Katy need to...speak about some...buisness..."

Before Matilda could say anything, the 2 run off, leaving her stunned.

"Thank you." Katy whispered, opening the door to the hallway.

"Anytime milady." Harry teased, making the 2 laugh before running off.

"Jack, give me my chocolate bar back!" Chloe yelled at her best friend before he finally gave it back.

"Fine." He threw it at her to catch it. "But at least tell me what cold you're suffering from, you look sick out of your wit's."

"I'm fine Jack. Promise." She said, rolling her eyes as she opened the wrapper and took a bite out of creamy texture. She cut half of it and handed it to him, making him even more concerned.

"Thought I even told you to stop eating too much chocolate anyways. You're lactose intolerant and if you eat too much you're gonna have...um...a messy situation...again..."

"Katy eats all the chocolate in the house and she has lectouse intilerar- or whatever worse than me, and she turns out just fine."

"Well that's Katy. You know the girl can't stop eating, plus you should be setting an example since you're the older twin."

"Yeah. Older by 53 minutes. It's not like it's a whole ass year or something."

"Just sayin'."

As the bell rang, signaling that it was the end of form time, Chloe finished the wrapper of the galaxy bar she ate and threw it at Jack's face, making him groan in annoyance.

"Throw that away on your way out, and I'll see you at break." She hugged him before picking her backpack and leaving.

"Why am I even mates with that dork?" Jack chuckled to himself.

Sophia stormed into the girls bathroom with her student council notebook in her arm halfway through 2nd period that day to see Jasmine and Nikisha smoking pink lemonade and blue razz elfbars on the sink.

"First of all ladies, you were meant to be in form but you were late. 2nd, my 2 best mates and co assistants Lydia and Isabella saw you sneaking in through the restricted gates during first period. 3rd of all, you don't have an actual school pass to be here during lessons and 4th of all, you're drawing on bathroom walls whilst vaping not 1 but 2 elfbars?! REALLY?!" Sophia yelled, absolutely pissed off at the 2 troublemakers. Again. As always.

"For fucks sake, Sophia." Nikisha moaned, a bunch of ghosted steam coming out of her mouth in the process. "Aren't you bored of always being the star student of this school. Like you literally snitch on people just to get yourself more praise points. Rest bro."

"Don't 'bro' me." Sophia starts to feel a sense of rage. "It's not my fault you're bare cocky and can't take care of yourself properly you fucking scruff."

The 2 of them freeze, whilst Sophia's face turned blue as she clasps her hands over her mouth in realisation.

"Oh dear." Jasmine laughed, jumping of the sink. "Did we just witness perfect miss Sophia McLaughlin call you a 'fucking scruff'. Sweetie, one word to Mrs Kellett and you are done for."

"No, no please." Sophia goes into a sense of panic. "Don't say anything. I didn't mean to call you a fucking scruff, I promise. I'm just little worked up about things, you know. I had a weird dream last night where I was stood staring at this weird light thing and I was-"

"-Dragged towards it..." Jasmine suddenly looked serious as she finished the sentence off.

Sophia's eyes widened in shock.

"...Yeah...how did you know?"

"I dunno. Had the same dream as well, and I can't stop thinking about it either."

Nikisha was 3rd wheeling in confusion. What the hell was happening to the 2 of them?

The bell rang, signaling that it was break time.

"You know what, I'll let you guys off for this once, just don't let it happen again, ok." Sophia returned back to her usual personality. "Or you know what's coming for you."

"Yeah yeah whatever McLaughlin, you do you. C'mon Jazzy, I can post a BeReal with you now." Nikisha grabbed Jasmine's arm, pulling her towards the door.

"Actually." Sophia turned around quickly. "I think I need to have a few words with Jasmine, please."

Jasmine locked eyes with her.

"Oh, um ok. I'll be out in a bit, Niki." Jasmine said as Nikisha shrugged and walked off.

Sophia took the pink lemonade vape that was in Jasmine's hand and started smoking it, leaving her shocked that she could even do such a thing.

"I think we need to chat about this 'dream' thing." Sophia gave her a look.

"Yeah...I think we do too..." Jasmine glared back.
