LET'S GET REAL

CUTS PART 6

Amelia's p.o.v: We were in Remedial Goodness 101 Mal and Evie were sitting next to either and me Carlos and Jay are sitting next to either Fairy Godmother is at the front of the class. Today we will be reading Romeo and Juliet please get out our books and read the first two chapters. Fairy Godmother said then sat down at her desk I raised my hand. Yes, Amelia what is it? She asked me with a smile. Um, I'm sorry mate but I just fall to see how reading a romance book will help us become "better people" I said looking at her she just smiled. It's not a romance it's a tragedy dear. She said then sat down. Oh, that makes it so much better. I said to myself rolling my eyes I hate books about romance and tragedy I mean come on don't you have something better to do than come up with more ways to make people cry, a small tug on my sleeve brought me out of my thought I looked to my left to see Carlos holding a book. Is this it? He asked pointing to the book that said Romeo and Juliet on the cover. Yes, it is mate, would you like it if I helped you read it? I asked he was biting his lip and looked at me for a second he was clearly thinking. Yes. He said with a smile I took the book from him and put it on the table and opened it. What's that word? He asked pointing to the word dignity. I think it means stuck up. I said looking at him he chuckled then we heard the loud sound of the door swinging open Carlos must have been startled because he grabbed my hand under the deck and tightens his grip Jane and some girl I don't know walked in she has red hair and brown eyes. Oh. Hello, dear ones. Fairy Godmother says to Jane and the girl. Hi. You need to sign off on early dismissal for the coronation. Everyone this is my daughter Jane and Sandy Ariel's daughter. Fairy Godmother said as she singed the papers Jane took the papers from Fairy Godmother who was now sitting down at her desk reading Jane and Sandy were walking out when Sandy saw me and Carlos holding hands under the desk she smirked. Oh, how cute the pirate and the mute. She whispered I growled quietly trying not to scare Carlos. I noticed that Carlos was staring at Jane as she walked out after they left we started to read again. Is everyone done? Fairy Godmother asked standing up from her deck and putting her book away I looked around Mal Evie and Jay have all finished reading. We have not. I said to Fairy Godmother she nodded and sat back down after a few minutes we finished I put the book away. Where done. I said getting up with Carlos Jay Mal and Evie. Ok, you may leave now. Fairy Godmother, we nodded and left.

Ben's p.o.v: I was talking to Amelia and Carlos about Tourney when he started to scream and run away with Amelia running after him. Carlos? Carlos! I yelled running after him. No, stop! Carlos yelled I ran after him into the woods. Carlos! I yelled running through the woods. Ben? Ben? Carlos yelled I ran to the sound finding Carlos up and tree with Amelia looking up at him with her hands on her hips. Whoa-Whoa-Whoa! I said picking up Dude then I looked over at Amelia. What's wrong? I asked Amelia sighed. He's deathly scared of dogs and if we don't get him to calm down soon he will have a panic attack. Amelia said. I had no idea that he was this scared of dogs. I thought. Ben, help me! Thi-s thing is a kil-le-er! He's gonna chase me down an--d-d rip out my thro-oa- at. This is a vici-i--ous-s, rabid pac-k ani--mal-s! Carlos yelled I could see that his knuckles were turning white. Dogs are not going to kill you. Amelia said Carlos was unconvinced. Hey, who told you that? I asked. My-y mo-o thee-r. Carlos said tightening his grip on the tree I heard the fear in his voice when he said, mother. Cruella? I asked Amelia facepalmed. No, Mary Poppins. Amelia said crossing her arms. She's a dog e-xxpert. A dog yelll--eere-r. Why are you hoo--ldin--g him? He's go--n-na at-ta--ck yoo-u! Carlos said hyperventilating. Carlos, you've never actually met a dog, have you? I asked Amelia facepalmed again then glared at me. O-f-f co-uurs-e n-ot. He stuttered out. Dude, meet Carlos. Carlos, this is dude. He's the campus mutt. I said then Carlos looked at Dude before calming down. He doesn't look like a vicious, rabid pack animal. Carlos said breathing slower I handed him, Dude. Jeez. You're a good boy, aren't you? You're a good boy. Carlos said petting him well smiling. I told you. Amelia said Carlos rolled his eyes but chuckled. I guess you guys have it pretty rough on the island. I said Carlos nodded still petting Dude. You're a good runner. Ever think about joining the tourney team? I asked Carlos shook his head. I would get trampled, but Jay, might want to join go ask him. Carlos said looking up from Dude I nodded. I will go do that. I said smiling. Oh, Ben, I was wondering about the fencing team. Amelia said I sighed. It's only for guys, sorry. I said she rolled her eyes. I have been fencing for more than half my life. Amelia said I sighed. I will talk with the coach. I said Amelia smiled. then walked off. Let's head back to the dorms. Amelia said Carlos nodded and they walked after me.

Mal's p.o.v: We were in mine and Evie's room with Amelia Jay and Carlos who had a dog with him me Evie and Jay were shocked to see our little pup holding a dog but it was worth it to see the smile on his face I can't remember the last time I saw him smile, we where in our room hanging out I was painting Evie was sowing Carlos was trying to read Romeo and Juliet Jay was helping him and Amelia was trying to settle an argument between Dude and Jack all I know is it has something to do with a banana and peanut butter I just hope that they shut up soon all I hare is barking and whatever sound a pissed off monkey makes then there was a knock at the door the room went quiet Evie got up and opened the door Belle was standing there. What do you want? Evie asked looking up at the queen. Well, I heard some noise and wanted to see if everything was ok. It's fine mate just the dog and monkey got into a fight. Amelia said shooting a glare at Dude and Jack Belle just looked at her like she was nuts she then looked at me and saw my arms she walked over to me and picked up my left arm and looked at all the cuts burns and scars. Who did this to you? She asked tares threading to spill I looked down. My mom. I said not wanting to make eye contact Belle then raped her arms around me I was going to pull away but I didn't I was not use to this kind of affection but it feels nice so I hugged her back after a bit she pulled away she got up and looked at me. I am so sorry that she did that to you. She said hugging me one more time and letting go. It's not just me. I said in a whisper she looked at the others and walked over to them. I can help but you need to let me. She said in a come quiet voice they all nodded but did not speak Evie walked forward. Jay has cuts on his arms and neck and whip marks on his back, Amelia has scars and cuts from fights but the newest one is on her neck, Carlos has scars cut whip makes and cigarette burns all over him. Evie said looking down. And you? Belle asked Evie tare streaming down her face. No, I'm fine. Evie said still looking down. Ok, I will get the first aid kit. Belle wiped away the tears with the back of her hand as she walked into the bathroom and grabbed the first aid kit. Ok, who will go first? Belle asked no one moved. I will. I said looking up at her. Ok, can you sit right here? She asked me I sat down on my bed next to her. Ok, this might sting a little. She said as she put a wet cloth on my cuts I winced and pulled back a little. I know it hurts. The last time I did this was for my husband. She said we all looked at her. He had just saved my life from a pack of wolves and he got bit so I was taking care of him. I must say he acted like a two-year-old when I had to clean one of the bits. She said with a chuckle. You're done. She said I looked at my arms they had bandages on them I did not even notice that she did that. Thank you. I said after they were done Jay had bandages on his arms and back Amelia had a bandage on her neck and on her upper left arm she had gotten cut there to and did not tell us and Carlos had bandages on his arms legs back and hand from a cut he got a few days ago. Belle got up and put the first aid kit away. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. She said giving me one more hug and left. I know I am supposed to hate it here and hate the people but they have been nothing but nice to us I do not want to steal from them and go back to the isle. I thought.
