'THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, Bill Clinton, a committed supporter of the peace protest, will visit both sides of the community during his trip to Belfast before travelling to Londonderry.' The radio blared through the kitchen as Fallon slide across a plate of toast towards her sister. 

"You going see Bill, Fal?" Teagan asked as she bit down on the toast. "Maybe," She shrugged as she gave her sister a small smile. "Are you?"

"Nope, me and Siobhan are gonna go to Olive's," The younger girl informed as she stood up and placed her plate into the sink. "Olive's got a new cat. Timmy is it's name."

Fallon chuckled. "Aye, I heard about Timmy. Olive's Ma's beaming about him."

Suddenly, the buses horn blared, signalling that it had arrived on the street. Teagan grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder before pulling her sister into a hug. "See you later," She smiled with a wave as she opened it the door. "Bye, T. Have a good day!" And with that, the youngest O'Reilly had left for school.

As for Fallon, she hadn't gone to school for the past week and a half, not until the bruising on her face had gone down. Her face was less puffy, all she had left was the large cut on her lip and her eye. As for the rest of her body, they were extremely slow to heal. 

In all honesty, she didn't have it in her to go to school. Socialize with people who weren't Teagan or Michelle. That's why she settled on not walking with her friends so they bombard her with questions, instead she'd go to school at lunch.

Jenny Joyce was on the bottom of her list who she wanted to see and hear. Plus Fallon knew that all that the girls and James would be talking about is Bill Clinton or Chelsea. Either way, they'd be to distanced by them to ask any questions about her sudden disappearance.   

Upon arriving at school, she'd heard the lunch bell ring before walking down the corridor to where the others were sat. "Fallon?" The voice of Clare was heard, with a hint of confusement in her tone, as she saw the girl approach them.

Michelle's head spun around, a smile appearing on her face by seeing her. "Hey, Fal." She wrapped her arm around Fallon's waist loosely and pulled the girl to sit in her lap.

"Hey, Michelle," Came from the dirty blonde, her voice soft, as she planted a peck on Michelle's lips. "We get the day off tomorrow?"

Erin rolled her eyes. "No."

"Look," James began, trying to reason with the very pissed off girls. "Bill doesn't even get here till four o'clock tomorrow."

"Bill? Who are you? His Ma?" His cousin narrowed her eyes at him which made James send her a look. "We've got plenty of time is all I'm saying." He explained.
