Return To Paradise

20

Laying in her bed after saying good night to Shaun, Brielle grabbed her phone.
Rome - Pocahontas, how did you go with your dress?
- it's being designed. Keen to wear it?
Rome - she replies. I didn't know Pocahontas could use one. I'm not wearing it. I'm wearing a suit but I'm sure you will look breathtaking
- advanced. The dress Is what I chose. The heels.. I'm bound to break my ankles. I need to learn
Rome - yeah you are. You are going to be one heck of an architect. Never worn them?
- never. Buying a new suit?
Rome - practice. I need my partner to make me look good. Yes. Dad said so. I have one but no doubt I've grown out of it.
- I'm sure you will look great but definitely not like the cave man. That's fair. Can't have you wearing clothes too small for you
Rome - prefer the dirt huh?. That's true. I need room to breathe and move. Three dances :/
- showed your true self out there. You don't give me the businessman vibe. Well.. in a suit anyway. Yeah I read that. This will be interesting.
Rome - you too. You have been quiet. I don't like it. It will be. Ever danced?
- it's me. Never. You?
Rome - sometimes but you livened up. Now back at school, you are like a mouse. If something is wrong, tell me.
- Im fine. I do need to get some sleep. I will see you tomorrow.
Rome - okay then
Rome sighed 'there is something wrong I just don't know what it is. I don't like it when she is like that. I like being in her company but I'm very open. Joel tried to get her to liven up but couldn't. I know she doesn't know him that well, but still'.

'ugh. Back to the place I hate the most. It used to be this house but it's been peaceful since coming back. No Claudia now but now I'm dealing with so many in my face. I can't handle it' Brielle got dressed for school then fixed her hair into a tight bun like always before grabbing her bag and walked down stairs. "Good morning" "good morning" 'dull again' "did you sleep well?" "Yes I did. Now back to civilization" "that bothers you?" Brielle slightly nodded "school is good for socialising. It helps you make friends" "they only want to know me now due to what happened. For years no one wanted to socialise with me" "brielle, do you suffer from social anxiety?" "I don't know. But I don't like them in my face" "alright well maybe it's something we need to address" "I don't want to address any of them" Shaun grinned "not what I meant. Why don't you buy your lunch?" "They don't sell salad rolls" "you prefer home made?" "Most of the time plus it saves money" "we have plenty" "I know" 'she is completely different to Claudia. Claudia always wanted money for the cafeteria. Maybe she doesn't want to be in there because many others are there'.
Finishing making her lunch, Brielle packed it into her bag. "Ready to go?" "Yes" "then let's go. Breakfast?" Brielle grabbed a banana "got it" "alright" 'healthy everything' entering the car, Shaun and Brielle put their belts on. "I will be working late today. If need be, I will send a driver to pick you up" "I can walk" "it's a long walk.." "I'm used to it" "alright if thats what you want".
'ugh they are all there. I can handle Miley, Rome and Orson but others it gets crowded. Miley rushed to the car and opened the door. "Morning" Shaun chuckled "good morning" "morning. Bouncy today?" "Always..." Joel and Declan approaching, Shaun looked at both of them. "Hi sir" "Shaun" "I'm Joel" "Declan" "Brielle" "yeah I'm going" "I will see you when I get home" "alright.." brielle got out of the car "bye dad" "bye" Brielle shut the door and Shaun drove off. "Good night?" Brielle nodded "how did you go with a dress?" "We are going tonight. Dad wasn't impressed with the short notice" "nor Marcella" "you are getting a dress through her?" "Dads want. Getting it made. I didn't like a single one" Miley chuckled as they continued to walk "if I'm being told I have to wear a dress, I'm wearing one I want" "marcella has quite a range. And you didn't like any?" "No. Then I have to learn to walk in unnecessary shoes" Miley laughed "you have never worn them huh?" "No. You?" "Every year on mom's birthday" "how is that going?" "I don't even know how to feel about that" entering the year eleven and twelve building, Brielle looked at kelly-anne with a blank face and walked straight past her. 'she was once a friend..' Kelly ran straight up to Brielle "have you been well?" "For a loser, I'm doing just great" Kelly lowered her head "that was harsh. She came to speak to you" Brielle kept walking while Rome stopped "are you alright?" "I know we stuffed up but we used to be close" "you can join us" Miley looked at Rome then rushed up to Brielle "she used to be a friend right?" "Obviously not" Miley nodded "friends don't turn their backs for a status" "yeah well, they did. It shows they aren't true friends. When are these rehearsals?" "They start today" Brielle nodded as she entered their classroom. "Let's take the back" "the back?" "Yeah.." orsons eyes widened 'miley just said that?' "okay. Lets sit there. It's what you want" both girls sitting down, Brielle spoke "how do I tackle these heels?" Miley laughed "it's good to see you coming around" Miley's eyes widened as kelly-anne and Anastasia sat down "quite easy. Practice" "how many times am I falling?" Miley chuckled "hold the wall. I'm busy tonight but I believe I have the rest free. Would Shaun mind?" "No" "good I think we both need it. Tippy toe training" Brielle looked at Miley with a blank face making Miley grin "seven and a half weeks. I studied that face" "did you just?" "Yeah. Deep down in that Pocahontas, xena, you tube watching survivor body of yours there was a laugh" "really deep down. Xena and you tube?" Miley broke out in laughter "do we want to start using nicknames?" "No" "arthropod" Miley smirked "I'm glad it was that". "Alright class settled down, today is a big day. As you know we have rehearsals this afternoon so six classes will be cramped into four" "WHAT?" "calm it down. Let's get started".
"It looks like it's going well" "no it's not" Rome looked at Orson "there are no arguments" "nah just Miley and Brielle talking while ignoring those two. Did you actually ask why she is that way towards her?" "People want to be friends with her" "doesn't mean she wants them there" Rome shook his head "maybe she's not the person I thought she was" "some socialite like her sister?" "Those two are total opposites" Orson nodded.
'she hasn't even spoken to us' Anastasia put her head down and got started on her work.
"No" Miley grinned "my saviour" "don't start" Miley chuckled. "Girls, we aren't sharing results?" "No. She was wrong and I said no. It's up to her to find the answer" mister sawyer grinned "okay. That's not cheating then. Your exams will show the truth any way" "when are they?" "In four weeks. Fun before the hard times" "welcome to adult hood" mister sawyer laughed "have fun with that" "aye aye captain" Miley saying that, brielles mind drifted to Sam and John. "Thinking about what I am?" "Two men?" "Yeah" "yeah" "maybe we can organise a package" Brielle grinned "that sounds great" Miley grinned.

'ugh why are they here?' Rome kept his distance while he spoke with Kelly-anne and Anastasia with Declan and Shane. Miley rolled her eyes "nice roll?" "Haven't even had a bite" "made my own this morning" "good puppy" Miley chuckled as she nudged Brielle. "Oh you two are nudging now?" "Getting in with her" Orson grinned "is that right?" "Well she sort of has no choice. She was stuck with me for seven weeks" "and three days. They count" Brielle and Miley chuckled before filling their mouths with food. "Mmm so much better than the cafeteria" "we didn't get our thick shake" Miley's eyes widened "oh we need to complain" "should I?" "Do it" Brielle grabbed her phone out and dialled shauns number and put it on loud "Brielle, bad day?" "It's been okay" Shaun took a long deep breath "Miley and I realised we missed out" "on what?" "Our thick shakes" Shaun laughed "can I come to yours tomorrow?" "For a thick shake?" "Maybe, but our intention is to practice" "of course. You are more than welcome. You girls have a good bond" "he loves me.. eek" "bye girls" Brielle and Miley laughed as Shaun ended the call. "Tomorrow it is" 'she hasn't even made an attempt'.
