GEORGIA:
i'm finally out of religious studies. as much as i take interest, nothing beats my favourite lesson; art. art is my comfort activity. i used to doodle all the time, ever since i could hold a pen. i'm a bit disappointed that i don't have art today, but for the rest of the week i have it at least once a day. i walk past the student support centre and i see emilie in there, looking rather confused, hurt and upset. i wonder why she looks like she's on the verge of tears? i walk away and i go outside to find my friends. i look everywhere for five minutes. i can't find them anywhere so i go to student support to talk to miss green. emilie is in there still, but i need to tell miss green i can't find my friends anywhere. "hey georgia, what's up? this is the second time i've seen you here today"
"i can't find any of my friends anywhere, they told me to meet them by the canteen but i've checked everywhere and they weren't there"
"okay, well emilie, why dont you sit there"
emilie looks upset. i want to ask why but i just stand there in silence.
"oh my god my friends can go do one"
"whats up emilie" miss green says
"they said they didn't think i'd mind."
"oh well they can do one" miss green says
i leave since miss green is focused solely on emilie.
the bell goes and i check my timetable; english.
i walk down to english and once were all there our teacher mr wakely goes through the seating plan.
"in the back far corner; i want emilie mclean and georgia brookes sat there."
a choir of ooohs fill the room. everyone knows that me and emilie hate each other.
but absolutely smashing work mr wakely. thanks for putting me with someone i hate. i sit down and i see emilie staring at me, not with hatred, but with a sad look.
"are you okay" i say; i wouldn't normally check up on her but she was miserable.
"no"
"what's up then"
"i have no friends at school"
"what do you mean, you usually hang around with katy harper and noah"
"yeah well katy and noah transferred to the grammar school, they didn't tell me because they thought i wouldn't mind, and harper's so close to being permoed for falling asleep in almost every lesson"
"oh damn, well i know you can make other friends, your a very likeable person"
likeable??
what the hell am i saying.
"thanks, could i come get lunch with you though"
"i don't know if thats a good idea. my friends hate you. if we were friends, they would just interfere meaning we can't be friends"
"don't worry about it then"
the rest of the lesson was mr wakely yapping on about how this year is so important, and me and emilie stayed in silence.
