 ~Chapter 14 – Walk home~

 This seriously couldn’t get any better I sighed…

 “Raquel you ok get the hell off her!” I heard as I looked beside me to see how Anthea pushed her tray aside and came to help me up.

 I groaned again, I felt the weight moving away and I breathed again. This was seriously not a good day for me, when I felt Anthea tug my arm up and I slowly found myself sitting up. My back hurt and my stomach felt like it got punched in, the yoghurt that fell on me was getting sticky now and I moaned in disgust.

 “Come on let’s get you cleaned up.” I heard the shock in Anthea’s tone

 Who really did think they would get hit by yoghurt really, the fight I realized was still ongoing and amongst them was not the boy I hoped for because he was gone. Moreover, it bugged me I was being paranoid, what is up with the brothers? What are they trying to do by not telling me, I felt myself jerk and I just noticed through the curtain of yoghurt in front of my bangs? A pink haired girl was pulling me hard by the hand and tugged me towards the toilets to get cleaned up.

 “I can’t believe it this is the first time we had a fight in so long I wonder what happened.” I heard Anthea mutter to herself whilst pulling me

 However, my mind was on other things. It was all covered up by the two boys I happen to live with one who happens to be in the same class as me. In addition, the other was a delinquent. What was going on? Anthea looked at me with concerned eyes and told me to wait in the toilets while she got a spare change of clothing before we headed to class.

 I stood outside the toilet for a few minutes watching Anthea’s retreating back. I slipped inside and noticed two other girls who were applying lip-gloss before noticing I was standing. They moved aside to let me through and looked at each other gave themselves a grin and giggled as they went out. I stared at myself in the mirror the yoghurt was everywhere and I grumbled with some curses, I hated how I was the one getting thrown everywhere and no one else was.

 I turned the tap on and went inside the loo to get some tissue placing it under the water letting it get soaked up, and wiping my face clear of the strawberry yoghurt. I couldn’t but get a lick of it at the side of my mouth; I didn’t hear the door opening or notice someone else was with me.

 “Raquel are you eating yoghurt of your face?” I heard beside me which made me jump

 “No” I replied looking down at my finger which was covered in the sloppy goo, and my tongue slightly out.

 “Ok if you say so.” she stifled a laugh I realised what an embarrassing position I was I couldn’t defend myself.

 “Here you go, I always keep a change I was wondering if I ever needed it, and god gave me an answer when you walked into my life.” she replied smiling smugly, I looked at her hands there was a new pair of jumper and shirt.

 “Oh thank you so much.” I moaned I couldn’t have asked for more a better person.  As I went towards to collect it she move back and lifted the clothes away from me.

 “First clean then you can touch it” she laughed at my confusion.

 I went back to cleaning the yoghurt and then took of my clothes, and folded them and placed them inside the bag. Luckily, I didn’t have books in there to be soaked. She handed me the clothes and I slipped them on one by one. I wasn’t self conscious around her at all which amused me because I was a terrible person when it came to stripping. I don’t even take off my clothes in front of my mother, it feels so awkward but with Anthea, I was ok.
