-FREEING 6- JOEY LYNCH

-PROLOUGE-

-12 YR OLD AEMMA"

       I woke up today feel awful.. The distinct pain from my head and arms was striking. I groaned as I rolled over onto my stomach.. First day of hell, I got up and trotted to the white, silky curtains that contained the newly raised sunshine that appeared through my clear, window. I opened up my curtains and looked outside, "It's summer and it's so gloomy.. So sad." I huffed out, feeling groggy. I went to my drawers and pulled out my new BCS uniform. I don't understand why, I can't go to Tommen like my brother Johnny. Mam said that I'm not ready for it yet but, I am. Really! I'm 12 and I have to go to a Community School.. Oh well.. I shrugged my shoulders, putting the thought aside and skipped to my bathroom. I feel so much better now that I have energy. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled! "You're going to do great!" I said to myself. I took my gaze off myself and stripped down to my underwear and my overnight bra.. Well It's not really a bra, cause I barely have anything back there but mam says it's because I haven't hit puberty yet. I finished putting on the trainy bra and put my white button up shirt on, then my grey blazer. I leaned down and grabbed my skirt, I slipped it on and then looked at myself again. "This skirt is so short!" I spat out as I rubbed my hands over the fabric material that clung to my body. I grabbed my clothes from off the cold tile floor and trotted to my hamper and threw my clothes in it. I grabbed my shoes and some white socks then I left my room.

------------------------------------------

    "Hey Mam!!" I said as I smelt her delicious scones.

   "Hey Pet, take a seat. Scones will be out in a minute!" Mam replied soothly. 

Mam, is the best! Her name is Edel and she has the most perfect hair and body ever! No wonder why my dad loves her! She's the greatest women of all time! She loves fashion and she always makes me try new things. 

"Hey Aem" Johnny said as he ruffled my hair with his massive hand. "Hey! Watch the hair!! It took me hours to make it perfect!" I stated, and I tried to fix my hair. " You'll be fine Aem, you look beautiful." Johnny replied with a goofy smile. "Ew, don't call my that! It sounds weird coming from you!" I fake gagged and pretended to throw up. "Okay durp, hush up now." Johnny chuckled out as he took the seat next to me. "So, you ready for first day?" He asked as he drummed his fingers on the marble top.  "Mhm! I can't wait to see Aoife!! I miss her!" I replied as I took a sip of tea. "I bet you are, such a big girl." Johnny said as he folded his arms across his chest. "Okay big guy, I'm  twelve ya big eejit." I said as I glared at him. "Wow" Johnny replied while jerking his head back, as he was offended. "Stop it, the pair of ye" Da said as he walked in with his brief case in hand.

I like my dad, he can be much sometimes. But I love him. His name is John, he loves lawyering so he does something like that. I  can't remember what it's called.. Oh well.

 "Here you go Pet." Mam says as she places a blueberry scone on a tea plate for me. "Thank youu!!" I said as I licked my lips and immediately shoved the scone in my mouth. "Slow down,  sunshine! You're going to choke ya know." Da states as he pulled the scone out of my mouth. He always calls me sunshine, he says he does it because I'm like the sun. So bright and happy. "Sorry.." I said with my mouth full with the scone. "Now grab the rest of your scone and let's go, need to get you to school bud." Mam said as she dried her hands and grabbed her keys. "Love you dear." Ma said to dad as she left a small peck on his cheek. "Bye Johnny!!!" I said as I ran up to him and hugged him. "Have a good day Aem! Text me if something happens okay." Johnny said as he ruffled my hair again. "Aye! I said watch the hair!" I squealed as I ran away from him. "Bye da!!" I screamed from the corridor. "Bye Sunshine!" He replied back. Today was going great!

----------------------------------------------------

     "Bye pet! phone me if anyone causes you trouble." Mam said too me as I stepped out of the car. "I will mam, don't worry!" I was quick to say as I throw my white back pack over my shoulder. "I love ya!" I squealed, with a big smile on my face. "Bye pet, love the lot of ye" Mam said just before she pulled the car away, leaving the school. 

       Once my mam left I turned on my heels and looked up at the huge community school that was right in front of me.. "Woah..." I huffed out. "This will be fun." I replied out in a sigh as I walked to the front of  the main building.. "AEMMAAAAA" I heard someone scream, which caused me to stop dead in my tracks. I turned around and look at the person who screamed. "Omigosh! AOIFE!!!" I squealed as I ran up to her. I hugged her and she hugged me back. Her beautiful, long, blonde hair that smells like coconuts. She over towered me, I was 5'0  and she was easily about 5'6. "I missed you!" She whispered as her blonde hair blew around. "I missed you too Aoif" I stated as I pulled away. The nice hot sun, illuminated the area we were stood. "How was your summer?!" Aoife said as she tangled her arm with mine and began to  walk to the garden wall,  that was in front of the main building. "It was good! Just had to go to a lot of rugby games. Gerard said that  I should've cheered for him instead of Johnny." I stated, while shrugging and then jumping on top of the garden wall, taking my place on the top. "How was yours?" I asked as she sat next to me on the cold hard brick. "Mine was okay. It was really boring, I had nothing to do." Aoife said while huffing out in exaggeration. "Well, it's the first day of secondary school." I exclaimed as I sagged down. "Oh that reminds me! I need to introduce you to Joey.!!" Aoife squealed in excitement. "Joey?? I-I don't think you have too." I said in pure nervousness. "Joey!! Over here!" Aoife was already quick to say. She was heard from all the way over from the other side of the car park. "Jeez.." I huffed out, while handing my face with my hand. "What's up Molloy." A sort of deep voice was heard from a centimeter in front of me. "This is Aemma! Aemma Kavanagh! She's my best friend." Aoife was quick to exclaim. "H-Hi.." I said nervously.. I have only ever talked to Aoife and Casey. I don't even talk to boys... I looked up at the boy, he looked dead at me. His blonde curls messily plopped on the top of his head with the sides freshly cut. He was lean, but mascular. Nice forest green eyes locked on my, causing me to look deeper into his eyes. I tilt my head to the side a little as I notice a newly healing bruise on his cheek bone.. He locked eyes with me again.. He was interesting, It was like he was hiding things...  Things I wanted to know.. But I didn't want to get wrapped into..
