You Love To Test Me Don't You

8. You Love To Test Me Don't You

Ellie's Point of view

It's been a week since Sophie left and I've not been doing well...
Charlie hasn't talked to me all week, and things seem like they're getting worse everyday.

I've tried to move schools but all of them are full and no one has talked to me all week. I'm scared to go anywhere as wherever I go Lola and her gang always push me into walls or start shouting things at me.

I sat on my own in the canteen just playing with my food and keeping my head down, I hate making eye contact now, it probably is my biggest fear right now, that and running into Lola on my own.

I wonder what she has In store for me today, is she going to yank my hair out, make fun of every single thing I do?
The bell rang and I literally ran to my next class, fortunately I got there before Lola could get me.

I sat down and I saw Lola walk in holding hands with Charlie and she had really really red lipstick on and kissed his cheek, looking at me and left a kiss mark on his cheek and he smiled.

I wanted to be sick right there. That was disgusting, at least they weren't snogging like the other day, I was nearly sick then..

She gave me an evil look and I looked away not wanting her to distract me. I honestly couldn't concentrate on any of my work, I just sit and worry about what would happen to me next lesson and how I'd get there before or after she could.

After the last lesson if the day I decided to leg it home, rushing to get home and call Sophie, she hasn't seen or read any of my texts or answered my call, I don't know whether she's ignoring me and I'm starting to get worried.

I opened the door, and saw my mum who looked as if she was about to cry,
"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.
"Please sit down with me, love."
I sat with her on the sofa.
"I know things have been really tough and bad recently and what I'm about to tell you will make you upset and I know it's been getting worse but things will get better I promise."
"What is it?"
She gulped and then spoke, and I felt as if my whole world was going into a black whole.

"Sophie is dead."
