Harley POV:

After being sat at the back off Miss McCabes lesson, which made me calm down a bit, I venture down to break…. I hate break as I have no friends and everyone just makes fun of me. I sit down on a table and you see your bullies come over.

Caitlin. “ oi fattie… why weren’t you in English???”
Holly. “ yeah exactly, we love you in English.”
Harley. “ no you don’t…”
Caitlin. “ FUCK YOU!!”

They suddenly started punching me…. And well they knocked me out.Next thing I knew  I was in Miss Mac Donagh’s office.

Miss Mac Donagh. “ Harls… why did you get beat up.”
Harley. “ I don’t know miss…”
Miss Mac Donagh. “ Harley…you do know that I have to CPON this and call your parents..”
Harley. “ I do…”
Miss Mac Donagh. “ ok I’ll call them up and then I’ll have a word with them girls..”
Harley. “Mhmmm.”

After that I sit outside her office, nose bleeding and I’m black and blue. I couldn’t get why I got beat up. It feels like hours later until Miss Mac Donagh comes out and says that mum and dad couldn’t give a shit about me being beat up. But then I get a message over the tannoy from Mr Noon, the leader of SLT.

Tannoy. “ THIS IS A STUDENT ANNOUNCEMENT AND CAN HARLEY WALSH 9B COME TO MY OFFICE PLEASE… THANK YOU!!!”

Fuck what have I done this time…  My chest goes tighter as well. Just wonderful. A tight chest probably means I become non verbal. I hate being non verbal. It’s just so annoying when you have words but you can’t say it. As I sit outside Mr Noons office.. he comes out

Mr Noon. “ Hello Harley… you’re not in any trouble at all… I actually want you here to do me a huge favour.”
Harley. “ what is it sir, I hope it isn’t speaking to Miss Murray again… she screams in my face.”
Mr Noon. “ hahaha…. No Harley it’s not that, as you may have noticed from the lovely young girl here we have a new student.. her name is Lauryn McCabe, she’s in your form and teaching group. I want you to be her buddy.”
Harley. “ yes of course I can sir… hello Lauryn.”

Lauryn POV:

Wow that girl is finneeeeeeeee. Sorry I’ll snap out of that. She’s just so beautiful it’s amazing. Though probably my luck she has a girlfriend or boyfriend and anyway I’m not pretty enough for her. She’s just so beautiful and well i love her… love at first sight but she’s probs got a partner. I go into mini scenarios where it’s me and her. Tho I’m quickly snapped out of it.

Harley. “ hey you ok???”
Lauryn. “ huh - what- yeahyeah I am.”
Harley. “ no no no Lauryn… your stuttering and your voice is shaky. Let’s breathe in and out…1-2-3-4”

I’m fucking weak… she’s gone onto her knees and is now holding me like a baby… sorta.

Harley. “ so what made you come here then….”
Lauryn. “ lots of reasons.. main reasons are that Katie McCabe my sister has moved to Manchester City and I’m in the u16 when I’m 14.”
Harley. “ WOWWWWWW!!!! I’m in city’s u16 as well, fun fact I’m Keira Walsh’s sister.”
Lauryn. “ wow really… you got a girlfriend??”
Harley. “No… we broke up a month ago.”
Lauryn. “ I’m sorry harley…”
Harley-"its no problem, we didn't work together it was best we ended"
I quickly change up the conversation
Lauryn-"anyway so your my buddie I guess?"
Harley-"yeah so you'll be with me all day everyday of course if that's okay with you, and then yeah"
Lauryn-"okay what lessons first?"
Harley-"sir can we go now?"
Mr Noon-"no not yet Harley I think miss Mac Donagh wants you to wait for her after what happened at break"
Harley-"okay that's no problem"
Lauryn-"whos miss Mac Donagh?"
Harley-"shes our head of year shes lovely, I love her"
Lauryn-"okay" Just then Miss Mac Donagh walks in with Miss McCabe and I look at them both confused
Miss Mac Donagh-"me and Miss McCabe have come up with the idea that both you harls and Lauryn can stay with me or Miss McCabe, I know Lauryn this isn't great but we feel Harley will be better, Lauryn you are welcome to go to your own lessons"
Lauryn-"uhm can I try a few of my own lessons? I need to get used to them, sorry harley"
Harley-"its fine I get it, enjoy it"
Miss Mac Donagh-"come on then Lauryn I'll take you, what is it? History? Come on then"
They walk out and I'm sat on a spinning chair in Mr Noons' office spinning around in circles
Miss McCabe-"has someone not had their adhd tablets today?"
Harley-"ermmmmm totally"
Miss McCabe-"please stop spinning you'll go dizzy"
Harley-"fineeeeeee"
Miss McCabe-"what happened at break time H"
Harley-"honestly Miss I don't know, they come over to me asking me why I weren't in English they callee me fat and they said they love me in English and I said no you don't and then they started beating me up"
Miss McCabe-"okay tell miss Mac Donagh that okay she's gonna ask, and you'll be with her for this hour and then me and then were both free after lunch"
I nod when Miss Mac Donagh walks back in
Harley-"is she okay? Lauryn I mean"
Miss Mac Donagh-"yeah she'll be with you at lunch she says" I nod "now harls what happened at break"
Harley-"honestly Miss I don't know, they come over to me asking me why I weren't in English they callee me fat and they said they love me in English and I said no you don't and then they started beating me up"
Miss Mac Donagh-"okay that's okay, right your with me for this hour yeah?" I nod
Harley-"thank you, for letting me stay with you"
Miss Mac Donagh-"if your not comfortable, your not comfortable"
I nod "come on lets go to my office instead" I nod and follow her to her office "don't put that coat on harls"
I smirk sliding my arms out of it
Harley-"I would never"
We get to her office and I sit on her comfy sofa she has, the cushions are bouncy, while she sits on her computer, I sit up leaning my back against it starting to zone out and tearing up
Miss Mac Donagh-"harls?"
Harley-"what huh yeah?"
Miss Mac Donagh-"what's wrong sweetheart?"
Harley-"why does nobody want me, my parents don't want me, I have no friends, I'm sure teachers are sick of me"
Miss Mac Donagh-"im not sick of you, miss McCabe isn't sick of you, miss Quinn isn't sick of you"
I shrug "your parents just don't see you the way I do, I know there's talent up there and with your feet, there just yet to see that"
I nod and she puts her arm over my shoulders rubbing my arm "ive got you harls"
