Babe.

33.

Benny.

Blanca stopped next to me in front of the school doors, "so what's this master plan of yours?"
I'd called her last night telling her about how I had an idea that might make her first day back a little more bearable.

"Think of it more as a social experiment. You are going to pretend you've lost your voice and I am going to be your voice for the day. So when people try and take advantage of your insaneness I can tell the to fuck off. That way the blame falls on me and you can see what it would be like to be free." I explained.

Blanca frowned, "do you really know me so well that you think you could be my mouth for the day?"
"Yep and either way it's worth a shot, we have all the same classes today it should be fine." I encouraged praying she'd say yes.
She tugged on a strand of her hair pursing her lips, "okay, we can try it."
I grinned at her trying to keep my schock and excitement under wraps, "welcome to a day in the life."

We walked into school and I swear we weren't even 5 meters into the busking before someone came up to her. Fucking vultures.
"Hey Blanca, I was wondering if you had a second I'm totally swamped and I have an essay due last period could you do me a huge favour and write it for me? I've already done the plan I just need it thought out on paper."

Had she lost her fucking mind? I actually wanted to punch this girl because the audacity of her was astounding.
"Sorry Holly, she can't she's busy having a life that doesn't revolve around your problems." I replied pulling Blanca away.
She turned to glare at me, "I'm pretty sure Blanca has her own voice asshole."
"Too bad for you that she lost it and needs me to translate." I shot back over my shoulder. What a bitch.

"That was fucking awesome." Blanca whispered grinning.
I grinned back, "relieved?"
"You have no idea."

Slinging my arm around her shoulder I guided her over to chemistry for our first lesson of the day. I was going to enjoy her lost voice for this lesson because even though we were friends now she was still mega bossy about this project.

She jabbed her finger into my waist as we sat down, "I bet you're going to enjoy this."
"You have no idea."  I teased her as we sat down.
"Slacker."
"Slave driver."
That earned me a slap on the arm, "you are such an ass."
"Haven't you lost your voice?" I asked laughing.
"It came back just for you."
"I'm honoured."
"You should be."

Blanca.

I wanted to lose my voice every day because life had never been so easy, I'd spent the whole day doing things that I actually wanted to do. That had never happened to me before at school.

Tilly clapped her hands together giddily as we sat down for lunch, "is this cute or is this cute? Who knew that Benny could be such a sweetheart? If this doesn't prove he likes you I don't know what does."

"Keep it down, and you're wrong he's just being nice." I muttered. We were eating out on the lawn because I couldn't talk in the cafeteria because everyone thought I'd lost my voice.
"No one but you is that nice chickee." She replied making space on the grass for Nika.
"She's right." My other traitor friend agreed, "plus this has earned him some major brownie points in my eyes, who would have known he could be such a bitch?"
I did from first had experience, but I had to admit it was fun seeing him be it to other people.

"And was I right or was I right?" Benny asked as he came to sit beside me. "Was that not the most genius idea ever?"
"It was a pretty good idea."
"It was a pretty fucking amazing and I'll take my thank you in the form of you going to the movies with me. They're playing some film called aback to the Future and I heard it's really good."
I swear Tilly's eyes went the size of saucers when he asked but she was also an over romantic so she exaggerated every detail in her head.
