Chapter 5

Pay back. I am going to get he back. That is the only thought that is running through my mind as I head over to Mrs Burke’s house for work the following morning.

I feel tears form in my eyes as I think about what happened yesterday:

Flashback~

I spin back around and run back into the comfort of my cubicle. I wipe vigorously at the tears that begin to fall. I still hear the people in the store laughing at what Jett.

“I don’t want you hanging out with her Veronica.” I hear Jett growl from out side of the changing room.

“Why Jett? Is it because she is your-“Veronica snarls at Jett.

“Shut up!” Jett shouts at her. “I don’t want you hanging out with her because she is a gold digging pervert.” I hear the venom in Jett’s voice.

“No she isn’t, she didn’t even want to come today, but we made her!” Veronica all but shouts.

“And I know that you where in the shower with-“Veronica is cut off me exiting form the cubicle in my normal clothes.

“If you don’t mind, I’m going to go now.” I say and I head out of the changing area.

Just as I pass by Jett, he sticks his foot out, making me trip over, but unlike any normal person who would have stopped, I carried on stumbling into the clothing rail, where all of the clothes that people didn’t want were hung. And behind that rail of clothes was a brick wall, and I smashed my head against it.

The room fills with boisterous laughter and I struggle to get up as the room starts to spin. I feel a cool hand grasp onto mine and helps pull me up.

“Oh God, Lianna your head is bleeding.” At the sound of Veronica’s voice, I timidly touch my forehead, where I feel a warm liquid. I his as I pull my hand away from the cut because pains shoots through my head.

I open my eyes and struggle to glance around because of the tears that blur my vision. When I focus on the room, I see Bianca and her bitches stood together laughing, while Bianca films me with her iphone 5. I see Tori, Missy and Brittany stand in the doorway with concern looks on their faces while they look between me and Jett.

And finally I glance at Jett, and I’m shocked when I see his usual light eyes are now a dark. But his eyes are not staring at my eyes, instead they are staring at the red patch on my forehead, and his hands are clenched so tight, his whole hand is white.

I look back at Veronica and her eyes are a darker colour as well, but not as dark as Jett’s and she is staring at my forehead as well.

“I’ve got to go.” I whisper and pull my hand out of Veronica’s.

“Lianna-“I cut Veronica off.

“I’ll find my own way home.” I say trying to hold back a fresh new batch of tears.

I walk away from Veronica and I walk past Bianca and her friends but she won’t let me past that easily, instead of letting me walk past normally Bianca pushes my arm, making me take a second stumble that day. But this time instead of falling over I recover quickly and try to walk out with my chin held high, but their laughter that follows me just makes me want to go and crawl in a hole.

I don’t even look at Brittany, Missy and Tori as I walk past them. When I walk through the shop it feels like everyone is staring at me and it is taking all of my strength not to bolt from the shop.

I calmly walk out of the shop door and down the ally next to the shop. I stop to try and calm myself down before I go home because I don’t want my mum to ask any questions.
