Pirouette

Chapter Twenty Nine // Boyless

- Ella's POV -

I ran after Kim who had stormed out of the dining hall as soon as Hayden had spoke to her.

"Kim?!" I shouted while running after her, she stopped walking and waited for me to catch up.

"What's wrong? Did he say something?" I asked while catching my breath, she shook her head and sighed loudly.

"I j-just can't face him. I feel so b-bad" She whined before bringing her hands to her face. I gave her another big hug.

"It's not your fault okay? It's just the way you are" I said reassuringly. It was slowly approaching 9:00am which was when the first intellectual class began... English.

I was never really good at anything in school, but that's because I was so focused with getting started on my ballet career.

Cody caught up with us after he had finished his breakfast and then we walked to class. He was really in need of a shower but I don't think he cared that he stunk of alcohol and corn flakes.

Miss Autumn is bound to notice if she gets a whiff of his scent down the corridor.

We lined up outside the classroom while looking half dead from getting barley any sleep. Kim was incredibly anxious about the Hayden situation and Cody was freaking out about where Bethany could be, but I was more focused on Alison and what she had told me in her drunken state last night.

"Come in come in!" The lady in the bright purple dress shouted, she made everyone line up along the wall so she could choose our seats.

Kim was sat beside Hayden, Cody was alone at the front, I was alone at the back and Alison was on the other side of the room.

"Perfect!" The teacher shouted happily. She proceeded to give us folders and a simple test just so she could see where we are when it comes to English.

"You have about fifteen minutes to complete the test" She said before sitting down at her desk and sipping her tea.

The test was pretty simple, it looked like something a ten year old would do. Then suddenly the classroom door flew open.

"Sorry I'm late!" A voice shouted, it was Bethany!

"Beth!!" Cody screamed before jumping out of his seat and hugging her, everybody began to laugh and the teacher looked horrified. 

"You boy! What do you think you're doing? You are in the middle of a test sit down!" She shouted, Cody obeyed and took his seat again.

Bethany was still in her red dress which was ripped at the ends, her hair looked like she had been pulled through a bush backwards and her make up made her look like a clown.

"What.. Lovely outfit you have chose today" The teacher said while turning her nose up at Bethany, she pointed to the seat next to me and Bethany sat down.

"Cody was so worried about you, where were you all night?!" I whispered while staring at her, she smelt really bad.

"Relax, I made some friends in the club and we went out after you guys left" She explained.

"But anyway I have some interesting news.." Bethany whispered while pulling out her folder about everyone in first year.

"Did you know that Alison has never had a boyfriend.. Ever?" She said with a shocked expression, I shrugged my shoulders and we both glanced over at her doing the test.

"All these guys were obsessed with her in school and she turned every single one of them down"

"Maybe she was keeping her options open?" I suggested while fiddling with my pen.

"No.. I think it's more than that" Bethany said quietly.
