Cynthia Song: Secrets And Lies *On Going*

An Ordinary Life

Cynthia moaned as her alarm went off, it was 6am the first day back to school after half term. She only had 2 more months to go till her GCSE's but she was studying hard, well she was a Time Lord after all. She practically dragged her self out of bed, noticing the picture of her and her mother and her father at her bed side of when she was born, she stroked it and put on her dressing gown and headed to the console. As she approached the console she could hear giggling, she rolled her eyes and frowned as she recognised the giggle, she stepped onto the glass floor and she was right. In front of her was The Doctor and Clara.....kissing. "Uh hum!" Cynthia coughed, Clara and The Doctor looked up at her startled. "Oh heh sorry Ci Ci didn't see you there" Clara was sniggering "What are you doing up at this time?" Cynthia started to boil up inside "Dad what the hell, hello do you remember me, your daughter ! Bloody hell dad I told you yesterday that school start back today!" He suddenly frowned "I'm sorry Ci Ci, I-I forgot" She rolled her eyes "Yeah like a lot of things lately" She made her way back to the bathroom, The Doctor pulled away from Clara and went to go after Cynthia. "No dad don't even bother!, now if you don't mind, I've got a school to get to!" Cynthia turned away and went to the bathroom.

"You've got to tell her, Doctor she needs to know" Clara said as she walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waste and put her head on his shoulder, he sighed and bowed his head. "I dunno why she's like this, something must be bugging her, Clara I will tell her soon I promise, but I don't think now is a really good time".

An hour later Cynthia came back onto the console, she was wearing a red checkered shirt with blue jeans and white converse as it was the first day of term they always did this, she also had toast in her mouth, her father was somewhere in the back so she decided she'd eat herself to school. The Doctor had taught her how to fly the Tardis in case of an emergency......and this was an emergency. She started pressing buttons twigling things and typin in co-ordinates to her school, she then pulled the leaver and then Tardis time rotor elevated up and down. The Doctor came running in, "CYNTHIA  WHAT THE HELL DIDNT I TELL YOU, YOU CAN ONLY FLY HER IN AN EMERGENCY!. He said holding on to the railings, reaching to the console. "Yeah well dad this is an emergency !!, I need I get to school I have GCSE's to revise that I need to do well in!".

The Tardis landed in London in 2016, on the scanner it read:
Destination
Coal Hill School
The doctor managed to retain control of the Tardis again stroking her. Cynthia picked up her rucksack and made her way to the door. Not even saying goodbye. The Doctor had sadness in his eyes.================================================

"So class, don't forget to give those letters about Parents Evening to your parents" Said Mr Chesterton. Everyone moaned as they put the letters into their bags. "Now as you all know Mr Smith had sadly left us last year, so I am excited to announce that we have a new tutor coming to join us this year. There was a lot of commotion around the class, loads of chattering too. Martina, Martha's daughter was sitting next to Cynthia. They have been best friends since nursery, so they have always had the same ideas for everything. "I so hope our new form teacher is gonna be good looking, and totally fit!" Cynthia said, Martina agreed "like Mr Smith, remember?" They both slid down in their seats sighing happily. "Anyway who ever it is please let it be someone I know I'll like!, Male or Female!" "Yeah because we know you love a bit of both don't ya!" Antony Laughed. Antony was one of them boys in class where he would take the piss out of you no matter what. "Oh shut up Antony, your just jealous because she would never go out with an ugly sod like you!" Martina yelled back at him, the whole class laughed in agony and pointed at him. Martina looked back at Cynthia and they smiled at each other.

"Now Now class settle down, please welcome your new form tutor...... Miss Oswald!" Cynthia's face dropped, In front of her Clara wore a beige suit with a black tie and had a sactual. All the boys were crossing between their legs, Martina rolled her eyes at them as she turned back to face the front. Cynthia couldn't believe what she was seeing, even Martina looked shocked. "No,No , No why you?! Anyone but not you!" she whispers harshly. As Clara looks around the class, she makes eye contact with Cynthia. Clara's eyes beam as she quickly looks away clearing her throat and begins to talk to the class. "Good Morning everyone as you know i'm Miss Oswald and i'm going to be with you for the rest of the year. Now as I'm new here how about we all get to know each other".

20 minutes later the bell rang all of the boys couldn't keep their eyes of Clara as they walked out of form to go to their first lesson. "Martina could you go on while I talk to Clara for a minute" She whispered to her while packing her things. Martina nodded and headed out the door. They were now alone. "Clara!, what the hell?!, when did you become a teacher at thi- my school?!" Clara paused from writing on the board for her history class, and turned to look at Cynthia. "I started working here today obviously and besides you remember I got my degree in teaching English and History I came from my Uni last week to collect it and The Doctor-" "Wait!, my dad knows about this ?!" she interrupted her. Clara scoffed, well why wouldn't he, he's the one that got me the job." she said while going back to writing on the board. Cynthia frowned "Wait, then why didn't he tell me?" "You'd have to ask him yourself, I'm sorry Ci Ci my class is waiting outside please just go to your next lesson. You can meet me in the staff room after school me and your dad will talk about it then" Clara ushered her to the door. Cynthia shrugged her off her shoulders and looked back at her, "Don't ever call me Ci Ci again, only my dad gets to call me that, and my mum." A tear falls down her eye as she walks out of the room to her English class.

1:55pm

It was 5 minutes till break ends, Cynthia was by her locker, crying. " oh mummy i'm trying, I really am, it's hard without you. Dad?, well I don't even know who he is anymore. It's always about Clara, what she needs, what she wants, never about me. There getting married you know, another thing they never told me, this was a few months back now. I had to find out from Martha! Life was sooooo much easier back then, I miss the old days mum, I really do. When we met Clara about 5 years ago now, it was like he was never married to you. It was like he had fallen into a trance, he had fallen in love with Clara after she help him save me from danger, which I will always be thankful for!. But since I turned 13, it's like we weren't even related, he's forgotten mummy, mum he's forgotten". A tear drop fell onto the picture she was holding of her mum- River, when she was a baby and a picture of her before she died.
