The Cries

Chapter eleven

Claire walked out holding Miffy’s hand tightly “wow! That looks great!” Ruben said looking at her, she smiled weakly and kept walking. It felt weird not to have her thick hair on the back of her neck “oh great” She mumbled as she saw Saffron “wow! That looks so pretty!” Saffron said smiling at her “oh thanks” Claire said smiling back “pretty ugly!” She said laughing at the lame joke she just made, Claire felt horrible. Did it really look that bad? “just ignore her, I think it looks great” Paris said smiling at her “but you know what, that ugly hair cut actually suits you, because well hate to brake it to you but.. your ugly!” Saffron said bursting into laughter again “Say something like that again and your face will be up your own bum!” Claire screamed “Bring it on Midget!” Saffron snarled, Claire ran at her at and yanked her hair down to the ground hard making Saffron fall flat on her back “no! please not the hair!” Saffron whimpered, Claire sat on top of her and began getting as much saliva into her mouth as she could. She let her spit dribble from her mouth and slowly land onto Saffron’s nose and mouth “CLAIRE!” Jessica shouted “oh let them go on, this is really entertaining!” Andrew said smirking, Claire felt her whole weight be lifted as Jessica picked her up off Saffron “let me go!” She said trying to fight her way out of the strong grip of Jessica’s arms, Saffron got up off the ground and stared at her “want anther round?” Claire said snarling “BITCH!” Saffron yelled and stormed up to Andrew “AND YOUR NOT ANY BETTER YOU ASSHOLE!” Saffron punched him on the arm and run off sulking.

Claire knew Saffron deserved it. She was a really mean person; she had to do something that would make Saffron’s life hell to make sure she never bullied her again. She walked out to find Paris, she was smart she would have a good idea. Claire walked around to the front gate and found her looking out into the distance “hey Paris” Claire said, Paris jumped “sorry I wasn’t expecting anyone to come” she said “oh, well I was wondering if you would have any idea’s about… a, I mean in a book im righting… about a good revenge on someone in it?” Claire stumbled not knowing what to say “in other words you want revenge on Saffron but you just don’t want anyone to know” Paris said smirking slightly “NO!” Claire said defenceless “well I had and idea already planned” Paris said turning back to look out into the street again “really? Can you tell me” Claire said pleadingly, Paris began laughing and looked at her shaking her head. Claire stared at her until Paris had finally focused “okay, just chop her hair off… since she’s so obsessed with it” Paris said still giggling slightly; Claire was amazed at Paris’s plan. It was so smart, just destroy the thing she loves most. Claire ran off without saying another word, she quickly ran to the tree and grabbed the scissors. She should wait until it was nearly dark or when Saffron was having a nap. Claire jumped out of the tree and ran over to where Saffron sat. She carefully walked around the corner and noticed that she was already asleep. “Saffron?” She said, but there was no reply. Yep she’s definitely asleep.

Saffron opened her gluey eyes, she was so tired. She got up and realized that something was wrong, she felt onto the back of her neck but there was nothing there. Its okay I must just have it in a bun she thought trying to calm herself, then as she felt up her head she screamed. All her hair was gone! Claire! “CLAIRE WHERE ARE YOU! YOUR GONNA PAY!” She screamed running to where everyone went for breakfast. She looked around at everyone and they all started sniggering “nice ratty Saffron!” Ruben jeered, ratty? She felt along the back of her head and felt a small bit of hair that had been braided at the back of her head “SHUT UP RUBEN!” She ran towards him with her fist ready to fight, but Brook stepped in front of her. Brook was a lot taller than her and was looking pretty pissed off “fine. Im leaving! I don’t need you idiots anyway!” Saffron turned around and climbed up the tall fence “Saffron! Don’t!” Jessica called after her “its either your coming with me or you’re staying!” She shouted back, she knew her sister wouldn’t follow her so she kept climbing and once she got over the top she took a big drop to the ground. She began running as far as she could go or as far as her legs could take her, she was scared she hadn’t been alone in a while. Maybe she would find someone else to stay with.
