My safety blanket

Chapter 3

"Goodmorning lovely" Hailey smiled as I walked over to her and Lilly.

"Morning lovelies" I smiled back the best I could.

"How are you?" Lilly asked with a a worried face.

I hated them feeling sorry for me, they lost a friend too. It's not all about me. I'm fine.

"Please, don't feel sorry for me or treat me differently. Things happen and your life goes on. I'm over people giving my sympathy, I don't deserve it. Please just treat me like before and stop acting as though I'm a disabled human being who needs someone to hold their hand and cry. I'm perfectly fine. You two are all I have now and I don't think I'd be able to cope with my only two friends treating me the same as everyone else, making me feel bad because you will all drop anything to make sure I'm fine which I am. I love you both and I'm thankful for everything you do for me but I'm fine." I smiled at the end trying to persuade them that I'm fine even though I'm not, but it'll get them off my case at least.

"We're sorry Nic. Just remember we're always her for you! No matter what." Hailey said getting up and giving me a quick hug.

"Thank you" I said hugging her back and hugging Lilly.

"So what did you get up to last night?" Lilly asked breaking the awkwardness that was occurring.

"Oh not much.. Just the usual. Movies, homework twitter and tumblr."

There's no way I was going to mention Zayn.

They aren't fans like Tiarna and I but this is something I can keep to myself without more people hassling me about things. This is something I was going to keep a secret.

"It was a bit boring actually. What did you two get up to?"

As soon as I asked them, their faces lit up.

"You should've seen the hottie we met last night. Smoking. Like mmm, hey baby boy."

Lilly started, when the girls say 'hey baby boy' you know they're serious when they say they're attractive like they're wow.

I sat across from them at the table and let them tell me their story as they continued to get more excited about it.

"I'm starving.." Hailey complained as we waited in the canteen line at lunch.

"I'm just gonna go to the wee I can't hold it any longer. I'll meet you at the table." I said quickly before running off to the clean senior toilets.

"I'm so glad that bitch is dead. I couldn't stand her. She was annoying. Now we have to put up with the other loser. Hopefully I can sought her out since she hasn't got her pesty little rodent by her side fighting her battles for her." I heard two girls talking and giggled as I walked towards the bathrooms. I hid behind the wall before turning to corner to hear it was Samantha and her friend Melissa.

I wanted to barge in their and hit them so hard. How dare they say that about my best friend. They didn't know her, how could they judge such an innocent person?

Just as I was about to run in and slap them I heard Hailey call me.

"Nicole.. Are you ok?"

I looked at her and faintly smiled. "Perfect" I continued walking into the bathroom and went straight to the cubical before Samantha could see me.

"Anyway. Don't worry about Nicole, I'll make sure she gets into order." I heard Samantha laugh and they were gone.

I hate school and girls.
