Miracles

Chapter 8

Okay, today wasn't that bad. Like, despite what happened in the morning it was a pretty good day. Nothing else awkward and unexpected happened apart from me walking right into my ex. Literally, I wasn't looking and when I turned round he was in front of me. I didn't mind, neither did he.

I spoke too soon because we just saw Ellie in the shop. She stopped and looked at me with her dragon eyes. She walked over to me. What does she want now...

"Ew, I saw you smile at Callum today when u were giving the books out. What the actual hell are you doing? He doesn't like you, back off you ming." Snarled Ellie. I looked at her mates, all huddled together. I heard them whispering too.

"Oh my gosh, what a slag! Ew, how dare she smile at him. She's so ugly, why would he like her?" They whimper to each other. Normally comments of stupid girls like this don't bother me. But one imparticular one did. Slag. How does smiling at him make me a slag? I'm not upset, I'm annoyed.

"Yeah, so? I'm being nice, unlike you. You're saying he doesn't like me when you seriously need to hear yourself talking. You do realise you sound so horrible saying all this, all of you. I don't think he would like someone like that to be honest." I reply, proud of myself in defence.

"Yeah, and all you bitches need to shut up. You're all so pathetic! C'mon Scarl, let's get away from them." Shouted Alice, helping me out. We walk away, arms linked. When we turn around Callum was there. He was looking at me, I just looked away. I hope he didn't hear all that.

I've always been scared of Ellie Suthers. I'm not anymore, but in year 5 when my mum died, she would always laugh. Why would you laugh about something so serious? She's disgusting. She started to pick on me and Alice up until year 7. In year 8 it was teasing, but I didn't care.

After my mum died I got a bit depressed, Alice had never been closer to me then. I started to self harm but she encouraged me to stop. I've been clean for nearly 2 years now. I suppose I've give up. I'm happy now, I'm happy with dad, I'm happy with Alice, I'm happy with school... Sometimes. And I know my mums always watching over me. I bet she's like 'Oh wow, she's finally defending herself! You go girl!' I really miss her.

When me and Alice separate, I walk faster. I just want to get in and see my dad. I just want to lie down and eat. Ugh.

Ok guys so this chapter turned kinda emotional, I'm sorry. But I need more things to add in so I wanted to make it more sad, so Scarlett isn't just an awkward teen. She has secrets and scars.

Anyway carry on reading and tysmmmm byee :))
