It's Only Gossip

20

I feel like I need to be somewhere. Oh yeah, school. The light is too bright for my likings, why can't school be during the night?

I turn to my right to see that Aura is not in her bed. Her bed is so tidy so I'm guessing she left early for that anonymous advice system. Honestly, I think I'm the worst person to give advice but I have given advice yesterday... I was being generous. If I was part of that anonymous advice system I'd probably reply back to them saying, "Stop crying" etc. So it's best I'm not part of it.

I go into the shower carefully choosing which shower gel I should use. I love them all. Last year when my friends gifted me with shower gels and perfumes, it was perfect. I have to admit, I still do wonder whether they're gifted me with a lot of shower gels and perfumes because maybe they thought I stunk... I decide to use one of the shower gels I got from the body shop.

After I finish my shower, I put on my casual/smart clothing and look in the mirror for a while. My hair's always so casual, I don't straighten or curl it. I want to do something different. So I grab the curler and attempt to curl my hair.

I failed.

Epically.

I...

I'll survive.

Although I look like a lion with ugly curls, there's no backing down now, I have to be in school within five minutes. That's not enough time to wash my hair again or straighten it as well as running to school. I don't run. I walk.

Maths is my first lesson. As I walk in the classroom I catch a glimpse of Mads and Mr Pepe talking outside the classroom. I ignore them as it's actually none of my business but that's not what I was thinking yesterday.

I sit in the seat behind Josh. I like Josh, he's nice. I don't know why but I'm in the mood to socialize.

"Hey Josh!" I smile.

Wow, that's so unusual. Me? Smiling? I've officially lost it.

He turns around. "Hey Levi! Want some lindor?" He kindly offers the chocolate.

It's the original lindor chocolate, how could I resist? The beautiful chocolate with melted chocolate in middle is perfection. Eagerly, I nod my head as I shoot him a huge grin. He chuckles and hands me a couple! I thought he was only going to give me one but he gives me five woah! That's expensive chocolate as well, he's so nice! I remember when he gave Mads and I sensations crisps when her belly was erupting. I like that phrase Aura used.

"Can I ask you something?" Josh tilts his head at me as if he's predicting my answer.

That question is not likable at all.

"Sure." I nod my head.

"Don't be offended okay but is it true that you're poor?" His eyes widening in curiosity as he stares at my imperfect curls.

"Poor?" I ask in disbelief.

Okay this is a rich school and everything but I wouldn't consider myself as poor, compared to them. I can feel my throat drying as I want to lose it. I need water. Quickly, I take out my bottle to drink some water.

"Yeah, poor as in you can only afford those £1 chicken and chips boxes for lunch."

I spit out the water. "What?" I'm speechless.

I take another long sip.

"Do you also reuse your water bottle as well? I can tell because you've been drinking the same one all week."

I spit out the water again but this time in his face, not regretting a single thing. "I reuse plastic bottles because it's less damaging to the environment."

He shrugs, "Well you didn't answer the chicken and chips question."

I begin to laugh like a pure maniac as I can't believe what he is asking. Seriously, being rich surely wouldn't make you ignorant but right now he is being a stereotypical snob. I thought I liked him.

Wait, no wonder he gave me more than one chocolate! He felt pity for me. It makes sense. People don't just do nice things for no reason. As much as I love lindor, I throw the chocolates at him.

He looks at me in confusion but I smile back, "I can afford chocolate." Then I throw the last one at him.

Damn, I should've ate one.

He looks at me all defensive, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have believed Laura and Abigail." He apologises.

Laura and Abigail, what a surprise.

Mads and sir walks in the classroom.

"Okay class, today we will be doing trigonometry." He announces.

I love trigonometry, this will keep me calm.
