Little Do You Know [JAGMAC/The Dumping Ground]

002 - Chapter Two

Eleanor and Jared spoke to each other until early morning hours. They spoke about their mutual love for Marvel and DC comics - already assigning themselves at Batgirl and Robin. They were already acting as though they were best friends.

Sadly, Eleanor was ripped away from her dreamless slumber by May-Li shouting that there was breakfast. She grumbled lightly before pulling the white bedsheets over her head. She honestly wasn't in the mood right now. All she wanted to do, was to sleep.

"Natty?" The familiar American accent of the boy that she met yesterday came from the doorway that was on the other side of the room.

She stayed silent as she closed her eyes, trying to get back to sleep. She then felt a slight dip at the side of her bed.

"Come on, please? I don't wanna go there alone!" Jared said lightly as he lifted the cover from over the young girl's head. She winced at the sudden exposure of light.

"Jared... Why..?" She whined quietly before sitting up in her bed.

"Because you're my Batgirl and Robin can't be Robin without Batgirl!" He exclaimed. "I won't be afraid to pick you up... Or tickle you."

This immediately woke up Eleanor from her half asleep daze. She hates being tickled. Actually, that's a lie. She absolutely adores being tickled. But it annoys her when its constant. You could say that Eleanor is like George Shelley being tickled.

"Okay. I'm up." She blurted out before beginning to tie her hair into a messy ponytail. She then pushed her legs out of her bed and looked at Jared.

"Well, are you coming then, Robin? We have the arcades today!" Eleanor grinned before walking to the door. Jared immediately stood and began to walk downstairs, towards the kitchen.

"Morning guys!" Mike exclaimed as he was setting out plates. It was a Saturday which was usually a full English breakfast day!

The kids all loved Mike's full English breakfast. Bacon, Egg, Sausages, Toast, Baked Beans and Black Pudding. It was mainly Mike's specialty. Even Mischief had some sausages that were left over! The younger kids (Harry, Floss, Mo, Toni and Billie) all had their breakfasts first and were now sat in the front room, watching CeeBeeBies special of A Midsummer's Night's Dream.

Jared and Eleanor both took seats beside each other at the table, before making conversation with the rest of the table. It was mainly about the Bowling trip later on.

Mainly, because Tee and Ryan were arguing.

"Does this happen alot?" Jared whispered lightly to Eleanor, a dry laugh escaping from her lips in response.

"A lot? It happens every second of every day. They absolutely despise each other." Eleanor replied as she stood up with the plates, carrying them to the sink and cleaning them.

"Is it your day to do chores?" He asks her.

Eleanor shook her head. "No." She replied as she continued to clean the dishes.

"How come you're doing them when you're not on the rota for today?" Jared asked.

"Because if I don't do them - nobody will. It's one of those things." She shrugged before finally finishing with the plates and cutlery. She then sat on the counter and let out a quiet hum.

"Well, we should get changed and ready." He replied before she nodded, getting up and walking to her bedroom. Eleanor quickly got changed into an outfit and posted a selfie, putting it on her personal Instagram account.
