Far From Home

Chapter 3

Flossie P.O.V

What the fuck is she actually doing she's just sat there.Why won't she say anything?How can she leave me and she could aleast have told me.

"Ms June, you need to leave."

"Alex!"

"Ms June leave!"

"I'm fucking going."I stormed out of the classroom as fast as I could, I can't even put into words how angry I am.She's leaving on Friday and she hasn't told me yet.When was she expecting to tell me, 10 minutes before her plane left.

"Felicity, stop there."I sighed deeply as I suddenly stopped.Now I'm in the shit, I turned swiftly on my heels to become face to face with my headmaster.The man stood before me was small and plump, with a shiny, bald head. His face aged with worry and stress.I often find myself in detention, for multiple reasons, no homework,bad language, refusing to do work.Mr Martin let me go after 15 minutes, I guess either he couldn't stand me tapping on the table anymore or it was just the fact he couldn't keep me any longer than 15 minutes.I shrugged as I made my way down to the canteen, looking across the room I had two choices. I could walk past my bestfriend and sit with Maya or I could sit with her.After this morning I didn't really want to make a big fuss infront of everyone, most of the school already knows about this morning anyway.I decided to sit with Maya and as I chose my row to walk down, Alexis stood up and began walking towards me, fully focused on her conversation she didn't realise we were in the way of each other. One of us were going to have to move out of the way, standing my ground I carried on walking foward.Meeting in the middle, staring at each other, both waiting for the other to move.Tyler backing up Alex, he prompted her foward into me.With other bodies colliding and the awkwardness setting in as heads started to turn and look at us as if they were expecting a fight.I could see the tension in her eyes as she became center of attention, the anger from her body coiled up in her fists by her side.The moment quickly passed as Tyler grabbed her hand, pushing past me and out onto the main street of the school.Keeping my dignity, taking a deep breath, I joined my friends at one of the tables.Looking around, everyone had gone back to their normal routines, like nothing had even happened, I just can't believe that this is the way things turned out.

Alexis's P.O.V

What was she really expecting me to do?Maybe it was wrong for me not to tell her but everyone makes mistakes, right?Why didn't she move out of my way, it was easier for her to go back than for me.She's such a stubborn cow, why was I even friends with her.We still would be friends if she wasn't making a big deal out of nothing, I was going to tell her when I felt the time was right.I groaned as I let my head back to rest on the wall.I turned to Tyler, looking at him in complete disgust as he lifted a cigarette to his mouth feeding his horrible addiction.The rain falling gently from the sky as if God knew how I felt in that moment, Tyler wrapped his arm around my shoulders giving them a quick squeeze as I rested my head on his.Listening to his breathing, sending shivers down my spine.

"It will all work out."He whispered in my ear, I shook my head, nuzzling it into the crook of his neck.I bit my lip trying not to cry, but it was already to late, he'd seen the tears in my eyes.Steadily lifting my chin with his finger, looking straight into my eyes, his forehead resting on mine."It will, I promise." As if he'd timed it perfectly, the bell rang out for period 5.I took my seat in Physics next to Jamie-Lee to avoid confrontation with Flossie.She entered five minutes late for lesson, quickly taking the only seat left, which happened to be facing me.Her eyes puffy and red like she'd been crying, I returned to my work.A piece of folded up paper had made it's way around the room and ended up in-front of me, I turned to look at Leah, smiled at her and nodded my head.Leah is the wing-denfence of the netball team, well my netball team, seems as I am the captin of it.Leah would take my place as center, when I go to Brighton.

"Floss, please can you pass me that glue?" She didn't even move or acknowledge the fact I tried to communicate.

"Floss."

"Don't call me that."The only response I got from her, what did she exactly want me to call her, that was her name after all.

"Bitch-tits, pass the glue."Quickly taking her focus from her work, throwing me the glue and a dirty look she continued with her work.

"Stupid cow."Probably saying it louder than she expected to.

"Excuse me." By this point angry was the right adjective to use, I was furious.

"You heard."Mumbling under her breath so if something broke out her voice wasn't loud enough to be heard by anyone apart from me.The bell rang for the end of the day, out on the main street of the school, walking past her quickly and tripping her slightly.Landing on the floor with a thud, I smirked to myself as I made my way down to the changing rooms.It's not actually my fault the weight of her big head, doesn't balance out the weight of her body causing her to fall, simple physics really.

Smiling to myself as I walked up the lane to my house, surrounded by trees, full of lush green leaves fresh from summer.Soon they would turn into the colours of autumn, the air cold and crisp and the way the leaves crunched under your feet.Taking my shoes off at the door and making my way to the kitchen, the house filt with laughter.The source of this laughter? Leighton and Harry.They've been best friends for years now, and there's not a day that goes past, when Harry isn't in my house.Don't get me wrong, spending so much time with Harry is great but having the rest of the school drooling over him isn't that fun. I wouldn't say we're close but he's like a brother to me.

"Be carefull with that!" Maybe asking Leighton and Harry to help me pack my things was a bad idea, they make me so nervous something is definitely about to get broken.I turn my back for two minutes, two flipping minutes.

"Nice bra, Alex."I turned to see Harry dangling my black lace bra in-front of my face, I felt my cheeks burn with embarrassment, shrieking at the top of my lungs, chasing Harry around the house trying to retrieve my underwear.Gosh, how I hated him for making me run.I finally gave up once I'd reached the barn and collasped in a heap on the hay stack.My sight suddenly blinded by material covering my face, I gave out a sigh-smile as I removed my bra from my face.I felt Harry lay next to me, the musky smell of his cologne filling my senses.

"I hate you."

"Hate's a strong word."Chuckling to himself, he ran his fingers softly through his long-ish brown hair.

"Alright then, I strongly dislike you."I guess when you think about how many girls would die to be lay next Harry, and here I was lay next to him with no sexual intention whatsoever.I'm not gonna sit here and lie to you, tell you I think he's ugly.Because he's not, he's just my brother's best friend.

 Why did I pack so much stuff?I must look like a right idiot walking round the airport, I was getting on this flight with Harry,Tyler,Joe,Connor and Kendal.I'm so glad I decided to wear leggings and a long blue jumper, I hate girls who wear dresses, ten inch heels, and all the flipping jewellery they own, taking them five bloody hours to get through security, flirting with everyone and everything.

 "Mum, you promised."Untangling myself from my mum's protective arms, engulfing me not wanting to let go.

"I know, I know."Sniffling she wiped the tears from her eyes, loosening her grip from me.I looked at the woman who stood before me, the woman I admired and adored, my role model.

Flights to Brighton, terminal 3 now boarding

I felt my heart drop into my stomach, I can't do this, I can't. I felt my heart beating ten to the dozen, I felt sick.I felt some-one grab my hand and take me to the terminal, thankfully it was Tyler not some werido.I closed my eyes and sighed deeply as I was taken away from my home ground.You know that feeling you get when you know you're going to regret something, this was one of those times.I don't know if I can do this anymore?!
