Changing Everything

Chapter 11

"Leila has been bullying you?" Mademoiselle Amberjack asked incredulously.

"Yes she just stole my phone and showed all my photos to the class," Jodie sniffed, "its not the first thing she has done either. She's always saying nasty things to me and putting me down. I think she's jealous that I met One Direction last night and she didn't."

Mademoiselle Amberjack turned to me "Is this true?"

"No Miss, not at all. In fact its the other way round. I met One Direction last night and Jodie has been the one bitching at me all the time." I was angry now. Very angry. How dare she? She is the one who has been picking on me since the beginning of school. She is not the one who met One Direction last night, I AM!

"I have had it up to here with this class and One Direction, especially you three!" my teacher shrieked while waving her arms around and pointing at myself and my two best friends. "And mind your language young lady, you're already in enough trouble."

"But Mademoiselle Amberjack I haven't done anything its Jodie-"

"Enough Leila. Get out of my classroom, I will not condone bullying. Take your bag and get to the head teachers office immediately." I stared at her with my mouth hanging open. I turned to speak to Madison and Jenna but before I could I was cut off by "Madison Lovejoy and Jenna Tillborne, if you so much as speak one word to Leila you will also be joining her in the head teachers office." With a mischievous glint in their eyes both Madison and Jenna then opened their mouths to speak.

"Don't bother girls, its not worth it. Don't wait around after school either I guess I'll be here a while. I'll text you when I am home." And with that I left the class room with one last murderous look at the obnoxious Jodie. She looked pleased with herself. We'll see how pleased you are when I prove you're a liar you silly cretin I thought to myself.

 

Two hours later I was walking home from school thinking about the last few hours. How had  Mademoiselle Amberjack not seen straight through Jodie's lies? Was she really that stupid? Yes was the answer to that. Why would Jodie make up such a vindictive story that I'd been bullying her, I mean I know she dislikes me but to go as far as she did... She crossed a line today. Hell, she crossed the line and ended up in Australia! 

The head teacher, Mr Baker had waffled on for two hours after I arrived at his office, about the priorities of the school, "the high standards that must be upheld", he even dared to tell me that what I was doing to poor Jodie was harassment and if it continued the police could get involved. It was ridiculous! At first I had tried to explain my side of the story and make him understand but after the first 30 minutes I gave in and just nodded along with the occasional input of "yes" or "umm". I drifted off in to my own little world and began reliving the events of last night at one point. The way Niall held my hand, the way Liam smiled at me, how I'd caught Jenna and Louis snogging and how Madison had been all cozy with Harry. Be that as it may be but I was quickly pulled kicking and screaming back to reality when Mr Barker's door creaked open and in walked  Mademoiselle Amberjack. I had been too lost in my own world to here the rapid knock that came at the door. She then retold the whole debacle of how she found me on my chair in class to Mr Barker and she repeated the exact same speech he had just given me and then he repeated it, yet again. By the time I left his office I was ready for shattering a couple of shatterproof rulers over their heads.

I decided to text Madison and Jenna to let them know I had escaped: I'm out and alive... Barely. It was then that I noticed at 4:15 I had received a  message from Liam. It was now nearly 5:30, oh boy my mum was going to kill me for being late. As I came to the road I looked left and right before crossing the road like my parents had taught me to when I was little. I set off across the empty road and opened the message while walking. My stomach was doing cartwheels while the message seemed to take hours to open. Finally, the message it did and I read Hi Leila, so glad I met you last night. Wanna - and that's when I heard it. The screeching of tires. I looked up and saw a black car spin around the street corner. Now I'm no expert on cars but even I knew a Lamborghini when I saw one! I caught sight of the badge on the bonnet right before it slammed in to me. The last thing I remember was thinking that I was going to die.
