In Omnia Paratus (AU) - Book 2

Hate him

"Everything's fine." I told Lily calmly as she sat up in bed stressed out that she might have to go home for a while. "I spoke to mr brown. They're arranging a new dorm or the same dorm, so a wheelchair can be used. I promise you they want you back."

"Jenna are you serious because I have to go back to that school. I can't spend any time at home it's like going to hell." She complained glancing over at her mum and her sisters who were here because Lily was being discharged today.

There's nothing else they can do for Lily now.

"We're still roommates, we can still be normal." I said smiling at her.

"Well, not normal. Anyway I have to tell my mum and it's probably best you're not here. She hates that school and my roommates enough to lash out at you." Lily told me.

"Shall I send her in?" I asked gently.

"Yeah thank you." Lily smiled as I stood up and headed outside to tell her mum that she wanted to see her. I then walked off and went to find Matt, make sure he's alright.

"Lucy just text me, Eagles doing a double check." Lily panicked whispering to Jess and Matt as they panicked.

"What? We've got to get the boys out of here." Jess froze thinking things through in her head. "Guys, eagle, let's go." Jess said ushering them towards the door.

"Shit, he's already at the end of the corridor. He'll see them all leaving." Lily frowned.

"Uh, the window." Jess said leaning over and pulling it open.

"They can't climb out that." Lily scoffed.

"Sure they can, look." Jess demonstrated and stepped on the desk and flung herself out of the window. "Now come on." She took her boyfriends hand and he stepped out and the rest of the popular boys followed. Well all except Matt because he was too late.

"Miss James." The headmaster stepped inside the room and Lily sighed closing her eyes straight away.

"Always a pleasure sir." Lily mocked trying to hide Matt behind her but it was too obvious.

"Mr Smith, Miss James...my office now. Where's Jessica?" He asked looking around.

"Uhh, I-I don't know. Went for a walk?" Lily mumbled.

"Go wait in my office while I look for her. Now." He shouted and Lily jumped out of her skin and left the room with Matt to head to his office.

"Fuck, I'm in trouble. He's been waiting all year for this, he knows my parents. He wants me out of the school and now he has the chance." Lily panicked talking to Matt as they sat in his office nervously.

"We didn't do anything wrong other than stay up after curfew. He can't kick you out for that. It's Jess you should be worried about. They'll think she's been off campus and then she's done for." Matt frowned.

"This is my fault." Lily sighed.

"No, it's not." Matt laughed. "Jess pressured you to do this. None of us want to get in trouble lil."

"Whatever. All I know is that I've had one too many phone calls home and soon I'm out." She mumbled to herself nervously.

"I've learnt a bit about you recently." I hummed to Lily as she was dosing off for a nap.

"Oh yeah?" She said smiling gently over at me as she opened her eyes weakly.

"Yeah, like why you're at Ashford." I suggested.

"Well that's a story, who told you that?" She chuckled.

"Your mum. I learnt that you're not the badass popular girl I met last year." I laughed a little at her.

"Aren't I? I thought I was pretty tough?" Lily mumbled frowning at me.

"You never really got in trouble at school and when you did it wasn't your fault." I hummed gently. "I also learnt that you and the Eagle have a history. He wasn't always mean to you? Something you want to share?" I raised my eyebrows at her as she laughed at me.

"The eagle... Ha ok." Lily chuckled to herself. "He used to look out for me, when he found out my parents were trying to get me out of that school. He thought he could stop me stepping out of line and being kicked out."

"So he wasn't picking on you?"

"No, he was giving me special treatment because he knew I had talent. Though, I took it the wrong way." She smiled.

"Of course you did, it's you." I rolled my eyes. "Why haven't we talked about this before? You know everything about me. I hardly know anything about your life before me." I said slowly.

"I do not know anything about you. I don't even know the name of your previous school, or why you decided to leave all of a sudden." Lily exclaimed.

"I've told you a million times." I scoffed.

"I can't believe she was kicked out. It was 10:30! Even if she was off campus, that's half an hour late, who cares? We've been late before and we've never been kicked out." Lily shouted at Matt angrily as she found out the news that Jess was leaving.

"Well Lily apparently they found out she was doing drugs. Did you have any idea?" He asked her.

"Pfft. What a load of bullshit Jess wouldn't do drugs. Sure she might of been depressed a little bit because of her adoptive parents but no where near drugs." Lily scoffed.

"Well maybe it was more serious than you thought." Matt hummed trying to calm her down.

"Maybe. I just can't believe this. Now I have to have another new roommate next year. I'm so done with this school! And the eagle! Ugh I hate him." Lily shrieked annoyed.

"I'm sure the new roommate will be fine and stay longer than a year this time." Matt joked.

"Really? Because I've been here 3 years and had 5 roommates. It's ridiculous." Lily moaned.

"I've had the same roommate every year." Matt laughed.

"Exactly. I'm not even going to try with this next one. She's just ought to stay out of my life." Lily shouted annoyed.
