The Boys With Coloured Hair

Chapter 18

I stormed out of the detention and everyone followed. Mark was the last one out and slammed the door nearly taking it off his hinges. I screamed and ran through the gates all the way back home. I opened the door and ran to my room.
"You're back early." She laughed. I carried on moving up the stairs followed by everyone including mom. Tears streamed out of my eyes.
"What's wrong?" Mom asked sitting on the edge of my bed.
"Mom what happened to Dad?" I asked
"Honey ple--"
"Mom. What happened?"
"He died in his Military training."
"Truth!" I snapped
"He did."
"He killed himself didn't he?" I asked. I never felt so weak in my life.
"Who told you?"
"Marchant"
"Why?!" I told her everything that happened. She burst out the room and in the car.
"We'll leave you to it" Liz said leaving with Dan and Phil. Jack and Mark sat on my bed hugging me.
"I'm not going in tomorrow!" I said
"Don't let him get to you." Jack whispered
"Yeah, it's your favourite day, we got art." Mark told me. I smiled weakly.
"Fine." I agreed. All three of us sat there huddled in a ball. I felt safe.

"He wasn't there." My mom said coming back in my room.
"It's fine." I smiled
I went and had my tea and asked if Jack could stay. She agreed and we spent the rest of the day in my room. I soon fell asleep and I heard Jack creep downstairs as I fell asleep.

"Today we will need you all to take pictures and edit them using photoshop. Lydia you can have the camera first." My art teacher smiled
"Thanks Miss" I dragged Mark and Jack out and took pictures of them.
"Thanks guys." I smiled uploading them to my laptop. I gave the camera to Liz and she took some photos. Art dragged on and on. It was so long. All we did was trace our face onto a tile. Next was maths. My blood boiled.

Everyone was laughing and talking on the school grounds at break. I wish I could do that. After break I headed to the maths room. Jack had one hand on my shoulder.
Half way through the lesson Kim thought a note to Marchant. Bad time too because the headmistress walked in.
"What's that?" She smiled
"Nothing." Sir said burning the note in his pocket.
"Lemme see." She demanded. He handed the not to her and she read it out loud. The whole class burst into a fit of laughter. All except Kim and Marchant.
Meet me at mine after school. ;)
"Oh my god! Who sent this?" Everyone pointed to Kim.
"Sir you wasn't planning on it were you?" She yelled
"Well..."
"What's this even about?" She questioned.
"Nothing just a joke." Sir lied looking over at me with a worried yet sorry face as if to say I'm sorry for yesterday please don't tell. I gave him a devilish smile. My arm raised in the air. Liz, Jack, Mark, Dan and Phil turned to me. They all nodded simultaneously.
