Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 69

I woke up to my alarm and then let out a groan when I realised that I had school. It was 6am and I had roughly 2 hours of sleep last night. Not only could I not adjust to the time change since coming back from America, I was worried sick about Geo. Luckily it's 1am where he is currently so he'll still be sleeping. But in 10 hours I'll know whether he's claimed guilty or not. 

I changed into my ugly school uniform, grabbed my backpack and then went to have breakfast. I sat next to my mum who was reading the newspaper but quickly looked up at me when I took a bite of my apple.

"You must be so excited!" She squealed. Looks like she's in a good mood today.

"Yeah.." I sighed. It was obvious I wasn't. 

After I ate I walked towards the bus stop as slowly as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone in my year knows about a lot of things which I've gone through whilst in America. I then sighed sadly when I saw a bunch of kids from my school and stood behind them, praying that nobody would see me. 

"Oh my god.. Lucy?"

I jumped in shock and then looked up to see a few girls in my class tower over me with faces full of surprise. I gave them a week smile and then looked back down, focusing my gaze on my phone. 

"I heard about what happened in America." One of the girls informed.

"Cool." I murmured. I didn't dare to look back up at them, I was too scared to see what dirty faces they were giving me. 

"I'm so sorry about Geo.."

I then looked at them with a face as if to say "really?". These girls gave me nothing but hell whilst I was in this school and now they're saying sorry? Is this some sort of act?

Luckily the bus came before they could say anything else to remind me how heart broken I am. I walked past them and quickly jumped on the bus, leaning my head against the seat the second I sat down whilst closing my eyes. 

"Hey.. mind if I sit here?"

In annoyance, I opened my eyes to see a stunning girl look at me with a face full of concern. She was mixed race and had beautiful black, wavy hair and dark blue eyes. I nodded, shocked that anyone would want to sit by me and then put my bag off the spare seat.

"I'm Isla." She smiled, putting her hand out for me to shake it. I stared at it for a while and then grabbed her hand, slowly shaking it. She let out a giggle and afterwords let go. "Are you new?"

I shook my head. "I was an old year 10. I'm year 11 now."

"Oh!" Isla gasped, "same! I'm sorry.. I haven't seen you!"

I laughed and then shook my head. "It's fine." I was about to say I haven't seen her too but I quickly stopped myself. I don't want to come across as rude. 

"I usually sit next to my boyfriend but he's decided to sit next to his friends today." Isla sighed, slumping down in a strop. I looked at her in amusement. 

"My boyfriends in court if that makes you feel any better."

I felt my cheeks burn in embarrassment when I realised how weird I sounded. Isla stared at me for a while but then exploded into giggles. 

She then eventually stopped and looked at me seriously. "How come though?"

"Oh um I'm not really sure." I stammered, staring at my hands which were fiddling with my backpack. 

Isla stared at me for a while but then shrugged and looked forwards. "Well I wish him good luck. Unless he killed someone or something. Then I wish he ends up in jail."

I gave her an obvious forced smile and then grabbed out my phone to text Geo.

Good luck xx
