Chapter 3- Truth At Last?!

Jessica's P.O.V-

It has been almost a month and still no sign of interest from Walid, Amina has been so.. cautious of both Nat and I for the last few days. Everytime we're discussing plans or even discussing boys, she would sit there in the cornor looking like she was stuck in some sort of daydream, scared if either Nat and I were to distract her- and end up getting her stuck in another dimension. I don't care if I hurt Amina's feelings! If I don't get Walid's attention or even interest in the next few weeks, I'm ditching this Hopeless case!

Anyhow, Talking of boys. Nat and I were invited to Kurt Leighton's Sweet sixteen!! I hear he throws the most AMAZING parties, but ofcourse he would seeing as his parents are like both gazillionares! Kurt's not only known for his OTT Parties, but also his to die for looks. Boys want to be him and girls want to date him. 

"....Photosynthesis...appears in two stages...JESSICA!" Miss.Kaylis Grinned pausing her talk on Photosynthesis and turning to lean on my front desk. her face inches away from mine. "Care to share why your focus isn't on my beautiful face and very much needed revision sheet?!" She said smiling raising both her eyebrow. With her face being frightenly close to mine, I could see up her hairy pointy nose and through her wide nostrils. Miss.Kaylis was a fragile old lady and sometimes I wonder why she bothers teaching a bunch of lazy teens, maybe the job pays well? Beats me.

"Huh,Oh ERM I dunno..." I said leaning back and sinking into my chair. "Eyes on the sheet!"She said before turning away and continuing her lecture, returning that distant buzz of her voice faint and still lingering in the air.

Natasha's P.O.V-

3 a.m-

"... Leigh stop it! .... This job is providing a better life for us all... No! you don't understand... I refuse to sit on my bum, when I'm able to provide and your bloody heavily pregnant!..." I turned on my side, ignoring the familiar,hushed voices of both my parents. The wall opposite of mine, was very thin and I could almost ALWAYS make out every word said of my parents money or job related arguments. Money has been tight and the biggest problem of all Mum's expecting a 3rd child. So far it's only my elder brother, Will and I. The 2 bedroom flat isn't big enough for 3, I doubt it would be big enough for 4! Mum doesn't have the spare cash to send Dad out to work with the right equipment, She says its better off waiting on the Welfare check.

"Will you stop all this RACKET LEIGH!" Dad boomed as his feet pounded out into the cramped hall. I sat up in bed and peered over at Will to see if he had taken notice of all the hustle. "Typical!" I thought, we'd always joked that he could sleep through a hurricane if he'd pleased. Will's 17yrs, only a year older than me and If we were to have been twins- I would've been a day older! He graduated from High school and since then he's stopped using his brain and commonsense, life for him is- Party,Sleep,Get Drunk and all OVER AGAIN (I can officially say:Like brother, Like sister!) Will promised Mum he would stop drinking, A promise broken several times. Quick Summary- I have A PartyALLNIGHT-Wild Child Of a Brother, A Hibernating Heavily pregnant Mother and A MrFixIt ImANEpicFail Of a Dad!! So, It's safe to say.. MY FAMILY'S DYSFUNCTIONAL.

9.am-

"Nat, you look... awful. Not in a bad way! Your make-ups fine and so's your hair, it's just.. you look so tired and your eyes are pretty damn red" Jessica said looking at me up and down her eyebrows raised with what she'd call 'Concern' (More like a laughing sneer look) . "Thanks" I said sarcastically with a bland tone. I speed-walked into the girls toilets, closely followed by Jessica. "So, wanna get ready at mine for Kurt's place?"Jessica said hanging her Hood over one of the cubicle doors. "Um,I dunno. Is Amina coming?" I asked leaning towards the mirror and applying a thin layer of mascara onto my left eyelash. I heard Jessica's shuffling feet stop almost immediately at the mention of Amina's Name. "Why d'you have to be so obsessed with Amina for! You do bloody realize were not really suppose to be friends with her?"Jessica said anger coming out in her choice of words, her face turning a light peachy color then fading after realizing that I wasn't in the mood to put up with her temper tantrums.

"Maybe...-" I began, then pausing for a few seconds to place the mascara down and turn to face her my arms crossed, my face expressionless."I don't want to be apart of this pointless scam! Also, maybe I don't want to be the lost sheep and have to follow you around whilst you make someones whole life fall apart into pieces" I said trying hard to keep my voice from cracking with anger and my eyes not to flood with tears. At that moment, the whole room swirled round and round as if in a never-ending portal were all my bad days are replayed over and over again. "Will you stop all this RACKET LEIGH!" Dad's loud voice hissed in my ear, replaying his and mum's argument from this morning. My head began to feel light and my knee's were close to giving out, the only thing holding me up was the determination not to let Jessica's harsh choice of words and Mum and Dad's pointless arguments put me at risk of slowly growing mad... But, that saying soon went flying out of the window when I fell immediately to the hard toilet floors. Taking one last glimpse of Jessica's concerned eyes looking down at me... Everything went dark.

Amina's P.O.V-

4-30pm-

"Gosh, where is she?!" I muttered to myself forcing my fingers to call Nat's number for the 100th and last time. The call went straight to voice mail,  this is when I decided to move from where I stood at the school gate to wait for Natasha and Jessica and to the school office to see if they had decided to join any other after-school clubs I wasn't informed of. 

The school was dark and empty by now, the students had all piled out of the school together only those who had after-school activities and a few teachers remained. "Okay, thank you" I said smiling at the receptionist then turning away to make my way back towards the school gate. The lady had informed me that Natasha had signed out as ill and went home earlier than normal, where as Jessica had been dismissed with the rest of the students. In other words, Natasha's Ill and I ought to pay her a visit and Jessica has decided to ditch me. But who cares, I never really would like to walk home alone with Jessica.. far too awkward.

"Uh, why are you home at..-" Auntie Farah said placing her hands on her hips, then pausing to look down at her watch."5pm!" She continued shaking her head with disbelief. "Uhh, Would Homework Club convince you?" I said smiling sweetly at her. Auntie Farah half grunted and half laughed then walked out of my bedroom muttering "God give me strength" Under her breath, but still loud enough to hear.

I collapsed on my bed and began to wonder how an earth Auntie would let me visit Nat now? She'd been acting more... Advisy (if thats a word). Ever since she saw my wardrobe change from long skirts to skinny jeans and jeggigns. She's been more concerned of my whereabouts and thinks everyone is a bad influence to me, but still she can't stop me from hanging with 2- well 1 of my closest friend.

hey Everybody I hope you like this chapter :D <3 please comment vote read the usual thank you soo much :)
