The boys and I

Chapter Six - Who's This Then?

Time skip a month

This is the last day of my "home week" as my "father" calls it. So far London has been amazing this is the first time I'm back living with my father and it's been the worst not only did he beat me and punish me for looking like I do now and having new hair and clothes but for also because I was happy. For once in my life I was happy and he still has to ruin that for me this week has been the worst and the boys can tell something is up with the bruises and cuts randomly showing up on me. But I just brush them off and say it's fine, Josh on the other hand is more persistent yesterday I caught him following me on my walk "home" I can't blame him I would be worried to but I told him it was nothing and he left it at that as far as I'm aware. Anyway I'm currently getting ready for school. I leave the house way before anyone else seeing as my school is in the heart of London and dad lives on the outskirts of it. I have a quick shower wash myself and hair and shave my legs and air pits then Get out and dry myself off and put on my school skirt and sports top and a black Nike hoodie then dry my hair and apply my makeup and do my classic half up half down hairdo. Then I walk back to my "room" more like cupboard again and get my school things and put on my black and white old skool vans I then check my self in the full length mirror on the back of the door that I look okay and play around with my skirt until I'm happy with where it sits which it just above the middle of my thighs. I then take my bag with me down stairs and grab an apple and make my way to the front door then lock it and wait for the cab that I called to come pick me up

Skipping journey to school

I get to school nice and early like every day 8:36 on the dot. I walk through the entrance and down past the basketball courts where a group of guys is hanging out then down past the quad the massive square that everyone packs them selfs into during lunch then I make my way to the office and pay for the upcoming play for our English class after about 10 minutes of waiting I'm at the front of the line
"Hello Scarlette dear, what can I help you with today," says the office lady I feel bad because I can never remember her name
"Hello I would just like to pay for my English excursion," I say my thick Aussie accent showing through her British one
"Sure thing love," she says smiling. I was patient as she pulls my name up and does all of the things she needs to do I can pay
"That will be $25," she says as I hand her the money just then I hear two people come through the door I turn and see Harry and Simon walk through the door with the principal following them. I smirk to myself as I see them and then they both noticed me and waved saying "morning Scar" smiling at me I turn my attention back to the office lady as she hands me my recipe for my payment. "Have a great day Scarlette?" she says to me I smile in return and walk over to Harry and Simon who are both waiting out the front of the principal's office
"What ya do this time?" I ask them
"Well numb nuts though it would be a great idea to pass the ball around near where we sit and well.......you know that um," Simon says
"We broke the window again" Harry just says flatly
"For the third time," I ask giggling at them
"It was his fault," they both say pointing at each other making me giggle even more
"So what is he going to do about it?" I ask them
"This time he said we have to pay for it by joining a club at school and not the sports ones the 'academic' ones" Harry say with his hand gestures making me laugh
"So... wait you are in a skirt?" Simon says pointing at my skirt
"Of course it's Wednesday my dudes, and on Wednesday i wear skirts"I say making them laugh
"You are so lame," Simon says
"No, you just didn't," Harry says jumping up and grabbing a hold of me and lifting me up into his shoulder.
"Harryyyyy I'm in a skirt, Simons probably staring at my ass right now" I say annoyed but giggling
"Oi I'm not that much of a perv" simon says
"But you admit you are a perv" I say laughing
"I'm not a perv" he says quite loudly
Just then the principal walks out of his room and Harry and I both stop immediately and he lets me down off his shoulder
"Awkward" Harry says under his breath making me giggle and cover my mouth
"Miss Jackson what a pleasure to see you again just wish it wasn't under these circumstances," he says with his gruff voice and looks over at Harry and Simon as I stand there blushing and fixing my skirt
"Um you too sir," I say standing there awkwardly
"Off to class Scarlette while I have a word to these two again," he says sighing "yes sir" I say rushing off waving bye to the boys then make my way to our table at the back of the school next to the soccer goal and the tree line and the school hall/gym
"SCARLETTE"' I hear them all yell my name as I'm about 2 meters away
"BOYS," I say smirking back at them
