In The Rain

Chapter 11

By now Sairah just wanted to go home. "Everyone else went home already Leigh-Anne. Can't you just admit that she's fake so we can follow their footsteps? I'm tired and hungry." She whined where she sat next to Leigh-Anne. The younger girl had her phone. She had snatched it before they came here. Sairah was surprised that she was still alive without it.

Leigh only shook her head. "She's coming and that's that." She had been given the title of Vice-Secretary prefect today and that was the only thing putting her in a good mood. Other than that her day had been awful. She had still been drowsy from what Jesy gave to her and on top of that Lilly had gotten her period the night before and decided to show off today. For some reason her boasting caused all other girls who had gotten theirs to start saying so and also boast. They had a clique now. They called themselves 'women' and started picking on people who were 'behind'. Girls who at least wore training bras were safe but people like her, Jade and Perrie were not. Perrie had tried to lie about getting hers but everyone saw right through her as the blonde apparently did not know what a period was.

Lilly had picked on Leigh all day and started telling people that they had voted for an 'immature little girl' as their head girl. That started back more teasing for Leigh. She had been so out of it that she could not even remember what people had been saying. I've really got to get Jesy back for this. Ms Davis had been concerned so she had told her that she took NyQuil. That startled the teacher but Leigh could not remember what she had been saying to her.

Rain started falling at that moment.

"Oh f*ck. Look at what you did now. It's raining and I didn't carry a f*cking umbrella. Thanks a lot Leigh-Anne. You're number one." Sairah folded her arms and huffed.

Leigh smiled and stood. "That means that she's coming." She ran to look up the side walk for her friend but saw no one. "Hmm I'll give 'er a bit more time." She went to sit back next to her sister, swinging her legs.

Sairah was looking down at Leigh in disgust. "You're like . . . the weirdest person I've ever met. And I know weird people." She was chewing gum. She pulled it out of her mouth and stuck it behind Leigh's ear.

Leigh-Anne screamed and punched her. "And you call me gross? Ew!" She removed it and tried sticking it on Sairah's nose.

They started fighting at that moment just when the sound of skipping footsteps started.

"And she's here despite the weath- gaah! Why are there two of you??" Jesy was standing in front of the squabbling sisters. She was trying to comprehend what she was looking at. There was never anyone here with Leigh when she came. Was she missing something?

Leigh-Anne stopped fighting Sairah to look at Jesy. She smiled and hopped to her feet. "Jesy!" She hugged the girl tight. "Jesy I'm so happy you came!"

Jesy rubbed Leigh's back while staring at the other her. "Dafuq? Who's that?"

Sairah's mouth hung open. "What the actual f*ck?" She stared at the little girl frowning at her that her sister was hugging. On their way here, Leigh had described 'Jesy' in detail. She had said that she had bright eyes that changed colour from gold to green to brown and an in between shade. She'd said that the girl had brown curly hair and 'cute little' teeth along with freckles spread across her nose. Her little sister had said that Jesy was her height and had 'cute' cheeks. She emphasized that Jesy always wore a green uniform and spoke like a cartoon character. Sairah had laughed hard at her finding the description to sound exactly like an imaginary friend but now she was seeing it for herself. That was exactly how Jesy looked . . . and she was apparently real!

After Leigh let go Jesy walked up to the new girl. "Who's she?" She looked at Leigh for an answer, pointing at the look alike who was taller.

Leigh smiled and clapped her hands. "She's my sister. Her name is Sairah. Sairah in your face! Jesy's real! Jesy tell her that you're real. She didn't want to believe me since she's as dumb as mud." She was dancing as she sang a victory song.
