Galway girl {Derry Girls}

Trust funds = No funds

"This is bloody painful" I said as I stood in assembly listening to Jenny and her choir friends sing

"Lovely girls yep lovely stuff" Sister Michaels said getting out of her chair

"Now before I dismiss ye for the weekend a few announcements, This years destination for the Euro Trotters trip will be , dramatic pause, Yeah no i'm not doing a dramatic pause , Paris it's gonna be Paris" She said in a monotone voice

"Fuck yes , last year it was bloody Scotland no one wanted to go there" I said to James.

"Oh shite no offense" I laughed awkwardly

"I'm not fro- yeah well yer all the bloody same Paris girls this will be epic" Michelle said interrupting

"Sadly I'm unable to come on this one as I despise the French"

DERRY GIRLS

"There so much I wanna do" Clare said listing all the things she wanted to see

"A French fella. That's what I want to do, Nation of ride" Michelle said smiling

"Oh just imagine them Michelle , they don't look like that around here" I said to her , but then noticing the sad look on James' face , we had become closer over the past couple of weeks.

"Don't worry James , you can be my croissant on the side" I laughed throwing his shoulder around me

"Get him off ya Ciara you don't know where he's been" Michelle said dragging me to the booth.

"It'd be good conversation practice , Yanno for the orals" James said happily

"Which will be the only oral that you get , well unless Ciara takes pity on ya , like she has been , Yanno I'm talking about blow jobs" Michelle said

"Yes thank you Michelle we all knew what you were talking about" I fake smiled at her

"Oh god , don't tell me Charlene kavanagh is going , she is dying with herself " oh I'm so good looking , oh I'm so popular. if there ever was a more shallow person" Erin ranted

"Hi Erin" Charlene interrupted her. Are you signing up for Paris , I can't convince that lot to come. Looks like I'm gonna need someone to hangout with

"It would be an honour" Erin said sternly

"Do you know what I admire most about you Erin , your unshakable principals" Clare spat and walked away

"Hold on stall the fucking ball 375 quid? I shouted seeing the price

"Each?!" Erin gasped. " isn't there some kind of group discount?"

"It's not club 18 to 30 , just dip into your trust fund , I do it all the time" Jenny bragged

"Our what?"

"It's like an account your parents set up for you to help pay for things like university your first car , educational trips!" Jenny told us

"Trust finds you say ... interesting"

"Just asked daddy about my trust fund" I said sitting down at the table

"Oh yeah what did he say?! Mammy says I don't have one" Erin said pouting

"Oh just pick up the phone he's still laughing" I said bitterly

"Girls look , there's not trust funds , there aren't any funds" Aunt Mary said

"Okay now that's sorted , one portion of reddish , one portion of white fish , 2 bags of chip- no no two bags won't be enough" Granda interrupted Uncle Gerry

"Two is plenty joe"

"Four!"

"Three then we'll compromise" Oh boy

After a long fight over what everyone wanted at the chippy , Uncle Colm rang to tell us he was in the police station

Two guys broke in , tied him up and stolen his van. Still though his order was added to the list of things we were to order at the chippy

"Seven bags of chips , 12 chicken nugget- Gimmie it" Finnoula screamed snatching the list off Erin

"Well Jenny was talking out of her hole with this trust fund thing , how the fuck are we going to get the money for Paris now" Michelle yelled

"We can sell our organs" Orla said

"Yanno what Orla we'll call that plan B" I said to her

"Oh yeah definitely but excuse me if this sounds a bit far fetched but can we not Yanno get jobs" Clare said

"There's no jobs in derry"

"So what are these" Clare exclaimed going over to the notice bored

We were all looking and complaining at the jobs on the bored when a girl came over and took a strip.

"Shite , I think other people are onto this girls" Michelle whined

"I won't ask you again" Finnoula shouted

"A large curry butty finnoula , and don't be shy with the salt now" Michelle ordered

"What about the wee limey" She said pointing to James

"I'm Ok thanks"

"What"

"I don't really want anything"

"How can you not want anything it's lovely , are you not feeling well James , I don't understand" all the girls questioned him and I could see James ready to blow

"I don't like it okay !! It's too greasy the smell honestly makes me physically sick" James screamed

I winced knowing none of the girls nor Finnoula was impressed with his out burst

"I'm sorry you have to hear that Finnoula" Michelle said sincerely

"Get him out of here" She demanded

And with a pouty face James left

"Hey Erin , cancel my order , I'll be home in awhile" I said running out after James seeing him half way down the road

"Hey! Posh spice wait up" I yelled running up to him

" look I'm sorry" James began before I stopped him

"I've never really been a fan of her chippy anyway , don't worry about it" I said

We had been walking around in the park for what seemed like hours but was only about 10 minutes

"Walk me home" I shoved James and smirked at him

I walked in the gate and turned back to James leaving the locked gate between us

"You're not a bad guy James , you're too pure for old Derry" I said giving him a sad smile

"Could say the same to you , we could always run away Yanno" He said laughing

"Yeah right , turns out none of us have fucking trust funds" I said joining in with his laughter

"I'll see you tomorrow James , just dream of being home with the queen and try to stick it out another day" I said leaving a light kiss on his cheek and walking inside

There wasn't much light , but even the street lights on the road were enough to show the colour of James' cheeks change
