Once Upon a Story

CHAPTER TWO

I sigh and get out of bed. Another Monday. I still hear Ben singing as loud as he can. Wait. Is he trying to go to hell?. Because if he wakes Mum and Dad up that's where he's headed.

I go into my on-sweet and get undressed. After stepping in the shower I feel the warm liquid pour around me. Slowly loosening the tension in my body. I gasp as the water turns cold. Frustrated I climb out of the shower.

"Ben!" I scream. I realise I've just made a big mistake. I screamed. I probably woke Mum and Dad up. Crap.

I slowly creep out of my bathroom and into my bedroom. After getting dressed in my school uniform which consists of a white undershirt, a maroon jacket, a tie the same colour and some pant legs. To say the least; it's ugly. I creep downstairs to find Ben crashing around the kitchen.

"Ben do you want to go to Hell?" I shout whisper.

He seemed to catch my gist.

"Mum and Dad have gone away!" ha yells, nearly bursting my ear drums. I look up at him surprised.

They must be lying.

"Ben you thick head! Mum and Dad don't have jobs!" I yelled over the noise he was making with the pots and pans.

He looks confused. I sigh, even though he's nineteen, he could be a real idiot sometimes.

"What are you doing?" I ask, irritated, "stop it now"

"Oh... uh I'm cooking?" he says scared. We'll he'd better be scared because when I'm angry I'm not a force to be reckoned with.

"Get the cereal out." I say.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

I get out of the car walking towards Lydia and Hadley. A few people say hi and I say it back. See? politeness is everything.

"Babe!" Lydia yells, "over here Lillian!" I laugh at her antiques. Hadley is covering his eyes and his ears are going a bright shade of pink. I giggle. Lydia manages to embarrass Hadley and I at least once a day. It's probably written on her time table. She doesn't care what people think of her.

As soon as I walk up to them the bell goes. I laugh as their faces fell at the thought of school for an entire Monday. Hadley's in my first class so he comes with me. We go our separate ways and promise to meet behind the Hall. That's our hide out.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 

I sit down in a chair next to Hadley, watching Rileys every movement. Trying, in vien, to see why I like him so much. 

"hey!" Hadley said concerned, "you alright?" 

"yeah" I say back, a million miles away. 

"watching lover boy over there?" he asks in a whisper. But before I could utter a single word Mrs Black came in. That shut the class up. I almost died when she smiled. she stands there, in front of us, grinning like a maniac. You know what that means? no? Ill tell you then; it means we've got an assignment. But not just any old assignment we've got to work in pairs. Mrs.Black is famous in our school for assignments. Shell put her favorite couples together in a grup. Its usually the way dating starts in our school, or in this class really. 

She started pairing off names; "Mildred and Josh, Hunter and Rau, Fergus and Yolanda, Hadley and Caitln" Hadly grinned.  

"Riley and Lillian" I look up immeiately, this was obviously a joke, I could NOT be paired with Riley. I look over at him and hes smlling at me, melting my heart into goop. I try to smile back but it probably looks like Im constapated. His grin widens, clearly the face I made amused him.
