Alice

Chapter Twenty - Packing

I got dressed for school and rushed to the car as the car horn blasted out, we got to school and most of the lessons went by in a flash. The last lesson came around and that was English.

"Hey Alice." Josh said as he walked past.

"Hi Josh." I smiled at him as he took a seat near me.

"So um.. I was wondering.. umm.. ahhh.."

I just looked at him and smirked, he was cute when he was shy.

"You're in my seat."

My eyes wandered up the body that the voice belonged to. They landed upon Sasha. The second meanest girl in school after Zoe.

"Move it loser."

I looked over at Josh that was standing, picking his bag up and scrambling back to his original seat. I felt sorry for him. She has always bullied him.

"You don't have to be that mean to him." I muttered under my breath.

"Shut it."

I turned my head to notice Sasha was glaring at me. Her skin was a perfect bronze colour and her black hair was always tied up. She looked beautiful but good looking people are always mean.

I turned my head and looked towards the board where Mrs Ghouldy was standing with her back straight, her hair slicked back in a tight bun.

"Listen up and make sure you take notes because the next lesson you will be doing a test on this before you have your exams." She started talking before everyone let out a groan.

The lesson felt like I was in there for some time but once it finished I headed over to the locker before shoving the notebook into my bag and lifting it onto my shoulders. I went into the toilets before meeting up with Poppie at her locker.

I was washing my hands after coming out of the toilets and I heard someone crying. It was probably one of the girls that got bullied by Zoe or Sasha. I knocked on the door to ask if they were okay.

No one answered so I went into the toilet cube next to it and grabbed the toilet roll, went to the toilet they were in and held my hand under the door. I heard the girl chuckle to herself which made me smile. The girl took the toilet paper off of me and opened the door. We both looked at each other and our mouths fell to the floor. It was Sasha.

"Don't tell anyone that I was crying."

"I won't but tell me why you were crying."

She looked at me and hesitated before opening her mouth to speak.

"It's my family." She spoke after a while.

"Is someone hurt?" I asked.

"No, it's something else." She muttered.

"Come with me." I said grabbing her arm and pulling her out of the toilets.

"What! Why is she coming?" Poppie said through her clamped teeth.

"Because I said so." I spoke with a smile on my face.

Me, Sasha and Poppie got to mine and Poppie made herself comfortable on my bed while Sasha pulled out my chair and placed herself on it like she was uncomfortable with the situation she was in.

Poppie started talking about how she couldn't get that guys face out of her mind. I was surprised that she remembered him the way she was drinking that night.

"You're moving?" Sasha asked.

"Yeah.. I'm moving to America." I replied grabbing boxes and setting them up.
