Little Wilson- Ackley Bridge

3

"Rise and shine!" Cory barged into Olivia's room opening the curtains.
"Fuck off right now" she growled from under the covers.
"Ey! Less if the language" Cory said putting a fresh shirt on her radiator.
"Don't turn into a dad Cory. You're my brother. So FUCK OFF!" She shouted the last bit while throwing a stuffed animal at him. He just laughed as he went out the door.

"I'm working tonight, so I'll come home and just leave ok" Olivia said running down the stairs, she didn't have time for breakfast as she'd tried with her makeup today.
"Alright. here" Cory shoved his three quartered finished toast in her mouth as they all went to the door.
"Come on Liv, you've got so much makeup on" Cory said poking her face.
"Shut up. No I don't. Just wanted to look nice" she slapped his hand away.
"Awwww has livvy wivvy got a lovey dovey" Jordan laughed as he rode off.
"I hate you Jordan!" she shouted as he peddled away, laughing.

About half way on the walk to school Cory was being awkward. "Erm. We- we need to talk about yesterday" he rubbed the back of his head.
"Ermmm. No we don't. Bye Cory" Olivia tried to speed off, Cory ran after her and grabbed her arm.
"You can't keep running away from things you don't want to talk about Liv" Cory sighed as he held Olivia's shoulder. "We're gonna have a meeting today with mr bell and maybe a few others" Cory continued. Olivia's head snapped up. "What!" She shouted. "Hey calm down it's just to talk about how we all feel and stuff" Cory tried to interjected. "No! I'm not gonna sit there and look like a muppet. I'm fine! Fine got a little emotional but doesn't everyone from time to time. You're ALL blowing this way out of proportion" she huffed and shook corys grip off her and ran towards the school. Cory shook his head and walked into the school gates, as they'd been walking and talking.
Mr bell called over Cory as he walked towards the entrance. "Cory!" He shouted to the boy.
"Alright sir" Cory turned around, "I don't think Liv's a big fan of the meeting idea" Cory told the teacher.
"we'll take her during lessons so she can't sprint off into the distance" the teacher squinted his eyes.
"That's probably best sir. Erm I have to go-yeah, bye" Cory jogged to catch up with his friends.
"Oh that's fine- bye Cory" mr bell said as Cory looked back and smiled.

"These Wilson's will be the death of me" mr bell stood drinking his coffee with his wife, and headteacher- Miss carter. "You're doing the right thing and I'm proud of you" she replied putting her hand on his shoulder. "Thanks love, right I need to go plan my lessons- year 7s definitely won't teach themselves" they laughed as he went to his classroom.

Meanwhile Olivia was stood with her friend emily. "God this school is so in your face" she huffed.
"What do you mean?" Emily asked.
"Well what I mean is, the slightest inconvenience and they're straight up your arse" Olivia let out a sigh.
"Hey emily!" A girl called Charlotte shouted. "Come here wanna show you something" she carried on. "You ok if I go?" Emily asked.
"No go ahead, I need to go find missy anyway" she smiled and hugged the girl.

"Hey, Missy" Olivia went up to the two girls, who were talking about something. "I'm so sorry I didn't come round last night, they had rugby and shit got a bit hectic" she gave a half smile.
"Ohh no. It's fine babe. Just come over when you want" missy smiled.
"So how's everything going, with GCSEs" nas asked the 2 girls.
"All my lessons have been stupid games so far" Olivia laughed.
"Phaaa I wish, all mine is work work work" missy said exasperated.
"I need to put a couple things away so off to my locker" Olivia smiled as she walked towards the school building.

She saw mr Simpson and silently prayed he would say anything. But no. "Hey Olivia you alright now" he asked.
"I'm fine sir, please leave it, it was just stupid" she said trying to walk away.
"Are you sure" he continued.
"Please. I'm fine" she continued walking the corridor, until she got to her locker. And put her sports bag in, along with other bits and bobs.

First period was drama with miss Keane , for Olivia. She didn't mind Romeo and Juliet but found it a little boring.
"Miss. Weren't Romeo a pedo. Wasn't Juliet like 14 and he was 20 or something" Olivia shouted out as they paused for a break from reading the Shakespeare play.
"Yes actually, they were round about those ages, but back in those days it was normal." Miss Keane laughed. "And with that scatter to your next period" she said while taking the books in.

Next was health and social. The teachers wanted there to be more lessons of it per week as time were changing, and support was needed more. As Olivia sat down she heard whispering and laughing behind her. She turned around and saw Jack, a boy she had a deep hatred for. He constantly made stupid digs at her, all since year 8 when Cory shouted at him for bumping into him. "What are you laughing at?" She questioned.
"Just talking about how you so want to get in my bed. But I wouldn't dare" he sneered while his mates laughed.
"Woooow. You're too funny for you own good. Ha. Ha." She said dripping in sarcasm as she turned back around.

"Alright class settle down, so today we're going to be talking about social media, more specifically sending the wrong thing to people." Mr Qureshi started.
"What like nudes?" A girl shouted out as people laughed.
"Well actually Katie, yes. Yes we are, so thank you for getting straight to the point" Mr Qureshi chuckled.

"Social media. Isn't safe, anything you send has the risk of being out on the internet for everyone, pedophiles, predators, traffickers, could find you on the internet. This is why it's so important not to send naked pictures. Even if you feel pressured." He started his lesson.
"Now if you do send pictures, which is a common mistake, what if someone screenshots it and send it to everyone, or is blackmailing you to send more. Because it does happen. You should tell a responsible adult you trust. Who can then go to the police with you. It's never ever ok, to do that. It doesn't matter if you sent the pictures. They can't do that to you" Mr Qureshi continued.

"I bet you've sent to more people than in Ackley. You skank" Jack leant forward and whispered in Olivias ear. She whipped her head around "what did you just say to me" she snapped.
"I said you're a skank, scum of the earth, dirt. You will never amount to anything. No wonder your mum left" jack continued, smirking.

Olivia stood up with such force her chair fell backwards, she turned around and slapped jack. His head turned with the sudden impact. Everyone in the class 'ooooed' people had started to film it under the desks, knowing a fight could happen. The class started talking loudly. She grabbed a fistful if his hair and punched him, before he could even turn his head back from the slap. He stood up and lunged for her. But before he could get to her Mr Qureshi held her back while one of jacks friends held him. "Talk about me like that again and you won't be able to fucking walk" she shouted. As she pushed the teacher off her, she grabbed her bag and stormed out.

Mr Qureshi followed her out and led her to isolation as a teacher went into to cover for him. She slammed open the isolation room, and slammed out a seat and sat on it.
Mr Qureshi calmly brought a chair and sat down facing her, "what happened?" He asked calmly. Olivia just buried her head into her shaking hands taking deep breaths. The last couple of days and the whole of the summer, had not been amazing.
"Olivia, come on, you can't just punch someone without an explanation, even if it was a very good right hook" he laughed.
"Living with two brothers makes you like that" she said, but it came out all muffled as her head was still in her hands.
"Do you want me to get Cory?" The teacher asked.
"No! He'll literally murder the little shit" Olivia looked up trying not to laugh. "Even if he deserves it" she added.
"Then tell me what happened"
She stayed silent, if anything it's just embarrassing.
"Right okay well you clearly don't want to talk, I'll go and get you lunch and while I'm gone right down what happened" Mr Quureshi said standing up, giving the girl a pen and paper. "Okay?" He asked wanting a response. Olivia nodded as he left.

Well this hasn't been the best start to the year, Olivia thought.
