Who did it ?

Chapter 3 ~ Edited

Amber's POV:

Form is finally over and that really boring mediocre introduction they do every year, the same 'hello, these are our boring school rules and you must follow them blah blah blah' basically just scaring the year sevens as if the other years don't do that enough anyway. I go to meet Lilly and Ebony at first period, which is History.

I spot them leaning against a bunch of lockers and I rush to meet them.

"Hey!" I say and as soon as I reach them we launch into a conversation about how tired we already are even though the day has barely started. We do this whilst waiting for Mrs Brown, our teacher for this lesson, to come and open the door.

Ebony tells me about the new boy who wouldn't stop staring at her and we smirk at her, giving the eyes. Instantly, she understands what we mean and starts making gagging sounds with finger pointing down her throat.

"No offence but this isn't some Wattpad book, he looks about 12 and well to put it lightly, not exactly my type. Also I saw him picking his nose and then eating whatever came off. "

We both start laughing our heads off at the possibility of an actual 12 year old falling for her, a 15 year old, 16 in a few months. "Oh no I really thought we found you someone then." Lilly teases her, wiping away a fake tear.

"Not a chance, not unless you find someone with the same aesthetic and vibe as me. " she says whilst waving her hands all over her face and body.

"I might as-well start saving up for a house for when I'm a 70 year old with black furry cats for company." She says exaggerating and we all burst into laughter.

I missed talking to them a lot. I feel like a whole different person around my best friends than with my online best friend. Crazy that I still have one of those. Her name is Clara and she's a few months older than me. She's also convinced that we're actually twin sisters separated at birth due to our similar features. The only difference is the colour of our eyes. Whilst mine are hazel-y green, hers are blue.

I nudge Lilly's shoulder and raise an eyebrow as I look to speak to her  "not everyone's as lucky as you , let's just hope it lasts."

"It will, I can feel it." She sighs, smiling at me with a twinkle in her eyes and clasping her hands together for dramatic effect.

Throughout our conversation the rest of our class begins arriving and lining up outside the door, behind the rest of us. 5 minutes go by and Mrs Brown arrives too. "Sorry I'm a bit late girls, I was making myself a cuppa." Then she turns around and opens up the door.

We all enter the class and run to grab the seats with our friends.

Lilly, Ebony and I always sit at the back on the right, slightly hidden from the teacher's sight. That way no one can hear the top secret shit we talk about. We also sat here last year aswell, in year 10, so it's basically our place now. It's a table for four so Ebony leans against the wall, I sit in the middle and Lilly sits on my left side. Sometimes, we just leave the fourth chair, which is on the left side of Lilly empty, or we put our bags on there.

As Mrs Brown drones on about what the topics are that we're gonna be learning, I whisper ask Ebony "How's your dad?"

And no I'm not one of them girls.

"Same old." She scoffs, then continues, " I pierced my tongue to annoy him and also —"

"Woah woah woah hold on there" Lilly leans forward and turns her neck to see her, "you pierced it?"

"Yeah" she chuckles at our amusement and the fact that our jaws are literally on the floor, and then continues, "and my tragus but I can't wear them to school I'll get caught, I even put pictures up on my private snapchat story." We start whispering as we see the teacher talking on about the expectations. It's gonna be the same thing for like 3 days anyway, no work just getting our books and planners etc.
