Victim

Victim -

Georgia had been bestowed with natural beauty and she knew it. Her facial features were the perfect size, she had voluminous eyelashes, remarkably clear skin (for anyone let alone that of a teenager in the grips of puberty), even teeth (without the aid of braces), a skinny frame and was an early bloomer so she was regularly the talk in boys changing rooms. Despite being arriving at around the same time as Chloe, Georgia could be no different; she was self-assured, popular, charismatic and confident. She let Chloe know exactly this too. That Georgia was the one who people flocked to and loved while Chloe was a freak with no one who loved her. She may have Caitlin but Georgia assured her that this was only temporary and that everyone that had at one point loved Chloe had left her life. On one occasion Georgie even informed Chloe that her mum had chosen to die rather than face a life with Chloe. She knew this had hit hard because Chloe had something bulky on her wrist the day after which had turned out to be a tissue (once Georgia had forced up her long sleeve) meaning that Chloe had cut deeply. Georgia had laughed with her friends for hours at the sight of it as Chloe had rushed out to school with tears in her eyes. The memory brought a smile to her face even now.

"She plays the victim but she's literally begging to get mean comments when she wears those stupid bands on her t-shirts. If she just wore normal things then no one would say anything. She loves the attention. Think about it she was brought up getting attention from everyone. She was the 'one who lost her mum to cancer' and then 'the one who was beaten by her dad' now, when she has a chance for her life to be normal, she has chosen to be the 'bullied goth'" Georgia replied back to her friend Helen who had asked why Chloe seemed upset all the time. Helen was shorter but just as skinny as Georgia herself however her distinctive feature was her unusually big nose which always turned up in other people's business (as if this larger feature provided a better gossiping method). Helen always knew what was going on before it had even happened which was beneficial to Georgia who was as nosey as Helen but not as proactive and eager to prove herself. Once Helen had made a comment about how she didn't like Chloe, she might of well have been given the golden ticket into friendship with Georgia and Kara.

"I suppose" Helen agreed, walking behind the two friends as the trio walked through to the living room and had started for the stairs.

"And those bands! How shit can music get honestly? It's just screaming and whining. Bunch of freaks the lot of them" Kara, the girl standing next to Georgia, commented. Kara's luscious brunette hair had been straightened as it did everyday by Georgia's request (as it was Georgia who wanted to be the only member of the trio with waves that complimented her golden locks). Whereas Helen had joined the foster home last year, Kara had been there three years and therefore was inevitably closer with Georgia. This did not create any tensions as any feelings Helen had over being left out were never spoken because she only wanted to be accepted by the pair and would never say anything to give them any reason to think they were better of without her.

"Yeah it was that one with the black veils in the title or something that she was wearing today. I saw it at school and was so embarrassed for her" Georgia informed Helen (who had laughed at this) and Kara (who had pretended to throw up at the mention of the band).

"I'm so glad the people at school know that just because we share a room with her does not mean that we are anything like her" Kara told them who both nodded in agreement.

"I'm going to tell Lucy we've got home. I'll be right back" Georgia said before walking further down the hallway and onto the second flights of stairs to reach Lucy's room. Lucy, who was known as Ms Flecker to most but had insisted Georgia call her Lucy, was in charge of running everything in the foster home. She liked to think of herself as a very good judge of character which was ironic when considering her hiring the ever-so-lovely Mrs Jones as counsellor and her falling victim to Georgia's false charm due to her remarkable charismatic skills.
