Blooming

Chapter 3: Blooming

Chapter 3

"Give me your timetable" I was taken a-back and started fumbling in my pockets. I pulled out my timetable and handed it to Blue.

"Yay we have chemistry next together. We need to talk."

"Sure. But what about?"

"What do you think dufus HARRY!" She whispered a bit loudly. A few girls glared at us.

"Shhh" I warned. Matty and Willow wandered over to us.

"Hey Blue Bear" Matty said. Blue smiled with sparkly eyes but then Willow butted in.

"Hey..Bloom right? I'm Willow. She gave me a sickenly sweet smile. I didn't smile back and she looked to the floor awkwardly.

"Ready for chemistry, Bloom?" Matty asked. "You can sit beside me if ya want?" He looked so cute when his eyes widened inquisitively.

"Sorry she's taken"

"Ooooo" Matty jeered.

Blue gave Matty a playful punch on the arm.

"No stupid by me but if I saw what I thought I saw between Bloom and Harry she might be taken by the end of the week!"

Willow gave Blue a stunned look.

"Harry Davidson? No way!"

"Yea way Bloom got a juicy wink"

I got a very jealous glare from Willow but I dont think Matty noticed.

"We dont want to be late" Matthew interupted and headed for the door. We all followed him.

I took my place beside Blue. Blue fluttered her eyelashes and propped her head up with her hands.

"Sooo what do you think of Harry?" She prompted.

I shivered. And Blue got hyper.

"Ohh your shivering! You like him!"

"Oh come on I dont even know him its my first day"

"Yea well my plans take time"

"Oh Blue not one of your plans" Matty put in. "They always end badly"

"Eh no they dont..."

Matthew made a sarcastic reasoning face. I laughed.

"Hey where's the teacher?" I asked.

"He NEVER comes in" Blue said. "Yea our schools a dump"

"Oh ho ho not compared to my old school!! If our teachers did show up they were either so drunk they couldnt teach or high"

"Wow. How come your so..normal?" Blue asked. I liked her. She just spoke her mind. I laughed.

"Granny beat it into me" I joked.

Classes came and went and I hadnt seen my mum yet. Thank goodness! At 1:00 Matty showed me to the lunch hall. It reminded me of a circus. Everyone was running mad. Matty spotted someone in the crowd and waved. It was Willow. Ugh! We went over and sat beside her. She started talking about some girl in French that was wearing black and navy. Shock horror! I noticed Matty's eyes glaze over.

I looked at Willows plate.

A low calorie bar and salad with no dressing. She was a stick all ready and I could see why!

Blue approached with a cunning look in her eyes. I noticed when Blue sat down Matty perked up. Blue gave me a look that told me she had a plan but I'd have to wait till Willow left. I saw some Barbies at the table next to us. Blue told me they were the football team but I could tell she didnt say all she wanted to say about them in front of Willow. Soon Willow went to join them. She kissed Matty tenderly before she left. When she left he had a cute smile on his face I could see those amazing dimples. So he did like Willow? Well he should they were dating. I wonder what their deal was? I'd ask Blue some other time.

Finally the day was over. It had been a great day. Great new friends. Soccor try-outs on Friday and Harry. I headed home unlocked the door and went into the kitchen. I looked at my phone my dad had tried to ring and he had texted me twice...I deleted them.

Mum arrived home at 4:30.

"Honey I'm home" she called.

She glided into the kitchen obviously on cloud nine.

"Good day?" I asked.

"Yes brilliant and you?"

"Fabulous" I grinned my mum was in a good mood. She always was when we moved to a new place it didnt last long!

"I didnt see you today hun" she said.

"Yea I was looking for you" I lied.

"Your not embarassed at your mum being the janitor? Its not exactly the classiest job!"

"No" I lied again. I tried not to lie because I had been through so much lying already! I wasn't so embarassed at my mum being the janitor as she practically flung herself at men. I guess she just missed a man in her life sometimes. So do I but there is no excuse for what my dad did to our family.

I looked at my phone later that night. A call from dad and a text from Sam my old boyfriend from Liverpool. When I moved we decided to just be friends. He was my best and only friend back in Liverpool. The kids in Liverpool were so much different from the kids here. I already felt I fitted in here. In Liverpool my skirt wasnt short enough. I didnt drink. I didnt go to their parties because they always ended in one thing. And another thing Ive never kissed a boy. Yes I had a boyfriend but we felt awkward about that type of stuff. To think of it we never were really boyfriend and girlfriend just really good friends.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I hopped into my bed and went straight to sleep.
