Life in a boarding school

Christmas day

Abbie's POV

The school was quiet today. Most teachers and students had gone home but there was about 30 students who didn't got home and about 5 teachers who didn't go home too.
That was Mrs rose because she was a widow who had no children. So she always worked Christmas. Mr Malone who fancied the pants of Mrs rose so he opted to stay here. Mr tanner, Mrs Scott and Mrs Johnston who were told to stay an work christmas.

Well it may be quiet but i still hate Christmas.

I put on a white Woolley jumper over a marron skater skirt, which was over white leggings and a pair of yellow docs.

"Merry Christmas!" Everyone cheered as people walked In. See I was alone I had no friends. I went and sat in the corner.

I was messing on my phone when in walked a tall lad. He was part of our school. But he wore a pair of black jeans and a long coat which was done up. He had boots on which was covered in snow.

"Matty jay?" I said "why you here."

He's been ignoring me for the past week so it was a shock to see him.

"I've got no where else to go? Family don't want anything else to do me so why not come here."

"Has something happened?" I asked

Mrs rose came over.

"Hey why don't you go next door and have a little chat. Bit of privacy." she smiled and we walked out.

"What's happened?" I asked

"Mu don't know. It's not been right for a week or so. And I've taken it out on everyone around me. The people that actually care." he said and he was flapping around. He was getting annoyed.

"Matty!" I said and he stopped. "calm down, please." I said softly.

"I think I'm moving schools." he said

"Why?"

"Because they want me away from destructions, girls. They want me to move to Scotland. To an all boys school. I won't be able to do any sport or singing or acting. Nothing. Just academic stuff. I carnt do that. I cannot sit there in a classroom. What they don't understand is that I don't get distracted by hot girls. I've changed. If I'm not interested in a lesson I will get detracted by a poster or something completely irrelevant. I don't want to move. I'm happy here. I try to be good it's... hard."

"Who's idea is that?"

"Dads."

"Why? Has he spoke to the teachers or your auntie."

"No probably not. He just wants me gone that's all." he frowned "and my auntie acts nice when your around but is a bitch when I'm alone. But I think she likes you."

I was silent and matt walked over to me again.
I was sat on the table with my feet crossed. I hand my head tilted to the floor, so he lifted up his hand and placed it on my chin. I looked up slowly and smiled a bit.

"I carnt lose you Matty."

"I don't want to lose you either."

He then lent forward and the door opened so he moved back.

"Everything okay in here." Mrs rose said "are you okay Mathew."

"Yeah." He said still looking at me.

"You okay Abbie?" She asked and he turned away.

"Yeah I'm fine." I smiled

"It's just me. That's it. I needed somebody to talk to and I needed Abbie." he said holding my hand sitting next to me. "See I always thought I had a difficult family life. 14 and my parents were sick of me. Infact it started before then. That's why I ended here. But I then got kicked out of the school house, Then kicked out of home. And now they want to send me off to a all boys boarding school in Scotland." he sighed "But although my family don't want me. I'm still lucky enough to have one. See. I was horrible to people, Why? I think it was because I wasn't happy. I needed a way to be better than somebody. It's low that. But I was blinded."

"Matt stop. Please." I said because I could see he was hurting his self.

"Okay. But I found out your family history. I found out how I made you feel. I woke up. I was being such a child compared." he then sighed and ran his hands through his hair "Your the strongest person I've ever met."

"Matthew has something happened? Something bothering you?" Mrs rose said

"My parents want to move me. And I don't want to go. They've not even spoke to teachers on how much I've changed since charlie left. Now they want me to move to the school where he's at. I carnt."

"Why did you get kicked out of the school house and not the school full stop."

"Because I had alcohol on school grounds. In my locker. I didn't put it there. it was charlie. Then I punched a kid because charlie told me too. Stupid I know. I was scared of charlie. That's why I did it." matt said

"If I could get you back in the school house would that help?"

"I hope so." matt seemed to cheer up a little. "I will have to speak around and it won't be till the new year but I can try." She said

"Yes please!" He said "thank you so much miss!"

"Don't worry. Don't go saying anything though. Our secret." she said and we both nodded "right come back in soon. Dont be to long."

"We won't miss." I said and she walked out.

"That will be amazing! If I can share with james and ..."

"Don't get your hopes up." I said "sorry it may not happen. It's up to your parents after all."

"Your right." he said taking my hand and we walked back into the room. However on the way matt stopped under a door frame. "one thing." he said before leaning down and kissing me.

"Every time I try and kiss you somebody interrupts." he smiled and I kissed him again

"Truthfully. Am I a distraction to you."

"Why because I lay thinking about you constantly and have done for months and any girl that tries it, I don't see because of you? I guess so. But you also get me working. See your the reason I've calmed down, yeah Charlie's gone but It's because of you."

I blushed and he laughed.

"Mr Owens thinks something's going on with us." I laughed

"I know. Remember when he told me of for teasing Tom and keeks? Well he said he was going to reveal what he caught me doing ... Well at the hospital I kind of kissed your head and you woke up."

"I know. I could hear everything. And I felt it. I couldn't open my eyes though or speak."

"You heard everything."

"Yeah. We won't speak about that though."

"Good!" He then kissed me again.

"Come on you too." Mr tanner called and we ran in.

It was about 10pm and I was getting in bed when I got a text.
