MADELINE'S POV"series two - episode one - kick off"
WE HAD RECENTLY MOVED FROM ELM TREE HOUSE TO ASHTEEN RIDGE. It looked a lot nicer, i'll say that for sure. Majority of us playing in the garden including Rick and I, he was currently giving me a piggy back whilst running around. Mike calls out "Right come on you lot" Signalling us to come back inside.
Today was different. We had a new kid arriving, Bailey Wharton, and he had already tried to do a runner several times. Wanting to get a look at the new kid, i grabbed Ricks hand and we all followed Mike outside.
"Thought he needed the exercise" The runner comments. He was tall, around 6ft with long legs and dark drown eyes; he was wearing a football kit.
"Hi, you must be Bailey" Mike holds out his hand for Bailey to shake but he just ignores it.
"You look like you need a bit of a work out yourself"
My face turns to annoyance at his ignorant and offensive comment to Mike. Rick laughed slightly so i gave him a quick kick in the leg.
We all go back inside to eat and I obviously sit next to Rick, it's like second nature now. As we sit around the kitchen table talking away about a bunch of nothing, Bailey comes in and i roll my eyes. I feel like i'm not going to like this kid much. He stands behind Mo who is sat in front of me and drops his football on his head.
"Ow!" Mo exclaims gaining our attention.
"Go sit over there" Bailey tells him pointing to the other side of the table.
I glare a Bailey as Tee tells him "He doesn't have to move, you go sit over there" Bailey wasn't happy with Tee's comment but reluctantly agreed.
"You" The new care worker who replace Gina, May-Li, points at Bailey, "Come sit over here"
He finally goes over to the empty seat which unfortunately is next to me and chatter starts up again. I try and ignore his present keeping my attention on Rick.
"Has someone been starving you?" Floss asks and we all turn to look at Bailey who is eating his food strangely fast.
"Building myself up, big match tomorrow"
"What kind of match?" I ask him.
"League Cup final" He tells me "My teams gonna storm it"
"Are you the captain?" Harry asks.
"Should be" He answers with a sigh.
Rick turns to him "Are you even any good?"
"I'm way better then good"
"I meant the team"
"I am the team"
I almost start laughing, could he get any more arrogant.
