start manipulating the images.
Kai: Oh cool, so you like photography?
As I read his reply I made my way downstairs and into the kitchen, not realising it was so late. When I entered the room I noticed that my mum had left me a bowl of chicken soup she had made before leaving, like she normally did when I was ill. Even though I didn’t feel like soup I knew that if I didn’t eat it she would realise I was faking it. Sighing I put the soup in the microwave, still talking to Kai as I did so.
Carrying my dinner into the front room I switched on the TV to some rubbish before settling down to eat.
Darcie <3: Yeah it’s OK, it gets me out the house for a while anyway, how about you? What do you like?
He didn’t reply instantly and I thought maybe he was bored of talking to me as it had been a few hours since we first starting speaking.
Kai: I don’t do a lot really...
As I read his message I heard a car pull up in the driveway and when I glanced at the clock I realised it must be my mum. She only worked half days, so with a groan I realised my freedom was over.
Darcie <3: I’ve got to go OK, I’ve got college tomorrow but should be on after I’ve finished there.
I typed quickly while putting the tray I had eaten off on the table and curling up under the blanket that lay on the back of the sofa.
Kai: OK bye x
I smiled at his response, just as my mum came into the room.
“Well someone’s looking better,” she said in mock seriousness as she put down her bag and keys on the side cabinet.
“Yeah I am feeling better, I think I just needed to rest for a day,” I said. There was no point trying to get another day off as I knew my mum wouldn’t buy it and I couldn’t be bothered to act ill any longer. It didn’t matter anyway, talking to Kai had made me feel better and I believed I would be able to face the rest of the week at school.
That night I didn’t really do a lot else besides think about Kai while I pretended to watch TV, but if my parents noticed anything weird about me they didn’t say.
The next morning I awoke early and in a better mood than the previous day. After I had gone through my usual morning routine I glanced at my iPod to see a message from Kai.
Kai: Morning :) can’t wait to talk to you later x
My smile grew even bigger after reading that and as I headed downstairs I felt I would be able to face anything that college had to throw at me.
As I sat in my usual seat on the bus, I waited for Chloe to get on and begin her, what I guessed would be an extremely long rant about leaving her yesterday. Sitting down beside me she almost yanked my earphones from me as I listened to music, pretending not to see her.
“I can’t believe you left me. Do you have any idea what you made me suffer? That guy sat by me all the way to college, boxing me in by the window so I couldn’t move. He kept trying all these cheesy lines, reeked of B.O and kept touching my leg, each time his hand moving higher. Even when I slapped him he didn’t move. You can never leave me again, understand?”
Laughing, I smiled at her as she ran out of breath. Her anger seemed to have diminished in her one tirade, which surprised me.
“Anyway, you’re looking a lot better, what’s up?”
I almost spilled everything to her on the bus but a small part of me restrained myself as I didn’t know what the thing between Kai and me was yet. That is if there was anything at all. Plus I liked keeping my little secret for a while.
“Guess I just had a good rest and got over Ian.” Just as the words left my mouth none other than Ian himself chose to walk by. He pretended to ignore me but I saw the slight hurt register in his eyes. Clearly Chloe wasn’t going to let the issue drop as I saw the determination on her face. “Chlo it’s nothing, I just feel really happy today OK, please just drop it?”
She sighed but nodded before jumping into telling me about everything I missed yesterday. Apparently I skipped a really
