Chapter 9
I walk up to the door, leaving Olive gasping like a fish behind me. I breathe in through my nose, put on a brave face and open it. It was quite obvious they were talking about me as they quickly fall silent when I enter. Their faces turn to look at me and glare viciously.
I turn away from them and walk towards my bed. I seemed like forever until I got to my bunk but I finally did. Olive enters shortly after me but freezes in the doorway. I look behind to see if she's alright but I don't know if she's able to move. She was like a china doll, life like, but un-moving. Still in time.
"Well, well, well Sober Girl and Elsa. Freezing up again are you?" Tiffany throws back her head, laughing and the other girls chorus as well. I can guess who's who with the mocking names. I try and ignore them but Olive seems to be taking it to the heart. And she still hasn't moved from her position at the doorway.
"Aww, are you going to run to mummy again Olive? Like you always did in primary school? Remember when you wet yourself? Ha! You were the laughing stock of the year!" Mia snarls at her and she flinches, effected by her hurtful remark. I should be the one who is getting hurt, not Olive. She didn't deserve it.
"Cut it out! Why are you so rude?!" I shout at them and run to the helpless Olive. She seems to be paralyzed, opening her mouth but no words coming out. "Olive, listen. Ignore them." I whisper to her but I don't know if she could hear me. The girls screech with laughter behind me as I guide Olive to our beds.
Once she's safe and is actually moving again, I turn around to face them. Tiffany is now standing up and walking towards me. I start to back away, trying to self-prepare for the upcoming fight. But as I was lost in though I didn't realise I was heading straight into a wall and I have nowhere to go. "You can't run forever Clover. You just have to face it." Now she's creeping closer to me and I hit the hard wall.
"Just please, don't do anything to Olive. She's done nothing wrong!" I stutter as Tiffany is now centimeters from my face. My breathing picks up and I could feel my heart racing. What have I gotten myself into? If someone walked in right now I would be expelled!
"Oh I won't do that, stupid," she pauses for a moment and leans in closer. I could now feel her breath on my face. "I'll just hurt you." At that moment, I realize why she wanted to get so close to me. So the impact would be worse.
I feel a heavy foot go into my leg, shooting the pain through out my whole body. I wince as my leg throbs. Tiffany laughs and hits me again, this time in the stomach. My breath hitches and I gasp for air. The impact was so bad that time I was struggling to breathe.
I could hear Mia and Rebecca chanting again and again, in the background, "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" pushing Tiffany to hurt me more. But I carry on standing with my weak legs, even though I'm panting, using all the air in my lungs. Tiffany doesn't seem to think that's enough.
She swipes at my feet and I eventually fall on my side, sending a massive pain through me. I yell out and tears fall down my face. I can't even control it anymore, it hurts too much. Olive seems to notice that I'm crying and gets up from where she was.
"Hey you! Sit back down or we'll do worse!" Rebecca orders and she obeys the command but leans sideways to get her phone. I notice what she doing and I try and grab Tiffany's attention.
"Is that all you can do?" My voice cracks but she could defiantly hear me. She flips her head back and looks at my crumbling face. I try and look like I'm not hurt at all, not even feeling a thing. At this, she doesn't seem impressed with.
"Hm, maybe another time. Anyway, I've finished with the Physical punishment. Now I think its time to...." She looks to her friends. "What do you think girls?"
Rebecca and Mia huddle in to think of a plan. I peer towards Olive and her thumbs are texting away. Thankfully she's unseen as most of the attention is drawn towards me. Olive looks up at me and winks, showing that she's got help.
"Tiffany! We should lock her up in the Bathroom for 10 minutes!" Rebecca shouts to her leader. She seems to be impressed with the result but not fully into it.
"Maybe not just 10 minutes, perhaps an hour? 2? What do you think Clover?" She bends down to me and I glare into her face.
"I don't mind. As long as afterward I can go tell the head teacher about this and you will be expelled." I say sweetly and Tiffany's face doesn't look impressed.
"Lock her up for 3," Tiffany says bluntly. Mia and Rebecca start to walk towards me, grinning from ear to ear. I only then realized what I got myself into. My pulse was getting, even more, quicker than it already was and my palms started to get sweaty.
Not only that, in the corner of my eye I could see Olive panicking like mad, her thumbs typing faster to the person. If anything she was worrying more than me. But I was about to leave her and then she would be alone with the Mean Girls. And I couldn't imagine what kind of things they would do to her.
So I'm not standing down without a fight.
The two girls tried to pick me up but I kicked at them, almost hissing like a cat. They both backed away, turning to their leader. And she didn't look happy.
"It's just a pity little girl who has no strength and tried to save her friends. There're not many things she can do to you with that weak body of hers." Tiffany cackles so Mia and Rebecca try to approach me again. But this time with more force that I have trouble holding them back.
One of them grabs my leg from my attempt to kick them and Mia snatches at my other. Now they have both my legs and I'm fallen onto my back. My only weapon now is my arms and flinging them helplessly around is obviously not working. And to make matters worse, I have an audience of 2. One of them is screaming and the other is looking likes she about to faint.
A sudden jolt of pain goes through my arm as someone steps on my hand. I lose my defense and try and look at the damage but I'm too late as she's already grabbed it.
"Yes, Rebecca! Keep doing that and you'll steal my job!" Tiffany shouts and I cringe. Does she treat her friends like co-workers in crime? But Rebecca seems fond of the approval from her 'master'.
Meanwhile, Mia tries to catch my other arm but is failing miserably. It's almost amusing how she tries so hard to please her boss but can't. She starts to frustrated so Rebecca joins in to help, also while holding my leg and other arm.
After ages of trying to catch my arm, they finally did. They seem pretty confident with their capture and pulls me into the bathroom. My back scraped against the tile floor and I try and take in my new surroundings.
"3
2
1!" They both drop my arms and legs to the ground and sprint out. I try and pull myself up as fast as I could but it wasn't quick enough. By the time I was on my feet, the door was already shut.
I could hear the door locking. I was trapped.
"Have fun for the next 3 hours!" Tiffany shouts in. Oh great.
**********************************************************************************
Yes I'm finished! I was trying really hard to finish this as quick as I possibly could! And I did but with some late night writing ;)
I usually plan out a chapter before I write it and for some reason, the chapter I've planned is turning out to be so long that I have to split it into 3. I just hope that my next one actually finishes it.
My next task though is to think about the new chapter. And I have a total mind blank! I guess I need to sort that out before a start a new chapter.
Talking about new chapters, I don't know how long it's going to take me to write my next one because I'm really busy this weekend. But I will try and make it on time!
Bye!
