That night went by slowly for Elliot. All she wanted to do was curl up into a ball and cry. They all ordered a pizza, but Elliot hardly ate hers. The night was coming to an end and Elliot and Addie got dressed into their pj’s. They watched a film until they were both asleep.
Now

“El! Adz! Wake up!” Brian shouted.

Elliot turned over onto her front and gave Brian the finger. Addie just groaned and got out of bed.

“Elliot, wake up!” Brian shouted again.

“Piss off,” Elliot mumbled.

“Now, now, I haven’t swore yet but you have. That’s not fair is it?” Brian said as he sat on her bed.

“Go away,” Elliot said as she turned to face the opposite way.

“No, you need to wake up. It half past six, but Matt wants to see you after your shower and stuff.”

“What do I get out of it?” Elliot asked as she glimpsed at him.

“Whatever you want, now get the fuck up!”

“Okay, okay. I’m up.”

Elliot walked over to her closet and got out a pair of purple skinny jeans and a ‘Papa Roach’ t-shirt. She set them on her bed and saw that Brian as still there.

“What do you want?” she asked him.

“Making sure that you don’t get back into bed, but seeing as your going to set your clothes on the bed, I guess I should go.”

As Brian was walking out, Addie was walking in with just a towel around her.

“Hey Addie,” he said as he closed the door.

Addie’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She looked over at Elliot and laughed nervously.

“It’s normal for Brian to do that, even if he is with Michelle.” Elliot confirmed Addie’s unasked question. Addie nodded her head and got her clothes out from her bag.

“I’m gonna have a shower, you can do whatever you want.” Elliot said as she grabbed a towel from her closet. Addie nodded her had while she was putting her red skinny jeans on.

Elliot walked out of her room and walked into the bathroom. Turning on the shower she stripped from her clothes and did her shower routine.

Grabbing her towel from the side, Elliot wrapped herself up. Walking to the sink and wiping away the steam from the mirror she looked at her reflection. Her blue hair was drenched and went past her boobs, her eyes were still slightly red from the lack of sleep and her lip ring was dark against her tan. Even though her skin was tanned, she was pale to everyone else.
Grabbing her toothbrush, Elliot brushed her teeth and washed her face. She rinsed her mouth and spitting out she turned off the tap and walked to her room. Addie was sitting on her bed while straightening her hair.

“You looked like a blue rat!” Addie laughed onc she saw her friend through the mirror.

“Thanks!” Elliot said sarcastically.

Elliot shut her door and rubbed herself dry. Grabbing her undergarments she put them on and shoved on her clothes. Plugging in her hair dryer, Elliot sat on her bed and started to dry her hair. It didn’t take long for the girls to be done with their hair and make up. They both walked downstairs to grab breakfast.

“You, me and the rest of the guys are having a talk after school.” Matt said once Elliot and Addie walked into the kitchen.

“Good morning to you too!” Elliot said as she made herself and Addie some cereal.

“Don’t be sarcastic, and I want you to apologise to Jimmy later as well.”

“What! No way!” Elliot shouted at her brother.

“Do you want to go back to Mom’s and Dad’s?” Matt asked sternly.

Elliot shook her head and sat next to Johnny. Addie sat next to Zacky. Elliot looked at her and laughed to herself. Addie kicked her under the table. Their breakfast was a quite one until Brian came in with Valary and Michelle.

“Val!” Matt said while giving his girlfriend a hug and kiss. Elliot smiled at the twins and ate her breakfast
.
“So Elliot, I heard that you got into a fight? Who with?” Val asked while sitting down next to Matt.

“Yeah, I got into a fight and it was London Silver, Leana’s sister.” Elliot said quietly before she got up and cleared her bowl. Addie did the same and smiled weakly at Elliot.

“Why did you have a fight with London?” Michelle asked.

Of course you would ask, Elliot thought to herself while looking at Michelle.

“It’s personal,”

“Personal or not we’re going to have a talk about it.” Matt said while looking at Elliot. Elliot sighed and nodded her head.

“Where’s Amy?” Elliot asked.

“She’s going to be gone for few weeks, her coach needs her.” Matt said. The guys and the twins go into talking about some other stuff while Addie and Elliot went into the living room.
“You want me to get your bag and phone while I go up?” Elliot asked Addie. Addie nodded her head and looked through the channels. It was twenty past seven and they needed to get going quite soon.

Elliot rushed around and got her bag as well as Addie’s and both of their phones. Slipping her shoes on Elliot then walked out of her room. She ran downstairs and chucked Addie’s bag next to her. Addie was tying her shoe laces when Zacky came in.

“I made you guys lunch,” he said while handing it to them.

“Thanks Zack!” Elliot said while putting on her black hoodie.

“Bye guys!” Elliot shouted s she made her way to the door. The guys and Val and Michelle all shouted bye back.

“Thanks for letting me stay Matt!” Addie shouted while following Elliot. Matt shouted out ‘It’s okay,’ before the girls made there way to the door.

The walk to school consisted talking about two bands, ‘Atreyu’ and ‘HIM’. Standing outside Elliot and Addie saw London and her ‘friends’.

“Promise me that you will never turn out to be like them.” Elliot said while they walked into the school.

“Why would I want to be like them? They are just bullies. So, I promise.” Addie said as she went to her locker.

“I won’t be in class today, and the rest of the week.” Elliot said as she leant against her locker.

“What? Why?”

“Mr Fayland want to isolate me.”

“But Elliot, who am I going to sit with in class? I’m not sitting with Zara Louise because she just bitches about everyone. And most people hardly speak to me.”

“Addie, I still see you, just not during school.”

The bell went and the girls hugged and went in different directions, Addie going to the stairs while Elliot went down the corridor.

Elliot knocked on Mr Fayland’s door then entered. He was sitting in his chair with a black suit on, his brown hair sticking in whatever direction it wanted to. He looked up at Elliot with his doe eyes and motioned her to come in.

“Now Miss Sanders, you will be isolated for the rest of the week, as you already know. This does not mean that you can get away with your school work, you will still be doing it, but not with your classmates.”

“Okay Sir,” Elliot said as she stared at her hands.

“Well, seeing as it is still Homeroom, I guess you can go on your phone for the rest of the time.” Mr Fayland said as he got out some files and started to read them.

Elliot grabbed hr phone from her pocket and unlocked the code. She went to her messages and decided to text Matt.

Hey, is Leana coming over tonight with Jimmy? It didn’t take long for her brother to reply.

Matty

I don’t think so, but if she does you can say sorry to her as well. I know that it might seem like it’s a big deal, that because it is. You attacked her sister. Elliot sent a quick ‘Okay,’ then looked for Amy’s number.

Why didn’t you tell me that you were staying at training for a few weeks? Amy didn’t take long to send her message.

Amy

Because it’s half a lie. I told Matt that I was staying at one of the girls’ house because I’m staying at Dan’s, don’t tell him please. X

Elliot silently laughed at her sisters tactics. Elliot sent a text to her sister saying that she wouldn’t. The bell went off and Elliot put her phone back in her pocket after locking it.
“What do you have first?” Mr Fayland asked while closing the files. Elliot took out her timetable and saw what she had.

“Latin.”

“Right, well we will get you some work now then.” With that Mr Fayland and Elliot made their way to the door.

The second bell went and Elliot as following Mr Fayland.

“Which class are you in?” he asked once they were in the language section of the school.
“3 Sir,” Mr Fayland nodded his head and they continued to walk to Elliot’s class.

Mr Fayland walked into hr class and Elliot waited outside. He came out five minutes later with her work. They walked down the corridors and past his office and past her locker to the detention rooms.

“I will come and get you for period two, until then get on with your work, it explains it all on the first sheet.”

The teacher, Mr King, nodded at the principal and looked at Elliot.

“Elliot,” he greeted her.

“Why aren’t you teaching?” she asked as she sat down.

“Because of all the hassle that I got last year from two certain student, I decided to cut down on the lessons.”

“Who were the students?”

“Elliot, you know perfectly well. Get on with your work.” Mr King teased her.

Mr King was a math teacher, and was Elliot’s and Addie’s favourite teacher but they were too much to handle in anyone’s classes. He had taught them both since they came to the school and stopped this year.

Elliot looked down at her work and got on with it. To her, her work was fairly easy, all she had to do was translate the texts into English or translate them into Latin.

Her forty five minutes went quite quickly to her. Mr Fayland came back as soon as the bell went. They both waited for the second bell and then made their way to her next class. Elliot gave Mr Fayland directions to her class and she waited outside. The made their way back to the detention rooms once he got her work.

“The work you have to do is on the top sheet. Mr King will stay in here with you for the whole of break. And she is loud to go on hr phone once break starts.” Mr Fayland addressed them both before walking out of the room.

Elliot made her way to her seat and leaned back.

“Sir?”

“Yes Elliot?”

“Can you let Addie in here at break?”

Mr King hesitated a moment before eying Elliot over.

“Why would I do that Miss Sanders?”

“Well, you love having us in your presents, so I just though that she could come in here.”
Elliot replied, trying her best not to laugh.

“I’ll make a deal with you. If you don’t distract me from my work and you do a of you work, I will let Addison in here. But you can only distract me if you need my help on the work.”

Elliot thought for a minute, then looked back at Mr King. She nodded her head then sat on hr chair properly and looked over hat she had to do on her work.

Eliot was so caught up on her work she didn’t realize what time it as. Once the bell went for break it shocked her a bit. Eliot looked up at Mr King and she saw him nod his head, silently allowing Addie in the room.

Elliot go her phone out and looked for Addie’s number. Once she saw it she started to text her brunette friend.

Come in the detention room, the one closer to the stairs? Once Elliot sent the text she waited for a reply but never got on. She sighed and put her head on the table.

Addie walked up the stairs and turned a right to see the detention rooms she went to the first one and opened the door. She saw Mr King and he smiled at her. Addie returned the smile and walked over to Elliot as quietly as she could.

“WAKE UP YOU LAZY DUCK!” Addie shouted. Elliot jumped out of her sat and glared at her best friend, where as Mr King chuckled at the two of them.

“If Jimmy heard you call me a duck he would kill you.”

“Yeah, yeah whatever.”

“How was class without me?” Elliot asked.

“Well…it was um…eventful?” Addie asked not making eye contact.

“What happened?”

“London’s bragging about Leana and Jimmy. Apparently they went out last night and Jimmy bought Leana and London anything they wanted.”

“Anything else?” Elliot asked but regretted it.

“London and her “friends” are talking about you. Saying ho much of a slut you are and are saying that you must have paid the football team to have sex with you. Listen before you say anything, I know it’s not true. There messing with you. For example, the blonde guy…what’s his name? Um…Kyle?”

“Kyle Green?”

“Yeah, him. He was saying something but London glared at him. He was saying “It’s not even tru-”. London made him stop saying hat he was about to say!”

“Addie, that doesn’t mean that people won’t believe her. If it was London’s word or Kyle’s, thy would believe London.”

Elliot looked out of the window and sighed. Tears were burning her eyes and she tried to keep them at bay.

“Elliot, I know all of this is hard on you, but you have to move on ith it. Act like nothings happened.”

“How can I do that!? The whole school is against me! For something that London Silver said! Before the rumours we had a group of friends, but over the summer that has changed because of her! How can you say act like nothings happened?”

Elliot turned back at the window and her tears feel silently. They both had forgotten that Mr King was in the room.

“Addison, I think it’s best that you leave. Break will end in a few minutes anyway.”
Addie got her bag and looked over her blue haired friend one last time before waking out.

“Elliot, I know that you might not want to hear this and think I’m not going to be sincere. But you can tell me anything okay. I man I helped you out for a few years with your parents.”
Mr King sat on the desk in front of her.

“It’s all the stress of everything.” Elliot mumbled. MR King sighed and looked at the clock.
“Mr Fayland is going to come in here any minute, so why don’t you go to the bathroom and get cleared up, I will say that you really needed to go.”

“Thanks Sir…for everything.” Mr King nodded his head and walked back over to his desk.
Eliot grabbed her bag and as soon as she went out of the door, the bell went. She covered her face, knowing that her make up had ran down her face. Elliot hurried into the girls bathroom and looked at her face in the mirror. Sure enough her make up had been ruined. Elliot washed her face then re-applied it all, making sure that she was okay to walk back out.
The second bell went before she was out of the bathroom but Elliot wanted to walk as slow as she possibly could. She walked inside the room she has to spend all week in and saw her work on her desk.

“Seeing as you have statistics I told Mr Fayland that I could find something for you to do.” Mr King said as she sat down. Elliot put her bag down and nodded her head. She got on with her work and looked out of the window every few minutes.

It was a normal sunny day, with a few clouds lingering. The wind barely blew and the temperature was hot. Elliot loved these days but didn’t like the fact that it was a school day. If this was the weekend or the holidays, Elliot would try ad get a tan she really wanted or spend her day in the pool.

“Elliot, is everything okay?” Mr King said as he brought her back from her daydreams.

“Yeah, I was just thinking.”

“Anything on your mind that you want to share?”

Elliot thought about it for a minute and sighed. She knew that she could trust Mr King. So she put her pen down and leaned back in her chair.

“Matt hates me at the moment.”

“I’m sure he doesn’t hate you.”

“He does, Sir, he really does. And it’s all because of the bitch London Sliver.” Mr King ignored her cussing and sighed to himself. He sat in the desk next to her and had a full on conversation with her.

“And what has London said to make you this annoyed?”

“She making up rumours about me! I haven’t done anything to hr and she makes shit up about me for no reason! My brothers mate, Jimmy, is going out with her sister and Addie told me that she is bragging about what he bought her and stuff.”

Mr King had heard all of Addie’s and Eliot’s conversation, but didn’t want to interrupter her mid rant.

“And to top it all off I think I’m falling in love with him.” Eliot said this more quietly than her over words. She wasn’t ashamed of herself, she was just tired of trying to make herself noticed.

“Does Jimmy know that you like him?” Mr King asked nicely. Eliot shook her head and sighed.

“No, but it won’t matter anyway because of who he is. He’s in an uprising band. They have one record out what they have been doing form 1999, it’s now 2002 and my brothers band are writing more stuff. I’m happy and everything but fans all over will want to be apart of their lives for the money, and that’s what Leana is basically doing.”

“Well she obviously doesn’t like him the way that you do. She likes him because of the fame. Don’t worry about it, everything will soon change because Jimmy will see that Leana isn’t the one for him and might see you in a different way.”

“This is why you re my favourite teacher.” Eliot laughed. Mr King smiled and walked back over to his desk. He opened a draw and tossed a small bag over to Elliot.

She opened it and laughed.

“Thanks Sir!”

Mr King usually had candy for his favourite pupils. Elliot and Addie never received any when he was their teacher because of how badly they behaved.


The day went quick and Elliot had done all of her work. It was only a few more minutes to the end of the day.

“Sir, I would like to thank you for today“

“Don‘t worry about it. We all have our bad days.” Elliot smiled.
The bell went and she walked out of the door and walked to the gates. She knew that one of the guys would pick her up. Arin walked over to her and smiled.

“Hey, I was wondering if we could hang out more often.”

“Yeah, sure but it can’t be tonight. I’ll text you.”

“Okay. Elliot, have you seen Addie?”

“No why?”

“She said she was gonna walk with me cause she knows that your in shit tonight.”

“Yeah, she might still be in school, do you want me to phone her or something?” Elliot asked.

“If you don’t mind.”

Elliot grabbed her phone from her pocket and searched for Addie’s number. She dialled it and waited for her to pick up.

“I thought you was in trouble tonight?”

“That’s a nice way of answering the phone.” Elliot said as she saw Zacky’s car come closer.

“What do you want El?”

“I was just wondering where you are, Arin is here with me waiting for you.” She help up finger to Zacky as he got out of the car.

“Shit, well I’m at the greenhouse. I nearly forgot then. Tell him to meet me there.”

“Will do. Love you!”

“Love ya too!” Elliot then hung up and told Arin where she was. Thy said their goodbyes and lot made her way to Zacky.

“Hey,” he said as she was in front of him.

“Who’s there?” Elliot said looking down at her feet.

“Everyone… I’m sorry chuck.” Zacky hugged her and helped her get into the car. She fastened her set belt and pushed the button to make the window roll down.

The radio was quietly playing and Elliot barely paid attention to anything. All she could worry about was Matt and Jimmy.

What if he hates me? What if Matt will send me back to Mom’s and Dad’s? Would Matt do that? Elliot thought to herself as they got closer and closer to the house. Zacky kept on looking over at the distressed teen and sighed.
Zacky pulled up and Elliot just looked at the house. Zacky tried to get her attention and after a few minutes, she turned to him. Tears were brimming her eyes and she knew that she couldn’t keep them in. Zacky held her hand and wrapped his arms around hr the best as he could.
“It’s gonna be okay, alright”
“No it’s not. There all gonna hate me. Matt’s gonna send me back to my parents and I don’t wanna go.”

“Matt won’t do that. If he does, I'll talk him out of it, okay?” Zacky felt her nodded her held into his shoulder and they both got out of the car.

They walked up the path way and Eliot stopped in front of the door. She took a deep breath and opened the door. She put her bag down and let Zacky close the door. She could hear laughter coming from the kitchen. Slowly she walked to where she could hear them. Matt stopped laughing and put a serious face on. Everyone looked at what he was looking at and saw Elliot. The laughter died out and the tension was thick.

“Elliot, sit down.” Matt said as he watched her every move.

There were two spaces left. One for her and the other for Zacky. Elliot sat in the chair next to Brian and let Zacky take the one next to Jason Berry.

“Now, as we said this morning, what do you need to say.” Matt said while nodding towards Leana and Jimmy.

“I’m sorry for
hurting your sister, Leana. And Jimmy, I’m sorry for everything.” Only Brian, Jimmy and Zacky noticed the way Eliot said the way ‘hurting’. Brian flicked her then shook his head.

“Right, now we can get talking about the way you behaved yesterday. For anyone who doesn’t know, Brian, Jimmy and myself got called into school yesterday for Elliot. Mr Fayland said that she had walked out of second period and missed most of third period. Can you explain what happened from when you went to school to when us three saw you?” Elliot looked at her brother then everyone else. They were all looking at her.

“I met Addie at my locker, we talked for a while. Then I went to Homeroom. There were whispers about me. I knew what they were saying because they were all around the school. First period wasn’t too bad, the whispering didn’t stop and I got annoyed. I mean ho wouldn’t? What they were saying wasn’t true! Then the bell went and I got out of class as fast as I could, but the whispering was everywhere. Everyone was taking about me. Second period we were waiting for Mr Rill, London shouted something and I got even more annoyed, we had a sating plan, I usually sit next to Addie but the teacher moved me to sit next to London. She said some things and I grabbed my things and walked out. That’s all.” Elliot said as she looked at her hands that were on the table.

“That is not it! We are going to talk about al of this!” Matt sternly said as he looked over his youngest sister.

“What else do you want me to say!?” Elliot shouted. Brian put a hand on her back and rubbed circles until she calmed down.

“Elliot, I told you that we are going into depth of this conversation, so that means that you are going to tell us what the whispers were about.” Matt said as he tried to calm down.

Elliot looked at Jimmy and saw that Leana was holding his hand, she looked away and sighed. Why does this have to happen to me? She asked herself as she closed her eyes.

“The whispers were what London made up, there not even true.” Elliot barley whispered. The
room was quite but everyone still strained their ears.

“And what did my sister say?” Leana said as she looked at Elliot in disgust.

“She asked if it was true that I…if I’ve slept with the football team. Matt I promise that I haven’t. I’m still a virgin.” Elliot tried to get her brothers attention but he just ignored her and went outside.

Elliot put her head on the table and cried. Why does my life have to be so fucked up? She thought as she heard some of the people go outside.

“My sister is probably telling the truth Sanders,” Leana whispered in Elliot’s ear. Elliot only cried harder and wished that she could just disappear.

“Elliot,” she looked up and saw Johnny. “Don’t let it get to you. Soon you will be out of High School and possibly go to Collage or even University, but until then think about your grades not the people.”

Eliot nodded and got up to hug him. He hugged back then let go. Lacey weakly smiled at her as she went out side to find her brother.

“Matt?” she called out softly.

“Elliot just go to your room. I’ll be up there in a bit.” Matt said while looking the other way. Elliot nodded her head and made her way to her room. She picked up her bag and walked up the stairs. She got out her iPod and put in her headphones. She scrolled through the songs and looked for the one she wanted, ‘Chop Suey’ by System Of A Down.

She walked into her room and was surprised.

“Why are you in here?”

“Because I wanted to speak to you.”

“Jimmy, I’m not in the mood for talking right now.”

“And why’s that my little duck?” Elliot smiled a little and sat on her double bed.

“Because no one believes me.” Jimmy sat next to her and lay down. She sighed and lay down next to him.

“They do believe you, it’s just that Matt is a bit overprotective.”

“He really doesn’t believe me Jimmy. I didn’t even sleep with the football team.”

“So London is making up bullshit?” Jimmy asked as he turned his head to look at her.

“Yeah,” Eliot looked into his eyes. They were a bit deeper than her eye colour, but thy were still blue. She sighed then looked down at his lips, not noticing that he was doing the same.

Jimmy leaned in and Elliot did the same. Their lips met and Jimmy pushed his lips a bit harder. Jimmy nipped her bottom lip asking for entrance and she let him in. Their tongues battling for dominance. Jimmy pushed himself away from her and Elliot sighed, she knew it was too good to last.

“I shouldn’t have done that. You shouldn’t have kissed back. Shit! We can’t tell anyone.” Jimmy said as he walked to the window and looked out.

“I know.” Elliot said quietly as she got under her covers.

“I guess I’ll be going then, and please don’t tell anyone about what just happened.”

And with that Jimmy walked out. Elliot cried herself to sleep, not caring about a damn thing in the world. All that she wanted was to curl up with Jimmy and she couldn’t have that.

Notes

Sorry for not updating, I have school and coursework to do as well as write stories on different sites. Now, I'm not against Leana or anything, it's just for the plot so no hate about her please.
