I started to open my eyes and once I did I shot right up colliding with someone’s head.
“Oww. God that hurt” I placed my hand on my head and then took it off when it began to stop hurting. I glanced up to see Fayt with an apologetic smile on his face.
“Sorry”
“Huh...oh right yeah it’s okay”
“How long was I passed out for?”
“Quite a long time erm actually it’s time for school that’s what I came to tell you. It was quite funny Blake thought you had a concussion. He started worrying a lot”
“Oh... WAIT SCHOOL?”
I got up and realized I was in my bedroom so I grabbed my jean shorts with a long top to go with them. Fayt was gone by the time I turned around so I walked into the bathroom and had a shower then brushed my teeth and got changed. It didn’t take long, I glanced at my clock and I had half an hour before we would go so I blow-dried my hair then set my bag over my shoulder, and went down the stairs once I got down I headed for the kitchen to grab something to eat.
“Hey Claire morning” I glanced at Helen who had a big smile on her face
“Morning, can you pass me some of that orange juice?”
She passed it to me and then started to talk “ so are you okay?”
“Yeah, I am actually. You?”
“Peachy keen” I smiled at her words she always says that to make me smile and it works every time.
“Erm you’re riding with Jason again along with Fayt his car has broken down again” she gave me an apologetic smile and walked out of the kitchen.
I sipped my orange juice and then followed her outside. I sat in Jason’s car at the back and we started to drive off. It was pretty silent the whole way to school Fayt tried to bring up convocations but they always died in the end.
As soon as we made it to school I jumped out of the car and headed for class knowing that the bell had already gone. Once I went into drama the teacher came up to me.
“Oh Claire hi erm the headmistress would like to see you in her office now please”
Second day of school and I’m already called to the headmistress’s office. Great. I made my way to her office. Once I got there I knocked on her door.
“Come in”
“Hey Miss, you-” I suddenly stopped when I saw sitting on one of the chairs was my dad.
“Claire please sit down” I made my way to the seat next to my dad and sat down for the worse to come.
“Claire I brought your father here today as he seems to be worried. He said that you have not come home in 2 days. What is your explanation for that?”
“I’m staying at a friend’s remember dad?”
He gave me a smile and shook his head and said “honey you didn’t tell me”
“Sorry I must have forgotten”
“Well, Claire make sure you are home after school, and then you can discuss it. I also brought your dad here to talk about your condition. Now I know this is hard on you but do you really think it’s a good idea to stay here at school?”
“Yes, I do. I feel fine”
“Okay if you are sure and your dad thinks it’s best then it’s okay honey you may go back to class it was a pleasure to meet you Mr. Dawson” she shook hands with my dad and we both walked out.
“What the hell are you doing here dad?”
“I need money and I couldn’t find your skinny little ass. I don’t care where you are I just need money to buy beer so give me your money Claire”
“I don’t have any”
“CLAIRE DON’T YOU LIE TO ME”
“Keep it down people will hear you”
My dad looked around for anyone and when he didn’t find anyone he slapped me across the face and took something out of his pocket.
“Give me your money Claire and you can have these back”
I looked in his hand to see MY PILLS IN HIS HAND. I NEEDED THEM MORE THAN EVER. So I dug and gave him my money. He snatched it out of my hand. He was about to give me my pills but he opened them and dropped them all over the floor. I tried to stop him but he pushed me on the floor. He walked away stepping on every single one of them. I grabbed the bottle with one in it and placed it in my bag. I quickly stood up when the bell rang and loads of students came out of class. I remembered I had English with that Damon guy so I made my way to class once I got there I noticed Damon was already seated. I made my way to the back when someone caught my attention. Jason. I didn’t know he was in this class and when I stared at him he gave me a smirk and winked.
