The Rich Girl's Nerd

Chapter Fourteen

My alarm clock wakes me up at seven o'clock, the lyrics of 'Love Runs Out' play through my otherwise silent room. I sing along to the song as I get out of bed. I put my uniform on, put some make up on, brush my hair and brush my teeth. I turn the music off and unplug my phone then go downstairs, continuing to hum the song I was just listening to.

I walk into the kitchen, Joshua is sat eating his breakfast but turns to look at me when I walk in.

"Why are you so happy?" He asks.

"Last week of school before the holidays." I say, cheerily.

"You do realise it is only a week."

"Yep, but at least there is no school." I say as I walk to the cupboard to make my breakfast.

"I suppose so." He says, then goes back to eating his toast.

I put bread in the toaster and make myself a coffee. I finish making my breakfast and sit next to Joshua at the island.

Katherine and I arrive at school, Joshua just left us to meet his friends. We are just about to go into school when Alex comes up to us.

"Morning." He says.

"Morning." Katherine and I say.

James was walking with Alex but he just walked past us and went inside. The three of us go inside, a few teachers smile at us as we walk past them. Alex leaves us when he sees Rebecca and Zach. Me and Katherine go the cafeteria and sit with our friends, not all of them are here, just Paige, Ava and Lucy. Noah and Poppy never come into here in a morning.

The bell goes and we go to the lesson, I take my PE bag out of my locker and go to PE.

"Why were you with my boyfriend on Saturday?" Sophie snaps at me.

We are sat with our groups in PE and Sophie is in my group.

"I didn't want to be, if it was up to me I wouldn't see him at all."

"Yeah but you did see him."

"It isn't like we actually had a conversation-"

I was cut off by Katherine. " Neither of us want to be sat with you right now but we are. Do you really think she wants to spend time with your backstabbing boyfriend." She snaps.

Sophie turns her back and doesn't reply to what Katherine said.

The day seems to go really fast, I am now in last lesson which is maths. We are going over some old topics because we have exams soon. After the holidays we have mock exams then our real exams in May and June. We are currently going over the Pythagoras theorem which is one topic I sort of understand.

At three thirty we get let out, Katherine and I wait for Joshua then go home.

We get back to my house and I unlock the door, only my step mums car was in the driveway. I walk in, Katherine and Joshua come in behind me.

No one is inside not even Meghan, the only person in the house is the cleaner who is never normally here when we get in from school. She is dusting the coffee table when we step inside.

"Hi Elle, do you know where every one is?" I ask.

"Hello Bella. Your mum and dad are at the office still, Meghan is at her friends house. Your dad asked me to stay here until you got back to tell you."
