Niamh's pov

We were now on the bus to Belfast, it was scarily easy to lie to our guardians. I was sitting at the window next to James, and Michelle's huge fucking suitcase.

"We're going to get caught. I just know it." Clare said.

"We're not going to get caught, Clare. Because, as far as our Mas are concerned, me, you and James are at Erin's house, and Erin, Niamh and Orla are round mine." Michelle explained.

"But we're not round yours, Michelle. We're on a bus to Belfast." Orla smiled.

"I can't, I cannot explain it to her again, I'm going to scream."

"What's in the suitcase, Michelle?" James asked.

"Vodka."

"You've brought an entire suitcase full of vodka?" I asked.

because I wanted some.

"No. There's some mixers as well. I'm not a savage. You can mix vodka with cider, right?"

"God I'm boiling." Clare complained.

"Is it any wonder, Clare? What are you wearing?" Erin asked her.

"Yeah, you look like a fucking provo." Michelle told her.

"I don't want anyone recognising me, Okay?"

"Nobody's going to recognise you, Clare." Michelle said.

"Aye we're on the bus to Belfast." I say.

"Clare Devlin? Is that you?"

Sister fucking Micheal. What the hell is she doing here.

"Jesus Christ."

"Relax, Clare. It's the weekend. She has no authority over us at the weekend. She has no right to question us, and, if she tries to, I'll tell her as much." Erin said.

"Morning, girls."

"Morning, Sister Michael."

"What takes you to Belfast?"

"I'm not really sure that's-"

"Speak up."

"I'm not really sure that's any of your business."

fuck sake Erin

"I'm going to assume that was an ill-judged attempt at humour, Miss Quinn."

"Yes."

"Now answer the question."

"We're going to the museum." Erin replied.

"Which museum?"

"The Ulster museum." Clare said.

"What for?"

"A project, a history project." James stuttered.

"What about?"

"Ulster?" I said.

"Hm."

"That was a close one." I whispered.

"Oh, oh A history project! This web of lies we're spinning is getting out of control now, girls."
