chapter 61

Lucy's POV:

I stand in the closet looking at my reflection in the mirror and sigh at what the mirror is showing me. I get change again and take another look in the mirror.

"You look great in anything" Dad says softly

"No, this is too bright. I'm changing the jumper" I quickly change to a plain grey one and smile "ok this will do"

"Omer is downstairs"

"He is?" I smile brightly

"Uh huh"

I run out the cloest going straight downstairs "sorry Paris" I yell as I continue running after I nearly knocked her over.

"Hey Princess" Omer smiles and hugs me

"I've missed you"

"We was texting last night" he giggles

"But I haven't seen you in person and not video chat in over a week"

"Well I missed you too" he quickly kisses me whilst no one is around and we sit down to have breakfast.

Today is my first day back at school, I had to spend a week at home getting used to things and to make sure I'm stable enough to return to school. I'm excited to see Jordan and Lauren but I am nervous to go back, nervous to face the attention, nervous to see Sophie and Mia. I finished breakfast and I grab my bag making sure I got everything.

"You'll be fine, text or ring anytime you want ok?" Dad says as he hugs me

"I will" I reply as we pull away

School

We got to the lockers with no looks, no comments, no problems what so ever. "I said it will be ok" Omer smiles as he lets go of my hand to open his locker

"We still got the whole day left"

"I know that but it will be -"

"Lucy, I missed you" Lauren says interrupting Omer and hugging me

"Missed you too" I smile "hey Jordan" I say and hug him

"Glad you're back, history has been boring without you"

The day goes surprisingly good, it's a normal school day with no problems. I grab an apple and pay for it then I go to join the others at the table "Jordan don't you dare" Lauren warns

"It's not true, just a myth"

"What's not true?" I ask and take a bite of my apple

"Drinking soda with pop rocks in your mouth will make your stomach explode" Omer replies

"It's not true" Jordan shrugs about to add some soda to his mouth

"Life Ceral Mikey died" Laurens says whilst taking the can away

"Don't risk it Jord, our group won't have you which will be boring"

"Ugh fine, but in 10yrs time you'll feel stupid for believing it"

"That's fine, but what if in 10yrs time it was announced to be true as a batch was wrongly made or something. It's not a risk worth taking" I say in a serious tone

"I can't believe I'm listening to you and will miss out on this experiment. If in 10yrs time it gets proven to not be true I'm doing it"

"Ok deal" I smile and we shake on it

I notice Sophie walk in with some people and Omer wraps his arm around me pulling me closer. "You ok?" He asks quietly

"I'm ok, I think"

"Just ignore her" he kisses my cheek and breaks a bit of his cookie and feeds me.

"Wow Bhatti sharing his cookie, quick get the camera out for this rare moment" Jordan laughs

I smirk as I continue eating the cookie then I start to eat my apple. Soon the bell rings meaning I got Philosophy & Religion now, luckily Jordan is in that class with me otherwise I would be by myself with Mia and her sidekicks.

We get outside the class and I stop "I can't do this"

"Yes you can, you're strong"

"If I was strong why did I end up in Utah?"

"To get help. I promise it will be ok"

To my surprise the lesson actually went ok, just the odd looks but that's nothing major.

Home

"How did it go?" Dad asks

"It went good and we had a rare first and probably last moment off Omer" I smile

"Oh yeah? What was it then?" Dad asks looking at Omer

"He actually shared his cookie"

"Really?" Dad asks generally shocked

"Yeah, he never shares his cookies" I laugh and pull on his cheek like grandmothers do

"It was only a quater of it" he laughs

"That's still something. Right go and do homework, dinner will be ready in 2 hours"

We nod ok and go off to my room. Today did go better than expected, hopefully everything will never get that bad again.
