Luke, Jai, James- 16, Year 10

Skip (Daniel) - 17, Year 11

Beau- 18, Year 12 

 

Talia’s P.O.V:

It was an average Monday morning, I was sitting in the gym with my friend Danielle waiting for my P.E teacher to arrive. I was texting my bestfriend Luke Brooks, yes he is the guy from the Janoskians. We’ve been bestfriends for about 4 years now and I don’t know where I would be without him. He can get annoying sometimes but I love him to death and he always knows how to make me smile. 

Danielle: So on Friday do you want to have a movie night at my place?

Talia: mmmhmm

Danielle: I’ll get mum to buy us a stack of food, what do you want?

Talia: Sorry, what?

Danielle: Have you been paying attention to anything I’ve said?

Talia: Umm..

Danielle: what have I been talking about?

Talia: All I heard was food, I’m sorry Luke’s been texting me all morning

Danielle: It’s crazy how much time youse spend talking to each other, anyways, what do you think about a movie night?

*teacher walks in*

‘Alright class, run 5 laps around the gym to warm up’

Talia: UGHHHH seriously?

After P.E it was recess and Luke told me to meet him at his locker, on the way there I got some idiots in my class calling me ugly and fat. I act like what they said didn’t phase me, but inside it still hurt a little. I’m not the most beautiful girl in the world, I have dark brown, thick wavy hair with hazel eyes and straight teeth (only because I had braces). I have olive skin but my body isn’t anything special, I wish I was thinner.  When I got to Luke’s locker he was in a pretty shit mood for a Monday morning, I hope nothing terrible had happened.

Talia: why do you look so annoyed?

Luke: Mia keeps harassing me.

Talia: Ugh, tell that bitch to leave you alone.

Luke: I’ve tried so many time, but I swear she doesn’t get the message

Talia: You’re too soft, that’s why you should let me deal with her.

Luke: If I let you handle things, she’d end up in hospital and no, I don’t want that happening

Talia: Seriously, let me talk to her. What harm can it do?

I told Luke to go hang with the boys and I’d catch up with him later because I went to go find Mia. This girl needs stop being so obsessed with Luke and let him live his life. They broke up about a year ago and all she does is stalk him, Luke says he’s not freaked out, but I can tell he’s more scared than he’s letting on.

Talia: Oi Mia.

Mia: What?

Talia: You need to stop harassing Luke and let him get on with his life. Move on, you guys are over. Stop giving him a hard time

Mia: Were meant to be together, I know Luke will realise it soon.

Talia: He’s creeped out by you, give him some space to breathe.

Mia: No, I know he still has feelings for me. I will not give up

Talia: I don’t even know why I bothered to try and talk some sense into you..  

After Recess Danielle and I had double construction with James and Jai. Danielle and Jai have always been good friends, but I sense that she’s starting to develop feelings for him now and I think I might give their relationship a little push forward.

Talia: Oi James, come over here for a sec I need help with the bandsaw

James: You idiot, it’s the easiest machine in the workshop

Talia: YOU idiot, can’t you see what i’m trying to do?

James: OHH yeah, Danielle and Jai aye?

Talia: Now you understand

Danielle’s P.O.V:

It was odd for Talia to need help on the bandsaw, but then I realised that she was trying to get me and Jai alone. I think i’m starting to get feelings for Jai, but I haven’t told Talia yet, although I think she already has a fair idea.

Jai: So what are you up to this weekend?

Danielle: not much, was just gonna have a movie night with Talia what about you?

Jai: Me and the boys are having a gathering at mine on Saturday night, do you want to come?

Danielle: ah, yeah sure. Can Talia come too?

Jai: Sure, I think Luke will probably invite her anyway

On the way home from school, I walked back to Talia’s house with her. She seemed a bit frustrated.

Danielle: Whats up with you? You’ve been acting pretty quiet all day

Talia: Mia’s giving Luke a hard time

Danielle: STILL? Hasn’t this been going on for ages now?

Talia: Yeah,  she’s practically stalking him and it’s getting to him now

Danielle: Have you tried talking to her?

Talia: Yes, but I swear everything I said, went in one ear and out the other

Danielle: Typical, you’ve gotta work out another way to get through to her before she turns into a complete nutcase..
