Behind the Veil

Chapter 3

"Hey Oscar." I whispered into his ear. His fur tickling the small piece of skin underneath my nose. I giggled lightly. "You certainty know how to please a woman." My lips turning up into a soft smile. "Guess where I get to go today. The contemporary art museum. I'll get to see all the paintings, and for free so that my mother and father won't have to pay, how lucky am I! Well I better start getting ready. Don't want to be late." I put on the nicest clothes I had. My white shorts with small flowers etched into the bottom which made them uneven. They stood out against my tanned legs and were nearly covered by my loose blue top which slid off, revealing half of my shoulder and my bra strap which was white with pink polka dots. I put a little bit of make-up on as it was a very posh trip and put my hair into a messy bun. Content, I ran downstairs into the bathroom, brushed my teeth went to the toilet and grabbed my bag slinging it across my shoulder. I kissed my parent on the cheek, stole the burnt toast they always left for me, smeared butter on it, and took a bit of money from the top drawer in case I wanted to buy myself something. "Bye!" I shouted over the top of the slamming door. "Have fun, and take lot's of pictures!" I barely heard my mothers voice, just about audible before I ran down the stairs and on to the pavement. Quickly I picked up my bike from the floor and peddled fast down the hill, the adrenaline filling my veins as I saw my school not far away from me excitement bubbling inside of me for the school trip to start.

The cries of "yes miss" sounded the small classroom. Me, Chaiki and Fabio were sitting in the back whispering and giggling of how we would be remembered in the museum. Our plan was a genius. And I couldn't wait to complete it and be successful. "Come on class. Quickly, single file and into the coach." Our teacher commanded us. Me and the boys barged to the front of the line to the back. "Quick." I shouted over the ruckus of my classmates to my friends. They laughed and followed my lead, running up the short steps of the coach and sprinting to the back before any one else could get there. As I collapsed onto the seat and panted heavily, Fabio jumped on top of me and tickled me. "Okay, okay. You can have the middle seat." I gave in. "Ha ha." He said in success. I was about to punch him playfully on his shoulder when the school bully walked up to us and told us to scram. "Now why on earth would we do that." I asked rhetorically standing up, crossing my arms over my chest. Suddenly he put his hands up and pushed me back into my seat, causing me to land painfully onto my back. I gasped in short shock and looked up to see orange hair in my face, arms ready in a fighting stance. In a swift movement Chaiki punched the bullies face and sent him tumbling on to his ass. "You ever touch her again. And I will personally make sure you end up in hospital." Chaiki told him very calmly and in a slightly protective tone. "Now apologise." He announced. "Hey Chaiki, leave it, it's okay." I tried to convince him. "No it's not okay, he hurt you, and now he has to apologise. The bully slyly grinned his the corner of his mouth turning into a nasty, purple bruise, yet he looked more handsome then before. "Why would I want to apologise to that little whore." He spat the last word like I truly was one. Like I was venom. At this both boys lounged at him, and the bullies sidekicks joined the fight. "Stop!" I screamed. "Stop it." I begged. However before any damage could occur, the teacher jogged up to them, and pulled the bullies and his mate's ear, and dragged them both cruelly away. Looking over her shoulder she said, "I'll came back later to deal with the three of you." Her eyes deadly. If looks could kill there would be three funerals that very moment. As they sat down they turned to me and asked me if I was okay. "He shouldn't have said that. I'll kill him." Chaiki motioned to no one in particular. His eyes and words full of corrosion. "Did he hurt you?" Fabio asked me. "No I'm okay just a bit-" Before I could continue Fabio bombarded me with another question. "Okay right now I feel very attacked and I came here for some fun. So what do you say we forget about this stupid fight and carry on with the day as if nothing happened?" I started getting slightly mad at both of them."Whatever." Chaiki grumbled. I sighed this was going to be a long day.
