Chapter 6 - the next morning

Chapter 6



The next morning



The next morning Becky woke with the sun, quickly she changed into red shorts and a white T-Shirt; she bound her hair in a long ponytail then she pulled on her trainers and climbed down the ivy that hung from the wall outside of her room.



She touched down lightly on the ground and began to stretch out when she noticed a figure sat on the ground on the far side of the field. She froze but relaxed when he didn't move, he was just sat there head held high.



…Another sun riser, just like me… she thought



This was the name given to her clan, -because of their sleeping habits-. The figure got up his hair moving in the gentle wind, looked in her direction, nodded, and walked off into the distance



…I recognise him but who the hell is he?... she wondered …he looked so sad…



She pushed this to the back of her mind and set of at a steady pace for the running track, hoping to get a few laps in while it was quiet.



“Morning Michael” she called coming to a stop, he waved at her and yelled back



“All right Becks?” she nodded and started running again. She ran 5 sets of 5 laps then she stopped for a rest, her watch beeped and she glanced at it



…Well time to get back then… she climbed the stairs and smiled as she passed Kenny's, Tyson's and Max's rooms.



When she was back in her room she flicked on her radio and headed for the shower she loosened her hair and ran a brush through it singing along to her favourite song when it came on to the radio



Memories, sharp as daggers
Pierce into the flesh of today
Suicide of love took away all that matters
and buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart


She grabbed the shampoo from the shelf and knocked over her mirror, which fell on the floor.


With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness


She played air guitar as the water streamed down over her hair and onto the floor


Nailed to the cross, together
As solitude begs us to stay
Disappear in the lie forever
And denounce the power of death over our souls and secret words are said to start a war


She grabbed the conditioner and sung the last chorus at the top of her voice


With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness

Killing loneliness

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me



Wrapping a towel around her, she padded across the wooden floor; she got dressed into a black crop top with gold stars on, jeans and black high heel boots, plaited her long hair before she grabbed her backpack and headed down the stairs.



She knocked on the door to Tyson's room and was surprised to see that he was awake



“Hey Ty, Maxi, Kenny” she said dumping her bag on the floor “nice to see your awake” she laughed when he yawned



“Only for about 5 minutes” he said yawning again



“What?” she laughed, “I've been up for about 3 hours” she said fiddling with the end of her plait



“YOU WHAT, WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR!!!” he yelled at the top of his voice



“Shhh Tyson, not so loud” protested max holding his hands over his ears



“BUT SHE GOT UP EARLY!!!” he yelled again



“Tyson” she put her hand over his mouth “hey don't bite” he giggled



“I'm hungry,” he moaned making Kenny groan



“I've said it once and I'll say it again, Tyson you're always hungry” Becky sighed



“If your hungry get up and go downstairs after all I am”



Tyson jumped up smacking his head on his desk

“Ouch that bloody hurts,” he said holding his head



Becky smirked “race you down” she laughed and headed out of the door



“NOT FAIR” shouted Tyson running after her.



--------------------------------------------------------------



She lent against the wall at the bottom her arms behind her; a small smile crossed her lips whenever the other students stared at her.



She waved at Steve, eddy and Rick who waved back to her she turned her head “where's Michael?” she asked they shook their heads



“No clue” she shrugged



“Well if you see him say hi for me” they nodded and walked into the cafeteria

She laughed as 3 teenage boys walked past and winked at her, then she smirked when one of them slipped on a wet patch and fell over …come on tyson, what's taking so long… she started up the stairs but stopped when her path was blocked by the demolition boys; Tala just blanked her but Ian, Bryan and Spencer greeted her



“Hey Becky” said Ian his hat slipping over his eyes



“Hey guys, you alright?” she asked ruffling his hair



They nodded “yea not bad you”



She shrugged “so so, what's up with grumpy guts here” she said nodding towards Tala; who had his head slightly bowed



“Dunno he's not talking to any of us and he hasn't said a word since yesterday” answered Bryan



“well, maybe he'll talk to me, hello anyone there” she said waving her hand in front of his face



…what's wrong Tala, why the silence… she blinked when he growled softly



…leave me alone… he thought smirking at her expression, he turned away



“hey hot head answer me, for fracks sake Tala” she shook her head



“…”



“what was that?”



“…”



“for crying out loud Tala just say something, anything”



“WHAT!” he yelled



“finally, you know there are others here”



“Yea and your point is?”





“All right mr cool your attitude, friends like this lot don't come around that often they respect you, and in my village respect is something you have to earn; I learnt that a long time ago”



Tala ignored her but she carried on



“Perhaps you might want to agnolage their existence, or you are going to have to deal with me all right?”

And with that she turned around and returned down to the hall



“Well she told you,” said Bryan trying hard to conceal a smirk



“Shut up Bryan,” snapped Tala swinging out an arm in his direction, missing he stormed off cursing Rebecca under his breath.



/main hall/



Tyson and max were waiting for Becky



“What guys?” she asked



“Where were you?” tyson asked looking puzzled



“Oh nowhere just talking to some of the boys I met” she said throwing as smile in his direction



Max raised an eyebrow “some boys?”



“Alright it was the demolition boys” she said “but I don't want this conversation to go any further so can we go and get something to eat, unlike you two I've been up since sunrise and I'm starving”



Max nodded “sure whatever” he shook his head and muttered to himself “the demolition boys”
