The three of them completed their journey to the gardening club in utter silence. Alice wasn't bothered much by that though- she was too concentrated on learning her route around the school. And pondering over why Juliet and Lauren were acting suspiciously.
Juliet stopped outside of a classroom that had the letters W07. She took in a deep breath and lifted her hand to knock soundly on the door. In mere seconds, the door was flung open by Gwen, who looked deeply troubled by something.
As soon as Emilia's fingers brushed against Alice's hand, she could feel a sizzle of electricity pass between both of them. Alice could remember feeling Emilia's soft, yielding hand in hers, and she liked it.Emilia rested her free hand on Alice's chin and lifted it, stroking the surface of her skin with her stubble fingers. Alice craned her neck to look into Emilia's eyes, absorbing in all of her beauty.
The next day rolled along.When Alice pushed back her covers, the sun was shining powerfully in the sky. She smiled and leapt to her feet, preparing herself for the next day of school.Now she knew it wasn't as scary, she found herself happy and motivated for the upcoming school day- something which she hadn't felt in ages.
The two girls had a lot of fun together up in town. They entered almost every shop they saw and bought an assertion of clothing, jewellery and makeup.Alice let go of herself completely and focused on having a good time with Emilia. They managed to keep a sturdy flow of conversation for the entire duration of their day; they both had so much to talk about.When the heavens suddenly decided to open, Emilia suggested heading off to a coffee shop and Alice agreed, wanting to ge
The whole incident made Alice feel rather guilty.She felt guilty that she had destroyed such a wonderful to end to both of their days by asking a personal question. She felt guilty that she had upset Emilia by being overly curious. She felt guilty about taking advantage of Emilia's 'secret for a story' scheme.When she hopped onto the bus for school on a breezy Monday
The rest of the members surrounded Alice, protectively. Each one of them had an expression of pain and remorse on their face."I tried," Juliet mumbled miserably, "I tried making the club sound boring and dull so that Alice wouldn't join.""I should've broken Emilia's rules and told you the truth," Gwen said sadly, "I'm so sorry, Alice. I was frightened about what would happen to me if I did..."
Life in England had never taken such a dark turn.She no longer woke up each morning with a spring in her step and smile on her face. She woke up, practically dragging her feet behind her dreading the day ahead. Alice preferred Tuesdays and Thursdays- the days that she did not have the gardening club on. On those days, she would spend all of her time with the other members, exchanging jokes and compliments to ease away one another's pain. Alice had no idea what she would've done if they weren't there for her.
A/N: Because it is almost Christmas, I present you a happy chapter where nothing goes wrong. You're welcome :) (It's also a little shorter than my usual chapters and I apologize. I wanted to update but then again I wanted to spend quality time with my family so I spent less time over it)As half-term started, A
Half-term passed by in a blur. Before Alice knew it, she was due to go back to West Bridge to complete the term.On Monday morning, her body didn't seem to want to wake up at all. She nearly missed the bus by an inch.When she saw Lauren, they embraced like long-lost friends and pulled each other straight into a hug. As Alice rested her chin on Lauren's shoulder, she r
