intro:

Jordan Wilson and Lucy Thomas have been best mates since that fatal day at the pub. Lucy in a state, and Jordan was the only person who could take her mind off things. They are now in year 11, and Jordan is still the shoulder Lucy leans on

angst/fluff,

Warning: abuse (physical) I will put a ✧ ˚ before and after if you want to skip, but it's nothing too graphic.

The pair walked into school; the environment familiar, but the faces not. Luna looked around, making eye contact with a girl in a hijab who sent her a stern glare. Making the girl look down quickly. She doesn't know what she's gonna do. School was shit enough as is, now there's a bunch of people who, judging by that interaction, don't like her much. Jordan looked down at Lucy, then followed the direction of her gaze. Glaring back at the stranger. If Jordan was gonna do one thing, it was protect Lucy.

Lucy felt a gentle tap on her shoulder. She turned to face the booth girl, who had a small, sincere smile on her face. Luna smiled back. She liked Missy; she was nice and pretty. Missy lifted a small pouch, making the makeup inside it rattle. She pointed to it, her grin widening. "Come on, then let's get you sorted!" she was excited. I mean, it's not every day you get to do your boyfriends or partners. Whatever they are. Little sisters makeup.

"We are stealing her Jordan, sorry, not sorry." Missy grabbed the girl's wrist, turning her toward the school. Only then did Lucy see Nas standing behind Missy. Offering her the same shy smile. "Bye, Jordi. I'll see you in form," Lucy spoke softly, walking backwards. Jordan gave her a two-fingered salute with an annoying grin. He was happy she was with people other than him and girls at that. Not that it looked like it was her choice, but he trusted Missy with her.

Lucy is sitting on the counter in the space between the sinks. Missy up in her face, trying her best to conceal the bruise that had formed under her eye. "So what happened?" Nas asks the person leaning against the cubicle opposite. Her arms crossed and her eyebrows drawn, she was confused at who would do this to a girl who, in her eyes, had never done anything wrong ever.

Missy shushes her, "No questions. Harry said. So shut up!" She turns to look at Nas, pointing at the girl with a makeup brush. Who put her hands up in defence.

"It's ok. I was play-fighting with Jordan. It's my fault," Lucy mumbles, slightly scared of the older girls. Missy wiped back around at her words. A small smile rose on her face.

"Oh, you and Jordan hu... 'play fighting'" she wiggled her eyebrows at the girl. Lucy's face heats up immediately. Her cheeks were flushed in a red hue. Eyes widening, and head shaking vigorously.

"No, no, no, no, not like THAT... me and jor- we don't - not... no" she panicked, stuttering and mixing up her words. The two other girls just laughed gently at her. "Don't worry, Missy was just messin." Nas steps forward, putting a hand on Lucy's shoulder. Missy stepped back from the girl.

"and done! Beautiful, might I say." Lucy jumped off the counter and looked back into the mirror; the bruise was basically gone. She turned back to the two girls, smiling back at them,

"Thanks. I'd better go now, I've got form with Mister Bell," she quickly tried to walk away, grabbing her bag from the floor. Till she felt someone step in front of her.

"Brill me to!" Missy grabs the girl again. "Ta-ta!" she waved shortly at Nas, pulling the younger girl with her.

Lucy slumped down into the chair next to Jordan, the rest of the class chatting around them. "It looks better. Missy did a good job." Jordan leaned back on his chair, poking her cheek. She slapped away his hand.

"Just cuz you can't see doesn't mean it doesn't hurt dickhead." She glared back at him, earning a chuckle. The boy is balancing back on his chair with his foot on the one in front. Lucy kicked his foot off the chair, causing the boy to wobble "Oi!" he looked to the girl to see her giggling, making him smile. He would do anything to see that. Recently, it's been a rarity. The girl got shy and stopped talking to people as much. Her group is very limited.

Their attention was drawn back to the front by their new form tutor, Mr Bell. "Excuse me, I'll just wait till you've finished, then shall I?" he speaks over the class, making them go quiet, while someone apologises. "My name is Mr Bell-" "end" some boy sat behind Jordan yells. The room laughs.

"Very original," she rolls her eyes at the boy. Jordan nudges her with his elbow, motioning to the front. Seeing Mr Bell looking at her with raised eyebrows, "Sorry, sir," she mutters, looking down at her lap.

He carries on, "right when I point to youse, I want you to shout out your names. loud and proud. go!" he clicks, pointing at Missy's little sister.

"Hayley, booth," she said as she stood up slightly. Mr Bell goes round pointing as people shout their names. Till he gets to Lucy. "Lucy Thompson." She stays seated but raises her voice. Hear her heart beating in her chest. "Aah, a Thompson. Harry, your brother?" he gets a small nod back." I've already told him off once today. Hope you aren't in the same trouble." She shakes her head at him, the man smiling at her before pointing towards Jordan.

"Abdullah bin Kevin," he smirks, knowing it will get people off. "Jordan!" Lucy shoves him harshly. Her brows furrowed, looking at the boy in front of her, disappointed. People are yelling at him, understandably so. he looks around and back at the girl, feeling a twinge of regret.

"Alright, Joker, what's your real name?" Mr Bell talks to Jordan. "It is my real name in a revert." Jordan looks back. "Stop being such a bellend." Lucy slaps him again, more seriously this time.

Razia speaks up from across the classroom. Naz's little sister, who's sat next to Hayley. "pervert, more like it" "don't take the mick." Someone replies, but Lucy wasn't paying attention; she was trying to make eye contact with Jordan. He is actively avoiding it. He knew it was wrong, but she just didn't know what could have possibly possessed him to say that.

"his name is Jordan Wilson and he's a wind-up!" Hayley tells Mr Bell, looking at Jordan. Mr Bell nods at her as a thanks. "Alright, Jorden Wilson, wind up," he points his pen towards the boy.

Chapter 1, Chapter 2,Chapter 3,

intro:

Jordan Wilson and Lucy Thomas have been best mates since that fatal day at the pub. Lucy in a state, and Jordan was the only person who could take her mind off things. They are now in year 11, and Jordan is still the shoulder Lucy leans on.

angst/fluff,

Warning: abuse (physical) I will put a ✧ ˚ before and after if you want to skip, but it's nothing too graphic.

year 11, GCSES and a new school great like lucy haven't got enough on already. At least she'll still be with Jorden till the end of the year then who knows. lucy got a job. working at the local garage fixing up the cars. well Joe (her boss) hasn't let her actually fix up someone's car but she works at the desk and on a old cars out back. Its good work experience that will look great on paper.

The night before harry had treated the group to a trip down to chippy. Lucy walks next to Jorden behind Harry and Cory. Lucy wrapped in a stripy zip up and a denim skirt. Feet clad pair of white nick socks and some off brand trainers she got from Primark. 

Dark clouds loom over them. The wind nippy and sharp, but the air still warm from summer. The walk feels long, as long as a trip down the road can be. The pair in front chat most likely about some girls or shit teachers. Lucy and Jordi walk in complete silence. they did that a lot. obviously they talked, but often they found themselves with out words. 

A silent conversation was founded as they kicked the same rock ahead of them going back and forth. Till lucy kicked it to hard and it hit the back of cory's leg. 

"shit" she muttered as she hears Jor laughing next to her. she shoves him with her elbow gently. As cory turn looking down at his leg then back up at the pair making them put there hands up in surrender. Jorden still sniffling . He narrows his eyes as lucy and Jorden point to each other. lucy's eyebrows shoot up. 

"DONT LIE!" Jor yells whilst laughing at her.

 "I'm not its was defo you!" she shoots back. Cory had turned around not having any more interest in that conversation. luc and Jor squabbles till the group got to the chippy. 

After the chippy Jorden sat with lucy in her room. Both of them sat on her bead against the wall, facing my window, music playing softly out her cd player. Lucy leans her head back against the wall closing her eyes yet her mind is wearing in anxiety, fear for the next day. As if Jordan can sense it he turns his head looking at her. she can feel his eyes piercing her skull like darts. 

"what?" lucy asks turning her head to him. "your worrying." He says plainly. she stares at his face examining his features. Silence falls over them, the cd finishing. The only sound being there breathing and the obnoxious yells from the football on the telly downstairs muffled by the walls. He's looking in her eyes not faulting to make her nervous she seem to contain her blush on this occasion.

 "you'll be alrigh. nothin to worry bout" He slices the silence.

"how'd you know?" lucy questions him already seeing the smile forming on his face. 

"I've got somite up my sleeve don't you worry." His smile turns into a smirk. Raising a eyebrow she starts "and what would-" 

"oi shut up would ya I'm trina watch the footy!" lucys dad booms. Hearing his footsteps come up the stairs. Creaky and heavy his steeps echo around the house. she panic, if her dad sees jorden she'll be in hot water. Jorden already knowing the drill pulls on his jumper and shoes. lucy gets up opening the window for him as he climes out.

 He stopes glancing back at her, half out the window, and plants a gentle kiss on her cheek. A common gesture, yet still makes lucy furiously red before she has time to reply to his gesture her door busts open her dad stood angry Infront of it. "fuck" she whispers under her breath. Jorden is gone but not without her dad seeing him. 

✧ ˚

she closes the window quickly seeing Jorden glancing back to look at her. she smiles gently hoping he wont see her fear. He smiles back and carries on to next door. Lucy draws the curtains feeling her fathers presence behind her. she turns slowly her breath shallow and ragged. Her eyes follow up his arm to his closed fist, raised before it comes sharply down in to her face. her hands shoot up to touch her eye that had been hit, falling to the floor. 

Lucy lay on the floor of her room, glancing up at her dad, hand on her pounding eye. He stand above her a second longer before spitting on her and muttering "slut." he leaves without a second glance thumping back down the stairs the door swinging shut behind him. she sucks in a breath. her body acing. 

✧ ˚

As she begins to push herself off the floor Harry rushes in. "shit i heard him come up but i though he went toilet... shit sorry." He grabs lucy and lifts her onto the bed his arms tensing. 

"salright. My eye just hurts a bit. Nothing to be concerned about." she whispers back still not finding her voice. He crouches in front of her holding her face in his hands.

 "well this is gonna bruise, and we ran out of concealer last week, we both get paid next." He sighs examining her eye. Last week was a bad one for Harry. there Dad had gone on him bad and they had used the last of the makeup covering him up for a date he had with Missy. 

"salright ill ask Missy to patch you up tomorrow. Shell be in your class you know." Harry stands up wrapping his arm around her shoulder. lucy look down not wanting the pity from Missy, and most likely Nas Missy's friend. Missy and harry had only been on a few dates. He they hadn't gone far yet only pecks and not been to each others houses yet. harry really liked her he got all giggly around her Cory makes fun of him for it. 

"don't worry ill give her some excuse ask her not to ask any questions. It's good to have people Luc. even if you don't want there pity." He rubs her shoulder, dropping his had and walking towards the door. 

"good night Harry." she whispers her voice floating through the air. Harry closes the door behind him before saying it back 

"good night Lucy." He sighs and goes back to his room closing the door. 

lucy wakes from her phone buzzing beside her. A message from Jorden lights up the screen. "I'm outside." It reads. she perks up realising she was late. on the first day. her uniform lays out from the night before, she slips it on as quick as possible. Glancing in the mirror she smooths down her hair. it'll have to do. she thought. and Quick lip-gloss and mascara wont hurt anyone. 

Pulling her bag over her shoulder grabbing her tie and running down the stairs. As usual, met by goose. He follows her to the kitchen, she grabs a piece of toast off a plate on the counter. Turning back to the door. "oi!" Harry yells trying to grab her bag but she slips on her shoes and out the door closing it behind me.

 "hey!" lucy calls walking towards him. 

"you didn't reply to my message." jordan turns around to face her .

 "oh don't sulk I'm here now. come on or we'll be late." readjust her bag on her shoulder walking towards school Jorden jogging to catch up with her. "oi don't pretend you arnt the reason we would be late, and what's that" He quips falling in step next to lucy gesturing to her face. He offers her one of his headphones. she takes it putting it in her ear. Jme blaring my ear off.

"turn it down will ya I actually like this song but i don't want my ears blown off by it. and  its nothing. woke up with it" she gestures her hand the the headphone. she knows it was stupid you don't just wake up with a back eye but Jorden didn't know and he didn't need to know how she had gotten it. 

He pulled out his phone turning it down whilst letting out a huff. He shoves lucy lightly. Causing her to stumble lightly but not far as they are connected by the wire of the head phones. she giggles and turns back to see his smile matching hers. they keep on walking towards what could be the best or worst year of our life.

lucy's head buzzes, mentally double checking she put everything in her bag. Thinking of all the new people she's gonna meet its gonna be different going to a mixed school. Its not like they were particularly segregated. they live in the same neighbourhoods. she goes to the same corner shop as them. they just never been to the same school.

lucy doesn't get why everyone is making it such a big deal about a new mixed school. her cousin Jemma goes to school in London and she said lodes of the schools there are mixed that don't even talk about the fact. she just don't like the meeting new people, was never good at it. she overthinks, over analyses every conversation or interaction she has with everyone, from the bus driver to Jorden.

If she could stop it best believe she would, but alas here she is heart pounding, ears ringing her eyes welling up. till she feels it. His hand brushing hers, Jorden's hand touching lucy's as they walk. He could tell she was tense he's had to deal with her being like this forever. He. just. knows.
