✮⋆˙ Angry mothers

★  MONDAY 10th JANUARY ★

"SHANNON!" A panicked feminine voice called out from the other side of the hall

A small, very pregnant woman with messy brunette hair pulled up into a bun came waddling down the corridor, moving as fast as her small legs could carry her

Bless her

It was Shannons mam, they looked nearly identical with the same hair and same lonesome midnight blue eyes

I've met Marie a few times before, everytime I met her was when I brought a strung out Joey home. Marie always gave me the same look everytime, like I was the one that had corrupted her son

In my personal opinion I think she was actually big reason why he did drugs in the first place, she failed at being a mam so he turned to the next thing

I also knew that another massive reason why he used was because of his alcoholic abusive Da

I knew what went down in that house of horrors, I see the bruises Joey always has and it didn't take a genius to figure it out

"Shannon!" She called out desperately, rushing over to her daughter "What happened?!"

"Mam, i'm okay" She groaned, batting Mrs. Lynch's hands away when she held her face inspecting the damage

Finally acknowledging the rest of us, the smallest of smiles pulling at her lips when she noticed Darla standing next to Johnny

We were all standing now, watching these doppelgängers talk to one another

"Oh er hello Darla, Shannon didn't tell me you go here now" Mrs. Lynch cooed

Clearly she must of like Darla since she completely ignored the rest of us

Responding with a smile "Hello Mrs. Lynch and I erm its my first day"

I really like this Darla girl, she has this gentle and calming nature. She was endlessly polite, with doey dark brown eyes that look like she has seen too much

I also like Shannon, she was a bit like darla. Hesitant and so so warm. I felt awful that Johnny had ruined her first day

Fucking Johnny

I obviously gave them a proper Danny welcome, making them feel welcome and all

Also I noticed the way Darla and Johnny stared at eachother like their entire world's shifted as soon as their gazes connected

I bet you they will get together soon

Also I noticed how Shannon was wearing Liam's jersey

I will definitely interrogate him about that later

Then suddenly the moment shifted as Shannons mam laid her eyes on us. More specifically me

"Which one of you did this? Was this some sort of prank hmm?" Marie accused

Again that same fucking look

Turning my eyes to Kieran to make sure I wasn't making this shit up, we both stared at eachother in understanding that this woman was indeed glaring daggers at us and shouting accusations

We wasn't fucking bullies, I would never and as annoying as Kieran was, he wasn't a bully either

Sure he pissed people off just for the fun of it but he would never pick on someone like that

The reason I know this is because he was slightly bullied in junior infants, he likes to play it down and act like it was no big deal

But it was, he didn't have any friends before Kav and Gibs. These pathetic bratty kids saw that as an opportunity to bully him for it

Stupid really, how could you be mad at a kid just because he doesn't have friends

Kieran told me a bit about it when we were in our friend stage

"It was me" Johnny blurted breaking the tense silence "It was an accident I swear"

Shannons mam scoffed harshly "Did you think it was funny? God why are kids so cruel!"

Okay this bitch needs to shut the fuck up, I don't care she is pregnant i'm ready to throw down

First i'd drag her by her hair then say something really iconic like 'Do you think i'm a bully now'  or maybe something like 'Do I hit harder than-

Okay thats a bit far, i'm getting carried away now

But I don't like how she is looking at me, like i'm some sort of scum on the bottom of her shoe

"Retract the claws Danny" Keirans voice cut through my raging thoughts. Still pissed, my head snapped to the side to give him a sharp look

"She's pregnant yeah and she is like what 40?" He whispered in my ear, I could tell he was a bit pissed at the accusation from the frustration lacing his tone

Before I could say anything Keiran continued "Besides we don't need angry Danny today"

Ah yes angry Danny

Angry Danny was actually an I.E.D episode but no one knows that, they just think I have anger issues

I got diagnosed when I was 9 but i've had it since I was 6. My prick of a stepfather tried to get me on antipsychotics but I wasn't crazy I just got a bit overwhelmed at times

Everything gets too much, I lash out at the nearest thing. Cursed with tunnel vision so everything feels like a direct attack on me

Even just shift in someones tone of voice, a dirty look, a lighthearted tease that didn't even mean anything, sets me off

Most of the time I just scream and shout at people, poisoning them with my venomous words I can't control. But then its sometimes breaking things, destroying whatever's closest

But then when its especially bad I get violent, proper violent. Like a murderous switch clicks on in my brain

Once when I was 13 I almost killed a kid just because he accidentally spilled a drink on me

Fortunately it only gets that bad once a year, but normally episodes only last less than 15 minutes or sometimes only 5

But after...

After its fucking horrible, i'm filled with guilt and regret and the worst of it all. Shame

I hate it when I go off, I hate how my brain is fucked up. Hell I just hate my mind period

"Mrs. Lynch" Mr. Twomey voice broke through my thundering thoughts. Where the fuck did he come from

But Keiran was right angry Danny was not needed right now. I knew I wasn't going to have an episode now anyways because the rage becomes blinding and the build up is even worse

"I'm sure if we all sit down and talk about this-" He began attempting to reason, failing miserably

"No" Mrs. Lynch hissed, now she started glare at me

Here we fucking go

"I know you, your that Danny girl, Joey hangs out with" She argued

Well technically Joey hangs out with Shane I just so happen to be there

"My Joey's too good for the likes of you" She spits out, looking me up and down in disgust "Your dragging him down. You and your druggie brother Shane Holland"

This bitch really can't talk, look at her husband for fucks sake

"Erm first of all he's my half brother actually, different mams" I explained, keeping my cool

Well fucking done Danny

"Second of all I know my brother is a massive prick and I seriously strongly dislike him but don't talk about him like that" I shot back

I could see the confusion etching Darla's face, most likely confused on my last name

At a loss for words, Marie turned quickly to Mr. Twomey "You assured me this kind of thing wouldn't happen at this school and look what happened on her first day!"

Mrs. Lynch glanced back at her daughter with a face full of despair "Shannon I don't know what to do with you anymore. I really don't baby, I thought this place would be different for you"

Shannon shook her head "He didn't mean to hurt me"

I looked to Johnny who looked completely lost and hesitant as what to do. I also noticed Darla, who was staring at him with sympathy in her gaze

Like preparing for a speech, she tucked a nonexistent stray hair behind her ear and prepared herself "It really was an accident Mrs. Lynch"

"I was there, it was a sloppy pass from him. Missed his no.3 and accidentally hit Shan" She explained, then turned to us

"Danny wasn't even there because she was here looking for the nurse and i'm pretty sure Kieran was in the toilets because I didn't even see him on the pitch" Darla lied effortlessly, like it was no big deal that she had just defended us

See I knew I liked this girl

Quickly flashing a grateful smile to her before masking it with a scowl directed at Mrs. Lynch

"Well I-" She stammered "Shannon is this true?"

Shannon nodded, keeping her eyes trained on the floor while her fingers absentmindedly fiddled with the hem of Liam's jersey

Unfortunately that also brought her mams attention to it too "What in god's green earth are you wearing?"

Oh smooth Liam, giving her your jersey so she had to talk to you twice. Very proud Liam

"Oh erm a boys jersey? I ripped my skirt when I fell" She explained

Marie crossed her arms, scoffing loudly "And what boy pray tell?"

Shannon didn't appear to have an answer for that as she continued to stare at the hem like she wanted it to swallow her up

"Liam Feely" Kieran chimed in "He gave his jersey to her so no one could see anything"

Oh thank the lords, the poor girl was probably mortified judging by the scarlet that creeped up her neck in embarrassment

"I taught him well" I cooed

I remember when me and Liam went to the park and he kept on asking me questions about girls. Stuff like how to make a girl like you, how to make them comfortable and stuff

So obviously I gave him the 411, how to treat a girl with respect, how to know when to shut up, the works. But Liam was already a good kid he didn't need much lecturing, just some advice

Someone snapping their fingers infront of my face brought me back to the present, Kieran's smug face was unfortunately in my view

"What are you two doing here?" Mr. Twomey asked, finally noticing us

Fucks sake Kieran I was enjoying watching the drama, you just had to ruin it didn't you

"Oh erm I was heading to the nurse for my migraine sir. I have no idea why Kieran is here" I lied, smiling sweetly at him, ignoring Kierans eyes peircing into my skull

Thank you Darla for the lie. I really couldn't be asked to get a half an hour rant about how my skirt is too short and how it affects my image

Pricks the lot of them

From beside me, Kieran scoffed. Probably pissed I threw him under the bus but oh well silly me

Wait a fucking moment

Snapping my head to the side to only just notice how close we really were, our shoulders nearly touching and our hands inches apart

Ew ew ew ew ew

I immediately jumped away, disgusted that I was in such close proximity with that... that bastard

Keiran stepped back as well, glaring at me like I was the guilty one here

Arsehole

I have everything right to revolted, but him? He has none, Kieran is even lucky to be associated with me

"Right well head back to lesson you two" He ordered

We both span around with a groan, both equally annoyed at eachother

Not being able to physically control myself, I harshly shoved Kieran right into the locker that we collided with making a loud bang echo through the hallway

Giggling my head off, a smirk pulled at my lips when he glared daggers at me

"Twat" I teased

Keiran furrowed his brows "Bitch"

"Dick" I shot back, before disappearing down another corridor
