Rayanne

"Do you maybe want to go watch a movie tonight." He asks shyly. He looks away, cheeks getting red.

"Sorry. I have to do something important tonight." I say. I bite my lip as I see Taylor's face drop. "Oh well if you_" "Taylor. I'm going to be doing the history project with Katie." I explain.

"Ohhh..." he trails off. "Yeahhh. How about tomorrow?" He smiles and nods. "I'll text you details later on."

I smile and go back to grab my bag. Vanessa smirks at me and throws her rubbish away.

The bell goes so I make my way to the next class. I sit next to Alex. He looks at me weirdly. "What?"

"What was Taylor talking to you about? It looked very secretive." Oh no. Is it weird that I feel like this is going to end badly.

"Umm. He was asking if I could hang out with him after school. I have to work on a history assignment so I can't go." I say nervously. I don't tell him that we are going to the movies tomorrow. It would just make things worse.

"Is that all?" He questions. I bite my lip and nod.

"You know, I can tell when you're lying. You bite your lip and tap you index finger whenever you're lying." He says with a smirk. I glare at him and turn around. "Stalker." I mutter.

"Seriously? I'm not stupid. I know you guys are going to a movie tomorrow instead." He says.

"How the hell did you know that?" I was just talking to Taylor. "Oh. I have my sources." I can tell that's the end of the conversation. I glare at him wanting answers.

When the final bell of the day rings I pack my things and walk out. Just before I get onto my bike Alex walks up to me. "Enjoy your time with Katie." He smirks then walks to his own bike.

I glare at him and the expression sticks to my face until I get home.

"Harrison. A classmate of mine is coming over later." I inform him. "Miss what does she look like?"

"Blonde hair and way too much make up on. Can't miss her." I smile as I make my way upstairs.

After I take a shower there's a knock on my door. "Come in." I shout from the wardrobe. "Rayanne. You have one hell of a house." Katie says.

"Yeah." I say as I sit on my bed. I fish my laptop out of my bag and place it on the bed. "So all we have to do is finish the presentation and I have to do the rest of the diary entries. "I say.

She nods and types while I write down the last seven diary entries. 

We finish an hour later so I stand up. "Do you want to look around the house?" I ask. "Sure." 

Its going to take me a while to get used to her being a nice person. "Your parents must be loaded." She says. I open the door to the yard and walk outside with Katie following. "Were loaded." I say quietly. "Were? Why not are?" She questions. I look at her with sad eyes. "The money is mine now, they um passed away a few months back." I say in a low voice. 

"So you own a whole load of money? Are you the only child?" She asks as we take a seat on the chairs near the pool. "I have an older brother who is a year above us but he is going to be doing football so he passed it onto me." I say. "How come I've never seen him before? Does he come to our school?" 

I hear the door opening and I turn around. "Hey Rayanne, where's Harrison?" Brandon asks. "Kitchen." I reply. When I turn back I see Katie looking shocked. "Yeah, I probably should have said, but Brandon is my brother." I say.

I take my phone out and snap a picture of her surprised face. The flash snaps her out of her thoughts and she glares at me. I smile angelically as if nothing happened. "Delete it now." She orders. "Why? The world of social media is awaiting its post. " I say as I swish my phone around mockingly. "You are annoying." She crosses her arms.

Did she already give up? I'm still going to annoy her. "Besides, why would I post this? It would ruin the reputation of my page." I say with a smug smile. 

She groans and stands up. "Who are your parents Rayanne? I haven't heard of some well known family with the last name Matthews. And by the looks of your house it seems that your parents were really well known." She says. 

"Look at your heels." She looks at them but doesn't seem to get it. "What is the brand?" I ask. "Lyon Industri.....oooooh." She realises. "Woah your mother was Jasmine Lyon and your father is Matt Lyon." She asks in a suddenly interested tone.

"Yah, why?" I ask. "So you are their famous daughter?" I nod. "Wait wait wait wait, so your parents were the richest people alive, your brother is one of the most famous guys in our school and you are currently the richest person alive?" She asks confused. "Well yeah, that pretty much sums it up." 

"Why did you and your friends always bully me? I never did anything to you to start it." This is one of the questions that has been  bobbing around my head for years. She sighs. "I know that what we did was wrong but it was all out of jealousy," "Just like Jessica." I mutter.

"We all liked Alex yet he only looked at you. So instead of getting angry at him we poured all our anger onto you, thinking it was your fault. What we didn't know was how oblivious you were and how you didn't even know he liked you. On behalf of my friends and myself I want to apologise."

"I don't entirely forgive you guys but at least its baby steps." I hear the doorbell ring and I look at Katie. "Sorry, I should go get that." She nods and I make my way to the huge double doors. "I open the door and come face to face with a very tired looking Kylie.

"What happened?" I ask as I let her enter the house. "Tom, news, now." She puffs out. I run to the living room and turn on the television. "Hey is everything alright?" Katie asks. I switch it to the news channel and watch intently. "The murderer of Matt and Jasmine Lyon pleaded guilty this afternoon." The news reporter says. My eyes water as I see Tom being pushed into a police car. "He looks familiar." Katie says. 

"They also found out that he is the former boyfriend of their daughter Rhea Lyon." I put my face into my hands, not wanting to be reminded. "Tom Newman pleaded guilty in court without excuses. The Lyon's eldest child, Brandon Lyon attended court today to see the events. The whole country is saddened by the loss of these two great souls and people have already started laying down flowers in front of Schools, hotels and shops that were owned by the Lyons." I turn off the television and bury my head into one of the pillows. 

I feel someone rubbing my back in a comforting way and look up to see Katie. "Its going to be okay now." She pulls me into a hug and tries to comfort me. I cry into her shoulder. "Sorry for ruining your top." I manage to choke out. "Its okay, stop worrying about other people when you are in the middle of all this chaos.''

I straighten myself and look at Katie and Kylie. "Can you guys stay over for dinner? I don't think I would be able to stand being alone anymore." They both nod and together we walk to the kitchen. Kylie orders pizza while Katie and I sit on the stools.

"You got it tough." She says, "Who knew, the girl that always used to stay quiet actually had a whole lot of drama going on in her life. You put on a good mask after you came back. It looked as if you were happier when really you were even more broken up on the inside." 

"Thanks Katie." "For what?" "Staying, helping, comforting me. Thanks for being here right now. I never knew I would say this but..." I take in a huge breath. "I am glad that you came here, glad we are partners for the project and glad that you are here." She laughs, "Well, I can be very good company sometimes." She says. 

"You are one cocky person aren't you?" I say as I chuckle. "Its all part of my job." 

The three of us have fun the rest of the night and even have a sleep over. By the end of the night when we were all getting ready to fall asleep, I realised something. Katie was someone I would consider a friend. I guess that saying is true. 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.' 

In this case it really did help.
