Thread: Blind Forgiveness (Victor Kane x Roses)

Maggie stood on the playground toying with the end of a long lock of hair. Deft fingers picked at a small knot as she tried to focus onn something. Anything except what she was going to do. Her small heart was pouding in her chest. Could she really do this to placate the people that clamed to be her friends? What would happen to the boy after all this? He was so sweet, even if it was only because he was forced to interact with her. Why couldn't he be her friend instead of these fools. Why are you so nervous Maggie? Another girl walked up to her, Valerie. I've never done this before okay? Maggie said a bit harshly. I'm not sure what I'm supossed to say. The girl chuckled. You have been the lead in how many school plays and this little gag makes you nervous? I can memorize lines for a school play, this is all off the cuff. I am trying to think of what to say. She turned her back on the girl just as a murmur rippled tough the throng of kids. He was here. For a moment, she swore all the color drained out of her features as her bright blue eyes locked on his. This was it, the moment of truth. She could already see the fear and horror on his face and it was only going to get so much worse. He had no idea. Oh! Eric! You came, I am ever so glad. She put on her best smile, clasping her hands behind her. It pulled her shoulders back, showing off her impeccable posture but mostly she did it to hide her shaking hands. From behind him Jack and a few other soccer players stepped closer. Don't even think about bailing Lockhart. Jack grabbed the bag on his back and wrenched it off forcefully. One of the other kids, shoved Eric forward, mostly into the ground, but forward none the less to bring him closer to Maggie. I hope you don't mind. But my friends here just wanted to make sure you didn't leave me all alone after that nice little note I left you. She was too good at this and she hated herself for it. But like Val said, this was just like acting in a play. And Maggie had been so many different characters before, a damsel in distress, a cop, a mobster, a bully. This was just like that. Maggie tossed her long pale locks over her shoulders and smiled down at him. You see my friends were getting bored of their old tricks so they wanted something new and fun to do. A voice from the side yelled out. He actually thought the note was real! laughter echoed around them both. If only they knew. Maggie smoothed out her skirt and started pacing back and forth before the boy as she idly picked at some fuzz on the sleeve of her sweater. She wasn't too sure what to say next, but she had to think of something quick before she ruined this whole thing and everyone got mad at her. Sorry Eric, but it seems that you were misled because you see we had something else we wanted to talk to you about. She began. Her heart pounded in her rib cage, this was painful. Her parents relationship was aweful, she could only imagine how this would hurt him finding out in front of the whole school. They were far more alike then anyone knew. Show him the pictures. Jack gave Eric another shove as he egged Maggie on. Holding her hand out, Maggie waited for somone to hand her her satchel. She took a deep breath to steady her nerves, no one could see them but she could sure feel them. Eric, do you know what Miss. Fenwick does in her free time? She asked as she reached into the bag now hanging from her shoulder. She pulled out a few photographs and studied them before tossing them on the ground before him. It seems our english teacher likes to do Mr. Lockhart in her free time. Or is it the other way around? The pictures that scattered on the ground around him displayed images of his father and their young English teacher in rather compromising situations. Everything from a simple kiss out on a sidewalk to a shot through a window of the couple in a hotel room bed. More whispers moved through the group of kids as they watched him look at the photographs. I do hope I am not the first one to tell you all of this. Maggie said as she adjusted the bag on her shoulder. But you know it's one thing to have a few of the teachers mess around... if there single. Its totally different when one of them is married. Hello Adultry. She grinned. Well, you can keep those if you'd like. If it were me I'd show my mother. But like I said totally your call. She took a few steps back. We are all just dying to see what happens tomorrow. She gave him a small wave. Good luck Eric. With that she turned her back to him and walked away, almost everyone else following her. Jack gave him one more push to the ground, throwing his back pack at him. Have fun asking daddy about that Lockhart. He snickered and hurried after the rest of his friends leaving Eric there alone in the playground.
