FLORA POV
After the small fire in the living room, we were able to move back in after a few days.
I just came out of the shower and had a towel wrapped around me and my hair was let loose and was over my shoulders.
I was humming to myself as I came out of the bathroom, I walked into my room and screamed and nearly dropped my towel.
"OH MY GOD", it was Helia, sitting on my bed staring at me and laughing.
I Ran behind the door and used it to cover myself, just showing my head through the creak.
"What are you doing here?" I Asked him
"Oh you know, I was In the neighbourhood and decided to stop by" He winked at me and I blushed deeply.
"This is your neighbourhood dumb ass" I said
"That was why I winked Flora, or were you too busy blushing to even notice"
"Will you just answer my question!" I said to him, My tone was serious but playful at the same time,
"I came to bring this bag of toys for the winter fair", He reached behind him and grabbed a bag, "Here".
I grabbed my nightgown from behind the door and put it on, I walked over to the bag and started rummaging thorough it.
"I just brought them from the store, I need you to wrap them up if thats okay?" He asked me
"Sure thing"
"Remember to label the Boy presents and the girl presents, maybe use a certain type of wrapping paper or something" he said
"Okay" I carried on looking though the bag until something caught my eye, or rather I caught Helia's eyes staring at my chest, I stood up straight from my leaning position and clicked my fingers in front of his eyes.
"Hey!, You dirty little pig" I said
He just laughed at me, "If you say so Flora, but I was just admiring your necklace"
"Thats a great excuse but next time try it on one of your dumb girls" I said pointing my index finger at him.
"Hey! It was worth a shot" he said and walked out of my room, I turned a deep shade of red
"AND YOU CAN STOP BLUSHING" He shouted from the stairs, I turned even darker, I loved how he made me feel.
I Woke up, I turned my head to look at my alarm clock.
"8:05, Oh No, Im gonna be late" I shrieked
I Sprinted into my closet and quickly picked out a few things to wear, I then ran into the bathroom and brushed my teeth.
I ran downstairs into the kitchen.
"Flora, aren't you gonna eat breakfast" My Grandma asked
"No sorry Im really late" I said and ran out of the house
I ran toward the Bus stop, and looked at the times "20 Minutes" I exclaimed
"Looks like i have to run to school" I muttered, I looked at my watch, It was 8:25, I had 5 minutes to get to school.
I ran as fast as I could, I made it at the school gates.
"8:29, I just made it" I said, I walked to my locker and dumped my books inside.
"Hey Flora how ar- WOAH!, Jesus, You look a mess" Stella said as she leaned on the locker beside mine.
"Thanks Stella, Your so encouraging, I didn't have time to put make up on" I said
"Here, let me help you out", She reached into her bag and pulled out her mascara and eyeliner and applied it to my face.
"Thanks Stell"
"No problem, anyway the winter fair is tomorrow!" Stella shrieked
"What Stall are we doing again?" I Asked
"Well, It was a clothes stall, but your crush wont let me do that because he's a FOOL!" She said
"Why Is Helia a fool?" I asked in a jokey way.
"He gave the stupid clothing stall to 'Amber' " She said Ambers name annoyed way.
"Wait, Helia is the Supervisor for the Fair?"
"Yeah, He's always been, well for like 5 years in a row" Stella said
"Wow, I didn't know that, I thought he was just a volunteer" I said
"Can you believe that" She said
"Believe what?" I said
"That he gave the clothing stall to Amber Oblivion" She said
"Oh, Why'd he do that for, thats so stupid!"
"I know right!, anyway he dumped us with the bake sale" She said
"Thats not that bad Stella, he could of dumped us with the toy sale, I can handle a few kids but I've seen how bad toy sale's are over here"
"Yeah, I see what you mean" She said
I noticed something was off, "Stella, Why hasn't the bell gone yet?" I asked
"Oh there's no school today, you only come in if your helping with the Winter Fair"
My jaw dropped, "Are you serious!" I shouted
"Well Yeah, Schools always closed the day before a Winter fair" She said
"I thought you knew tha- Ohh, your still new here, haha, that must of slipped my mind" She said sheepishly and fiddled with her bracelet.
"It doesn't matter, Who else is helping with the Winter Fair" I asked
"Here" She hands me a clipboard with my name at the top of it.
"Thats the schedule of who's doing what and this", She hands me a sheet of paper "Is the map of the Fair"
I started to read the Schedule of who's doing what.
Helia - Supervisor/Manager
Sky and Brandon - Food Stall
Flora, Stella and Bloom - Bake Sale
Jessica and Amy - Toy Stall
Amber and Esme - Charity Clothing Stall
Tecna and Musa - Stage Performances
Paige and Ariana - Winter Ferris Wheel (Ride)
Amy and Aurora - Winter Tea cups (Ride)
Aisha and Bloom - Fundraising
Diaspro and Crystal - Beauty Stall
Riven and Timmy - Teacher Splatting
Musa and Tecna - Raffle
Helia and Flora - Santa's Workshop
Aisha and Nabu - Entrance
"Blooms doing the Bake Sale too?" I asked
"She's baking the cakes for it and she's also doing Fundraising with Aisha"
"Fundraising aren't we all doing the fundraising?" I was confused.
"Basically she goes around to all the stalls and asks for all the money they've raised then her and Aisha add it all up before the fair ends and we announce it on stage then everyone starts cheering and then we send the money to cancer care" Stella said, That makes sense.
"WHAT!, Im doing Santa's Workshop with HELIA!" I said
Stella started laughing, "You have to be the Elf and Helia dresses up as Santa, Last year Crystal was the Elf and the Elf has to sit on Helia's lap for a photo which will go in the year book, it also goes up there on that empty display board until the Summer fair then it gets taken down" She said
"I'm not sitting on Helia's lap" I said, Well, I actually did wanna sit on his lap for a photo and I was really happy that I was helping him.
"Yes you are, I know you want too anyway" She said
Tecna then walked up to us, "There you are, come on, everyones waiting for you in the main fair ground.
We ran to the fair ground which looked pretty amazing, all the stalls had been put up and the ferris wheel was being put together.
"Wow" I said
"This year the ferris wheel is new to this school, we used to have a carousel but SOMEONE broke it when we tried to take it apart at the Summer Fair" She said indicating to Musa who was standing next to us.
"I didn't know you had to remove the screws!" Musa said, Everyone looked at her like she was stupid.
"And anyway!, The ferris wheel is so much better," Stella added to her point.
"By the way Flora, Helia was asking for you, he's in that little house over there" She said
"Which one theres like 5" I asked
"The Gingerbread house"
"Okay", I started waking towards the Gingerbread house
"GET IN THERE HONEY" Stella shouted
"STELLA SHUT UP" I said turning around, She just winked at me and then walked off to one of the stalls saying 'BAKERY'.
I walked into the little gingerbread house that had just been put up, it was quite big, Maybe 8 feet high and 12 feet wide.
"Hey Helia, Musa said you wanted to talk to me", Helia turned around, he had an earpiece on and was talking into it, He put his index finger and he mouthed 'One minute' to me
"Yeah, okay Sky, let me know if she causes anymore damage to the teacups"
"Just get Riven to handle her alright"
"Okay, So here's your elf costume" he said handing me a dry cleaners bag
"Will we be the only people wearing festive costumes?" I asked
"No, all the volunteers who are helping have to wear an elf costume" he said
"Make sure you stay In the fair grounds, I don't want to hear about any trouble going on with you or your friends outside of school!" He said, I nodded
"Who was damaging the teacups?" I asked
"Amber, she knocked down one of the pole's which was holding up the roof for the ride, it all collapsed on top of her, Luckily only the rainproof net was up at the time"
I tried to hold back my laugh but I just couldn't, I ended up laughing my head off and Helia was just staring at me.
"Sorry" I said still laughing
"Right, Anyway did you wrap up the toys I gave you?" he asked
"Yes I do, there in my locker" I lied, I was in a rush and I forgot them
"Okay great, Just bring them here and place them under that Christmas tre- WHAT!"
I looked at him alarmed, why'd he just shout?
"No, no,no no,no get her away from everything and make sure she goes no where near the massive christmas tree, No Sky listen to me I'm not having that" Helia then walked out of the Gingerbread house and stormed off towards the ferris wheel.
I walked up to Stella who was putting tinsel around our stall.
"Hey Stella"
"Hey Flo, Did you hear about what Amber did" She said
"What did she do?" I asked
"she tripped up while holding a box of glass christmas baubles for the big tree that goes in the centre of this whole fair, so Helia ran off to go find some more" She said
"So thats what he was shouting about"
Stella was humming Christmas songs.
"Stell, Isn't Yours and Brandon's 3 year anniversary coming up?" I asked her, Stella stayed silent for a while.
"Yeah, its tomorrow, but if he doesn't explain who Ariana is then I'm not talking to him" She said
"Hey Guys" Musa said walking up to us
"Hey Musa"
"These stalls are epic" I said
"I know right, they are so cute, they look like little houses from the behind but the front looks like a normal store, at least if it snows we'll have a proper roof over our heads" Musa said
"I remember before Helia took over it was just a bunch of cheap plastic gazebos but now its like proper wooden stalls its so cool" Stella said
"Oh Shoot, I need to go get the presents from my house"
"Do you want a lift?" Stella offered
"Yeah sure"
"Okay see you later Musa"
"Be quick Helia will be back any minute"
"Its only a 5 minute drive, tell him we have gone to the bathroom" Stella shouted
"Will do" Musa shouted back.
Stella drove all the way to my house and I ran upstairs to my room and picked up the bag of presents and then ran back downstairs again.
Stella was sitting on the car hood tossing her keys in the air.
"Ready to go?" She asked
"Yep, lets go", We then heard a car, I walked to the end of the driveway to see who is was.
"SHIT!, HELIA" I exclaimed and ran into the car.
"Hide!"
We both ducked down, I looked into the side mirror and saw Helia's car pull up beside ours.
Helia's window was open, "If you were sick why did you tell Mum you fine" He said
"Well because I wanted to talk to Rose, but then I ended up puking on the teacher so they called you" Someone said
He stepped out of the car and opened the backseat door, out came Jamie,
"Helia?, Who's car is that, I didn't know Flora had a car?" She asked
"Why couldn't Jamie just shut up!" I Muttered quietly
"Thats Stella's car?, Whats her car doing here" He said and I heard him walking towards the car.
I was leaning against the door so if he looked into the window he couldn't see me,
Little did I know the door was not locked, Helia opened door and I fell out of the car onto the floor.
Jamie and Helia started laughing at me and Stella wanted to laugh but she knew that if she did I would get her back
"Flora, your such a klutz" Jamie said
I Looked up and saw Helia's face, You could tell he was angry but the fact that I just fell out of the car amused him.
"What are you two doing here?, I thought I specifically asked you to STAY! in school." he said
"Umm, Stella, Forgot her mascara, and since her house is more further away than mine I said we could go to my house to fetch my mascara"
He crossed his arms, he didn't believe it
"Hey, Why's Jamie here?" I asked changing the subject, I stood up and brushed the dirt off my clothes.
"We were learning about garden worms and I puked on the teacher" She said
"You, Puking from looking at a garden worm, I thought you were the most tomboyish girl ever!" I said
"It wasn't that, She fell in the pool last night and since it was like freezing she went and got her self a cold" he said
"That makes sense, Helia, shouldn't you stay away from her, you can't be sick for tomorrow, all those children could catch the cold and you need to be there" I said
"Nah, Helia's immune system is like crazy, he never gets ill, In fact I can't recall the last time you were ill Helia" Jamie said
"September 21st 2012" He said proudly
"Thats was like nearly 4 years ago, thats crazy!" I Said
"I told you" Jamie said and then sneezed
"I best be getting off, I really don't wanna get a cold" I said walking back into the car but before I could shut the door Helia grabbed my wrist and pulled me out.
"Hold it right there, I don't believe a word about you coming all the way here for some mascara and isn't Stella using that right now?" he said pointing to Stella who was in the car fixing her make up.
"Huh, Oh sorry Flora but when a girl needs make up she has to have it" She said
"What does that even mean!" I said
"I don't know! it was in Teen Weekly magazine"
"Since when do you read Teen Weekly, Your nearly an adult?" I asked
"Yeah, nearly!"
I groaned and turned around to face Helia who was not pleased.
"Flora's in trouble" Jamie muttered
"Jamie go inside I'll be there in 5 minutes"
"Whatever, and Flora 5 minutes is plenty of time to kill someone and hide the evidence" She said and walked inside of her house.
We waited until she shut the door, "This is so awkward" Stella said breaking the silence.
Me and Helia just staring at each other.
"Helia, Im sorry I should of told you I was going home" I said
"I don't care about that you went home I want to know why!" Oh No!, I can't tell Helia I forgot the presents he's actually started to trust me!.
"Fine I tell yo-"
Stella cut me off and said "That she has a indigestion problem and she needed to let it all out, you know, she's also been swelling like a pig and those farts she lets out, yikes they are toxic!"
ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS!, I turned around and gave stella a horrible glare and she gave me a apologetic look.
No!, This is even worse then telling him about the presents, now he's gonna think I'm some weirdo, Gosh this is so embarrassing.
"Okay, I did not need to know that much detail Stella you could of just said she had a indigestion problem" He said, My face turned red, gosh this is so embarrassing!, I hid my face with my hair.
"Alright, Girls get back to the school we only have 3 hours until Professor Saladin comes to check it out and we haven't even got the teacups in place" He said
"Okay, Bye Helia" Stella said, I got into the car and we drove out of my driveway
Once Helia couldn't see us I turned to stella and…..
"HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID!, INDIGESTION PROBLEM!, ARE YOU SERIOUS STELLA, THE WORST THING IS YOU ACTUALLY DESCRIBED THE GORY BITS" I shouted
"Calm down, We got out of there, by tomorrow morning we'll just say your all better and your fine now" She said
"Stella!" I groaned
"What?" She answered like nothing had just happened
When we got back I explained to all the girls about what had happened…
"INDIGESTION PROBLEM, OUT OF ALL THE LOGICAL REASONS YOU COULD OF USED!" Tecna shouted
"You do know all the symptoms for that right?" Musa said
"Sure, Well theres gas and gas and…..err" Stella chuckled not knowing the rest
"Nausea and vomiting, Growling stomach, burning pain in your belly and lets not forget what comes out the other end!" Bloom Said
Stella chuckled sheepishly, "Sorry Flora"
I groaned, "Now he's gonna keep pestering me about medication for it" I said
"Thats a good thing" Stella said
"Not really!, He's gonna show me some disgusting leaflet filled with pictures of it"
"And thats not a pretty sight" Musa added
"YO!, GET BACK TO WORK" Sky shouted at us
"Who does he think he is" Stella said crossing her arms
"Well, He's Blooms boyfriend" Musa said grinning at us, Bloom blushed and hid her face with her hands.
"WHAT!" Me and Stella exclaimed
