A/N: This is not what I wanted to put in this chapter. I wanted it to be a lot more info heavy, but it just didn't ring true to me character-wise so it will be a chapter or two longer than I planned.

This is about half of what I wrote for this chapter.

'Tis longer than the last chapters have been. Will be an update soon, but not in the next two weeks as I have exams.
Dedicated to XXbestfriend1XX for lighting a fire underneath me. Hope you like.

CHAPTER FIVE:

"S'pose we could ask Miss. Fritton." Taylor suggested.

"And you think she'll tell us? Assuming she knows, which it appears she does, she and Kelly are close. She won't betray her confidence." Polly explained.

"Gunna 'ave to convince Kel."

~**~

"Celia." Polly called and the trustafaerian silently took the baby from the Headgirl's hands and walked out of the room.

"What is going on here?" Kelly asked, as she noticed the presence of most of the sixth year girls, Annabelle and the twins.

"I think it's time you told us." Annabelle spoke up.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Kelly tried. "And why are you here, Flash?" She asked when she spotted him too.

"Don' fink I still 'ave to pre-tend I ain't worried 'ere." He said, every single person in the room knew how he felt about the Head-girl already, including the Head-girl.

"We are not even curious anymore. It has come to the point where we are just concerned about you." Polly said.

"Why would you be worried about me?" She asked incredulously.

"Whatever it is that you're not tellin' us is clearly bothering you. We just want to help." Annabelle tried.

"You have no idea." Kelly muttered as she turned away from all of them. She hated being cornered like this.

"Tell us." The twin voices chorused in unison.

"We're your friends." Chelsea added.

"Yeah." Peaches agreed.

"Good addition there, Peaches." Taylor teased.

"Is now really the time?" Polly asked, exasperated with the other girls. "Come on, Kelly. We're all here for you."

"No, no. I'm not doing this." Kelly said determinedly as she made for the door. Flash got there first and blocked it. "Flash, move."

"Gunna be the firs' time I say this to ya, Kel. But no." He said eventually.

"I mean it."

"Me too." Flash said, starting to heat up with her full attention on him. Kelly slowly walked closer to him, until she was invading his personal space. Just before her ruby lips touched his, she reached the handle of the door and pushed it open, Flash faltering as he fell backwards through the door. She used this advantage to get out and passed him, her heels clicking on the floor, as she retreated.

"That was a dirty trick." Polly complained.

"So proud of that girl." Camilla laughed from the back of the room, where she was seated.

~**~

"Girly?"

"I don't appreciate being cornered like that." The girl stated clearly as she continued looking out onto the hockey pitch from her seat on the roof.

"I told them you wouldn't. They're just worried 'bout you." Camilla Fritton took a seat next to one of her favourite students. "You are very loved in this place."

"Always have been." Kelly turned and smiled up at her Headmistress.

*Flashback*

"Welcome to St. Trinians, girly." Camilla greeted as her newest girl was brought to the school, her father obviously at a loss with what to do with her. As always.

"Thanks."

"What do you bring me, Kelly?" She asked pretty much ignoring the girl's father, after he signed the tuition cheque. "You can go."

"I'll come back soon to check up on, Kelly."

"I'd rather you didn't, Asher. Just go." She said dismissively, as she turned back her new Headmistress. He left, muttering to himself.

"Well?" Camilla asked.

"Pardon?" The girl was confused. She didn't want to be there or anywhere her step-father took her.

"Assuming you were expelled from your last school, yes? What for?"

"Seduced a teacher, and convinced another to pay for my tattoo." The girl explained. "Asher's just pissed that I cut my hair and stopped letting him blame me for everything."

"You will make a great addition to this school. A leader-type, I am guessing."

"Look, Miss. Fritton. I don't need to be here."

"Of course not. Let me show you your dorm. You're going to be a tough one to sort." She stood at the door and gestured for the fifteen year old to follow her.

"Sort?"

"Oh, my girlies like to classify the masses. Emos, Geeks, you're not a geek are you?"

"Not likely."

"Not a Chav. I am thinking you shall be in a league of your own until you get Headgirl."

~**~

"Who is Sebastian?"

"How did you…? He was my brother." Kelly muttered, as she touched at her arm where her tattoo was hidden by the long-sleeved shirt she was wearing.

"Was?"

"He died. Asher blames me because it was my mother that killed his son. He doesn't get that I blamed myself from day one, and him victimizing me had no effect." Kelly explained calmly. She turned her dark eyes toward her Headmistress.

"Good girly."

*End of Flashback*

~**~

"They'll understand." Camilla said.

"I don't think they will."

"I don't get it. I thought we went over this. It was not your fault then and now you're an adult, you should know that." She said taking the girl into her arms. She stiffened for a minute before giving in to it.

"I guess having Trinity here isn't helping." Kelly admitted. "I hate losing control of a situation like that, and I will tell them if they let me do it when I am ready."

"I'll tell them that."
