off the bed and headed for the landing, closely followed by Lis. They stepped out into a small congregation of classmates gathering to see a face-off between Laura and Kitty
Monroe, who had seemingly forced Laura out of the bathroom.
Lis caught Laura’s eye, very aware that she’d just emerged from a dark bedroom with Danny. Laura looked momentarily puzzled before turning back to Kitty.
‘Well? Who let you in?’ Laura repeated.
‘I invited her,’ offered Danny. ‘We have English together. Back off, Riggsy.’
Kitty smiled innocently at Laura. ‘Excuse me, I’m going to use the bathroom now if you’d be so kind as to move aside.’
Laura purposefully stretched her arms across the door frame. ‘I’m sorry, Kitty. There’s a no-dyke policy in this toilet.’
Lis groaned and tried to move forwards, but Nasima stopped her.
‘Don’t get involved,’ she whispered. ‘It’s funnier to just watch.’ She flipped open her mobile and started filming the altercation.
Kitty again smiled sweetly, although with the thick, black make-up, her grin had a twisted, manic edge to it. ‘Laura, I’m not the one who’s just come out of the toilet with
another girl.’
Some members of the audience dared to giggle. Laura’s deathly glare soon shut them up. She moved closer to Kitty, invading her personal space.
‘Oh, I’m sorry, Kitty. I know how much you want me and everything, but I’m not a dirty lesbian like you. You’ll have to stick with that gypo, Delilah.’
For the first time, it seemed that Laura’s blow had hit Kitty. She gave Laura a short shove that sent Laura stumbling back amidst gasps from the crowd.
‘Laura, cut it out, please!’ Danny pleaded.
But Kitty was on the offensive now. ‘Laura, I wouldn’t go near you if you were the last girl, no, human , on the planet. You’re rancid. Toxic. Poisonous. People might be
scared of me, but they loathe you.’
Laura flushed a deep red colour, scrambling for a comeback, but Kitty continued. ‘If you don’t believe me, ask anyone. They talk about you more than they talk about me and
that’s saying something. Ask Lis London. Better still, ask Danny!’
At that, Laura flew into a wild rage, expletives tearing from her lips. Her hands tugged at Kitty’s hair, grasping her head and swinging her body into the wall. Danny shot forward, but it
was impossible to intervene as Kitty responded by grabbing Laura’s face in one big hand and pushing her down to the floor. Lis thought she saw Laura spit at her rival before slapping her
squarely on the side of the head.
Kitty fought like a wildcat, scratching at Laura’s hair and face, although Laura seemed to be the tougher fighter, curling her hands into fists and striking at Kitty’s torso. Danny,
and now Bobsy, stepped across the girls, trying to pull them apart, but it was no use as Kitty bombarded Laura with slaps.
Lis saw too late what was going to happen. As Laura advanced on Kitty, the top of the stairs grew dangerously close. Sure enough, Laura launched another frenzied attack and both girls teetered
over the top stair. The following fall, rather than a television-style tumble, was more of a cringe-worthy bounce down the stairs for both girls. The pair rolled to an embarrassing halt,
Laura’s underwear clearly on show to the entire party.
Jack and Delilah ran from the lounge into the hallway.
‘Bitch!’ yelled Delilah when she realised what had happened, her voice the only sound other than the music as everyone else stared in stunned silence.
‘Nice one, Riggsy!’ Cameron’s shout broke the silence.
A throaty scream exploded from Laura as she stood. Blood gushed from a split lip and she inadvertently smeared it across her face with the back of her hand. Without any further comment she
marched out through the front door, a bewildered Harry trotting close behind.
Lis and Danny raced down the stairs to where Kitty was now sitting, her concerned friends at her side. Giggling and
