Summary:
A posh girl spends a weekend with a chav girl
Author's note:
Growing up, I was a Rebecca. I never really got in trouble, or even really thought about it. And yet, it was hard to deny the appeal of the chav students, especially as I spent my school years on a fairly rough estate. I would secretly be quite envious of the lives they led -- smoking, drinking, fucking. I never
said
that, of course, but I thought it.

is a look at a road not taken, but one that a little part of me still wishes had been taken.
There are two things worth noting in advance. Firstly, I think the appeal of this story is in the transformation, and the idea of a posh girl becoming something that she's not -- there is sex, but this isn't a sex story, and I think it's worth knowing that from the off. If you're after lots of sex, and lots of descriptions of sex, it may be worth looking elsewhere!
Secondly, I originally published this story in chapters elsewhere, and I'm too much of a lazy hack to rework it, so that explains all the sporadic breaks!

"Don't worry about her - she's just council scum."
'Council scum' - that was how it all started.
Well, that wasn't strictly accurate, but that was the crack that pushed Courtney over the edge.
That was the jibe that made her realise she had to do something to deal with the problem once and for fucking all.
Courtney Miller was from the rough part of town, and she was what would have been referred to a few years ago as a chav. She wore her white shirt as unbuttoned as she could, untucked and hanging loosely over her tight black miniskirt, her school tie in a loose knot around her neck. She wore black tights and scuffed black trainers - she'd been warned to change to more appropriate footwear a few years back, but those warnings had fallen on deaf ears. Instead of her school blazer, she wore a black tracksuit jacket, in which she kept her cigarettes and some gum.
At school, she always wore her black hair pulled back in a ponytail. She ignored the school policy on jewellery, wearing a pair of hoop earrings, and makeup, opting for thick black mascara. There was something pretty about her, but she generally tried to conceal that with a scowl and a foul mouth that was always chewing gum or having a cheeky fag.
The way she wore her uniform put her in stark contrast to her rival - Rebecca Lunden, the fucking snooty bitch who thought she owned the place.
Rebecca's family was well off, and you could see it in the way she carried herself. She had that kind of walk, and that air of smug superiority, that you only get with money. She wore the school uniform as if she was in the school's catalogue - white shirt, neat tie, blazer, black pleated skirt and matching tights with flat shoes. She never looked anything less than respectable, little miss perfect.
She oozed self-confidence - she had a friendly smile and an easy air, and she had all the boys wrapped around her little finger. It helped that she was stunning - long blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. She was pretty, and that was just one of the reasons that Courtney hated her.
They'd been in the same year in school since they were 15, and they were always competing with each other. Courtney was naturally cleverer than she let on, but she couldn't be bothered with the work - that meant it was easy for Rebecca to show her up academically, and that only served to frustrate her more.
They didn't hang out - Courtney had her friends, Rebecca had hers. Courtney and her gang took great pleasure in intimidating the clique of snobs, threatening them and bothering them in class. They liked to hang out near the school gates, smoking, waiting for Rebecca to pass on the way home so they could heckle her. There was nothing more enjoyable for Courtney than waiting for Rebecca to get into a groove in an essay, or answering a question in class, and then throwing something at her to put her off.
Their days were spent slinging passive-aggressive remarks at each other, and delighting in besting the other. It went on for years - they were now nearing the end of sixth form, and it was still going on. Their relationship hadn't improved - if anything, the years of competing with each other had almost become a ritual of sorts. They were both now 18, and showing no signs of changing their ways.
And then, unexpectedly, it all spilled over one Tuesday afternoon and hit breaking point.
Courtney was in after-school detention, something that was not unusual. Mr Parsons, the geography teacher, had told her off for texting in his lesson - in response, she'd told him to fuck off. It was worth it, even if she wound up wasting the best part of her fucking afternoon sitting in the school's own prison.
Detention was a dry experience - she'd sit in a bland room for an hour, playing on her phone or staring out the window. A teacher used to sit in and watch, but they'd quickly realised that they were just wasting their time - Courtney would sit with her feet on the desk and give them hell for all that time, just because she could.
That day, Courtney was looking out one of the open windows into the school car park, and she saw Rebecca walking out with one of the art pupils. The school musical was coming up, and clearly Rebecca was involved somehow - they'd both be leaving soon, and this was clearly her trying to do one last thing. Great, just fucking great, Courtney thought - because what we all need is to her more of her fucking voice before we're out the door.
Rebecca's car was parked near to the room Courtney was in, and as she came closer, she met Courtney's eyes. She offered a casual, almost sarcastic smile to the chav girl - in response, Courtney offered a snarky smile of her own, and a pair of middle fingers.
Courtney heard the artistic girl gasp.
"Who's that?" she asked Rebecca.
"Don't worry about her," Rebecca said, "she's just council scum."
Courtney was furious - angrier than she'd ever been. Rebecca had come out with snarky comments before, but never anything so nasty. She was in her car and pulling away before Courtney could reply - and lucky her, the bitch. If she'd been here, Courtney would have climbed out of the window and fucking strangled her.
From that point on, their rivalry became something else. Courtney had hated Rebecca for a long time, but now, that hatred was going to translate into action.
She didn't have long left - they only had a few weeks of school left, and then Rebecca would be off to some fancy uni and Courtney would never see her again. That thought should have been a blessing - now, it was a ticking clock.
Courtney only had a limited amount of time, but she knew that she was going to take the bitch down.
The only question was how.
***
Courtney had gone home furious that Tuesday night, with nothing but Rebecca on her mind. She was angry and she wanted to do something - but what?
She'd spent half the night scrolling through Rebecca's social media, but she couldn't turn up anything useful. It was a total fucking waste of time, she thought - there was nothing good. It was everything she'd anticipated - photos of Rebecca smiling, hanging around with her rich friends on horses and going to fucking tea parties. She didn't follow any dodgy accounts, and she didn't post anything dodgy. Little miss perfect couldn't even do anything interesting online.
In frustration, Courtney threw her phone onto her bed and swore out loud to herself: "Fuck me!"
Her head was muddled - she needed a break, and a quick smoke.
She climbed out of bed, wearing nothing but a loose hanging top and a pair of panties, and opened her bedroom window. She grabbed her lighter and a cigarette from the open pack laying on top of her TV cabinet, and lit up.
As she inhaled the smoke, she could feel herself getting calmer, that niggling voice at the back of her mind quieting down a little.
She exhaled the smoke - fuck me, I needed this, she thought.
As she took another drag, she briefly entertained the idea of getting a few of the girls together and just beating the shit out of Rebecca. That would be a good way to teach her a lesson - if she told some of the girls what Rebecca had said about her, she knew that they'd be more than happy to find the posh bitch and beat her black and blue.
Just the thought of seeing Rebecca's beautiful perfect face left bloodied and bruised made her smile a sick smile.
But something about it seemed
