Tower Block Dreams

Marlsborough High School

Lena POV

My alarm went off at 06.15AM this was weird I was used to getting in at 06:15AM not getting up at this time.

I go to the kitchen switch on the radio put the kettle on and put some bread in the toaster. I look around my little flat and feel content well it is not officially mine but it is my current home and I am happy this is going to work this has to work there is no other way.

I make my tea and butter my toast and sit at the little kitchen table.   It's a half table with two chairs. I munch away and finish my breakfast and drink my tea. I wash and wipe up the items I have used and wash the sideboard down keeping it clean and fresh I go to the bathroom get washed and brush my teeth I had washed my hair last night I still run the hairdryer over to give it lift and then straighten it.

I apply minimum make up and get dressed black tights black skirt and a white shirt.   Look it is my first day at 6th Form and I need to make the right impression if this going to work.

I check the time, 07.00AM I have a quick fag out the window and douse myself in perfume and re brush my teeth. I grab my bag and head downstairs I know that if I am a second late Zane will be will be waking  the neighbourhood up.

I lock up and head down the stairs I am literally there all of 30 seconds when I see his Black Mercedes SLK 350 pull up.  I jump in and give him a kiss hello and we chat the whole way the journey to my new school would only take 30 minutes by train if there are no delays but the London traffic is mental! Zane plays some proper old skool tunes as we jam and sing along in between chatting.

I have to be at school for 8.30AM and we literally get there at 08.25AM the area is buzzing and I can see everyone staring at me as I jump out of Zane's car.   The car its self draws attention let alone when he gets out to say goodbye to me.   Zane is easily 6'1 and built like a power house this is weird talking about my cousins like this but both him and Dan are both good looking geezers.   Dan doesn't realise the looks he gets off of woman as he is so in to Chantelle but Zane does he is a pussy magnet the amount of girls that have be-friended me in the past to get close to Zane is unreal.

I say goodbye to Zane and take in my new surroundings and take in a big breath it is nice nothing grimy all seems fresh and clean all the students look prime and proper.  I hang my head back refocus breath out deeply and head to the steps leading to the school.

I make my way to the office and speak to the receptionist she gives me a couple of forms to fill in.

I look up and see a girl approaching me.

" Hi are you Lena" she says smiling at me.

I look her up and down she looks pure and wholesome, like a nerd my brain engages and I tell myself  "stop it Lena".

"Hi, yes" I reply.

"I'm Millie I've been asked to collect you and show you around once you've completed all your paperwork".

"Nice to meet you Millie I think I have everything and I have my timetable and planner" I say giving a fake smile fucking hell god give me strength are they all like this here?

"Come on then let's go first stop the Common Room" she says beaming at me.

We walk to the Common Room it's a large room with lockers a kitchen area a few desks few sofas and coffee tables thrown into the mix I look round at the other students, Jesus not one fucking hot lad this place sucks.

We walk over to the lockers and Millie sorts me out with a locker and I hear the common room door fling open with 5 lads piling in.

" No Fuck you Deacon" I hear I turn around but the person that said that has his back to me.

Millie walks me over to the door where they are standing these lads are still messing about with each and Millie  is now taking me on "the tour"

I walk passed the "the voice" and I stop and look at him he got my attention 100 percent he wasn't my usual type but he was the fittest in this god damn place to be fair he was proper good looking.

"Nice stance" I say to him, flirting voice.

He stops and looks my way we make eye contact he smiles and he moves his head and I see him checking me out, clocking me.

" Alright" he says,

With that some girl jumps to side who looks like a church going virgin....fuck I am such a bitch.

"JP  can you help" she whines.

"Yeah course" he says but his eyes do not leave mine.

I smile and laugh and break the eye contact mental note to myself JP has the edge he is not like a lot of these people. Something about him.

Millie is actually quiet sweet she shows me round the school as she gives me the tour tells me which teachers are sound and who to avoid.

Millie has been with her boyfriend Ryan since year 10......and they haven't fucked please pass me the bucket but to be fair I kind of got that impression of her.

Dan was true to his word he picked me up at least he was a bit subtle his car wasn't but at least he didn't get out to greet me.

As I walked out of school his huge black Range Rover which was blacked out was there as I opened the passenger door I felt eyes on me I turned around it was JP I looked and smiled at him as I jumped in Dans car.

Dan sped off he was in a hurry I was such an inconvenience at times!

We chatted him telling me the importance of getting my head down and working hard  god he was so intense at times I loved him but he was so serious he acted more like 43 then 23 at times. Charlie bless him was asleep in the car seat.

He took me to his Mum and Dads and Dan shot off. My Auntie made dinner for me my Uncle and Zane.   We chatted caught up they wanted to know about my "first day" after dinner me and Zane went to garage at the bottom of the garden which was converted to a gym and sparred for a bit before he took me back to mine.
