The Youngest Booth

Chapter 6

Jay's P.O.V.

Everyone at the new school were snobby as hell. 

"Newbies. They look like proper chavs," some boy said when me and Hayley walked in to school.

"Shut the fuck up you spanner," I said. They all laughed.

"Spanner? Oh you are stupid," Adam, the boy, laughed. I walked over and began squaring up to him. Some teacher saw what was happening and came over to us. 

"And who are you?" she asked. 

"Jay," I replied.

"And you?" 

"Hayley."

"They even have chav names," Adam joked. I walked up to him and punched him hard in the face. Hayley laughed.

"Young man!" the teacher yelled but me and Hayley were already running. I found my form room and was sad to find Adam was there.

"There he is the chav," he mocked. I ignored him and sat down waiting for the teacher to come.

"Let me guess you are in foster care," some other lad joked. I tensed.

"Take that as yes. What happened mum a junkie or something?" he asked. I got up and grabbed hold of his collar. He looked scared.

"What on earth are you doing?" my form teacher yelled. I hadn't noticed him come in. I let go of the lad, who I later found out was called Noam.

"What is your name?" the teacher asked me.

"Jay," I replied.

"You mean Gay," Noam said.

"Oh my god you know what you are so funny," I mocked him.

"Shut up," Noam said as the class began laughing.

"Aww did someone's feewings get hurt," I said in a baby voice.

"Jay out!" my form teacher said.

"Alright," I said and I walked out. I waited in the corridor and decided to text Missy.

I can't do this I already got in trouble twice and form ain't even started yet

Oh god

Please at least try and behave

Seriously?

Sorry I gtg

My form teacher came over to me.

"Not the best first impression," he said but he seemed pretty nice.

"Sorry but he really pissed me off," I explained.

"I will let you off this time just don't do it again," he told me.

"Yeah alright," I sighed.

~at lunch~

I had been kicked out of most of my morning lessons. I just couldn't help but get in trouble. I walked into the food hall and saw Hayley sitting alone. I went over to her.

"You alright?" I asked.

"Yeah you?" she replied.

"Got kicked out of most of my lessons but not too bad." She smiled slightly. 

"Aww it's chav central over here," Adam cooed. 

"You obsessed with me or something? Always coming over. Its like you're in love," I mocked him. Lots of people were laughing especially Hayley.

"Oi be quiet satsuma," he yelled at her.

"Don't call my sister that," I said, standing up.

"Why not?" he stood up looking directly in my eyes. He then head butted me right on my forehead. I fell back into my seat holding my head.

"The fuck was that for?" Hayley yelled. She pushed Adam backwards and he fell onto the floor. Adam got up and ran out of the hall.

"You alright?" Hayley asked me. She looked dead worried.

"That boy is gonna pay," I muttered. She smiled slightly.

"JAY BOOTH!" Mrs Williams, the headteacher, yelled. Hayley looked at me.

"See you after school," I whispered.

"You alright Miss?" I asked her.

"No! Come with me," Mrs Williams shouted. We walked to her office and she told me to take a seat. Mr Garfield(my form teacher) was in there as well.

"Right young man I have had several reports of your bad behaviour today," she said. I didn't say owt.

"Well?" she asked.

"Well what?" I asked her.

"Well why are you behaving in this way?" Mrs Williams asked. I had to stop and think. If I was being honest I wasn't sure. 

"I dunno Miss," I answered. 

"Look we know how hard your life has been and everything you have been through," Mr Garfield said.

"You what?" I said, "You have no fucking clue what I have been through!" I got up and ran out the office. I made it all the way to the fence near the back of the school and I climbed over it. I went into town and just walked around. 

~a few hours later~

I must of fallen asleep cos it was dark. I was just sat their when a car pulled up. Missy and Miss Keane got out. 

"What are you doing here?" I asked. Missy ran over to me, smacked me and pulled me into a hug.

"I have been worried sick," she spat.

"I am sorry. I can't stay here," I said.

"Well about that," Miss Keane said. My head shot up.

"Well we think we have found a way to get you and Hayley home," Missy told me. She explained their plan.

"Great! We are relying on a junkie. We are fucked," I said.

"Yeah I know but we might as well try," Missy said.

"Well we have to go," Miss Keane said. They walked over to the car.

"Jay behave yourself yeah? For me?" Missy said.

"Anything for you," I sighed. I got home and Hayley ran over to me. 

"You're an absolute arse Jay Booth," she yelled at me but she hugged me none the less.

That night I told her all about Missy's plan and she doubted mum just as much as I did. All I had to do now was wait. Oh and not get kicked out of school. Surprisingly I stayed out of trouble (mostly) all week.
