 Chapter 12- Introductions

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”~ Elbert Hubbard

He comes and sits in the only spot left in the whole class; next to me. All eyes are on him. I look down pretending to be busy. I know what everyone is thinking 'Feel sorry for him. He has to sit by the freak.' Miss starts the class. We work silently for a while.

"Erm hi. My name is Jake. What’s yours?"

"My name is Anna."

"Nice to meet you Anna. How long have you been here?"

"Just over two months."

"Oh. So you’re kinda new as well?"

"Yeah... I guess so."

I look up to see him watching me. He quickly looks down.

I feel my cheeks turn crimson red.

"So why are you here Jake?"

He looks up. "Because my timetable said History." We both start laughing,

"You know what I mean."

"We had to move. Dad got a promotion."

"Oh. That’s good right?"

"Yeah I guess so. I miss my friends and all but dad says we're both going to have to get used to it."

"And what does your mom say?"

He looked back down which meant he didn't want to talk about it. Oh.

We carry on working. "So why are you new here? Did you move like me?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, mom wanted a fresh start. I don’t really like it here. I miss my friends too."

"I quite like the people here, they've been really helpful."

"Hhmm"

Miss called the class to silence. She was explaining about Henry the Eighth.

"He has six wives, all he divorced or beheaded. All but one, it goes divorce, beheaded, died, divorce, beheaded, and survived! Henry thought that he was powerful enough to do what he want, he even started his own religion and that changed history very much. He had no respect for anyone especially women and how do we know that? He wanted a son. Now...."

Bastard

"Who's your favourite teacher An? Do you mind me calling you An?"

"Nope. It’s nice to have a nickname. My other friends used to say that my name was already too short to have a nickname. And favourite teacher? That’s would be Miss. Plimmer my English teacher. How about you?"

"Great! Then I'll call you An. And I haven’t had any of the teachers yet, she’s my first. I look forward to meeting Miss. Plimmer." He smiles at me and carries on taking notes.

He's a very jolly boy.

The bell rings signalling the last lesson of the day. Thank God.

"What lesson do you have now An?"

"Oh erm Biology. How about you?"

"Same. Do you have Mr Khan?"

"Yes. I do." I laugh. "Come on, I'll show you to the class room."

 ***

"WOW! You’re so smart Jake at Biology!"

"No I'm not! So shush. Erm where's Mr Jahlin's class?"

"That’s my form! Why?"

He starts laughing.

"What?"

"That's my form too"

"Really? Are you stalking me?"

"Maybe" He winks at me and we head to form.

 ***

"I'm glad I met you An. You’re a lovely person."

"Thanks, I don’t really get that a lot"

"Alright I gotta go this way." He points to the left.

"And I gotta go this way" I point to the right.

"Alright. Well I'll see you tomorrow Anna" And he walks off.

I start walking home.

WOW! He's beautiful and has a nice personality. He's not like the rest, there's something different about him. I hope me and him stay friends. Maybe me, him and Rhiannon can be friends? I hope Rhiannon likes him, what if she doesn’t? What if I have to pick? I mean I would pick Rhiannon because she's always stuck by my side... right? Don't think about this Anna. She will like him. I can tell. He seems like someone everyone likes. "You’re a lovely person” "You’re a lovely person"...”Lovely". I smile foolishly to myself and enter my hell-hole of a house...
