My name is Bale

Pov Noah
A week later
Right now we are sitting in a cab to our new house. we stayed in a hotel for a week and only dad stayed at the new house. He payed people to put everything on its place. dad said he bought new stuff for our rooms and I'm curious to know what my room looks like. We get to a familiar neighborhood. I have the idea I've been here before. we stop in front of a mansion. it's beautiful and really big. a lot bigger than our house in madrid. we get out of the cab and me and alba stand their in awe. mom already saw it before.
A: "what the hell.."
N: "did dad have to much money or what?" I say. mom chuckles. Dad opens the front door and walks over to us. he puts an arm around mom.
G: "so what do you think?"
A: "it's great"
N: "awesome!"
G: "c'mon I'll show you around" we follow dad. he shows us a gym, an inside pool movie theater a game hall, candy room next to the movie theater, an indoor soccer training field, and a bowling court. then he shows us out rooms. Luckily it's not really big because now it's really cosy.
G: "do you like it?"
N: "I love it. thanks dad" I smile.
G: "what about you alba?"
A: "it's cool" she says shrugging her shoulders. it's sad for dad because he tried his best.
N: "bitch" I mumble to alba.
G: "watch your mouth" I roll my eyes. "So as you know you're starting school tomorrow. for now we invited the neighbors to get to know them.
A: "do they have any children?"
G; "a boy Noah's age and a girl your age on one side and the others don't have kids." We all go our own ways until the bell rings. I'm up in my room and I hear some people chat.
E: "alba, Noah! Come downstairs" me and alba hop down the stairs but stay on the stairs when I see the two people I hoped never to see again. those who abused me. I just stand there shocked. I knew I have been in this neighborhood before. I also see another couple with a handsome boy and a pretty girl.
G: "these are our daughters Alba and Noah." dads says and everyone introduces to us. the boys is called Damon and the girl Elena. their parents are john and Miranda. the people who abused me are Isobel and nik. Isobel smirks at me. We go to the dining room and sit down at the table. I sit between mom and alba and across from Damon. The whole dinner we talked. Damon and I get along very good. we laughed a lot. After dinner everyone leaves. me and alba do the dishes.
A: "what happened?" Alba started.
N: "what do you mean?"
A: "C'mon Noah I saw you were shocked when we came downstairs."
N: "i lived with nik and Isobel when I was little."
A: "then why did you live in an orphanage?"
N: "they abused me." I say while a tear falls from eye. alba gasps and hugs me.
A: "I'm so sorry for you."
N: "stop. I don't want people to feel sorry for me"
A: "do mom and dad know who they are?"
N: "no."
A: "you should tell them"
N: "no way. then I will never be allowed to leave the house on my own"
A: "but.."
N: "c'mon you know how mom is"
A: "but aren't you afraid then?"
N: "of course I am but I don't want to be stuck in the house because I scared to go out. Promise me you won't tell them"
A: "okay fine I promise" we finish the dishes. I'm really tired. i walk to my room and change into my pajamas. I say goodnight to mom and dad and go to sleep.
BANG!!! I suddenly hear as I wake up. it's 3 in the morning. my window is broken and there's a brick on the floor. I scream and my door bursts open.
G: "what happened?" Then he sees the brick and the window. "Are you okay?" He asks as he walks over to me. I start crying. I cover my face with my hands as I cry in my fathers chest. "shhhhh" he whispers rubbing my back. mom is just watching us. a tear falls down her cheek. We are all startled I guess. dad reaches out his arm and motions for mom to sit down next to him. he puts one arm around her and she covers her face in dads shoulder.
N: "mom are you okay?"
E: "yes. I'm just startled" she says as she get up. "I'm going to check on alba" mom leaves the room. Dad and I sit there for a while and I fall back to sleep.
**********Next morning**********
I wake up by my moms voice. I open my eyes and lol I'm in my parents' bed. then I remember what happened last night. I fell asleep in dad's arms. he must have take me to their room. I get up and walk to my room. Glass is on the floor. I change into my clothes and if my usual morning routine. then I go downstairs to the kitchen. dad is baking pancakes. I sit down on the table. dad places a plate in front of me.
N: "no thank you. I'm not hungry."
G: "you have to eat something."
N: "fine I'll take an apple" dad sighs but lets it go. Mom comes into the kitchen.
E: "c'mon Noah. we need to go." she says stressed. "I have to be at work on time." she got a job at a magazine. in madrid she didn't have a job but she said she was bored doing nothing.
N: "I'll walk to school"
E: "absolutely not. not after what happened last night." She leaves the kitchen. "ALBA!!" I hear her shout. alba comes downstairs and enters the kitchen with mom. "hurry"
A: "mom calm down."
E: "okay let's go." mom says and kisses dad. we follow mom to the car and get in. mom drives to our new school. she stops the car and takes her wallet.
E: "here's some money for lunch." she says giving us both 10 pounds.
N: "thanks mom. bye"
A: "bye" we get out of the car. alba is called by Elena and me and alba go our separate ways. I go inside to the service desk to get my shedule and locker. I walk to my locker and see damon with another boy and a girl. they walk over to me.
D: "hey."
N; "hi"
D: "guys this is Noah, Noah these are chad and Kayla"
N: "hey" I say.
D: "what do you have first?"
N: "hmm I don't know. this schedule is complicated." I chuckle.
D: "let me see." he says taking it. "your in our class." he smiles
K: "great! finally another girl." Kayla smiles. I think I'll like her. we walk to our first class which turned out to be history. I sit next to Kayla and in front of chad and damon. the classes are boring but I get along really good with chad and Kayla. when we have lunch break the four of us get lunch and with down at a table. Three girls walk over to us.
K: "that's Abby she's a senior, popular girl. ignore what she says she's a bitch. " She whispers.
Abby: "hey you're the new girl right."
N; "yes.."
Abby: "you should come sit with us."
N: "no sorry."
Abby: "I'm giving you the best opportunity to be friends with the popular kids."
N: "well thanks for the offer but no."
Abby: "fine.. then your school life will be miserable." she says and leaves our table.
N: "bitch" i mumble.
D: "so tomorrow are sport try outs. are you planning on joining a team?"
N: "for the soccer team I guess."
C: "I wish you good luck with that. it's been the same team since 3 years. no one makes the team."
D: "dude, you don't know how she plays. she probably is as good as her father." I hit his arm
C: "who is your father?"
D: "gareth bale." Damon says and I sigh.
K: "who is that?"
N: "thank you" I say relieved. I don't want them to hang out with me because of my family.
K: "ill try with you" she smiles. "I've got nothing better to do anyways."
N: "great. thanks" i smile.
D: "we still have 15 minutes. let's go outside."
C: "okay" we get up an go outside. I follow them to the back of the school. There's a wall with a start of a painting.
N: "did you make this"
D: "yes" Damon smirks.
N: "awesome."
C: "you want to help?"
K: "remember it's illegal."
N: "I don't mind"
K: "cool"
After a while Abby and her friends are watching us and Abby is making pictures.
C: "what are you doing?"
Abby: "I'm going to send these to my dad"
N: "why would you send them to your dad?"
K: "her dad is the headmaster."
D: "let's go"
We all follow Damon but when I pass Abby she let's me stumble over her feet.
N: "bitch." I say as I turn around.
Abby: "I told you I would be a pain in your arse" she smirks. I point the spray can I'm holding at her and spray al over her clothes and Michael Kors bag. my friends start laughing.
Headmaster: "what is going on here"
Abby: "dad! they where painting the wall and when I told them to stop Noah sprayed paint on me."
Headmaster: "you're all on detention for the whole week. Noah you can come with me."
N: "what the hell. she threatened me"
Headmaster: "don't get a smart mouth or ill make it two weeks."
I follow him to his office. I sit down.
Headmaster: "I'm going to call your parents. we have to discuss this." he takes a phone and calls someone. the person he called doesn't pickup. I look at the time. dads practice is over. he tries again.
Headmaster: "good afternoon this is mr Armstrong. headmaster from London high. I assume Im speaking with mr bale?" ..... "There's been an incident with your daughter Noah which we have to discuss. Is there any possibility for you to come to school?" ..... "okay thank you. bye" "Okay Noah. you can wait in the hall." I leave the room and sit down on a chair. after a while I see dad coming wearing a hoodie and sunglasses. he sits down next to me.
