Today was my first day of London Gate Designers Collage and I honestly couldn't be shitting more bricks even if I was a builder. This morning I got a text from Elise, Phee, Jade, Harry and Liam saying good luck and I got a sloppy make out session with Niall, so my Monday morning wasn't too bad. I decided to take a casually approach for my first day by wearing the same makeup, black jeans, a 'Kiss Me' tee with the writing being in the 'kiss' font... And of corse my Dr Martins. I ran down the stairs to find Niall slouched on the sofa on his phone in loose navy trackies, a matching colour jumper and his trainers with his hair still in a mess.
"You ready lil'miss designer"
he said while slipping his phone into his pocket and then slapping his thighs and standing up with a huff. I quickly ran to the kitchen to get an banana then ran to the door indicating I was ready to go. On his way over to me he picked up his car keys and then once he was in line with me he gave me a quick peck on the forehead.

The second I walked into the creative fashion workshop I instantly felt like a zoo animal with everyone watching my every mood and a few girls whispering to each other.
"Okay guys, this is our new student Miss Charlie-Grace Kim, and we are all aware she is all over our twitter feed but I am sure you will be able to over come this and treat her like a normal student in this collage" Said my new teacher while turning to face me then back to the class of 12 students. I gave a quick awkward wave just wanting to get to my seat and start.
"Carry on" she shouted to the rest of the class and then faced me.
"I'm Miss Gem, do you prefer to be called Charlie?"
"Charlie would be fine" I mumbled back.
"Okay, you can sit next to Destiny over there-" she pointed at a girl with dark hair before carrying on
"- and if there's any bitching or girls taking you for granted just come and tell me" she smiled warmly and then told me Destiny will tell me the project, In reply I have her a light smile and said thankyou before making my way over to my desk. On my way picking up a new folder and design paper.
"Hey" Destiny said as I took my seat on the red stool and then pulling out my art pencils.
"Hi I'm Charlie" I said back. she smiled at me dumbly already knowing who I was.
"Listen, I'm not gonna talk to you so I can meet Niall? I generally want to make friends with you so we're not awkward"
I signed in relief and generally smiled at her before saying thankyou.
"So.. What do we have to do?" I questioned wanting to start my project as I was well aware that I was behind.
"Oh shit yeah, you have the theme of night and have to creative a piece of clothing, so I'm guessing you'll do dresses? You have to do 5 different designs and 1 final product"
"Your from America?" I asked completely off topic but it stunned me
"Haha yeah. I moved here a few weeks ago because my folks wanted a new start. So I'm kinda new to all this aswell"
"Well I'm glad were on the same boat" I sighed in relief. I shifted my body wait so I was facing my shared desk.
It was currently lunch time which me and Destiny decided to spend in the fashion workshops to catch up with everyone else. We were sat at our desks with music playing from our head phones although we weren't talking it wasn't awkward it felt normal. To be sat with a girl I had met less than 5 hours ago. Destiny was finishing her 3rd design and I was finishing my 2nd.
My phone buzzed from beside me but I left it be so I could finished my work and get it over with, I took a quick glance at the screen to see a message from " Niall 💙 ". I tried my best to finished my dress design before I text back but another text came through from Niall and before I could finished the hair of my model another text came through and straight after that another and then a phone call. I got slightly worried and so did Destiny as she stopped what she was doing and looking at my phone.
