Chapter 4

Luca really wanted a shower, he had one Friday at school, it was now Monday and he was on his way to his new school, it was 7am and it would take an hour to get to school and school didn't start until 8:45 plenty of time to find the showers and get clean.
As he got closer to the school he came to realise just how big and imposing it was, everything shouted money, he hurried through the school and finally found the showers he slid in quickly and quietly, stripped and got in and under the warm water, he was in heaven, he washed his curly hair then attacked his body with coconut shower gel, he spent 20 minutes under the water relaxing, part with him couldn't believe he was actually a student at this school, it must cost at least £5000 a term to go here, he should feel special but really he felt so out of place and everyone would know it, he climbed out the shower and quickly got dressed, the trousers fitted in length but were tight round his bum definitely didn't leave much to the imagination not that he was complaining he has always been told he has a lovely ass. He roughly dried his hair making the curls bounce, he got out one of the shirts and put it on and it was a nice fit next was the dark blue tie, he wasn't sure if he was meant to wear the jumper so he left it in his bag, slipped on his shoes. He looked in the mirror that was in the locker room, considering he was 17 nearly 18 he felt he looked about 12 with the stupid tie on, it was now 8:30 he started walking the halls looking for his form room which he finally found. He knocked and walked in "you are late young man" the teacher bellowed "Im sorry sir, I'm new and got lost" Luca said looking him straight in the eye, the teacher huffed "Don't be late again, take a seat" Luca looked out across the class room for the first time and found all the eyes whispering to each other and giving him come to bed eyes, there were a couple of spare chairs, he sat next to a guy all the girls that had empty chairs sighed Luca smiled to himself and shook his head "Can I get your name new student?" The teacher asked "Luca Goldstone sir" "Thank you I am Mr Hunter and welcome to The Academy" and with that he started taking the register and giving people bits of paper.

Form room only lasted 15 minutes and then it was on to first lesson Maths. He has to introduce himself and the girls were all looking at him and his backside when he walked passed. The teacher talked about what they were going to be studying this week and set everyone questions she then walked over to Luca "if you don't understand or have any problems please just ask for help, it must be tough being the new kid" she smiled at him in a way a teacher shouldn't at a student "it's ok miss, this is actually pretty easy stuff for me" she seemed taken back "Oh...ummm ok, well just work through the questions" and she wondered off, he worked through the questions and after 20 minutes had finished so he was playing with a pencil, the teacher walked back up to him and said in an annoyed voice "if your struggling you should ask instead of messing about" Luca dropped the pencil "actually I've done them all" "what all 2 pages?" She grabbed his work and walked back to her desk, the other students had stopped what they were doing and were now watching, you can hear her saying unbelievable, a few minutes later she handed his work back, he looked down to see he had them all correct "See Miss I said it was easy"
Lunch was well, a hot meal, which Luca was happy for, he queued up picked what he wanted Chips, cheeseburger, a cookie and a can of coke, he had been given a school credit card thing, the lady at the till swiped it and it can up as free. She gave him a sad smile as if to say you don't belong here, he walked over to an empty table and started to eat his meal, if he could of moaned he would have, it was heaven. He was going to save the cookie for later, he hadn't been paying attention and when he looked up nearly everyone was watching him, he went back to eating as if nothing had happened, he could really do with a distraction right about now, but he doesn't own a phone.

"So your one of the special cases they have taken on" the stranger said to me, bringing the whole lunch room to a stand still, Luca looked up to him "thanks for noticing" he said sarcastically "Are you going to be paying extra attention to me, because I like attention, it bring out my dark side" and then winked at him "No! That's not what I meant" people were sniggering, the stranger was looking around wildly "I run this school, you better watch out, one wrong move and I will take you out" "Sorry you aren't really my type" more sniggering "Shut up!" Luca rolled his eyes and stood up, the stranger was probably only an inch taller than Luca and had beautiful hazel eyes with strawberry blonde hair, he definitely worked out "when you decide what you actually want to say come and find me". The rest of the day was pretty boring, no one made an effort to talk to him but then again he didn't make the effort either but what's the point he can't bring any one over and he can't talk about himself it's just easier to have no friends, the one thing he did notice was the hazel eyed guy was in his afternoon classes.

The bell went for the end of the day, he now had an hours walk home to decide what he wanted to do about Andre. Decisions decisions. The kids were pouring out the doors when a rather nice black Range Rover pulled up and the driver got out and opened the passenger door everyone was whispering as the guy got out someone said "isn't that the guy, you know the leader of that gang, oh you know The Ravens" with that Luca looked up and smiled straight at Andre even tho he was still angry at him he couldn't help the smile. Andre leaned against the car then shouted "Come on Dreamer I ain't got all day" then smirked, the kids all turned looking at each other "I don't run for anyone, that's includes you" Luca stated back to him laughing as he walked up to him, Andre just rolled his eyes ruffled his hair "get in"
