"MORNING DUMB ARSE." a loud voice yells at me.
"Uhhhhh." I reply.
"You got to be in lessons in an hour and you have to be at breakfast in 10."
I cant think. Why aren't i at home.
Then
BAM
it hits me like a plane crash landing.
Wait that isn't right. A bus maybe?

Im at a fucking boarding school.
"Ill be there."
"You better." I try to figure out whose talking. My brain wont respond so i sit up and look around.
"Will?"
"Yeah?" He says.
"Couldn't remember your name."
"Get that a lot. now get out of bed."

"Uniforms not compulsory so your ok." He says.
"Cool. Wasn't gonna wear one anyway."
"Stupid Americans." I hear adam mumble walking into the room.
"Dipshit." I say so he can hear me.

After 2 minutes of getting ready i meet adam and will in the living room.
"Ready?" Adam asks.
What am i meant to say? Nah my legs need oiling. "Yeah." Is all i say.
"Ok. So you've got me in your first 2 lessons and adam in every other today. So we'll show you around. We meet at a secret table for lunch though." Will says.
"Ok." Ill somehow have to find it.

...
We get to breakfast and i get a slice of toast and sit with adam will and a few other people.
"Hey." Adam says.
"Oh my god what took you so long?" A girl squeals at him.
"Aubrey this is Jake. Jake, Aubrey my girlfriend."
"Hey." I say.
"Ohh American? How cute" a guy says from the other side of the table.
"Jake thats ash. He's super gay. So watch out he'll try and get you." Adam laughs.
"Rude." Ash responds. "But if you're up to it."
"Nah thanks. Im straight." I say.
"Thats Max, if you need homework talk to him." Max waves and continues writing  what looks like an essay. "And Amelia wills girlfriend."
"Not true. Im single. And I'm happy with that." Will says so quickly as if he knew it was coming.
"Hi." Amelia says. She sounds like will in the British way, more than the others. "Me and will are twins. And that there is an absolute moron." She points at adam.
"Bitch." Adam says in defence acting offended.
"Whatever you deserved it." She replies.

...
The first 3 lessons go by quickly. And break felt non existent due to non stop jokes.
Its now fourth. I have music. The only thing I'm not in top set for (if it even counts). Except for english of cause because im shit at SPAG. But i haven't had that yet.

I take a seat next to adam and ash. We were a bit late. But sir didn't seem to mind. 
"He's the most chill teacher un the school if you get on his good side. Like us." Ash says quietly.
"Good to know."

"Okay lads quiet down." Mr davids looks at us. "As i was saying, you've got to get into pairs and make up your own tune slash jingle for next lesson as homework, because i don't have any instruments in this room at the moment. You'll be doing theory. Get in your pairs and fill in the sheet."

I turn to ash and adam. "The fuck we meant to do now? Last time i checked three wasn't a pair." I say.
"Ill talk to him." Ash says.
He says something and mr davids replied louder so we can hear "sorry but theres an even number of weirdos now so we have to do the work in pairs. One of you can pair up with vic.
Ash walks back over. "You hear?"
We nod.
"Hey. Ill work with whoever vic is. I should get to know a few more people." They don't even hesitate to agree with me. Adam points me over to vic whose sat in a corner playing with her hair answering questions on the sheet.

"Hey. Im Jake." I say.
"I know. The new guy whose hanging around them crapbags." She points to adam and ash, "Im vic and i suppose you have to work with me so get a sheet and don't talk." She says.
Rude. I get a sheet and sit next to Vic. She helps me on a few questions. Talking as little as possible, ignoring most of what i say.
The lesson ends in about 5 minutes. People start packing up so i do the same.

"Jake." Someone says before i leave. I turn around to see Vic. "Want to meet up tomorrow after school?"
I give her a confused look. "For the homework" she says quickly.
"Ok. Meet at my dorm?"
"Sure. Where is it?"
"Dorm 114 west wing. I think." I say.
"K meet about half 3." She says before walking off.

Adam and ash are waiting for me along the corridor out of the way of people. "What took you?" Ash asks.
"Vic wanted to meet up for the homework." I say.
"Wow." Is all adam says.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing." He replies.
"Whatever."
"But if you get her ill pay you 50 quid." Ash says.
"Deal" i say. "But if i don't i don't have to pay you anything."he nods. Looks like i ain't gonna loose money. Or gain.
I didn't wanna ask Vic out because she wasn't my type. But i wont tell the guys that. I'll let them have their fun

...
We make our way to the lunch hall to meet up with the others. Adam cant get there quick enough.

He barely sits down when he starts talking interrupting everyone.
"Guys. Jake has a date with Vic."
The room goes silent and everyone looks at me. Literally everyone even the lunch staff.
