England to America

5-Learning

I heard my alarm and sat up quickly, I swiped on my phone and got out of bed, I made my way over to the bathroom and had a quick shower, but I'll wash my hair tomorrow evening. I brush my hair out and do a quick, messy french plait. I apply a little mascara and eyeliner. I go into my wardrobe and get a black t shirt with a skull on. Then I put on some skinny jeans that go from grey at the top, to white at the bottom, I grab my bag.

I go downstairs and grab an apple. I look at the time and see its 5 past 8. We should probably get going soon, since we are going to walk. I go upstairs and knock on Alex's door. "Almost ready!" He calls

"Come on!" I say

"Hey I still need breakfast" He moans

"I'll get you an apple" I say

I head back downstairs and grab another apple for him, I grab some money from the drawer, for lunch and I go out into the hallway, I see Alex putting on his shoes, I find my white converse and put them on. I straighten up and give Alex his apple.

"Thanks" He says

"Welcome" I smile

He opens the door and I follow, I lock it behind me since Mum has already gone to work.

Soon enough we arrive at school, I look at Alex and he smiles. We walk in and straightaway find the reception.

"How many times have I told you, don't come through the reception, go round the back!" The lady sighs

"Well actually we're new, so you've never told us that before, but thank you for telling us now" Alex says cheerily

"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry!" She says

"Its fine" Alex chuckles

"If you tell me your names I can give you your locker combination and number and your timetable" She says

"Alex and Evie Hollins" He says

"Okay...Here we go" She hands us a few sheets of paper each

"Just go through there and you'll find the hallway, if your locker starts with a 0, its on this level, 1 is first floor and 2 is second floor. You'll also find a map on your timetable so that you can find your class easily, have a nice day" She gave us a friendly smile

We both find our lockers, which are luckily, right next to each other. I just keep my stuff on me, since I don't really know what I'll need, but I'm sure I'll use it soon.

"Oh my god, Lucy is being such a bitch, I bet she's on her period" I overhear a girls conversation

"Totally" The other girl says

Oh look, a totally stereotypical queen bee and her minion. I'll steer clear of them. I look at Alex and he rolls his eyes, he must have heard too. I look at my timetable and see that I have History with Miss Scott in room 109.

"Alex what do you have 1st?" I ask him quietly

"Science with Mr Dobson, you?"

"History with Miss Scott" I sigh

I wish we had the same timetable, then I wouldn't have to socialise. I give him a smile and he smiles back, I head to my lesson. I check that its the right door, and realising I'm a little early go in.

"Morning...Um, I'm sorry, whats your name?" She smiles at me, she has curly ginger hair and glasses

"Its Evie" I say quietly and I blush

"Okay Evie, just sit wherever you want, but that will be your seating plan, so make sure you like it."

I nod and look around, I head over to a desk one row from the back, next to the window. My phone buzzes and I take it out.

Made any friends yet? Its Alex

Yeah, I made LOADS I sarcastically text back

I'll look forward to meeting imaginary friend 1, 2 AND 3!! He says back

You should be. I say

But SIRIUSlY He jokes

Only some weird guy called Alex... I text back

I'm sure there's nothing RON with him. He says, I laugh and prepare my speech

Your obsession with Harry Potter has gotten a bit RIDDIKULUS, keep up with these puns and you just might get MUGGLED I press send triumphantly

Too bad cos we're NEVILLE gonna stop He says

The bell rings and I quickly put my phone away, I look to my right and see Jacob and I jump. He laughs and I look at the board blushing.

After History and Science, I go to maths, except I realise that we have actually already done this topic in England. I finish the work early, in fact ten minutes in and my teacher gives me a textbook for higher years since I've already learnt all the topics that our year normally does.

"Hey" Jacob comes up behind me, I turn around and say

"Stop doing that!" He chuckles at my exclamation

"Not gonna happen" I huff at this

"I heard that you finished our work in ten minutes flat...How?!?" He asks

"We've done it all before in England" I explain

"Oh that makes sense"

"Um, can I sit with you at lunch?" I nervously ask

"Sure, I can introduce you to all of my friends"

"Can my twin brother come too?"

"Yeah, the more the merrier"

I look for Alex and see him in the lunch line, alone. I head over to him and say

"Ha, suck on your non existent friends, I have-" Alex puts his sweaty hand on my mouth, ewww! I lick it in hope of him taking his disgusting hand away. But no, he just smirks and says

"Licking won't do anything..." He laughs

I bite.

"Owwwww, you bitch!" He says cradling his hand

I however, start gagging from the spit intake, during this all Jacob has been in fits of laughter.

"You two are hilarious!" He says whilst trying, and failing, to sober up. I blush a little.

"I guess I'll introduce you to all my friends then..."

Me, Alex and Jacob buy our lunch and head outside to where the rest of his friends are.
