They'll be a mix of what actually happens in the show and just made up stuff.
My foster parents let me finish the year at ackley meaning that I had to get the train. The journey was around an hour which for me felt like years. I also got to spend half of the summer holidays with Cory and Jordan.
I do miss them but there's nothing we could have done about it. When I left we would speak on the phone everyday but now we only do it on the weekends but I do know that they would pick up the phone whenever I ring. Corys busy with his a levels and Jordan went away to art school. I'm still in contact with Mr Bell and he'd come and see me whenever I'm in ackley. I hate to admit it but he was more of a dad to me than my own. The booths and aaron check on me now and then and I see then whenever I'm around. I will always appreciate everything missy did for me. I am now in year 8. I play for Rochdale AFC Academy. I'm a starter for the u14s and have lately been training with the u15s in hopes to be moved up.
Anyways today is my first day at Waterloo road. Sheryl: James get up and ready James: 5 minutes Sheryl: nope up now. It's your first day of school. James: do I have to go? Sheryl: I'm afraid so kiddo. Come on. David made pancakes. I jumped out of bed James: why didn't you say that? I ran downstairs and Sheryl walked in behind me. David: someone's in a good mood Sheryl: he wasn't in this mood a few minutes ago. One mention of pancakes and here we are. Liam: morning James Lila: morning James: morning We ate our breakfast. I put my plate in the dishwasher and went to leave the kitchen Sheryl: where do you think your going? James: erm to get ready? Sheryl: meds James: ugh fine. I went over to the medicine basket and took my seizure meds. I then pretended to take my ADHD ones Sheryl: done? James: mhm Sheryl: you've got about half an hour to get ready James: okay
I went to the bathroom and had a quick shower and brushed my teeth. I went to my room and put my shirt and trousers on and my Nike hoodie over stuffing my blazer in my bag. I put curling cream in my hair and scrunched it David: James! Liam! I ran to the top of the stairs and threw my trainers down then sprinted down the stairs crashing into David who was waiting David: Seriously James? James: sorry I sat on the stairs and put my shoes on Sheryl: where's your blazer? James: bag Sheryl: tie James: upstairs Sheryl: you need to put it on James: I don't like it Sheryl: you have to wear it. You don't want to be getting into trouble on your first day. I'll make it loose so you don't feel it James: fine I ran and got it and Sheryl tied it loosely Sheryl: better. Liam came down the stairs. Sheryl: right you two. No fighting. Do as your told. No arguing with teachers. No trouble. You hear me Liam: mhm James: no promises She glared at me so I held my hands up in surrender David: right let's go before we're late James: dibs in the front Liam: not if I get there first Liam ran out so I ran after him James: hey you son of a bitch David: watch your mouth I got to the passenger seat first after shoving him out the way.
Oh did I forget to mention. David's a teacher at school. My school. The school I'm being forced to go to. Yayyyyy. NOT.
We were on our way to school. I was just zoned out staring out the window. David: James James: yeah yeah that's cool sure David: James James: hmm yeah David: did you hear what I said? James: yeah yeah totally He just looked at me James: okay no I didn't David: that's okay. I said that if you need anything just come and find me or Liam James: okay We finally arrived. It was quite a big school. There was quite a lot of people. I was feeling a little overwhelmed so I tried calming myself down by counting. Liam: hey your okay. Everything will be fine. I'll be here to help you. We walked through the doors. Liam: I better go to my form room. I'll check in at break. If you need me message me okay? James: okay Liam left so it was just me and David David: how are you feeling? James: I don't know David: that's okay. I know it must be confusing and overwhelming but everything will be okay.
