"This is torture" I breathed quitely. He just raised his eyebrow, urging me to continue, I took a breath, pushing a loose strand of auburn hair behind my ear. "having to choose. "

Sadies pov
Squeak. squeak. squeak. I kicked the polished wood floor repeatedly, ignoring the dirty looks the receptionist shot me, as she typed angrily on the laptop. "Sadie?" A voice called from behind a closed door. I sighed, heaving myself up from the plastic chairs that looked like they came straight out of the 1970s, you know, the ones with the holes in that make you feel like a 90 year old with back pain. "Sadie!" The voice called again, slightly more impatient. " I'm coming! " i called back, hobbling to the door.
"What has happened to your grades? you are failing at..." She searched through her papers "..Everything." "Well good morning to you too, Mrs Johnson, I'm very well, thank you" I said through gritted teeth, rolling my eyes. "The board of councillor-" I swear my eyes are perpetually rolling. "As I was saying, the board of councillors have made a decision to take action on this matter" Her annoying British accent is getting on my nerves now. I now do my best acting. First, I pretend to look worried, then I beg for forgiveness, promise I will study my arse off, then fall asleep, and get called to another pointless meeting, and repeat. "You will be placed in another room, with our very smartest students, here at Whitworth park academy." Now I started to panic, this hadn't happened before. "please don't make me leave, I will be your best student, please?" She ignores my puppy dog eyes and hands me my paperwork. "your new key, house number, information and anything you need is in there, you will also be sharing a house with some other.." She paused to think, "..troubled children" She smiled evily. " what called up her arse and died? " I mutter.
Ever since my parents dropped me off here , somewhere in Britain at the top of a hill, I have been in a room with my only friend, mai. Her dark, tight curls is the first thing I see as I step in the room. She is trying her best to untangle them in the mirror on the back of the door, I don't know who thought that would be a good idea, I have had many near misses of concussion when someone bursts in and I am behind the door. "Hi!" She bounces excitedly, obviously wanting to tell me something. I bury my frustration and conceal it with a smile, gesturing for her to explain. "I got the part!" She squealed " Mai that's amazing! " I genuinely smile and hug her , even though she is near 6 foot and I am 5'4. Mai has always wanted to be an actor, she always dragged her dad and me to practice, and vocal coaching, and dance lessons, and don't forget the performances themselves. "Who do you play?" I asked. She cleared her throat dramatically and gave me a demonstration. " Romeo, Romeo, where art thou romeo! " frankly I'm lost. "British person?" I ask. " I'm juliet, obviously" " Oh I see it now! " I gasp. Still lost by the way. Who is juliet?
"And that's how I got kicked out of my dorm" I mutter quickly, wincing, as I prepare for the inevitable yelling I will receive from my mother, on the other side of the world. Little did I know, mai was behind the door, as I heard her gasp. "You're abandoning me!" She wails , holding her hand to her heart. Sometimes I wished she had never discovered acting. This was one of those moments. " I'll call you back mom." Sitting on the bed, I hold my hands up in surrender at Mai. "Not abandoning, moved by force would be a better way to describe it" she huffs, turning the light off. "Well that's the end of that then," I think, turning over.

I frown at the amount of brown cardboard boxes piled outside the door in the hallway. I'm not sure how on earth I am going to carry these to the other end of the school. Whitworth park academy is a fancy boarding school, but is set out more like a college or a university. Trees line the sprawling paths, but they look more like sticks thanks to the confusing British weather, which has caused everything to go into hibernation 3 months early. There are 10 buildings, as well as the main hall and cafeteria. Large buildings which house students are in the middle of the school, but small and medium sized cabins are littered across the campus. And I was heading to one of those. Sighing, I grabbed a box and started the trek across the school.
I glanced at the map again, '15 oak way.' Here I was, yay! Note the sarcasm in my voice. I was spending the whole year with a group of nerds and my fellow 'troubled' kids. Brilliant. As I was about to knock on the door, a 6'3 boy, dressed in a black t-shirt and grey sweatpants walked out. I glanced at his face, and I was met with cold, blue-grey eyes and a perfect jawline. Before I could introduce myself, he was gone. Well that was weird. I stared at the house I would be living in. It was a age larger cabin than most, and had a wrap around balcony. Finally, I knocked on the door. I was greeted by an uninterested blonde girl, who was filing down her nails. "What do you want?" I was slightly surprised by the Aussie accent. " I live here now" she glanced up at me "oh, you're the dumb one that needs tutoring, follow me!" It seems like I didn't have much choice, so I followed her into the house like a lost puppy. " shoes go here, always remember to use a coaster on the table, don't walk with shoes on in the hous-" " Do you need saving from jess?" a voice called from upstairs as he came round the corner of the hallway. Holy shit he was good looking...
