I woke up to the sound of Green Day and immediately got up. I sang alone for a while until I remembered what today was. It was the first day back from the summer holidays and I was not excited. I'm starting a new school again.

I got expelled from my other school for pouring some chemical in the science lab, down the teachers shirt. I mean what was I supposed to do? She has no right bossing me around. Her job is to teach, not to force us to learn. Apparently it was inappropriate behaviour and I was lucky not to choose the poisonous one. Nah, I believed she deserved dry ice going down that ugly pink shirt of hers.

I was not exited for this school at all, because it was one of those smart school which is full of nerds. I went downstairs to my cousin who already made breakfast.

My parents broke up but my cousin took me in, because he thinks I will be in better hands. Yeah, and now I'm going to my 8th school because of getting expelled. Better hands, haha. I got dressed and left my purple hair out. As I walked to the kitchen I took my black bag off and put it down to eat breakfast.

"First day! Excited?" He smiled.

"Yeah" 

"Really?" His eyes widened.

"No" I said simply and started eating. 

I'm actually glad that Alec took me in instead of my parents. He is so much fun and is always up for adventure. He takes such good care of me and I love him so much!

"What did Barack say to Michelle when he went down on one knee?" He asked and I didn't reply. "I don't wanna be Obama-self" And as he said that he burst out laughing.

Okay- I love him except when he says him 'hilarious' jokes. Note the sarcasm.

"It's not that funny" I say blinking at him.

"Yeah it is, coz Obama-self sounds like 'all by myself' and he is asking her to marry her-" He kept rambling and I tuned out. I wonder what would this school be like. Here in Sydney, there isn't many good public schools. However the one I was going to, happened to have a good record of academic students. 

"What are you going to do all day?" I asked Alec when i realised he stopped talking. 

"Work, where else? Oh, I got another joke! Want to hear it?" He asked.

"No"

"Knock Knock?"

"No"

Come on! Just say who's there?" 

"No"

"If you say no then no laptops or phones for a week!" He frowned.

"Who's there?" I sighed.

"Mikey"

"Mikey who?"

"Mikey won't fit in the key hole." And as he said that he burst out laughing. He wouldn't stop laughing and let go of the jug of milk he was holding. All the milk spilled everywhere and the glass shattered. He still wouldn't stop laughing and started banging on the fridge. The fridge fell over and Alec moved away just in time, only to knock over the microwave.

"Lets applaud to great Alec! Thank you, thank you!" I bowed sarcastically. He stopped laughing and stared at me.

"um... so hows the weather been?" He smiled putting a hand on the side of his head and the other one on his hip, trying to be casual.

"Hmmm.. I mean its been raining for the past week so not that good." I smiled back. "So who are you going to blame this on?" 

"Um... It's all Tony Abbotts fault!" He said and skipped upstairs. I rolled my eyes and went to school hoping to be late. 

///////////////////////

I walked to the office to see what the heck I'm supposed to do here. Everyone was in class meaning I had successfully made it to school late. I knocked on the window to get the lady's attention and she got up to see who it was. I noticed a small Australian flag on the desk and played with it. 

However I ended up breaking it. The office lady smiled and told me about my timetable and blah blah blah.

"Here is you partner, who will help you around. His name is Ashton Irwin." He pointed to a boy who I didn't notice was standing there the whole time. 

She fixed the flag I broke and said good bye to me. I looked at her and back at the flag. I grabbed it and snapped it in half, before putting it back and smiling at the lady as I walked away.

The boy, Asher? I don't know what his name was, but he caught up to me and started laughing.

"Whats so funny? I didn't even say anything to you?" I raised an eye brow.

"You should have seen the office lady's face when you broke the flag."  He laughed.

"Well it looked better like that. Anyways bye!" I walked away.

"Do you even know where your going?" This boy really is annoying me now.\

"Are all the teachers for languages teaching right now?" I asked.

"I don't know, why?" He frowned.

"Just asking." I said as I ran off to the direction of the Languages staffroom. Oh this will be fun.

I finally found the staffroom and walked in. I looked around and found only one teacher who was on the computer.

"Um... Ms, uhh one of the teachers was asking for you" I said. She looked at m and frowned.

"Who was it?" She asked.

"Um.. uhhh. His name was um Mr Smith?" I randomly guessed a name.

"Oh no, he is always needing help." She shook her head and walked out. Well that worked out well.

I caught site of Ashton, yes thats his name, outside the room with a confused expression. I ushered him to come in which he did. I opened the fridge and found everything. There was sushi, pasta, rice, left over pizza, ice cream, and fruits. 

"Dig in!" I smiled and started eating.

"If we get in trouble for this, its on you!" He said before eating.

"Gladly. See language teacher always have the best food!" I said. When we finished I stood up, I grabbed a permanent marker. I wrote on the fridge in large font, 'Thanks for the free lunch' and walked away.

Ashton then started a lecture about getting caught and that it wasn't a good idea and I wasn't even listening so who cares?

We both had maths and went to class. When we walked in, all eyes were on us. 

"Why are you staring? Its not like Harry Styles just walked in or anything?" I snapped at the class who quickly looked away. I heard Ashton chuckle. 

"You must be the new student? Sorry what is you name?" The teacher asked.

"Elliot Clarkson."
