Recap: "ok sweetie, time to find our house." The car started to move forward while i looked back at the town.
---
I was bored out my skull. The radio in our crappie car had decided to stop working. Somebody definitely wanted me to kill myself! The car started to swerve round a bend. And up a couple more hills before i seen our new home. I had checked it out on the internet. Hamilton Manor. The 4 bedroom house that my mum had found for sale at a very cheap price, was now ours. I would rather sleep in the car. This house was old, creepy and crumbling at the slightest movement.( It wouldn't last a minute with my Slipknot CD blaring out the CD player) My mum drove up the open drive-way and parked in front of the cracked stairs.
" here we go sweet-pie" my mum whispered. As i began to unpack the car while my mum tore round the house pulling off furniture protectors, i had a thought. School? Where is it or maybe there wasn't even one. Maybe i had to walk for miles until i found a school. I mean, did you see any kids? No, so why should there be a school?
" Mum where's the school?"
"just 5 houses away. If you follow the road past the woods that's you there." Well that seemed easy enough. I helped my mum with the unpacking and grocery shopping. By the time everything was unpacked it was 11.43pm. i needed my energy for school tomorrow, so i headed to bed.
It was morning in no time. I felt pain flow through my arms after lifting box's all afternoon yesterday. I dizzily slumped out of my mattress(on the floor) to the unclean, dusty bathroom. My hair was a mess!! I ran back to my backpack to grab my brush when the old grandfather clock strike Half past eight. Wait....Crap i only had 20 minutes to get ready to get to school. I was starting 5 Level. Yup that's what this posh, snobby school call it. What happened to grade or year? The school had 7 level's. Level was for infants, then so on you move up until your in 6 level then you can leave. 7 level is for..well i don't no, something about extra grades.( like i would be doing that!) I skipped breakfast and quickly changed for school. My Uniform had turned up at dinner last night. Weird? Anyway, i was for sluts. Short skirts, Tight shirts with the school crest on them. I would rather be shot. I pulled on my clothes, smothered some eyeliner on and left for school.
I had to run to school. I would have to go through the woods tomorrow if i wanted to be early. i approached the large old school building. 'Darkmond-High, Private School'. Ok, Here we go. I approached a teacher and told her, i was knew. A welcoming smile grew on her face. She gave me my schedule and took me to registration.
"Now, Harper, I'm Mrs Hilltop i will be your Guidance teacher for the next couple of years. Darkmond has rules to follow; there will be no use of drugs. No smoking. No Sex on premises and no Changing style of uniform. We have a reputation and we do not want that spoiled. Ahh, here's your registration class, your teacher is Mr Williams and Your In Class 6c. Any questions?"
"N-no."
"Jolly, Lunch starts at quarter to one and school ends at 4.00pm. Good luck." The sound of her high heels faded down a long corridor. I looked around. Everything was Marble. Wow!! This was amazing. I opened the door of Mr Williams's room. As i walked in. Everybody paused. They were all staring at me. I felt blood rush to my cheeks. Crap! I let my hair fall so that it coved my Bright Cheeks. Mr William's showed me my seat and the whole class started talking again. The bell rung before i could move one millimetre. Everybody flooded out and i began my day.
The first 4 of hours were quick. Art was Fun, Mr C ( i couldn't say his last name) was funny. Bio and P.E were....mmh, exciting! Not. Music was great! I had to be moved into a higher class all because my Hill-Billy music teacher said i had a gift with the vocal side? Ha! So now I'm stuck with older kids...Great!! but I meet this boy named Cameo. He Was moved up as well. He had brown, short hair and we had alot in common. We loved the same music and all. But i could tell that he was hiding something from me. But never gave any clues. The lunch bell rang and i headed to the crowed lunch hall with Cameo ( Whoop Whoop I made friends.
The lunch hall was like nothing i have ever seen. It was a giant circle. It was all white. Table's white, chairs white, carpets white. Cameo noticed my open mouth and grabbed my arm and dragged me over to a circler table.
"hey, Guys. Look what i found" Cameo's smile on his face grew wider. I blushed." This is Harper, she just moved her with her mum and is living in Hamilton manor" Cameo sat and then tapped the space beside him. I got out my apple and started eating. The was a girl with long blonde hair opposite me. She wasn't like a Barbie, she was more like a Rock Chick Barbie. Then Sitting beside her, was a boy on her right who had short spiky hair and a Fiit body and a boy on her left who was staring at me weirdly. He had Black and blue through his long hair and had a really skinny body.
" hi Harper, I'm Kate. This is Robert" She gestured to her right "and this is Riley"- she gestured to her left. " i hope i get to know you a bit better but right no, i need to go get heather and go to gym" Kate got up and left. Great alone with 3 guys! At least there is another girl....somewhere.
"So Harper..You single?"Robert blurted out along with some tuna sandwich.
"Rob, shut the fuck up you freak!!" Riley blurts out. "You never change! Anyways" Riley's stare locked on mine " Ok, Harper. There is lots of things you should know, ok..ermm..I'm gay, Rob is a perv and Cameo Likes waffles." Ok.. Waffles? I didn't mind the gay part but waffles? All i could do was laugh.
"Harper, i just had to clear the air. Sorry" He gave me a quick smile.
There was NO way he could be gay. His great body, his hot looks. Why! Whhhyyyy!!! But my best friend back home, Markus, was gay and he hid his secret from everyone and then one day people started to notice and they started to keep there distance...he got hurt.
"Its Cool, I know what you mean, I had a friend at home like you who didn't like to keep secrets like that and one day he had enough and just told people cause people were avoiding him cause he was gay. I understand." And i did, cause what happened to Markus was the same situation here.
"Well, The Girl, Kate, She's fun, good for gossip and shopping. Heather is more, Rock-chick type and we don't see her much. She keeps to herself. I better be off. I need to help Mrs Kent with the lab before the bell rings bye!!!" He waved really quickly then ran out the swing doors. 10 minutes later The bell rang and i headed back to classes.
School had finally finished, French and Math were ok. Cameo and the heather girl were in my Math class. I walked home the long way( the woods looked freaky) and by the time i got in Mum had gone back to work. I walked throw the large entrance hall and into the kitchen where a note read 'we need milk, don't have time to get some before shop closes. thank you love mum'. More or less GET MILK! I grabbed the house keys and ran down to the shop. I grabbed some milk and some chocolate for later and then left the shop. Across the road was a cute bookshop. I ran across the road to get a better look. The books were new and old. The shop was closed but i couldn't help notice a sign on the door reading ' help wanted call 01234675675' A job, mmh... I grabbed my cell out my pocket and made the call.
