Part 10

I woke up to my annoying alarm clock going off. I slap the snooze button, but then quickly realise that today is my first day at my new school. I do my normal morning routine, which is 10x easier as I have my own bathroom, and then walk downstairs to get some breakfast.

"Morning Harper, you ready to leave?" Matt asks.

I reply with a smile and "as ready as I'll ever be". It's a five minute drive to school and Matt is driving considering I don't have a license yet and I'm not old enough. However I do turn 16 in 2 weeks.

"Don't worry Harper you'll be fine, we'll go to the office to get your timetable and we'll see if we have any classes together, ok?" Matt asks, I nod ok and thank him.
We start walking in school and people are already staring at me like I have something on my face, which just makes me more self conscious. Great. Well done. Blew it on your first day and you haven't even walked through the door. Provo.

Matt walks me to reception to grab my timetable and it turns out we have 3 out of 6 classes together, which I'm happy about. But now it means I'm going to have to either make new friends or be alone for the other 3 classes. The bell rings so me and Matt walk together to our first lesson maths.

"Yo Matt, who's the new girl?" A boy with dip-died blonde hair asks.

"Sam this is Harper my cousin from England I was telling you about and Harper this is Sam" Matt replies. Sam holds out his hand for me to shake and I gladly take the gesture.

Right not I'm shitting myself for my first lesson. I miss Hayley and my friends. God who am I kidding I miss my dad and sister. Ugh this is bullshit. Just as soon as I think that Matt snaps me out of my angry thoughts and motions me to our classroom. I open the loud door, but before I could speak the teacher looks me up and down and says "ah you must be Harper Lee Turner, our new student from England?" I reply with a simple head nod because I'm nervous as everyone is starring at me.

"You may take a seat wherever there is one free". The teacher smiles kindly. I take a seat near to Matt. Before the teacher could speak the door opens again and a handsome, tall, tanned boy walks in looking exhausted.

"Nice for you to show your face Jack" the teacher says.

"Sorry I'm late" he replies. The boy looks at me, so I quickly snap out of my gaze and lower my head, but before I know it he's standing at my desk looking down at me.

"Yes?" I ask with a smile not wanting to be too rude.

"Your the new girl, from England as well, nice. But your in my seat" he snaps.

"Oh I'm really sorry, I didn't know where else to sit so I just sat here..sorry again! I'll move now". I say embarrassed. He looks at me with what seems regret in his eyes and replies with a smile and "no it's fine just sit there, it's cool".

The rest of my school day had been pretty boring. I made a few new friends and it turns out that the Jack kid from earlier is in every singe one of my classes. How fun is this going to be(sarcasm).
