Green island

Chapter 3

The whether is really windy this morning. My dark brown hair was perfectly brushed before I left. Now it's just a newly established nest for some birds to live in. Broadgraph High school is not a bad school to go to, but it would be better if I had some friends. I'm always walking to school alone as well as eating my lunch in the canteen. I wish I had at least one friend, even if I was to find them in another world.

There is now only a few more metres of walking left, before I get to the school gate. Before I was just a few centimetres away, I froze still like a statue. I saw Adam. He was stood across the road outside Mr Looneys Shop. I hate him so much! He bully's me just for attention from others. When he takes my Rucksack, he empties my books and equipment onto the ground, then uses them just to do impressions of me, to make me look stupid. It happened last week. Somebody even videoed it happening, then uploaded it onto YouTube! It has nearly 80,000 views already. Why is there so many sick people in the world, who watches people being bullied for entertainment? It showed Adam doing the impressions with me behind him, trying to get my stuff back, but the person who was videoing grabbed my arm viscously and pushed me to the ground. I still have a bruise from how hard they grabbed me. I want the video off the Internet and so does my mother. That's one of the reasons why I hate technology!
Adam spotted me. I was still frozen. I wanted to sprint into the school, but I couldn't when I saw he was holding hands with Izzy Smith. The girl of my dreams. She is so beautiful, I love how she looks, along with her gorgeous long blonde hair. Why are they holding hands? I thought. Adam is very big, in fact the word 'big' does not cover how fat he is. Why is Izzy even touching him?
"Hey Matthew! Want to see me and Izzy kiss?" Adam shouted across the road. I didn't reply. I just faced towards the rusty school gate and went into the school. Why would Izzy go out with Adam? I quickly turned my head and saw Izzy kiss Adam on the cheek. They looked happy together. "I'm never liking her again" I whispered to myself.

The first lesson was geography, which would hopefully lift my spirits up. Our teacher is called Mr Fit. He wears his dark black suit like any other school day. When he wears sunglasses outside, he looks like one of the members from the film 'Men In Black', along with over 50 shades of grey colours in his hair. When we first had him at the start of the year, Adam always mentioned how Mr Fit wasn't so Fit. It was funny at first, but now it's just horrible. Then again, Adam needs to seriously look at himself in the mirror. "Now Boys and Girls, please sit down at your designated seats." Shouted Mr Fit. I sat down when being told the first time. Everyone else made sir shout about 7 times. After about 10 minutes, the class finally settles down and became quiet. The peace was great until we heard knocking on the door. Mr Fit opens the door. It was Mrs Johnson, the deputy head teacher. She walks into the classroom, Wearing a very white shirt with black trousers. She spoke "Good morning everyone. It's not every day we get exciting news, but today we have new student who is joining us." Who is the new student? Why would they come to Broadgraph high school? I thought to myself. Mrs Johnson called their name "Olivia, you can come in now." A female figure came into the room. She has long brown hair, which is tied back in a high pony tail with a dark blue ribbon. She wears the school uniform along with glasses, braces, and holds a brown book in her pale hands. People in the classroom were whispering things about her "wow she is fit" I heard someone say, which made the new student, Olivia blush with a smile. "Mr Fit, where would you like Olivia to sit" asked Mrs Johnson. The only spare empty seat was next to me. "Olivia can sit next to Matthew Hopalot over there in the empty seat". Damn you Mr Fit! Why next to me? I thought to myself. Olivia came over and sat down in the spare seat next to me.
Mrs Johnson left the room. The class started talking again. I am frozen once again. I don't know whether to try and make a great first impression or not. I took the chance. I faced towards Olivia "Hello, my name is Matthew" I said in a nervous voice. She turned towards me and smiled "Hi, I'm Olivia. Nice to meet you." We both shook hands. "So, why have you moved to Broadgraph High School?" I asked. "It's a bit personal, also I don't know you too well" replied Olivia. "Well you've known me now for about a minute. Is that enough time?" I said. Olivia laughs and replies "Okay fine, I moved because I was bullied at my old school. Everyone always took the mick out of me for being a geek. I love to read, everyone else seemed to not appreciate me being myself. The other week someone stole my books then ripped all of the pages out. That's why I've come here. There aren't horrible people here? Right?"
My heart suddenly stopped. I can't tell her about Adam being a bully to smart people, otherwise she would leave on her first day! "No, they're not horrible" I replied. "Everyone is fine here." "That's good" Olivia replied, who sighed with relief. "So, Matthew what are your interests?" Asked Olivia. "I'm interested in Learning science and geography. I also like to the read the odd book now and again." "Awesome!" Replies Olivia. "What are your interests?" I asked in a more confident voice. "Well, I love to read books as you can probably guess already. I'm a huge fan of Anime. I love to draw, and watch Big Bang Theory on TV. " Olivia replied. "Cool! Would you like to come to Mr Looneys Shop with me after school? It's only across the road." I asked. Olivia replies "sure!"
"Silence class!" Shouted Mr Fit at the top of his voice. "Matthew! Olivia! Stop talking now. I was expecting better behaviour from you two!" Olivia giggled. I think I have finally made a friend for the first time ever!
"Now class! Today we are learning about different countries. Learning about their differences between others such as the climate and populations. Did you know some countries are still waiting to be found? My ears shot up straight away! I love to learn new stuff, but this topic got me thinking. Thinking about is it possible that dad may of got stranded on a country which no body knows about. 20 minutes of thinking and learning later, it was the end of class.
