Feels Like Home (A Louis Tomlinson Fanfic)

Chapter 2 ~ First Day Of School

+ Julie's Point of View + 

My new room was alot bigger than my old one, but I still didn't like it. I wasn't going to like anything, because I didn't want to be here. I really wanted to move back home to Manchester. How come there's so many people living here in Doncaster? I've never seen such a boring town in my entire life!

I looked out the window and saw three older men caring around on our boxes and furniture while my mom was telling them where to put it inside the house. All my stuff were already inside, but I didn't feel for unpacking it. 

I sighed deeply and sat down on my new bed. My mom ordered it on the internet before we moved, but I didn't understand why she bought such a big one. It wasn't like I needed one? I was just going to feel more alone now. Thanks for that, mother.

But what was I going to do now?  ... Well, I could look for my computer and pray that Louise would be online on skype? 

Great idea, Jules!

I got up from the bed and went over to the boxes. Hopefully, my computer would be in the first box... I had totally forgotten to mark the boxes before we moved, like my mom always did. I told you, I'm stupid.

Oh, there it was! I lifted up my laptop and walked up to my bed again. After I had pressed the start-button it began to wake up. I typed my password, and when I was logged in, I klicked on the skype logo. 

Please, please, please! Let her be online, please!

Yes!

~ +_LouLou_+ accepted your call. ~

"Hey LouLou!", I said and waved.

"Hi Jules!" She smiled and waved back. I had to admit that she looked pretty tired, but I understood... Timezones. I hated that, because now I couldn't call her when I was in school. We could just talk around noon or at night.

"What are you up to?", I asked.

"Nothing. Just getting ready for school." She sighed and moved her computer so she didn't have to hold it anymore. "And how about you? How's your new home in Donkeyca--" 

"Doncaster", I adjusted. "I don't know... Our house is pretty nice, but... I miss my friends." LIES LIES LIES! But I had to give her some reason, and I couldn't really tell her the truth and say that I didn't want to leave the house because my dad hung himself there. That didn't sound very nice, or logic. I didn't understand how my mom could just... Let it all go and move?

"I understand", she nodded compassionately. "And I liked your old house. It must be boring to leave."

"Mhm. I just want to go back..."

"But hey, stay positive. You'll get lots of new friends in your new class!"

"You think so...?", I asked questionable. 

"Of course you will! And you'll tell me all about them and give me a house tour on Saturday! But now I really have  to go. Love you, bye!" She waved at me and hung up. 

"Hi sweetheart", my mom said and handed me a cup of tea. "Have you packed up your stuff yet?"

"No... Not yet. I've been talking to Louise."

"Oh, I see." She nodded and took a sip of her own teacup. "How is she?"

"Good, I guess. We couldn't talk for so long, she was getting ready for school. But she seemed okey, just a bit tired."

"Aha... Oh, and speaking about school... I've talked to your principal, and she said that she'd ask someone to show you around tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Do I start school tomorrow? Mom, we just got here!" 

"I know, honey. But that isn't an excuse for not going to school?" She patted my back. "Come on, it'll be fun. You'll get lots of new friends." She smiled at me and walked out of the kitchen.

"Both you and I know that it's all lies! I'll be forever alone!", I shouted after her, but she didn't listen.

* the next day* 

"Wakey wakey, sunshine!" Mom pulled away the curtains which made me dazzled by the sunlight. Why, God? Why?

"Leave me alone to die", I murmured and buried my head among the cushions. I really didn't feel for going to school. Not today, not tomorrow. Never ever!

"Stop whining and get out of bed, Julie Victoria Bennett!"

Ugh, parents... 

"Okey okey, I'm coming..." I pulled away the duvet and sat up. It was way too early in the morning to get up for my taste, but having the mom I had... I had no god damn choice.

"Good. I'll go down and make you some breakfast, and then I'll take you to school. Now go get yourself ready."

"Okey", I sighed. I hated early mornings, I hated my new school (and I hadn't even seen it yet) and I hated Doncaster!

I got out of bed and was on my way to the closet, but right before I opened it I remembered that I hadn't been packing up my things yesterday like I should have.

Stupid Jules.

I opened one of the boxes, which my mom had written "clothes" on, and pulled up a black pair of skinny jeans, a knitted sweater and some underwear. A pretty simple outfit, but it worked. I didn't want to look like a bitch the very first day of school.

But it wasn't like someone would think that I was even the slightest bit cool? When I walked in the corridor it was like I had a big sign which said "nerd" over my head, blinking like a neon sign at a hotel. 

After getting dressed, I brushed my hair, packed my bag and got down the stairs. Mommy had made me a cup of tea, a glass of juice and a sandwich. Maybe she thought that the food would make me feel better, but I could tell, it didn't work.

"Don't forget to take your medicine, honey", she said and gave me my pills. Yes, I had started to take pills so I'd feel less depressed. They didn't really work, but my mom and the doctors thought they would. But they obviously didn't know anything about having depression.

We got into the car, and my mom started the engine. I just wanted to run back into the house, but there was no escape. 

"Are you excited?"

"Not at all...", I murmured. And this time I wasn't lying to her. To be honest, I was actually scared to visit my new school. I didn't want to see it all happen all over again. I've had enough. No more bullies, no more joking around, no more screaming, no more crying...

I shivered just by thinking about what happened at my old school. 

"So, here it is. Your new school...", my mom said happily. "Do you want me to walk you in and talk to the teachers?"

"Mom! That became embarrassing after second grade!"

"I was just kidding, Jules. Have a great day and call me when the school is over so I can pick you up!"

"Okey. Bye." I slammed the door and started walking to the big doors on the front side of the school. There was so many kids here already, and many of them were staring at me. Obviously because they hadn't seen me before, but it felt a bit awkward. 

Okey, really awkward. It was the first day of school, and it hadn't even started yet, but I was definitely going to die.
