•Chapter 17: School is aproaching

Sam's POV

I wake up to my alarm blaring at me. I hit it in annoyance at sit up. I look around at my nearly completed room and smiled. It's been a few weeks since I ranted at Carmen and Tee. I'm still waiting on the 'revenge' from Olivia though. Can't wait for that...

Anyway, I pull back my covers just as someone knocks my door.
"Come in" I shout. I hear the door creak and a few seconds later Gina appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Morning Sam" I smile in her direction, "I've just come to remind you about the trip for school clothes this morning". I groan and Gina laughs at me.
"I'll be down in a bit" I said to her as she retreats down the stairs.

I been back at the dumping ground for a while and haven't done any school work as I did more than needs in London but next week I have to go back to school. Yay...

Anyway, I get up and head over to my clothes and pick out a pair of black jeans, a jumper that days, 'If your reading this, then it was pointless'. I get changed and sort out my hair. I grab a pair of converse and go downstairs with them in my hands.

Half way down I meet up with Harry and head downstairs with him holding my hand. I walk into the kitchen to see everyone eating with depressed faces.
"What's wrong with you lot?" I ask as I pick up Harry and place him on a stool.

"What do you think? We have school in 4 days" Tyler said before laying his head on his arms on the table.
"Oh stop being dramatic" Mike said as he walked past and slapped on the shoulder, "to make you feel better how about we go bowling after uniform shopping".

Everyone's mood changed after that statement.
I smiled before something occurred to me, "wait, is everyone coming? Why?".
"Because we could afford the uniform at the beginning of the year so we are going now". I nodded and started eating the cereal had put in front of me as I was talking.

While we were eating me and Harry were talking about the adventures him and Jeff go on. He has done some amazing things with Jeff, "I wish I was there".
"You can come next time" Harry said as Mike picked up our bowls. I smiled in his direction.

"Come on troops. To the mini bus" Mike said at the door. Tyler saluted as he passed him which led to everyone else doing the same. I was slipping on my shoes and told Mike I will just a moment.

I was tying my shoes when I heard footsteps.
"I'm coming. Calm down" I shouted to the footsteps.
"I'm wasn't coming to get you" a voice said. I looked up and there was Rick.
"Oh. Sorry. Thought you were Mike or Gina" I said avoiding his eyes. I haven't really talked to him since I ranted to Carmen and Tee.

Even though he didn't know about the conversation I still feel like someone does and he somehow knows how I feel.

"It's OK.  I just came to get Mikes keys. He forgot them" he said getting the house keys from the counter. I smiled at Mike's silliness. Rick was about to leave when he turned to me and asked, "If I can, may I ask if I've done something that offended you?".

"No....why?" I respond confused. He smiled in relief and said, "It's just that we haven't talked much since you told me about Nathan and Scott's  letters".
"Oh...Sorry if you thought I was avoiding you. I was just busy getting my room done. I've been back a while and still haven't finished". (And that you girlfriend is always here-I wanted to add but didn't)

"Well if you need help, I don't mind helping" he offered as I stood up and walked towards him. We both were standing in the doorway looking at each other,  "I'd like that".

Before anything else happened a sharp sound of the minibus's horn filled the air. We both laughed and walked out together to the minibus where Mike had a fake scowl on his face. As I sat down Tee caught my eye and wiggled her eyebrows while I rolled my eyes at her.

We were in the uniform shop and I think the owner was shocked when we all walked through the door. To be honest we would be too if you saw two adults and eleven children/teens walk through the door.

"Ok Gina us going to take everyone who needs uniform for the primary school while I take the St. Anne's one's" Mike explained we all split to the designated places. I was looking along the railings when I thought: Trousers or skirts?

I know I have trousers at the house so I started to look at the skirts. Some were like really short so I walk past them but then something caught my eye. A semi-pleated skirt which rested a little over a half way down my thighs. I picked one up from the hanger and had a look at it. I was simple and wasn't very revealing like some girls at school as I remember. I pick two up and some white shirts and socks as they are always disappearing. I remember finding my blazer and tie a few days ago and they both are in good condition and still fit so I didn't need to buy any of them.

I head over to Mike and he gives me money to buy the clothes and asked for the change as he was busy yelling at Tyler for the change. I laugh at him and buy my school clothes.

After I finished I stand outside leaning against the minibus absorbed in my thoughts when I felt someone stand next to me. I look to my left and see Rick next to me texting. I sneak a look and he's texting Olivia and saying that he and her will meet up at dinner tomorrow at school.

I forgot she goes my school. Another reason why I can't wait to go back...
