Adopted by the ball family

Ch 5

Day one of school -

Today was my first day of actual high school since I was put in the orphanage, I was tutored by the sisters but only on simple thing like maths and English - I wish we had done art I used to love art.
One thing I remember about my child hood life was that I loved to draw.

I walked down stairs still getting my bearing because it was my first night so I forgot where I was i guess.
I walked into the kitchen to see that the boys were eating already and Nutella toast on the table.
"Mrs ball what's for breakfast" I asked
She smiled and pointed to the Nutella on toast,
'I heard it was your favourite spread so I made you some toast" she smiled and continued to eat her fruit salad.

Walking out the door I was hit with a wave of nerves and something else.

Flash back
"Shit shit shit shit, I hope she ok quick we need to get her to the emergence room Simon "

" ok today Connor you need to look after Alex ok she's never been to high school and it may be tough ok so help her out with the classes, help her find them and don't for get to take her to the student office for her timetable"
Mrs ball sounded nervous, more then I was in the end.

Arriving at the school gates, felt like a dream I've always wanted to go to high school, I hope it kind of like high school musical - without the music - I guess
Walking into the gate I got a couple or 'who's she?' And 'why is she with him?'
The am fact that people thought I was with Connor nearly made me laugh.
At student services the lady at the desk was so nice she knew nearly everyone's names and said good morning to them as they walked through to their class
"Hi Connor, what can I do for you?" She said but before he answered she turned to me "hello darling what's you name you must be new I've never met you before?" She questioned
You could see that connor was confused on what to say so I spoke up " my names Alex and I'm new, I came to get my timetable and um diary" "ahh" she spoke "you must be Alex ball. Sister ? Cousin? Or .." She travelled on and then turned to Connor he nervously said "cousin"

She gave me my time table, diary and locker number to find which luckily was right next to my first class so that meant that Connor just had to show me my second period which also was around the corner .
" ok Alex I'll meet you here at your locker to show you the caf. and your next two periods. Ok ?" I nodded and started to unpack my bag.
I'm so happy my books for each class was in a different folder- I mean my math text book and my notes book were in a folder then my religion stuff in another folder, but my art stuff I have like three different cases for and on top of that I have my pencil case too, it took me at least 10 minutes because once I had finished I the second bell had went and The teacher was about to shut the door - geez is this teacher nice or mean I though?
I quickly found a spare seat and sat down.

'"Ok maths I need to focus, remember math is not my strong point remember focus,listen and do the work"'

***
Ok maths seemed simple enough and no one knew I was there except when they read the roster

Ok English, ok this is either going to be a great teacher or the shittyest teacher ever.
Walking into the room the teach was smiling and let the students talk until the bell went, as people walked in she said hello by their names except for me of course. She called me over and asked " hey sweety what's you name you must be new" she said "yer, I um am, I'm um Alex s-s-ball. I just moved here with my um ah? Family" I faked a smile and sat at the back

"Now class we have a new student today" crap i though "her name is" " sorry I'm late miss I was held back talking to a teacher" he said loudly
"Ok well as I was saying her names Alex and she new. Alex did you want to come to the front of the class and tell something about yourself?"

" Um not really" I said quietly that only the people around me heard and laughed. I wasn't really sure what to say really- shit
"Um I'm not sure what to say?" I questions the teacher "any hobbies?" "Um I like music? And I um usedtoplaythedrums" I said really really quickly "sorry Alex what was that?" " I um play the drums"I said I lied and sat down
****
Omg that was the slowest class I've ever been in. I felt like every time she asked a question shed expect me to answer or the guy that came late to answer.

****
Period 3 and 4 went passed really fast. It was media and studio arts, now it's lunch, the whole recess was Connor showing me around the school.  But lunch now I could actually sit down and meet people I guess, although I ended up sitting with Connor.
" hey, Al I'll go get lunch stay here and save the table ok? " Connor spoke but with out an answer he left.

Flash back
"Al what ya doing " a little boy asked
"Drawing, a doggy, I love dogs.  I really want one' a little girl with piggy tales spoke

Ok, I DONT like this, these aren't like my normal premonitions, these felt real. And I do not like it.

"Here Alex, lunch, spaghetti and garlic bread, so you don't go kissing anyone" he laugh
" hey man, how were you holidays?" He looked at Connor then looked at me laughed then raised his eyebrows.
"Yew, gross, no... She's my um cousin" Connor responded I feel like there's something there when he says cousin like each time he says it he's about to cry but I doubt it " hmmm" as I nudge Connor, he stared at me kind confused, until a football hit him in the head "oh, right, sorry, brad-Alex, alex-brad"
I couldn't help but laugh at him - the fact that for him to realise he had to get hit with a football. Oh and here's the guy that hit him with the football.
" sorry man that was for brad cause he saw me but obviously it didn't work, hey" he winked gross man "I'm not going to get hit again ok" Connor spoke and laughed at me " Alex - Tristan, Tris - Alex. Hey brad where James?"
