Confusion

Chapter Four

I woke at half six in the morning feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead.

Who am I kidding I was shitting myself.

I walked into the bathroom and had a shower, washing my hair and body and blow drying my hair after I got out.

I threw on a black bra and some black knickers, then I put on some pale blue skinny jeans with a black baggy tee shirt with the sleeves rolled up at the edges. With my black hoodie over the top and black converse.

Sitting down at my mirror I applied some foundation, putting powders over the top and doing my eye pencil and mascara, adding some nude lipstick and putting my hair up into a bun on the top of my head.

I grabbed my rucksack and looked at myself in the mirror. Not too bad.

It was now quarter to eight, so I made my way downstairs to find Richard in the kitchen.

"Hello love, you're looking very good for your first day" he complimented, look up at me from his telegraph and smiling.

"Thanks Richard, what time are we leaving?" I asked him. He was driving me to college today, it was about ten minutes away in the car.

"Half past eight, you've got plenty of time sweetheart" he answered.

I decided to made myself some toast and started to read a book that I had bought on my shopping trip.

Half eight came quickly and I followed Richard across the courtyard to the range rover, hopping in the passenger side and soon we were on our way to college.

I held my phone tightly in my lap and watched the trees and buildings whiz past as we followed the roads to get to Edisfield College.

When we pulled up at the college there were groups of people getting out of cars and waving as the walked off to the gates. I felt like I was at my first day of primary school or something.

"Bye Richard, wish me luck" I leaned over and gave him a hug.

"Good luck chuck, you'll be absolutely fine" he reassured me, smiling as I climbed out of the 4x4 and slammed the door shut.

I took in a jagged breath and closed my eyes before opening them and walking casually over to the gates.

As soon as I got to the other side, I found myself in a tarmacced area between different blocks of the college. It didn't start until half nine and it was only nine now so I stood in the corner and looked around at all the different groups of people,trying to work out who to associate with and who to steer clear of.

There was a group of girls standing fairly close, who were all dressed in pastel pinks, blues and greens. They were wearing bright makeup and had their hair curled and down, their conversations explored only the topics of the latest issue of COSMOPOLITAN and what happened last night on TOWIE. Okay I was going to steer clear of them.

The next group I spotted was a group of lads, who were either ginger or chubby, they all wore gaming t shirts and they were talking about minecraft. They didn't seem too bad, but I'd rather not be best buds with them,if you know what I mean.

Then, as I was glancing across the space accommodating all of the teenagers, the most gorgeous back of a head I had ever seen caught my eye. He was tall, and slim, wearing black skinny jeans sagging a little, with a studded belt. He has on a black leather jacket and black leather shoes. I couldn't see what top he had on, but his hair was greaser style and he took my breath away. He was leaning against a brick wall leaning his head on his raised arm.

I must have been staring at him for a while because I saw one of his mates say something to him and nod in my direction. Then, he turned around. I looked away in embarrassment and then looked back to see him smiling at me slyly. He had black sunglasses on and a cigarette in his mouth. He looked a little like Alex Turner actually when I think about it.
