Bleep bleep bleep

Once again my peaceful sleep is disturbed by the bleeping my alarm I try to open my eyes but I'm just so tired I slowly sit up and walk to my bathroom where I have a nice warm shower. Then I walk to my dressing table And apply like make up and straighten my hair. I want to look nice for my first day of school but I don't want to seem to dressy so I wear Black skinny jeans and a grey crop top, I wear dark grey Converse and slip on my black coat I skip breakfast because I'm not hungry anyway I'm too nervous. walked the short walk to the bus stop and sit down to close my eyelids only a couple of minutes past before I see the bus coming down stand up ready to go on the bus.
Bus journey sure we pull up outside school and I see a wide variety of different people I wonder who the popular people are and the geeks and Emos. I can tell who the cheerleaders are and the jocks, I identify pretty much every other American school stereotype I can think of as I step off the bus and make my way to the registration office. I've never been to a real school I've been home schooled since the age of six so this is a day of many firsts for me.
I walk into the registration office where are short fat lady with glasses gets me all the information I need to know my first day of school,
Then I begin walking down the first corridor I suddenly look up a notice that I'm seconds away from bashing into a tall dark haired boy. I quickly stop and apologise he smirks at me,

"No worries, I'm Andrew Garfield by the way"

Like the cat?
wait what he has a British accent? Too many things to process at once

"Uh...hi.. Sorry, I'm Emily, but most people call me Emma. I'm actually new here and kind of lost"

"no worries what does your schedule say, like what's your first lesson? "

I look down at the white sheet and read maths, ugh I hate maths. Then look back up his big brown eyes, waiting expectantly,

"Maths" i offer

I show him my schedule he smiles and says he has maths too and I'm relieved Ill know someone in my first class then we begin walking down the corridor in the opposite direction that I came from. He starts to tell me about the school but I'm too distracted by his thick British accent.
We arrive at maths and take our seats me next to him at the back mostly because he's the only person that I know but also because it's the only free seat left, The lesson begins and it's quite boring but Andrew and I talk quietly about ourselves and I occasionally sneak glances at Him when he's not looking,

His thick brown hair is kinda scruffy and cute, he has sharp cheek bones shaping his face and big brown eyes , he's actually very handsome but I didn't notice it before in the corridor. he catches me staring at him and raises a  thick eyebrow. I blush and look down at the sheet in front of me luckily my blonde hair falls so he can't see my face.
Then he does something that really surprises me and pulls a lock of blonde hair behind my ear and tucks it there. His hand is soft and warm I look up at him and smile, a little shocked but I contain it.

"Much better" he mutters under his breath, but loud enough so I can hear.The lesson seems to drag on for what seems like forever and at the end the teacher calls me and Andrew to the front,

I see you two seem to know each other and as Emma you have only just joined us and missed out a lot of the work from earlier on in the year Andrew can tutor you for the first few weeks to get you on track.

The teacher left leaving me and Andrew alone in the classroom
"you honestly don't have to do that by the way I know it must be really hard to keep up as it is, um... Well sorry that sounded bad, i... I don't mean that you're stupid or anything in fact you're probably really smart I don't know"
I immediately regreted saying anything but he seemed amused at that and chuckled,

"What?" I questioned defensively

"Nothing" he smirked "your nice Em and different, I like you, I would like to tutor you, not because Mr Harrison asked me to because I like you and want to spend time with you"

I smiled

"What? " he said

"You just gave me a nickname" I said proudly

"I guess I did"
He laughed
"is that okay with you"
he bit him bottom lip and I replied

"as long as I get to give you one in return hmmm let me think, Garfy sounds good"

"No way! I gave. You a good one" he joked

"Garfy it is then" I smirked

"Fineeeee" he rolled his eyes

"Oh okay cool shall I give you my number then we can arrange a day to meet up?"
I was more confident now

"That sounds good and he handed me his phone, I tapped on my number and handed back to him then he lifted the phone and took a picture of me for the profile picture, I wasn't even prepared or anything he got me completely off guard,

"Heyy?" I pretended to be annoyed and we both laughed he showed me the picture and said "beautiful" then he gave my his number and took a selfie, I put A hand up to cover my face, because I thought he was taking a picture of me he just laughed at that
"Okay I've got to go now all do you want me to walk you to your next lesson" he said in a jokey patronising way that made me laugh

"I think I can manage thanks Garfy"
I started walking off smiling to myself.

the rest of the day went smoothly I had chemistry history physics and  PE lunchtime was alright I sat with Andrew in a couple of his friends and a girl called Eli who was really nice to me and said we should hang out sometime, at the end of the day I was clearing up getting things from my locker and as I walked out of school i saw Andrew stood outside his car, topless with a soccer ball casually under one arm. I gaped at his bare chest and defined abs, Jesus Christ he looked like a model. I clearly wasn't the only girl staring, the entire parking lot seemed to have their eyes on him.
I was about to get on the bus when a familiar voice called my name I looked back at him and he motions to his car and me, I think he's offering me a lift and I cant resist I walked over to him and he opened the car door,
"Lucky for you my soccer practice got cancelled so I can take you home if you like where do you live?"
I told him my address and he waved goodbye to some of his friends that made comments about me being a 'hottie' on the way out and one of them shouted 'way to go drew!' He just ignored them and apologised to me for his immature friends. The car journey was short and as I got out he waved goodbye as I was about to into my house I looked back at the car and he got my attention and pointed to his phone. I raised an eyebrow and then realised what he meant, he wanted me to text him I nodded back and mouthed later, then when inside.
My mum greeted me
"hi honey how was your day at school,good?"

I did a thumbs up
"Great, remember we've got visitors tonight I've laid a dress out on your bed but also have a shower and do you hair nicely, I'll be in the kitchen,"
I went upstairs and saw a really nice black dress on my bed with cutouts on the back, it was beautiful I jumped and put some make up on (a bit more than usual) I curled my hair and put on the dress and some black heels before putting in my diamond earrings and going downstairs,

" hi honey did you have a good day at school" it was my dad this time he was dressed up in a suit and tie.
"Yes thanks dad... " I was  about explain what I got up to but I was interrupted by the doorbell.
I quickly went to open the door to reveal an man and women smartly dressed and a little girl about nine years old and...ANDREW?!?
