This is my new story... dont know what to call it, or if il carry on with it tbh, let me know what you think =]
"Get down here NOW young lady... or ill come up there myself!"
God chill out dad, sheesh. The taxi had only just pulled up outside the house i felt like screaming at him.
Can you tell he wanted to get rid of me? Pffft he couldn't wait.
Didn't really blame him though to be totally honest. He'd been waiting to get rid of me ever since I got expelled.
Did he really expect me to be miss Sweet Angel after my mom died?! As if!
My names Emma. I turned 17 a couple months ago, and it was the worst day of my life- the day my mom died.
I don't remember much. I went into total auto-pilot after that.
I remember that it was raining, our power even went out for a bit and my mom was rushing back from work like a crazy person so she didn't miss me before I went out. Zack was taking me out for a meal; I'd made this big fuss about going out with Zack that night instead of being with my parents. I should've listened to them.
I guess she didn't see the car that had broken down on the side of the road. Or the tree that she swerved into. They didn't even let me see her in the hospital after.
I trudged downstairs slowly, dragging it out sooo long, just to annoy him.
"EMMA!! Come on! You're going to be late!" He screamed up the stairs at me.
His words slurred a bit, but I could still make them out unfortunately and they sent a shiver down my spine.
I hated it when he'd been drinking and when he was mad at me. This was always. Now he'd finally had enough of me and was shipping me off to boarding school... great.
I walked straight past him with only a "bye" and got into the taxi. I wasn't good at goodbyes and I wasn't planning on making an effort on Him. Or Hitler, as me and Becca called him.
Becca was my best mate; she was the only one I trusted to make sure that Zack didn't get distracted by any of the slutty cheerleaders in school.
Zack and me had only been dating for a few months, but I felt more myself when I was with him than anyone else, even Becca; who had been there after I lost my mom.
As the taxi pulled up outside the boarding school, I realised I knew nothing about this place.
I refused to listen to dad whenever he went on about it, and I wouldn't listen to anyone else either.
It was massive. More like a bloody palace than a school. One of the teachers was stood by the door, waiting for me I guess.
As I walked up the front steps, the teacher smiled at me, a total fake smile though and mine mirrored hers exactly.
"Welcome to Ashford Academy, Miss Thompson; your fathers told us quite a bit about you" I grimaced; dad never tells people anything nice about me. Only bad things.
"It's not all true. Trust me on that, Miss...?" I reassured her quickly. Hoping that she beloved me.
It kinda worked too. "I didn't think so Miss Thompson, my name is Miss Willows, and I am the head teacher here at Ashford Academy. I've asked one of our star pupils to show you around the campus, and you'll be sharing a room as well. It's just through those doors. Have a nice stay Emma."
I didn't bother answering. I dragged my 4 suitcases and prayed that they would send the other 3 soon, (yes 7 suitcases in total. I like my stuff! And I have a lotta clothes ok? Im a girl get over it) as I silently prayed this I walked into one of the pupils
"Look where you're going much?" I snapped at the guy I'd just walked into without even looking at him.
Damn lad, he made me drop my phone.
He bent down to pick it up for me, which was nice and all I suppose, seeing as id just been rude to him.
"Im Adam. You must be Emma, right?"
He handed me my phone carefully and picked up the suitcase I'd put on the floor. I looked up at him, god I hate being so short! He looked at least 6'7, I was a measly 5'9. Sheesh. I hope everyone isn't this tall here...
I lost my train of thought as I looked into his eyes. I was totally lost in them. They were dark blue-ish, nearly black.
They reminded me of Zack's dark chocolate eyes. But for some reason, compared to Adam, Zack's eyes were colourless and dull. As if. I loved Zack's eyes. They were just amazing.
"Umm... thanks," I said taking the suitcase from him quickly,trying to hide the fact i was blushing "Do you know where this 'star pupil' is? She's meant to meet me here, Im sharing a room with her, right?"
Adam looked suddenly very uncomfortable. I couldn't think why.
"Im the star pupil. There weren't any dorms left, so you're stuck with me for a few weeks, till graduation when there'll be more rooms available. Im really sorry 'bout this though" and truthfully, he looked really sorry. I didn't want to make it any worse by refusing.
It would work, as long as Zack didn't find out i guess (Zack was very protective of me when we were at the same school)
"It's okay, I don't mind; could you show me the room first though? These bags are kinda heavy and I don't want to drag them through the whole school" I smiled at him as his expression of awkwardness turned into relief.
"Sure, c'mon I'll show you, and don't worry; I won't bring any of my mates round- they can never really keep their hands to themselves" He shifted his weight from each foot, uncomfortable again.
"Doesn't matter. Is this a good school then?" I changed the subject with carefully, and he looked grateful as he smiled at me.
I died and went to heaven when he smiled.
It was amazing. It felt like time had stopped as he carried on chatting about his favourite lessons, music, and everything else we talked about on the way to our dorm.
