I drowned out the noise of the head teachers attempt of motivation for the new term and sat back in my chair looking forward to when his 'little talk' was over. Dom sat next to me looking genuinely bored, his blonde hair behind his ears. I looked at my phone, it was nearly time for the end of assembly and I hadn't seen the blue eyed boy anywhere in the hall as much as my eyes had searched for him "...let's make this term better than ever!" Mr hill said probably meaning to sound enthusiastic but honestly sounding forceful. He must have hated being here as much as we did. As he carried on his bullshit speech for 'just a bit longer' Dom put his hand on my thigh as I looked up at him smiling adorably, his greyish blue eyes gleaming. The bell rang. Time for tutor, great. "Leave the hall row by row please I want this term to be much better than the last" Mr Hill called over all of the pupils sighs of relief. " for fucks sake we get it" Dom muttered under his breath sounding irritated. It was the same every year.

Our row stood up waiting to leave, I slung my bag onto my shoulder and Dom lead me out from the chaos by my hand. "I'll see you later beautiful" Dom whispered kissing me on the cheek and heading in the other direction to his form. Once Dom had gone I started to walk down the corridor to my class, it wasn't far from the assembly hall. I reached the door to 10S3 and pushed against it with my shoulder. Once in the room I sat down at my place twiddling my pen around in my slim fingers. Five minutes later Wanting something more interesting to do than play with a pen I picked up my book and started to read half heartedly, not taking any notice of what it was saying. While I tried to read summer break catching up talks were going on around me and paper aeroplanes were being threw around the class while the teacher, Mrs Wright took the register and shouted out each name over the chaos.

Before Mrs Wright could get to my name the door to the class pushed open and everyone fell silent. All around me people whispered and giggled to their friends. It was him, the beautiful blue eyed boy. He stood in the doorway, his long brown hair was ruffled as if he had been rushing and his bag was half sliding off of his shoulder. "Urm... Sowwy I'm late Mrs" he mumbled. I stared at his sharp jaw and cleft chin, he was unusual but somehow mesmerising to look at. "Take a seat" Mrs Wright snapped rolling her eyes....bitch. I turned my head over my shoulder examining all the pairs of people sitting at their tables, there was no room in the class but the empty seat beside me. The boy walked from the doorway to my table and sat down at the empty seat next to me.
"Hi" he greeted me nervously.
"Hi" I replied.
"Guess I'll be sitting by you from now on" he beamed at me.
"Yeh" I said a smile creeping up my face "I'm Nirvana nice to meet you".
"You're kidding, Nirvana is your weal name is it like a nickname or something?" He queried.
"No" i replied amused "it's my real name"
"That's so cool" he replied "I'm Matt by the way, Matt Bellamy and Nirvana are my favouwite band"
"Oh my gosh me too!" I replied rather shocked, i though I was the only one. "Guess i'm lucky my parents were fans " I added giggling.
"Yeh that's the best name I've heard it's...beautiful."
"Thanks" I replied feeling the heat in my cheeks "fancy listening to them?" I asked Matt who was twiddling with his thumbs beside me.
"Won't we get in twouble?" Matt asked as i giggled at how he pronounced his r's... So cute.
"Oh ignore her" I reassured him giving him a headphone "she's a bitch".
He laughed shyly and took a headphone placing it in his ear as I hit the play button on sliver...

Mom and dad went to a show,
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please, no

Grandma take me home
Wanna be alone

I whispered along to the lyrics as Matt nodded his head in time until my headphone was yanked out of my ear by Mrs Wright. Brilliant.
"Confiscation along with a detention... For the both of you" she hissed as she took my headphones away to her drawer and wrote our detention slips. I suddenly felt a pang of guilt, It was Matts first day at Teignmouth community college  and I had already gotten him a detention within the first hour. " I'm so sorry Matt" I whispered near his ear.
"It's ok" he replied "it'll be fun and it'll give us some time to hang out... If you'd like that?"
"Yeh I'd like that" I replied feeling delighted that he wanted to spend some time with me after I had got him into trouble.

Matt Bellamy. I thought to myself. This detention would be different. the bell rang interrupting my thoughts and we were dismissed to head to first period.
