Drowing

Chapter 1

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* "Ugghhhhh!" I really really didn't want to school today! especially after what happened yesterday.

****

I was lining up in the canteen to get lunch when this new kid walked straight into me. To make matters worse all his curry and rice got all over my new top! He didn't even say sorry, he just kept walking. Jerk.

After about 5 minuets of debating the pros and cons of going to school, I got out of bed. It was the last day of school before summer. Last day of school. Last day of school. I chanted it over and over, after i got dressed and did my simple makeup I ran down stairs, grabbed an apple and some juice and shouted bye to mum and ran out the door. I noticed a moving truck parked outside Mr. Rogders house. It had been for sale since he died back in 2009. The place was a dump. Teenagers used it to do all kinds of stuff. Grafiti, smoking, drinking and everything else. I noticed a boy carring a box of stuff. He was a bit shorter than me, blond hair, white converse, plain polo. I recognised him. He was the boy from the canteen.

When I got to school, I was late because of the debating session I had with myself this morning about whether I should even go to school, but it was the last day and we were getting our summer test results back (the winning argument), I met up with Elsie and Liz and Joseph my best friends. Liz and Joseph are going out together and Elsie just broke up with her boyfriend of a month. And me, well I've never really dated... lame I know.

I checked my timetable to see what my first two classes were (yes even after a year I still don't know my timetable... don't judge me) "ughhhhhh!" Maths and German.... what horrible subjects to start off a Friday morning.

*ring* the bell signaled lunch. I was starving. today I brought lunch, I had a really nice pasta dish thing, a red apple, and a bottle of water. Even though I brought lunch I also had some money to spend on a chocolate bar and a cup of tea. I met up with Elsie, Liz and Joseph at our table at the back of the canteen. On the the way back to the table after I bought a Twix and a cup of tea. I walked past the boy who was moving next door to me. I looked up to get a proper look at him. He had blonde hair spiked up into a quiff, he was wearing a green tee and a pair of normal skinny jeans, he had white converse on and a black watch on his wrist. Then I look at his eyes... They were this amazing colour of blue, they were the darkest, deepest, most mysterious colour of blue at the same time they were such a light, happy colour. They reminded me of the sea. I must have stood there for a few seconds before I finally realised he was gone.

When I got home home from school I left my test results on the table for mum, 1 A, 1 C, and all the rest B's, mum should be proud of that. I walked to the fridge and got a yogurt and some water, then I walked up the stairs to my room. Once I got there I took out my phone which I left on my bed while I was at school seeing as we went allowed them anyway. I logged on to instagram and scrolled through my feed. After a few minutes the doorbell rang and there was a knock at the door. "HEATHER" mum called me... well more like shouted me to get that she was busy.

I logged out of instagram and went to the door where I was greeted by a middle aged woman with short blonde hair and a nude coloured coat on. "Here" she said "I think this is your mail? My names Maura, I just moved in across the road." She said in a very Irish accent. "Thank you!" I said "The post man is always mixing up the mail round here." I said smiling politely, "would you like to come in?"

"No I better not, I have to go into town to get some supplies," she said pointing to a car pulled up on the kerb. It was an old car but it was well kept. There were a lot of boxes in the boot, and in the front passenger seat was the boy from the canteen. "Umm.." I said awkwardly "would you like help with those boxes?" I offered pointing to the car's boot. "that would be wonderful!" She said in a high pitch Irish accent. "I was just going to drop Niall off at the house to do just that. Get in the car and I'll drop you both off!"

"No it's okay, I'll go change out of my school clothes and then I'll walk over. I'll be over in about 5 or 10 minutes."

"Alright then!"
