HARRY'S POV

" Harry, you can sit next to Zoe. " Great a whole year next to this one, I've never actually spoke to her before only once. And I was drunk. I threw myself onto the chair next to her, she sat up politely and got on with her work. I don't even know why I'm in the higher classes, I hate maths. Zoe seemed to be quite good at it though, better than me. Her pencil whizzed through the work like a rocket, my pencil however stayed on the table half the time. I had never seen her in school before, which was weird because i know mostly our whole year. She had brown hair and brown eyes, quite pretty but not model pretty. She wasn't like Nicole. Nicole was what most people would call a slut, but to me she is perfect. nice eyes, nice butt, nice figure and she was also extremely nice. Very hot indeed. She sat the other side of the room, in my row but the other side of the room. I wish the teacher had put me by her, I would flirt with her until she loved me. But I'm stuck next to Zoe. The pretty geek. 

" Hey, I'm stuck can you help me? " I ask as if I'm interested in this work, I'm not. "Um, I think its.." She spoke and I blanked out, all i could think about was me and Nicole. Us, together, boyfriend and girlfriend. aah... "Are you even listening?" she asked me, while giving me the look of, 'why do I even bother?' I looked at her trying to be interested. "Yeah, yeah!" I guess she gave up on helping me and stopped talking. Well I doubt we will be friends. I think she knows I don't want to sit by her and she certainly doesn't want to sit by me. She caught me looking at Nicole. She seemed quite annoyed that i was looking at Nicole and not her. " Oh, I bet you want to sit over there? " Does she always sound annoyed whenever she speaks to me? But I would definantly sit next to her, I would do anything to talk to her, no I would do anything to have sex with her. That would be heaven. " No, " I lied through my teeth, I tried my hardest to smile to show i would much rather sit by her than Nicole. I would like to have a smart friend for once, all my other friends are dumb. They only know how to be cool and get laid and get girlfriends. The bell went and so did my hope for going out with Nicole, yet again. I walked to the canteen and sat on our table, the big one in the middle with the most seats. I have a lot of friends. "Hi Corey, i just had maths, it sucked at usual." He laughed, I sat down and sighed. " What?" Ryland asked. I looked at him but he just laughed at me. "It's just, this girl." I explained, I tried to hide it, but everyine heard. Everybody at the table sighed and laughed, even i did. Finn laughed the loudest though, he then paused to tell me something. "Dude, if I know alot about girls. Which I do. Is that you should never like one that much. Anyway who is it?" How could he say that, I mean I quite like Nicole. She's pretty and popular. Again I tried not to let that many people hear, "Nicole Sanders." Again they all heard me. The boys looked at me wide eyed, " You cannot do that, she is like .. well... Popular?" Corey blurted out to me. I disagree. "So what if shes popular, I'm popular." I said, whilst laughing, the boys soon followed. " She likes collage guys not us okay? " Finn explained, it wasn't fair. All the hot girls in our year all go out with guys older then them. Not any of us. 

That Night ~ Harrys' House

"FAIL? Again? Harry you swore you would put your head down this year!" My mum yelled whilst shoving last years test results in my face. "Mum, I will try this year. It's just ... " I faded out, thinking of excuses I could say to her. "It's what? Too much time out of school thats the problem!" She yelled as she slammed down the test results on the table. I turned away from her and looked to the wall. "It's not, I was in nearly everyday last year. And this year I'm going to try way harder!" I shouted at her, I hate looking at her when I'm yelling because her facial expressions make me laugh so much, I would end up pissing myself laughing in front of her and end up into more trouble. "You better had!" She exclaimed, she picked up the test results again. "If these don't improve by Christmas, consider yourself homeless. Because until you learn to listen and work then your homeless." She yelled while handing me the papers, I looked down. They are bad, F, F, F, and one C. No wonder she was mad, I stepped on the first step of my stairs and I heard her shout, "You better take your bag, because your studying!" I jumped down, got my bag and ran up the stairs to my room. 

What am I meant to do, I cant study!? I need some sort of mentor or tutor. But I dont want a teacher because they're boring. No, I need a friend. Zoe popped up into my head.

Next Day ~ Maths ~ Period Four

"Hi, You alright?" I asked Zoe, she smiled back and replied. "Yeah, you?" I shook my head, "No not really." She looked at me with a saddened face, "Whats wrong? " She sounded worried and I looked at her remembering last night. "My mum threatened to kick me out the house if my grades don't improve by Christmas. If they don't I'm going to be homeless." I thought back to the argument that me and mum had last night. I shivered. "It's okay, my mum doesn't live with me anymore." She said sounding very appologetic and sad. "Do you live with your dad?" I asked her, but she shook her head, "who do you live with" Who on earth could she live with I mean, if it wasn't her dad it would be her mum but thats not true? "I live in a foster family." She almost whispered as she said it. Whoa, I wonder what happened to her parents which made her end up in a foster family. "My mum and dad died in a car crash when I was five, it was horrible. I had no other family to go to so I got put into care. Then I got fostered by this really nice family, they had a daughter of their own. But she got bored and they needed someone to entertain her but they didn't want to have another child so they fostered me." She explained very clearly to me.

"How old is the girl now?" I asked, this girl sounds like a spoiled little cow. "She's in the same year as us." she replied. Who is it, I know no-one in our year with the last name of Evans? "It's Nicole."  she said rather shy as she looked down.
