Clemency's POV
Stepping out of the car the cruel Australian heat hit me as i made my way towards the main building. Keeping my head down, i tried to ignore the questioning glances from students as i quickly walked to the main office. It just felt so awkward here. Nervously stepping towards the desk, i waited for the recpetionist to finish typing. Looking up from her computer, a middle aged women smiled broadly at me, the smile slightly staggered as she realised she had never seen me before.
"Um.. I'm new and was wondering if i um.." Seriously, was that all i could make out?
"Oh!" She exclaimed, recognition sweeping across her face, clapping her hands together and scanning her desk infront, "You must be our new student from England! Clemency Smith?"
"Yep" I responded, suddenly feeling alot more comfortable in my surroundings, grasping a booklet she roughly handed to me.
"Just give me a moment as i call a student to show you around. Its only homeroom first so you'll have time, just take a seat as i call someone".
"Okay" I responded, sitting down on a large purple seat conveniently placed behind. Opening my booklet i scanned the pages, finding my time table. Spanish first on a Monday? Oh joy. It wasnt long before i was snapped out of my thoughts, my attention now on a tall blonde boy tapping his fingers on the desk, waiting to get the receptionists attention.
"Im here to show around the new student?" He started questioningly, running a hand through his thick hair.
"Oh yes Luke, she's right over there" she replied, pointing my directio nas he turned around to face me. Now both sets of eyes on me; i waved awkwardly, closing my booklet and sitting upstraight, "Now no goofing off, and be prepared to go to second lesson in an hour!"
"Sounds good", Luke started, glancing at me as i stood up to stand beside him, "Better start the tour now then".
"Sounds like a plan" I responded tossing my bag over my shoulder, Luke smirked as I followed him out into the corridor. Sounds like a plan? Ive been here for literally 5 minutes and boys here are already making me look like a complete retard, well wasnt that unexpected.
Stopping in the corridor, Luke turned to face me, his blue eyes twinkling. He has to have the best eyes ive ever seen.
"So you're British?" Luke smiled, signalling for me to hand him my timetable, nodding, i handed it to him.
"It would seem that way" I responded, lightly chuckling.
Luke looked up from my time table and smiled, "We have the majority of classes together!"
"Really?" I said, "Thats so cool!" Sounding a but more in enthusiastic than i had wanted.
"Yep" He said popping the 'p' and scanning the sheet of paper infront of him.
"So are you going to show me around or..?" I inquired, waiting.
"Oh yeah, sorry, how about i just show you around when we go to lessons? I have all classes with you except for Spanish and Art, i think my friend Michael's in your Spanish, so he can always show you were that is when we come to it? I mean, if thats okay with you..?" He said quite shyly.
"Thats fine with me" I responded cheerfully, watching Luke's face brighten up as i responded. "So, what should we do now?"
"Well we both have Music next, so how about we slowly just make our way to Music and we can chat a bit?"
"Sure, thanks again Luke"
"No problem, um.. sorry, i fogot to ask your name" He responded, nervously moving a hand through his hair.
"Clemency"
"Well, Clemency, Music is this way" Luke turned to the left and smiled at me. I smiled back and we walked side by side past endless classrooms. Im beginning to like this school.
