Mia's Story (Nathan Sykes Fanfic)

First Day

Mia's POV

I woke up to the shrill ringing of my alarm clock. I switched it off before getting ready quickly. I've been dreading the re-opening of school since school will mean people and the truth is i don't look forward to meeting people.

I really hate the first day of school because that would mean meeting friends and catching up with whatever has happened during the holidays. Well for me, I obviously didn't go for a holiday. I just spent my whole 'holidays' doing nothing at home.

I walked to school slowly dreading to face the boring and long day.

Nathan's POV

I walked into my new school and the first person I laid my eyes upon was a petite girl with big eyes. She looks flustered and out of place in her simple appearance.

She walks away hurriedly after checking her watch briefly. She looks frightened eventhough she evidently was not a new student like me.

I snapped out of my thoughts and focused on surveying the school and finding my own classroom. I briskly walked around and finally found my classroom. I sighed in pure relief when I managed to find the classroom in time.

As I entered, I felt everyone's gaze on me as I tried to find a seat. I flushed instantly from head to toe and I started to feel more nervous when I could not spot an empty seat. I started feeling awkward and tried to ignore everyone's gazes on me.

After what felt like an eternity later, I managed to spot a seat in the corner. I practically ran towards it and plopped onto the seat. Someone tapped on my shoulder just as I was trying to get comfortable in the small chair.

I snapped my head towards the person and saw a guy smiling at me and giving me a thumbs up. I forced a smile and gave him a small wave.

Before I embarassed myself any further, the bell rang signalling the start of the lesson. I was praying with all my heart that the teacher would be nice.

Mia's POV

I was frightened and nervous as I entered the school. I was pretty sure everyone was judging me as I was probably looking out of place not wearing 'branded' clothes.

The school that my mum insisted on sending me to was a private school. Most of the students came from well-to-do families. As a result, the students look down on any of us who are not as rich. Which includes me.

They usually treat us 'normally' infront of us but behind our backs, they gossip about us. My heart clenches as I remembered the painful incident.

It was my first year and months went by smoothly without incidents. I made a few friends and we had a cliche going on and I was happy as I finally had people I can turn to when I'm feeling unhappy.

We were having lunch together as per normal when the others decided to go to the washroom to 'wash up'. I decided not to go with them as I had not finished my lunch yet.

After I finished it I decided to go to the washroom to meet them. As i neared the washroom, I heard their voices.

"Girls, did you hear? Mia's mum works as a cleaner!" Sophie told her friends excitedly as they started to crowd around Sophie.

"Oh my God, you can't be serious." "Eww..that's so disgusting," replied the others.

Tears were streaming down my face. One after another non-stop. A mixture of feelings overwhelmed me as they continued gossiping about me relentlessly.

Shock..Dissapointment..Sadness...Disbelief..Horror..

I was trying to register and comprehend everything as I stood still infront of the washroom.

I didn't even realise it when the three of them came out of the washroom. They were shocked to see me there. Especially to see me in such a state.

I sprinted off away from them before they could say anything to me. I ignored them and their fake apologies for the rest of the day.

I snapped back to reality and tried to put the painful incident away.

From then onwards, I couldn't trust anyone in the school again. I felt that once was enough. That is why up till now, more than a year after that incident, I still don't have any friends. As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy.

Even now, i still hear people gossiping about me. Eventhough it hurts deep down inside, at least its not as much as before.

I started to feel bored and out of place in the hallway and since class was starting soon, I hurried to the classroom and found a seat in the corner.

A few minutes later, an unfamiliar guy entered the classroom. He must be new, I thought to myself. He looked so awkward as everyone started staring at him. Well for the girls, they were literally drooling at him.

He had brown hair with a cute little side fringe. He had a small button nose, big eyes and thick eyebrows or should i say monobrow. He was medium built and average height.

He was quite good looking and he looked pretty rich from his clothes and appearance so I guess he will be friends with the 'popular and jerk' cliche.

After awhile, he quickly hurried to a seat in the corner and just as I thought, one of the jerks gave him a smile and a thumbs up. He did the same just much more awkwardly. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself silently at his awkwardness.

The bell rang and the teacher entered. I groaned mentally when I realised it was Ms Ellie, she is one of the bitchiest teacher ever.

Nathan's POV

I heard a couple of groans as the teacher entered. I was confused but I remained silent, not wanting to ruin the first impression.

My hopes were ruined as the teacher, Ms Ellie, spotted me in the corner. She literally forced me to introduce myself even after multiple protests from me.

I stood up to 'introduce' myself after a curse or two.*oops*

"Erm..I'm Nathan erm but u can erm call me Nath"I said quickly I could before sitting back down. My heart rate began picking up when she continued staring at me.

"And where are you from Nathan?"asked Ms Ellie, obviously noticing my accent.

I honestly felt like slapping her as I stood back up "Erm I'm from Gloucester" I replied to her.

I fiddled nervously with my fingers as I waited for her to finally get on with the lesson.

She finally got on with the lesson and My heartrate began to slow down and I focused on the lesson.

Fortunately I managed to get through the other lessons without any awkward moments. A few of the guys even invited me to sit with them during lunch.

Mia's POV

The day went by normally. At home, I quickly got on with my chores hurriedly.

After I had finally finished the chores, I laid on the couch and grabbed the remote flipping through the channels.

I was so engrossed in the movie I was watching that I almost didn't hear the jingling of the keys from the door, my mum.

I got up and went to the door to greet her as per normal. I was shocked to see what was at the door along with my mum.
