I walked through the gates people were glancing then staring at me and I didn't know if it was because of the bruise shaped like a fist on my jaw or if it was because I was new, but I pretended to take no notice. I knew my siblings walked through the gates because I could hear Francesca and Jodie shouting at Matty for nearly breaking their brand new iPhone 7+'s that they took ages to save up for which obviously drew attention, but no one knew that I was their brother yet so I sighed with relief. I was kind of nervous and scared but happy too that I could get a fresh start and nobody knew of my past. I walked past some boys with Nike red laced shoes on near the school doors and I heard them whisper to each other "Look a new boy." And they started laughing I didn't know what they were going on about but I ignored them because I knew they were trouble and I didn't want to be involved with that for a change.

I had to go to Mr. Byrne's office first, I was the first one there, a lady with a bright orange face and pink lipstick on told me to just sit down and wait. It was quiet but it didn't take a while for that to change, a few of my gobby sisters came in it was kind of awkward since my step-dad punched me in the face. Finally, the rest of my siblings turned up and my two step-brothers Reese and Malcolm were giving me evil glares. You could tell we were a big family since there was no where to move in the room but when sir came out we moved inside to his office but there was well loads of room so there was space to move. Mr. Byrne went through the schools rules so I zoned out, I still couldn't get the fact off my mind that I punched my step-dad in the face but I came back to reality when Mr. Byrne started handing out time tables and locker keys, not all of us got locker keys though because of what year we were in, so Ross started complaining that he was going to have to drag his P.E kit around all day so me, Liam and James started laughing which caused us to all argue. After 5 minutes of Ross complaining Mr. Byrne sent us all to our lessons but he took me and Liam, since we were the most troublesome, to our classes luckily me and Liam were in the same year and class. Me and Liam had English first with Mr. Clarkson we just walked silently there Mr. Byrne didn't even speak to us so that was a bit awkward. Finally, we arrived at the door to the classroom.

"Mr. Clarkson, can you just pop outside for a minute?" asked Mr. Byrne with his head sticking through the door and me and Liam leaning backwards on the wall.

" Yeah sure, class read act 3 scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet please," told Mr. Clarkson to Mr. Byrne then his class. He came out and then closed the door of his classroom gently.

" Hello sir, this is Kyle and Liam they will be joining your class today."

"Well hello I am Mr. Clarkson looks like you have got me for English do you want to go in and sit together at that spare table at the back behind those two boys?" Mr. Clarkson suggested and pointed at the table and opened the door for us.

"Yeah, sure," Liam said lazily without any enthusiasm in his voice.

I walked in behind Liam everybody was staring at us I just glanced around at everybody they looked all right, decent enough. When I sat down with Liam I saw Mr. Byrne talking to Mr. Clarkson, he was obviously talking about us saying that we would probably disrupt his class which is right. The two boys in front of us turned around, they both had jet black hair and mud brown eyes you could tell one of them was good and one of them was bad by how much effort they put into getting dressed into their uniform but to be fair I don't make an effort too I don't see the point it's just school.

"Hi I'm Finn, this is Josh," Finn said with a smile

"Hi," Josh said after Finn

I and Liam just replied with a hi one after the other

"So are you two brothers or some at since you both started today?" Josh asked

"Yeah, unfortunately," I replied with a smirk on my face

"Shut it, Kyle!" Liam said with an angry tone

The door opened then slammed shut with Mr. Clarkson walking to his desk than sitting down.

"Stop talking now! I hope you have all read the first scene," asked Mr. Clarkson

The room fell silent which is a sign as no.

"Well since we have been reading this the past 2 weeks is anybody welcome to enlighten our new comers Liam and Kyle what has been going on in the play?"

Everyone just stared at us for a few seconds then this girl kept yapping on about what was happening so I just ignored her and went on my phone and Liam just sniggered quietly. Unfortunately, Mr. Clarkson noticed I wasn't listening so he asked me what the girl named Sambuca just said.

"How am I supposed to know?"

"Well, you were listening weren't you Kyle?"

"No, not really."

Everyone started to stare at me and no one dared to speak.

"And why weren't you listening?"

"Coz I was bored, alright?!" I said with an annoyed tone

Mr. Clarkson started walking over to my table while giving me the death stare. He lent over to get right in my face.

"Just because your new doesn't mean you can get away with things easily!" He whispered/shouted in my face

"I never said that and have you ever heard of personal space!" I said in an angry tone.

Everyone started giggling, he stood up straight and put his hand out.

"Now give me your phone as it will be confiscated for the rest of the day."

"As if I'd give it to you it's my phone, not yours."

Everyone gasped now not even a single person dared giggle

"Phone now!"

"My phone isn't for sale." I stared at him straight in the eyes I wasn't afraid of him.

"COOLER NOW AND I WILL BE TELLING MR BYRNE ABOUT YOUR BEHAVIOUR!!!"

"Whatever, I'm not bothered." Everyone started giggling again.

"Don't you dare get excluded again!" Liam whispered in my ear with an angry tone.

I got up grabbed my bag and kicked my chair over while I was walking out I kicked the bin as well sometimes I just get angry, and I don't' know why I don't know why I was being gobby to Mr. Clarkson either I wanted a fresh start but now everybody will know as the gobby teenage boy who lashes out at everyone.

I was in the cooler for the rest of the day Mr. Byrne came an hour after I was there he said it would be my first strike and that I would have lunch time detentions for a week so I just groaned at that and got pretty mad but I controlled myself.

Finally, it was the end of the day and I got to go home I walked home by myself but I was afraid to go home so I stayed at the wrecked up park near my house on the estate that I had to go home an hour after I was there.
