I walk out of her office and into my first period, it's English, one of my worst subjects, or it was in my old school, I wonder how it'll go here.
I try to find the room 2.24;
"I think that means Second Floor room 24" I say to myself and me not looking where I was going I bump into a lad and fall to the ground with a THUMP.
"You're... perfect." I whisper
"Why thanks. I'm Jacob; you must be the new girl... Scarlet right?" I blush and he offers his hand down to help me up.
"I guess I'm the only new girl huh, do I know you?" I look at his hand and frown.
"Yup, you should do we met when I handed you your timetable, what's wrong? It's only a hand." He laughs
"I know I was just thinking that the floor is comfier." I giggle and take his hand, Jacob pulls me up.
"So, where you off to then? You seemed lost." He smiles at me and comes closer to look at my timetable.
"I have English first, but I don't understand what all these numbers mean." I smile a half smile at him and shrug my shoulders.
He laughs "The '2.' means Second Floor, the '1.' means First Floor and the..." I cut him off
"The '0.' means Ground Floor," I giggle
"Yup, that's right, we have 6. Floors altogether you know, that's why the school is so big." We laugh. "Well c'mon we have English together, the teacher is really nice, since you're new you will be able to sit anywhere you want. And since I'm the only new person you've met you can sit next to me... I mean if you want." We both laugh
"I think that's very nice of you Jacob, I'd love to sit next to you," I blush.

"Jacob where have you been!" the teacher scowls.
"Sorry Miss Harper, I was showing Scarlet where to go, I saw her on the corridor and she seemed lost." Jacob said, the teacher raised her eyebrows so Jacob turned to me and invited me into the classroom.
"'Ello." I say shyly, the whole class starts wooing at Jacob because he brought me into the class and I had to sit next to him. It was mainly the boys who were wooing, the girls were simply jealous.
"Good morning Scarlet." Miss Harper said to me, I look at her and nod, then slouch back into my seat, she gives me a stern look I glare at her back then raise my eyebrows at her to say what-you-lookin'-at? She then turns her attention to the smartboard and writes stuff about William Shakespeare.
"Psst!" I heard from the girl diagonally to me, I look at her and she hands me a piece of paper, I grab hold of it and read it, it read:
Hello Scarlet
My name is Storm, but my friends call me Stormie. I was thinking that you're a pretty cool gal, stepping up to a teacher like that. =) (= Wanna hook up at lunch today? B.T.W I think Jacob likes you, he won't stop staring at you.
As soon as I read the last part I look at Jacob and he quickly turns to face the front. I giggle and shake my head, I see Angel walking by the room he told me to look at the board. I giggle more because he was telling me what to do.
"Is there something funny, Miss Walker?" Miss Harper said to me, I look at her.
"For a matter of fact there is something" Everyone in the class looks at me then the teacher and they all start to 'oo' at her, as if to say you have just been ripped by an eleven year old girl.
"Miss Walker, outside now!" Miss Harper booms, the Headmistress was walking by at the time and heard all the noise, so she walked inside and asked what it is all about. Miss Harper explained that I had said something is funny. The head tells Miss Harper that she will have to keep her calm, and that my old school wasn't like this. It was different; we were allowed to do anything we wanted to do.
