I grabbed my bag and slammed the car door shut. Guess what? We moved again... Haha it's getting to be a bit of a joke by now because we move nearly every 2 years so l know this won't be permanent. The most we ever spent in one place was for three years. I must admit my mam had be fooled that we were staying there but one Monday when l came home from school l saw a moving truck and my mam standing in the garden smiling her head off. She ran up to me and gave me a huge hug and screamed in my ear were moving.
She practically deafened me and i'm not kidding. I still think there's some wrong with my ears. I'm being melodramatic but when everyone talks it seems to me that there mouth is moving but nothing comes out!!!!!
**********************************
I pushed open the door and stepped inside the school. For some reason my forehead is really sweaty and not to mention my hands are shaking.
I should be used to this sort of thing because like l said we move nearly all the time but every time l walk into a new school l always get nervous.
I eyed the the school and it's surroundings like it was some new adventure please don't ask me why i'm just.....weird.
I don't even know where l am or were i'm supposed to go it's just so frustrating that l think i'm going to explode and trust me it wouldn't be pretty if l exploded, in fact it would be quite sickening.
I eventually decided to sit down on the stairs. I spend ages trying to find my way to the school office but it seems to be no where around. Usually school offices are located at the front entrance of the school but this school had to go and be all different. What did they do to the school office? Make it disappear so people can't find it.
Shouldn't there be a teacher or student to show me around anyway?. I mean....
"You need some help".
Yes you read my mind. I turned to see a small girl who kinda looked like a hippy to me just saying.
"Yea thanks". I replied smoothly if l do say so myself.
I stood up and started to walk beside her.
"I'm Amy by the way". She said as she put out her hand for me to shake it.
I shook her hand and told her that my name is Courtney.
She lead me to the school office which apparently is at the back of the school. Since when do they have offices at the back of the school? What is this, some sort of new thing were school's are the opposite way around?.
***********************************
So it's lunch now and i'm sitting down with Amy and her friends. They practically don't know i'm here. My classes are ok and the woman at the office gave me a map of the school. When l asked her why don't you have the office at the front of the school she just started laughing. I raised my eyebrows and backed away from her as quickly as l could. Something tells me if l stayed she would of been laughing forever. I don't know why but this school is starting to freak me out. I shook my head and took a chunk out of my sandwich.
"What did you say you're name was again?".
I turned to my right to see one of Amy's friends, l can't remember her name though.
"Courtney".
I turned my head away from her and looked out the window.
I was about to ask her what her name was but then l saw a strange looking boy.
I tapped the girl who was next to me and l asked her who he was.
She giggled before replying.
"His name is Jordan Hale".
"WOW l exclaimed he is ugly". He must of heard me because immediately he was starting straight into my eyes. The look he gave me sent shivers to my spine and really and l mean really freaked me out.
Suddenly everyone at the table were in stitches laughing.
"What?". I asked confused but that must have been extra funny because for the rest of the lunch everyone at our table wouldn't shut up laughing.
This school and the people are weirder than l thought and when l was dumping my leftovers from lunch l realised Jordan was starting at me. He started licking his lips like crazy, it's like he thought l was food. Fucking creep! Man he's weirder than my dog. You're probably thinking what but trust me my dog is really creepy because one time l went to feed him and he wouldn't let me any where near his bowl, l tried to push him away but then he rolled on his back and started snorting like a pig. I stood there for like 20 minutes trying to make him move but he didn't budge so l gave up and sat down. I dozed off for like 2 seconds and l woke up to find him lying on my head sniffing my hair. It took me forever to get the smell of dog out of my hair.
I actually think my dog is normal compared to him and that doesn't happen a lot.
I followed Amy to our next class. I have my own map and time table but it's just easier to follow her every where, it's just too much effort to take out my time table and look at the map and find the floor and room number. I know what you're all probably thinking that i'm a lazy ass but it's true so i'm not going to say any different.
Apparently our next class is chemistry.
"So what's up with this Jordan guy?"
I couldn't help myself from asking.
"What about him?" she shrugged.
"I dunno he seems....
"He's a creep". She took the words right out of my mouth but when l started talking l started to defend him, what was l thinking?.
"Come on Amy he's not that bad".
She frowned at me and had a devious look in her eyes.
"Do you like him?" she exclaimed.
My mouth opened but no words seemed to come out.
Finally some words came out.
"Are you kidding me never in a million years would l go out with out with that fucking Jordan creep OK".
"Ok calm down people are staring".
I looked around the chemistry classroom to find that all eyes were on me great what a fantastic way for people to get to notice me on my first day. I realised l was standing up and sat down slowly. I slid down in my seat and kept my eyes on the floor. Can this day get any worse?
