Private School Life.

1.

"Mom, don't do this to me." I say as she puts my bags in the trunk.
"We have to, sweetie." she answers without looking at me.
I turn to my dad, "Why? What did I do?"
He shakes his head, "Nothing dear, but we want you to have the best future available for you and this is the way to make that happen."
I sigh, "But seriously, a private school on the other side of the country? What about my friends? Why didn't anyone ask me what I wanted?"
My dad kisses my temple, "It's for the best, you'll make new friends. And you finally get to see your cousin James again!"
I frown, "I have a cousin James?"
Mom turns to me and smiles, "Yes, I remember you got along very well when you were little! He's one year older than you are. He's such a nice young man now."
I shrug, "Good to know."

I get in the car and give my house one last look.
"See you when I have vacation, I guess." you mumble, sighing.
It's a long, long drive and I get extremely bored so I grab my iPod and put on a play list.
I play a few games on that thing and sigh a few times.
"Are we there yet?" I annoyingly ask three times in 5 minutes.
Dad turns around with a mad look, "Keep it quiet. And yes, we're actually almost there."
I roll my eyes, shut off my iPod and stare out the window.
"Woah this place looks amazing!" I state as I see the school.
It's huge, a little bit Hogwarts style but then not a castle, you get me.
I see one big building with a few side building thingies attached to the sides.
Probably where the students sleep, I guess.
"See, it's probably not that bad!" mom replies with a smile.
"Are there a lot of students on here?" I ask quietly.
"Oh no no, the system is a bit odd but they accept new people every three years. Because after three years, you graduate here." dad explains.
"But how is it possible that I'm accepted right now then? I mean, school already started like two months ago and you told me James just got accepted at the beginning of this year. I'm not really following this." I ask.
"Well, we have our connections with the principal and founder of this school. You're the only one who can enroll at this moment, that's why you had to make essay's for most of the subjects the last few months. So now you're in the same year as everyone else, first year. And at the same level. Get it?" dad explains the whole thing.
"I'm special." I joke.

After a few minutes, dad pulls over and we get out of the car.
We carry my bags to the building and I see the principal standing on the stairs.
"You must be [Y/N], welcome to Parker's Private School." the man says to me as he reaches out his hand to me.
I nod and shake his hand, "Nice to meet you sir..."
"Williams." he replies with a smile.
My parents also shake his hand and my dad immediately begins to chat with him.
Apparently they were roommates when they both went to this school.
Sir Williams took over the place when his father died.
He leads me and my parents to my room and I put my bags on the floor.
"You'll be staying here with Annabelle, your roommate." sir Williams tells me as I walk to my bed and look around.
"Thank you, sir." I say.
My parents follow sir Williams to his office to sign the last few papers and I get left alone on this room.
I start packing out my stuff and put everything in the empty wardrobe on my side.
I'm wondering how my roommate is, hope she's nice!

A few minutes later my parents get back and say their goodbyes to me.
My mom's holding her tears but I ensure her that I'll be fine here.
"Sir Williams will take you to James after their classes end, so he can show you around. Don't worry, he already knows you're here." mom tells me as she gives me a hug.
I smile, "Thanks, I'll be okay mom, don't cry!"
Dad gives me a kiss and mom waves at me a last time.

About half an hour later, I'm pretty much settled and the door opens.
A girl with dark wavy hair walks in and smiles, "Hey, you're [Y/N], right?"
I get up and nod, "Yup, that's me. Nice to meet you, Annabelle?"
She shakes my hand and nods, "Are you settled in already?"
"Yeah, I don't have that much stuff actually so yups." I mumble.
She smiles, "Hey, who's your tour-buddy? I heard sir Williams say that he had to inform your cousin that you were here! Who's your cousin?"
"Oh, James." I reply.
"James is your cousin? Seriously?" she says with wide eyes.
I nod, "Yeah why?"
She shrugs, "Oh nothing, he's just, you know, the hottest and most popular guy in this school."
I chuckle, "I wouldn't expect any different, ha ha!"
As soon as I end my sentence we hear a knock on the door.
Annabelle opens the door and blushes, "Hi James."
"Hey! Is my niece here?" he says with a smile as he looks behind Anabelle.
She steps away and I wave at him.
James walks towards me and gives me a big hug, "How're you doing little niece? It's been a while!"
"I'm good! Wow man you got tall!" I reply, chuckling.
James wiggles his eyebrows and takes a look at the clock, "We better get going or we won't be on time for dinner!"
He quickly winks at Annabelle and we head off for the little 'tour'.
