(Jamie's POV)
Last night was okay actually I stayed with Michael a little longer we went to the fish and chip shop and got some chips, that's all I had that night. Mother couldn't be bothered to cook, Charlie was out with his new 'bit' and Father got in at ten o'clock.
I woke up this morning knowing that it'll be another terrible day at school. Pulling myself out of bed with a huff, I pull on the clothes that I laid out on my dresser last night.
I walk out of my room only to he pushed in to the staircase by my lovely brother Charlie.
"Watch where you're going, dick head." Charlie greeted me. I do love my family, who am I kidding I hate my family.
I sigh and walk down the long stairs, I don't bother to get something for breakfast.
I begin my long journey to school, well it's not that long it just makes my legs kill by the time I get there. I take myself up the long alley way, which means I'm practically at school.
"Jamie!" Someone called, when I walked through the gates entering this hell hole!
"Y'alright?" Michael said flinging his arm around me. I nod looking around me to see if anyone is watching what Michael was doing. I don't want him to get picked on, because of me... It would be different if they were picking on me.
"Um, yes, I'm good thanks." I say taking his arm of my shoulder, he looks at me and cocks an eyebrow. "Yourself?" I ask trying to make the mood a little lighter.
"I'm good, I was wondering if you wanted to come out with me and a couple of friends tonight?" Michael asked. Friends? I new he had friends but, what if they hate me? That is the only thing I'm scared about when I meet people, what if I make a really bad first impression.
"I'd love to but, what if they hate me?" I ask, this is where my low self-esteem shows. I want to meet them, but if they hate me that will be terribly awkward.
"Well, if they do but I know they won't, it's there lose not to have you as a friend." He shrugged, pulling his tiny bag over his back.
"Um, well when do I meet them?" I ask, seems like a stupid question but I'm a bit of a control freak I need to know when everything happens, when, where, and what time.
"Tonight, we usually all go to the shelter, none of there families like me." He shrugged, I wonder why they don't like him? What did Michael do? Or did they just not take to Michael like their children did?
"I guess that would be okay, it's better than staying at home!" I smiled, we walked to our first class. Michael wasn't in my first class, he didn't take Sociology.
I walked up the stairs and was greeted to an angry Jesse. I walk past her not making eye contact, I can feel her staring at me.
"Don't ignore me." I heard Jesse growl from behind me. I carried on walking, I picked up the pace. I heard her footsteps coming up behind me. I pushed the door to me first class open, and run to my seat.
Luckily Jesse isn't in the class, but who knows she'll probably be waiting for me at break.
The whole way through my first lesson I have questions about Michael roaming through my mind. Questions that I really need to be answered, like I said I'm a control freak... If I don't know the answer to something, I start to freak out.
Why doesn't his friends families like him?
What are his friends like?
Do they smoke like him?
If they do how am I gonna fit in?
His friends have girlfriends, Mike and I aren't going to fit in, are we?
"Class dismissed." The teacher called, I looked down at my book that laid on the table, I've done nothing, at all!
I shoved my book into my bag hoping that my teacher won't ask for it, I can't face the rant he'll give me. I've already got to take insults, maybe even physical violence of Jesse.
"Ms. Chambers." The teacher called me by my second name. I hated that my name is JAMIE.
"Yes, Mr.Waters." I answered him politely. He held his hand out as if to say hand me your book. I huffed and pulled it out of my bag and handed it to him.
"Nothing?" He looked down at my book surprised. I looked at the floor, a little ashamed of the quantity of my work.
"I'm sorry." I apologised. I remember him telling one of the other students that he is going to ring his mother, but he only did it once. What if he does it to me?
"I'll be ringing your mother." He said pushing his glasses up to the top of his nose.
Oh no, no, no.
She is going to kill me, like slaughter me.
"Please, that won't be necessary." I assured him. "I'll do it tonight, I'll bring it in first thing tomorrow, just please don't call my mother." I begged, he sighed.
"Ms.Chambers, if you fail to do so I will ring your mother." He nodded.
"Thank-you, it won't happen again." I said, I looked over to the door to see Michael standing there. No Jesse, no Jacob. Only Michael. Maybe I can trust him, well not completely but to be there for me?
I step out of the classroom, and Michael is standing against the wall. He gives me a bright smile, once he looks up from the floor.
"How was class?" He said walking by my side down the dull hallway. I looked around the hallway to see if Jesse was around, she wasn't. That makes a change, she is usually everywhere.
"It was, boring." I state simply, and truthfully. "What about yours?" I ask returning the question.
"Boring, I got a detention but I got out of it because of my boyish charm." He winked, I shook my head and laughed a little.
We carried on the hallway until we reached the exit to the outside, there was only a field and a lot of benches outside. It was quite boring actually, all of the years were separated not intentionally, it was just natural, it's always been that way.
"Hey Michael." A girl giggled. A pang of jealousy came over me, I don't know why! I don't like him, I don't think I do, I doubt I do!
She had blonde hair, with it dip dyed at the bottom blue. Her eyes were covered in black, eye shadow, mascara and a whole lot of eye liner. Her eyebrows were drawn on, half way up her forehead and her foundation was orange.
Can you tell I'm jealous?
Is it noticeable?
"Hi." He said bluntly. I felt like bursting out with laughter once I saw her face. Her face dropped from a stupid smirk, to a frown.
"Well." She shook her head walking off.
The girl was the sort of girl all guys go for. She was slim and curvy, she wasn't that ugly at all. My jealousy, was coming through. Quite a bit.
"Why didn't you talk to her?" I winked, he shook his head at me and shoved me to the side playfully. "Ow." I frowned, in a playful matter. We both smiled.
"So, you coming tonight, yeah?" Michael asked, I nodded.
I'm scared about meeting Michaels friends, what if they're all like Michael? What if they all smoke and I don't fit in? Michael told me all three of them have girlfriends, what if the three girls hate me. I won't fit in will I?
"Tell me about them." I blurt out.
"Okay, last start with Ellie, Dan's girlfriend... She has long brown hair, and green eyes. She is all into photography, I guess she is a bit of a book worm. Dan is really protective of her, if anyone dared do anything to hurt her, Dan, he'll kill you. Overall, Ellie is lovely, and she'll get along with you well!" He said without a breath. I like the sound of Ellie, and Dan. They seem really nice, they seem like people I could get along with.
"Anna, she is with Ben. They do everything together, they do nothing without each other. They are completely loved up, I think they've only had one argument and they've been going out for years. You could walk into the room and they wouldn't even notice you walk in because they're so hooked up in each other's convocations." He explained, I think I would get on with Ben and Anna because they wouldn't really notice me.
"They all sound lovely, who are the other too?" I ask Michael. His eyes darken. It's like he doesn't like the other two or something...
"I like Emilia but Aiden... I like him and everything he just is a bad influence... He is a bit of a bad boy, if you want to put it that way. He isn't the type of person you'd want to be around, he is judgemental, he is a bit like Jacob get on his bad side your done.." Michael trailed off. Now that, that is what I'm scared off.
"Oh." Is all I can string together.
"Please still come!" He begs, I nod. I've got to be confident, I want more friends and if they happen to be Michael's so be it.
"Good I'll meet you at the gates after school, I'm going home third session." He explains, I nod. He pulled me into a hug and walked off.
I wonder what tonight's gonna be like...
