"Err yeah that would be really helpful actually" you said , a little too enthusiastically. "no problem !" He chimed with a huge smile on his face . He picked up his backpack and swung it over his shoulder. He gestured towards the building and started walking , you followed him. "I'm peter ..... ah...... is this your first day?" He mumbled while looking at his feet and scratching the back of his head. "No I've been going here for years I'm just super well behaved" you said sarcastically. He looked confused "yes it's my first day" you giggled and peter realised you were joking "oh" he muttered and gave a very fake chuckle . Well done y/n, you scared him off by being such a cynical twat. "Oh I'm y/n by the way" you very timidly said, hoping to recover the conversation.

"That's a really nice name!" peter exclaimed. "Thanks?" You weren't sure if he meant it or if he was being polite. "What grade are you in?" You asked, praying he wouldn't reveal that he was a teacher or something . "10" he answered quickly . "You?" "Same" its nice he was the same age as you, maybe you would have some classes together . Your heart fluttered at the thought of sitting next to him for 2 hours a day. "so uh... I'm guessing you're British, right?" Nice one , Sherlock . "Yeah! English." You stated very matter of factly. Most Americans didn't know that Britain was actually made up of 4 very different countries , with very different accents . "Oh cool ! Like are you from...." *don't say London don't say London* "london?" Grrrrr. Right , calm down y/n . Don't shout at him. " err no , I'm from the midlands... well it's called the East Midlands but I'm in like .... you know ... the middle bit." "Ok" He clearly had no idea what you were talking about . You were gonna have to show him a map .

He stopped abruptly and turned towards you "what?" You asked , wondering if you'd offended him . "It's there" he said , nodding over your shoulder. "What is?" You were very confused . " the principals office!" He laughed "isn't that where you wanted to go ?" His laugh was fucking cute. "OH , YEAH UMMM ,THANK YOU SO MUCH!" You accidentally shouted at him . "It's cool y/n , see you around maybe?" Definitely. You thought. "Uh yeah , probably!" You replied , trying to play it cool . "Ok ... bye then " he turned and walked back the way you came, didn't he say he was going this way?.

You jumped as the bell rang right behind you . "SHIT!!" You ran into the principals waiting area, hoping you wouldn't be marked late on your first day.

After a brief introduction from the principal, you were given your class schedule and a map and told to rush to homeroom . Luckily it was in the same building as the office.

looking at the map terrified you. This place was huge , and the four classes you had today were spread around the whole campus. Good job you liked walking .

You eventually managed to find the right classroom , and the teacher noticed you looking through the small window in the door. "Come in" she said encouragingly . You opened the door then closed it behind you, and stood in front of it awkwardly, awaiting further instruction. "Well hello there ! You must be y/n !?" The whole class was staring at you , You fiddled with the bottom of your sweatshirt nervously "um.. yeah" you mumbled , suddenly terrified of speaking to anybody , or drawing any attention to yourself . 

"its lovely to meet you y/n. I'm miss Aziz" she said , and you looked up ..... well ... down at her, she was tiny . Maybe 4'11 ? And she had the most gorgeous silky headscarf on, pink three quarter length trousers and gold aviator style glasses. She looked very young - mid twenties at the most. " oh hi... so you're like ... my form tutor?" You had no idea what a form tutor was called in America, and you didn't think she did too judging by her answer "yes, I suppose." She replied. "Take a seat anywhere you like y/n!" She said cheerfully. The only free seat was right at the back of the classroom , you walked towards it and noticed the girl from the courtyard, the badass looking one, and sat in that seat next to her .

You sat there in silence for about 2 minutes before she piped up and said "I saw you staring at me earlier" oh no , you really don't do confrontation. " umm.. I wasn't staring in a bad way ,like, I just think your hair's cool " you turned to look at her and admired the dark freckles that dotted her gorgeous brown skin. And now you were close enough to see that she didn't have mascara on, you really wanted to tell her how a nice voluminous lash would improve her look, but now wasn't the time. "Thanks" she spat the response to the comment about her hair. "Yeah the braids are a really nice colour and I like ... like the gold bits on the....." you trailed off because she was staring at you. "Yeah I know" she said sassily and turned her whole body away from you . "Okkayyy" you muttered to your self and tried to focus back on miss Aziz .
