*the next day*

Sam's POV

Woke up to my alarm at 10:00am. I smacked my hand on the alarm and forced myself out if bed. I collected a pair of dark blue jeans, a purple tank top and my black hoodie. I walked out of my bedroom and to the girls bathroom and had a shower to wake me up.

I had a half an hour shower to properly wake up. I got changed into my clean clothes, dried my hair and straightened it. I walked out the bathroom and down the hall to my bedroom. I put my towels and pj's in the washing basket and headed downstairs to the kitchen. I walked into to everyone listening to Mike and to find Harry, Faith and Rick with their hands in the air. Mike turned around when he heard my footsteps.

"Ah, there you are" Mike said.

"Yeah..um..here I am" I said kinda confused.

"Sam as you know the 6 weeks holidays are nearly over" he said, "so you will be transferring to St. Anne's high school as your old school is to far away".

"But why? It's not that far" I said.

"Sorry you have already been transferred" he said shrugging his shoulders and walking out the kitchen. I groaned and went to get some breakfast.

After breakfast I went into the living room to find Harry sitting on the sofa with Jeff.

"Hey Harry" I said walking up to him and sitting down next to him.

"Hey" he said looking up.

"So, Harry what year are you going into?" I said trying to start a conversation.

"Year 2" he said, "what about you?".

"Year 9" I answered.

"Your in Ricks year" he stated.

"Who's in my year?" said a voice from behind me.

"Me" I said turning around to see Rick walking towards me and Harry. He sat down on the sofa opposite us and looked straight at me.

"Maybe you will be in my form" he said smiling at me.

"Huh?" I said confused.

"Oh. In our school we have forms. They go S, T, A, N, E. It spells out St. Anne but there is only one N form as that would be stupid. The form S is the highest as it has the best grades and E the worst grades. There is only 5 forms as our school is pretty small and I'm in T" Rick said finishing his speech with a smile. I nodded taking the information in.

"I think Sam will be in S as she did that prank and that was clever" Harry stated.

"Oh...I don't know" I said knowing I won't be in S.

"Oh yeah, I forget. The reason I came in here is to tell you and Harry that me, Faith and you two are going to get our uniform half 11"he said standing up and looking at his watch and then saying, "which is now. Come on".

I stood up and helped Harry off the sofa. We walked to the entrance bit near the stairs to see Faith putting on her shoes and Mike standing by her messing with the keys.

"Oh your here. Come on let's go" he said when he saw us.

"One sec" I said running up stairs to get my shoes. I pushed my door open, picked up my black converse (yes I like converse. Sue me!) and hopped around the room trying to put them on. When I finally succeeded I ran back down stairs to find Rick helping Harry with his shoes. Cute.

When we were all ready we hopped into the mini bus. Faith sat in the passenger seat and me, Rick and Harry sat on the long seat at the back. While we were in the way me and Rick kept tickling and poking Harry in the sides to get to laugh. It took us about 15 minutes to get to the uniform shop. We walked in and I bet we looked like the weirdest group of people. Me and Rick holding Harry's hands so he doesn't run off and Faith in her running stuff. We headed over the St. Anne's uniform which was next to Harry's school uniform. Convenient. While Mike helped Harry and Rick looked himself, Faith helped me.

"Would you rather wear a skirt or trousers?" she asked.

"Trousers" I confirmed.

"Well out school is very slack with uniform so you can get a skinny jean version of the trousers" she said and started looking for some trousers for me. While she did that I grabbed a tie which was dark red and had two black strips going across it. I then picked up some white button down tops and went to the blazers. Rick was there looking as well. He smiled at me and then carried on. I looked at the blazer and it's a plain black design with the logo on the breast pocket. I picked up one of my size and looked inside. It was dark red and had loads of pockets. I liked it. I walked over to Mike and put all the stuff I had in the basket and gave him a smile. He smiled back and went back to helping Harry.

"Sam" Faith called me over. I walked over to here and saw her with two pairs of trousers in her hands. She held on pair against me and it looked a perfect size. She nodded and put them in my arms.

"Tell Mike I'm just gonna find a pair for myself" she said. I nodded and walked back to Mike. I told Mike and we waited for Faith. I walked around the shop with Harry while we waited. When we got back she had found a pair of trousers so we gave everything to Mike and waited outside. We waited for about five minutes. When he was done he came out with about 3 bags over his arm and imitated the walk the 'popular' girls do. Me, Rick and Faith burst out laughing at this. We walked back to the van laughing and we headed back home to the dumping ground. I guess I'm ready for school.
