Amelia's P.O.V

"Today's the day" I tell myself as I get driven up the motorway, the wind blowing through my loose curls and taking them back so I can actually see. I was going up to london. I only lived in south yorkshire (after moving from Brazil) in the city of Sheffield, it was the best times of my life spent there, starting my youtube channel, as well as just seeing the tour de France as they cycled up my uncle's road (Jenking Rd) and past Meadow hall and towards ice Sheffield for the final stretch.

I sat in class twiddling my thumbs listing to Mr.Clement tell us about the Battle of Hastings. You may think everyone learnt about it in year seven at least but oh no we have to go over all the details as our boring school has no other curriculums left. As the bell signalled for Form time (Its only 15 minutes before break to chat to a teacher do quizzes ect... The class had at least three people from every year girls and boys) I grabbed my Nikon 1 AW1 out of my school bag and trailed out of the class room heading up the end flight of stairs towards the English corridor to my form room. I entered the room where my teacher Miss.Holtby let out a cheerful "Hello Amelia did you have a nice week so far" being the new girl is hard especially leaving all my other friends behind in brazil, that's probably one of the things I miss the most, carnival. It used to be every weekend the city came alive, I was one of the main dancers, as well as that I miss the costumes, the giant feathered head dress the short glitter bikini syle bra and the cute little skirts, with that I could pull every boy. I stood there as I came out of my day dream realising I didn't answer the question, I let out a grumble and answered "you wish." I shuffled over to a four table desk with a boy called Ross Smith sat there and a Daniel Bradshaw sat next to him immediately pushing their chairs out so I couldn't get past, as per usual, I just crawled under the table to my seat in form next to my best friend Katie Eden who was there messing with bitstrips on her phone sending me and everyone else on her avatar list a photo.

"Hey Amelia" she announced still not taking her eyes of the screen, until Miss.Holtby raised her voice,

"Katie you know no phones in form, can you put that away please?"

"Yes sorry miss" she replied with a scowl placed upon her face.

Until she realised the camera in my hand,

"Cool" she stated snatching the camera from my grip,

"Hey" I said gently pushing her jokingly,

"What's this for?" Her face lighting up,

"Well I was thinking maybe, would you like to shoot a video with me doing maybe some tumbling, dancing, gymnastics?" I replied shyly and more quieter.

"So you record videos I never knew and you like gymnastics or tumbling" with a smile creeping on her face until once again interrupted by a boys voice, I instantly recognised it, it was Ross snigering.

"What's so funny?" I stated,

"You, gymnastics, tumbling and dacing. You can't do that!"

"Fine you don't think so, meet me and Katie on the grass at break at the back of the field I don't want to draw any attention, you can bring some friends to help you with the defeat!" I announced, a little more confident this time.

Katie's P.O.V

I gasped at the last words Amelia spoke, as she took the camera out of my clammy hands.

"Would you mind if I record the routine on my camera as I'm starting a youtube channel I can blur your face in you want?" She questioned calming down a little after the whole Ross situation,
