Another Run Away

Lets have it St. Andrews

Hey guys, Thanks for choosing to read my book! I should probably say that this book has some explicit content and if you feel uneasy reading stuff with swearing, suicide, sex and drugs then I don't think you would feel very comfortable in a few chapters. Enjoy! - T

"Just think about it, in one hour you are out of this house, FINALLY!" Amber yells at the top of her lungs helping me pack the last bag into the car.

"I wouldn't be too sure I could hate my new school, It could be too superficial. I've hear all about it, the parties, drugs, pregnancy's and yet they are still one of the highest achieving schools." I protested .

"Trin, you have been dreaming about  high school ever since you saw high school musical, only because of Troy Bolton but you will find a cute boy, I promise."

I hate to admit it but it was true I loved Zac Efron for many years - like up until last year- until my parents were genially concerned for the amount of 'G' rated fanfiction I read about him. I even went to see all of the  High school musical movies with my sister..

Now your probably wondering why my Dad and Mum aren't by my side crying and helping me pack while they tell me how good my boarding dorm is going to be and how much they will miss me.

Well honestly they probably wont even notice I'm gone and I couldn't be happier.

My Dad and I don't have the best relationship (to say the least)  and if he knew where I was heading for my two last years of high school he would never let me go. So I told my Dad last night that I am going on a camp but as always he is too drunk off his face to care.

 My older brother Luke signed all the legal papers so the school assumes he must be my legal guardian. As for my mother, she hasn't made an appearance in years.

We all walk down the stairs slowly with Luke holding my suit case off the ground so it doesn't make any noise, he looks at me a few times with a small smile as if to say 'everything is going to be alright over here, don't stress' I can only offer a half hearted smile in return.

We slowly shut the door and as soon as we hear the click of the lock we sprint to the car like mad people escaping an asylum and put the suitcase in the boot.

"Lets hit the road." Luke howls a little to loud for my liking and revs the engine.

Lets have it St Andrews.

——-

"So St. Andrews it is" Luke chirps as he drives away from Ambers middle school. "My sister the boarder, I like the sound of that that means I wont have to see your ugly face every morning!"

"Please" I scoff " You're just excited to see your little sister go to big kids school?" I reply sarcastically. Of course he is happy who's older brother/ dad figure wouldn't be?

 After 3 hours of listening to silver chair music and going through Mc Donald's drive throughs leave us on the main road right before my new life.

"Don't do drugs"

"I won't"

"Don't get alcohol poisoning"

"As if"

"Don't date bad people"

"People aren't bad Luke, everyone has a little good."

"Shut up." he groaned. "why are you always preaching."

Don't get pregnant" he says as we turn into St. Andrews.

"Did you just say that" I ask rhetorically.

"I'm serious I won't be held responsible for not having the talk with you. So here it goes... it all starts when a man and woman love each other very much and then—"

"Lalalalalalalala" I scream as loud as I can why I try to block my ears with the hand that isn't surrounded by Mc Donalds wrappers.

"No need to explain okay? I know what happens. EVERY seventeen year old knows."

"How long have you known may I ask little sis" he coughs

"Long enough" I whisper as I slam the car door behind me.

Finally that conversation was over and I headed over to the reception hall where all the room details were being kept.

"Oh you're the late child I'm guessing" the arrogance in her voice astounded me she looked 16 and thought she could judge me for being a week late to college.

"Yea my name is Trinity Potts I'm seventeen and I am in—"

"Yeah, yeah." she cut me off" room 16b Austin quarters, follow the signs and get out of my sight."

'She must be a great person to have as a friend' I mutter sarcastically to myself.

Luke helps carry my bags up two flights of stairs and to the furthest room on the right.

"All done kiddo" he grins patting me on the head. His face drops and that is when he tells me to be safe and leaves the dorm. A whole room shared by two people that don't even know each other. Wow.

*knock knock*

And the door slams open leaving me struggling for air. A man stands before me in a black uniform. He looks about 6'2 and his eyes are hidden behind glasses. I reach out for the baseball bat that Luke had given me just in case i don't want to do the frickle freckle.

"Oh sorry didn't realise this room was taken." He winks.

" Tell me why you are here or I'll hit you, I could, I have a Black belt."

"Feisty kitty aren't we, the name is Harley but call me whatever you want." he grins extending out his hand.

"What I want is to know why you are in my room?" I decline his hand and hold the bat closer to my chest.

"Look, okay- okay. Calm down this is my girlfriends dorm too." he slowly takes small steps before running out of the door.

What have I got myself into?
