I'm His Juliet

A new start

Chloe's Pov

--------------------------------------------------

"Mum, are we there yet?" I groan as I look out at the never ending hills of the British country side. The most exciting thing I've seen for the past few hours is a field of sheep. Just green grass and a lot of sheep.

"Not long now, honey! Oh you must be so excited! Just think of all the new friends you will meet!" She exclaims excitedly. My mother can find the good in any situation, even one as horrible as this.

"I was happy with my old friends..." I grumble to myself as I flatten out my new school skirt.

"What was that honey?" Mum asks, looking over at me.

"Nothing!" Geez, 5 hours in a car with your mother can really take it's toll on you, I'm in desperate need of a cold can of Fanta and a bathroom break.

I grab the leaflet of my new home for the next two years and re-read it for the tenth time since I've got into the car.

'Lexington Academy, one of Britain's oldest and honorary boarding school for young gentlemen and ladies. We offer the highest education as possible to our students with an outstanding selection of teaching which makes our school one of the top placing schools in the United Kingdom. Our facilities include suitable dorms divided by age group, top class classrooms and a range of available sporting facilities such as three hockey pitches, two football fields, a rugby pitch, numerous tennis courts, a swimming pool equipped with diving boards and a vast country side for equestrian related hobbies.'

Hm. I'm going to be surrounded by snobs.

I sigh for the millionth time today and begin to fiddle with my tie. At least the uniforms nice. The leaflet says that we only have to follow the colour code and wear the schools tie as our uniform which is something I've never heard of before this school. The theme is black, white and red but I'm not too worried about my outfit today as I'm not doing anything risky with my plain white shirt, black skirt with the schools red tie. The only thing I've really added was the black sweater I'm wearing.

"Now honey, you need to promise me that you'll call as often as you can and remember to be nice!" Mum says yet again to me.

"Haha okay mum, I'll remember " I giggle at her worrying.

"Look! There it is, your new home!" She squeals, pointing at the huge castle like structure that is looming in the distance.

As we get closer to my new school, it reminds me of Hogwarts and Buckingham Palace's love child. It's impressive to say the least.

After ten minutes we pull up to the building behind a couple other cars that are leaving off my new fellow pupils. Ugh.

As soon as all my suitcases are out, mum engulfs me in a spine cracking hug.

"Ow mum! Your squeezing me to death here!"

"Oh honey, I'm gonna miss you so much." She says with tears in her eyes.

"I'll miss you too mum. Love you."

"I love you too, honey. " she replies, while wiping her eyes. "Well, I best be off, it's a long drive back!"

I watch her as she speeds off and as soon as she is out of sight I grab my stuff and get ready for a new chapter in my life. I turn and follow the other pupils into the large entrance of Lexington Academy.
