Chapter 11

Disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock or anything.

Author's note: 2 CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY! Hello again! I hope you enjoy and please do review, I'd be delighted! I wrote just over 2,000 words, just for you, to make up for the 600 words in the previous chapter I posted today!

11 year olds Sherlock and John knew that they only really had one high school that they could go to. Though they were able to move primary school when they were told that being boyfriends was 'wrong' it wouldn't be as easy a thing to do for this school. There was only one high school in their area, it was big and produced good results.

But Sherlock and John refused to go to that school and lie about who they were. They were going to walk in with their heads held high, proud to be loved by each other.

Sherlock and John weren't very nervous about it, but their parents were. Teenagers could be very nasty if they wanted to. They knew if their children were bullied then they would have to be taken away from school, but that would be a very difficult thing to do.

Sherlock and John dressed in their school uniform and met each other on the Holmes' driveway. Kathy and Julie would take them to school for their first week so the four children got into the car.

"Are you nervous?" Kathy asked.

"No. I have John." Sherlock answered.

"A little bit." John said, wringing his hands together.

"Don't worry, John. I'll be with you!" Sherlock promised and took a hold of one of John's hand, holding it tightly and comfortingly in his own.

As they approached the school the two first years peaked out of the window, watching all the tall children walking to school. This school was a lot bigger than their last one.

"Have a lovely day at school." Julie smiled at the four.

"If you have any people being mean, come and get us." Mycroft said.

John nodded but said "Don't worry. It'll be fine." He was reassuring himself and everyone else. Sherlock, John, Harry and Mycroft got out of the car and walked into school. John and Sherlock had their hands tightly entwined between them. Everyone was so tall!

They had lots of people instructing them as to where to go. They were meant to go to the main hall first, where they would be greeted by their tutors, teachers and head master.

They got a lot of stares from other students because they were holding hands but they simply ignored them. Sherlock and John loved holding hands. They would never let go for anyone else.

They entered the hall where many children sat and took a seat about half way to the front.

They kept their hands together and waited quietly as did the other nervous eleven year olds.

"Good morning!" A middle aged man with a cheerful smile stood at the podium.

"I'm your headmaster; my name is Mr Brighton, and welcome to your high school. I'm sure you will all fit in well and if you need any help never hesitate to ask for it. I see a bright bunch of students before my eyes and you all have a lot of potential. You will soon go off for your first lesson, which I hope you enjoy. You will always be in the same class group, so the people in that class will be in every class, so do try to get along as best you can!" Mr Brighton smiled and carried on talking about the school.

As Sherlock and John entered their first class they were greeted by a teacher that would also be their tutor. He taught maths and his name was Mr McDonald. He was Scottish, tall and rather friendly.
