I had to move. I guess it was for the better but really, Australia? I mean come ON! I guess there's good looking dudes there though.
"oh and your starting school right away too" my mom said smiling.
"oh.... that's nice....not" I said sarcastically from the backseat of our car.
she drove by the school and right away I knew I wasn't going to fit in. I saw fancy cars and designer clothes. I wore stuff from hot topic and that's about it. speaking of which I need to dye my hair again. brown roots don't work with bleached hair.
"here we are" my mom said with a fake smile. I got out of the car and immediately went upstairs to my new room.
"UGH WHY IS IT PINK" I groaned. I grabbed my box of posters and some tape. I grabbed an Iron Maiden poster and hung it up where my bed was.
"oh I thought you would like it" my mom said walking by.
I rolled my eyes and continued hanging posters trying to cover the pastel walls. well this is a great start. ugh its late and I have jetlag.....sleepy time.
~next day~
"Tatum wake up or you'll be late" my mom shouted up the stairs. I groaned and looked at my clock. 7:16. Fuck, yeah I guess I need to get up if I'm going to make it on time. I threw on black skinny jeans, my Mz. Hyde tanktop and a Beanie.
"really you're wearing that?" my mom said disgusted.
"really you're marrying that?" I said referring to my soon to be step dad. she rolled her eyes and turned her back towards me. I grabbed my jacket and got in my beat up Jeep.
~at the school~
I walked in and immediately felt all eyes on me. A girl that looked like a prep looked at me funny, and I glared at her. She turned towards her friends and giggled.
"great another reject" someone sneered. I just sighed and kept walking.
I got to my first class late and I swear people thought I killed someone.
"please take a seat anywhere" the teacher said gesturing to the desks. I sat in the back and immediately someone asked me a question.
"why do you dress like that?" a girl with long brown hair asked me timidly.
"to make you ask questions" I said adding a small smile. she giggled quietly and kept talking.
"I'm Abbi" she said holding out the pen I asked for.
"Tatum" I said before being interrupted.
"Ms.Milliser. I understand that you are new and I understand that you dont know my rules. interruption will not be tolerated here" the teacher said sternly.
"oh shove off" I said loudly.
"stay after school" she said before continuing the lesson.
end of the day
My detention wasn't to bad. it's over now and I'm walking around the school. I heard music coming from the empty auditorium. The door was opened and I peeked in.
I never believed in love at first sight but dayum. I saw four boys just jamming. I knew the song. It was Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day. I didn't think they'd hear me singing along but they did.
"Take five guys" he said coming towards me. he was tall with blue and black messy hair. his eyebrow was peirced and I'm in love.
"hi....I'm Tatum" I said looking down.
"Michael. Are you foreign?" he said sounding interested. I nodded and smiled.
"BOYS WE GOT A FOREIGNER" he yelled as the other three came down.
"these guys are Luke, Calum, And Ashton" he said gesturing to each one. I nodded and smiled.
"so wait, why are you still here?" Luke asked.
"told a teacher to shove off" I giggled.
I think I found my group here.
so this is just a backstory for how Michael and Tatum met. I figured it would be useful.
