Reckless

"Hey!" a girl called from behind Alice.

"Oh hey" Alice smiled and hugged the girl. "This is Steph, she's the new girl, Steph, this is Sasha, she's in the dance program with me and in this homegroup too"

I smiled, "hi, nice to meet you"

"You too!" She said, she had a really friendly smile and bright teeth, which I assumed have been whitened. Either that, or she doesn't eat and just brushes them all the time.

After a while the whole home group came up to me and we're asking who I was and why I moved here. Some guy said that I should've just stayed where I was because this school is awful.

After a while our homegroup teacher showed up, Alice was right he was really young and good looking for a teacher.

"Hello there, you must be Steph, I'm Mr Anderson"

He called me over to his desk when we got inside and while he was signing some sheets for me I couldn't help but stare at his face...

okay stop it, this is weird.

"okay, that's everything signed, so do you have someone showing you around?" he looked up at me.

"Uh-uh y-yeah" I stuttered. Again. Oh no.

He raised his eyebrows at me, "okay, well you can take a seat, homegroup goes for half an hour."

"Come over here, Steph!" Alice said, patting the seat next to her, where 4 other girls were sitting including Sasha.

"Steph, this is Brooke and Kaitlin"

Kaitlin smiled at me, but Brooke didn't even look at me. "Good, to meet you, you'll love it here." Kaitlin said, still smiling. I thanked her, not bothering to notice Brooke's rudeness.

Homegroup was over soon and I made my way back to my locker to meet Liam.

"How was homegroup?" He said leaning on my locker.

I shrugged "t'was okay, I mean there's some nice girls, but some here are so bitchy" I didn't mean to sound quite so petty when I was referring to Brooke and Lucy.

Liam chuckled, "okay, well let's get you to class, uhmm...." He examined my timetable "okay so maths with Mr Anderson in d2, wow you're in luck, unless you don't like your homegroup teacher"

My eyes widened, no way was I upset about this.

Liam chuckled again, he had such an amazing smile.

No one from my home group was in my math class, unfortunately for me Alicia was. She kept making me feel uncomfortable even though I was sitting 4 rows a away from her. Whispering to her 'popular' friends.

After maths was over I didn't know what to do. I don't know where Alice is and I really don't want to be a loner on my first day.

I got out my snack and looked up from my locker, Alice. Phew.

"Aw great! Our lockers are next to each other!" She said.

I smiled.

"Kaitlin and Sasha have some softball thing on today, so we'll go find Brooke and sit down." She pulled my hand quickly and we made our way into the quad. My face fell when I saw Brooke sitting on the steps near the library, and we were walking right toward her.

"God, French was shit" Alice said to Brooke, sitting down, I stayed where I was "come on Steph, sit down, we don't bite" Alice joked.

I sat down awkwardly and Brooke looked at me. "Yeah, so was English" she said, keeping her eyes on me. Alice wasn't looking so she couldn't see how weird this was. I mouthed "what" at Brooke, she didn't say anything, but she looked away. Thank God.

What the hell is her problem?

After break was over we made our way to the lockers where I checked my timetable. I have English next "okay, English with..." Alice was looking at the timetable over my shoulder "..mrs heath and yo have Brooke in your class too!"

I felt my jaw drop as I looked over to where Brooke was standing near her locker. "Great" she said "hurry up Stephanie and get your shit"

Alice glared at her and got her books, I did the same.

I tried to give Alice a 'help me' glance, but she wasn't looking in my direction. She was looking over to Oscar, a boy in our home group.

"Well guys, I have to go" she said and ran after him.

I slowly shut my locker door and walked over to Brooke, she looked at my pink covered exercise book before rolling her eyes and walking off. I followed.

When we got to g4 most of the class were already inside, so we took a seat at the back. I was reluctant to sit next to Brooke, but she would probably tell Alice, and she's the only friend I have so I didn't want to lose her already.

The teacher walked in and she was young, like mr Anderson but she wasn't as nice as him. She was really strict and had her hair pulled back in the such a tight bun that her eyes were squinting.

"Right Year 10's, settle down now, I'm going to call the roll"

She started calling everyone's name, Brooke was first. She raised her hand without looking away from her laptop.

"Where's Brooke?" Said miss Heath "oh right, if everyone could say 'here' that would be much appreciated" but Brooke just rolled her eyes. This was going to be a long lesson.

"Stephanie?" Miss Heath called.

"Here" I said raising my hand.

"Oh, new student? Welcome!" She said, everyone turned round to look at me as my face reddened.

"Uh, thanks" I said.

"Hey, I'm Tyler" said the boy in front of me.

"Oh, hi" I said.

"So why'd you move this shithole"

"Just shut up, idiot" said Brooke.

Tyler pretended to look hurt, then grinned.

"Moody bitch,that one" he said pointing to Brooke "don't know why you're sitting with her, there's a spot right here" he patted on the seat next to him.

"Oh, I'm good" I said.

"Okay, well how's your first day? If you need to hear shit about anyone, come talk to me. I know everything about everyone. Except you of course.

I thought this was extremely weird, but I decided to be nosey.

"Okay then" I smiled "tell me about the seniors"

Brooke looked up from her laptop and stared at me.

Tyler looked at her and back at me and grinned.

"Who? The geeks, popular ones, burnouts? You need to be more specific"

"The worst ones" I said "the ones who are always in trouble"

"Well, there's the ones who are always suspended or in detention, that's usually That Zayn Malik and his best mate Thomas Ford. The worst however is Harry... Uh.. Styles"

My eyes widened "what about him?"

"Well, he's been suspended already 5 times this semester, and he has been so many fights, no one can count. He's always sleeping around with girls, and once he slept with a freshmen and got her kicked out of school."

Brooke turned back to her laptop and rolled her eyes "she was a slut anyway" she said "I mean, what the hell is she doing with older guys?"

Tyler laughed. "Oh, so dating a year 12 is different for you then?" He said.

Brooked glared "he's only 2 years older than me, not 5"

Tyler laughed again "she's going out with this senior called Louis, he's a dick to be honest"

"Yeah, so are you" Brooke said.

I didn't know what to think of all this. Was what he said about Harry true? It had to be. No, well I need to find out. I have to ask him.
