It felt like we'd been walking for years, how big is this school!?
After what felt like an eternity the receptionist finally opened the door to a Geography class room.
"Here we go sweetie, F22, your class room" the receptionist said, and left before I had time to thank her.
I walked into the room avoiding eye contact with my new form,
"Your Skye?" The teacher said grouchily, I nodded shyly,
"Good, I'm Mr. Gordon, I'll be your teacher for the rest of the time your at this school, please go choose somewhere to sit" Mr. Gordon said before turning back to his computer.
Great, now I HAVE to make eye contact with people, I slowly looked up at my class who were all staring at me grumpily.
I slowly walked towards the back of the room, eyeing up the empty seats and choosing the most friendly looking person to sit next to,
"Skye" I heard a familiar voice whisper,
I span round to see Dominic sat with a group of boys, there was a spare seat next to Dominic,
"Can I sit?" I asked awkwardly,
"That's generally what I was getting at when I said your name" Dominic laughed, I felt stupid considering he basically stated the obvious.
Once I'd sat down Mr. Gordon started to talk,
"Right class, assembly has been canceled today so you can talk QUIETLY amongst yourself" Mr Gordon spoke, emphasising the 'Quietly'.
Everyone turned round into there groups, two boys in front turned round,
"Hey" the boy directly in front of me smiled, I smiled back,
"Guys, this is Skye, she's new" Dominic introduced, the two boys in front and one boy next to Dominic all smiled at me,
"Hey" I waved awkwardly, wow I'm being so awkward today,
"I'm Tomas, but you can call me Tom" one boy said, he had green eyes and black 'swept' hair,
"I'm Andy" the boy who said hey earlier smiled, he had blonde hair, and brown eyes,
"I'm Sam" the boy hiding round the corner from Dominic said, he had brown hair, and hazel eyes.
"I'm guessing you know Dom?" Tom smiled, I looked at him confused, who's Dom? Should I know him?
"Skye, I'm Dom" Dominic whispered, "Dom is short for Dominic"
I looked around and the boys were all looking at me strangely,
"Sorry, I uh, I didn't know you could shorten Dominic" I say, I can feel my cheeks heating up from embarrassment.
I got to know the boys really well in the next half hour, Tom suddenly asked the worst possible question to ask me,
"Hey Skye, what jobs do your parents do?"
I sit there, unsure on how to reply,
"I uh, I don't have a mum" I say,
"What, everyone has a mum!" Sam speaks up, I feel a lump in my throat appear,
"She died of cancer when I was 2" I trembled, I could feel tears building up in my eyes.
"I'm really sorry Skye, we didn't know" Dom comforted, wrapping his arm around my neck.
That was the point I wanted to break down on the floor and spill the whole story on my dad, tell them how he ruined my life, how he's drunk everyday and the way he gets money is by stealing it, he abuses me drunk or sober, and he makes my life a misery.
