Not Your Average Boy

New Beginnings

(Picture of Liam for you ^^^) Most of this book is going to be in Liams POV, maybe sometimes in dereks. Sorry person reading this (this chapter is all about Liam getting settled and starting school so it's kinda boring) just so you know, I know it's bad but I spent a shit ton of time on this so please don't hate ;(

I sat in my room alone just thinking about what my new school would be like and if I would have friends or not, while my belongings sat in boxes. I flopped on my back onto my bed and sighed, I hoped this would be my restarting point. My mom came into my room and looked at me weird "put the remains of your stuff into the moving van and let's go". I picked up the remaining boxes and stacked them on each other, I picked up the boxes and walked down the hallway. I loaded them into the moving van and hopped in the backseat. Next thing I know we are driving away

The drive was long and boring, I didn't really mind because I was on my phone. Most of the drive all you could see was a dark forest, but then the sunrise came up and it was by far the most beautiful thing I've seen this year. Usually February sunrises were not this pretty.

We eventually get to the new house and the furniture is already there. I found my room and  said to myself "wow this is amazing!" . The walls were a dark blue mixed with a little green and it had fake dark wood floors and a window facing the ocean. I looked out my new window and the sunrise was slightly above the horizon, it was beautiful...

I was almost stuck in the sight when my mom barged into my room and said "Liam you start school tomorrow, so get sleep tonight" I replied " ok mom" and she left. I flopped onto my bed and said out loud "I'm starting tomorrow? So soon?! We just got here!". I wasn't going to say that to mom, she would surely say I was back talking and hit me or something. Later that day we had dinner at 9:00 and then I went to bed.

My dad came into my room at 7:45 am to wake me up " get your ass out of bed and get ready before you miss the bus" I groaned a small "okayyyy". I got up and threw on an oversized black hoodie and some oversized navy blue jeans. I saw the bright yellow bus pull in front of my house and I ran outside. About 3 minutes later we pulled up at my new school. "Bradley High" I read as I hopped out of the bus and went inside.

I looked at my schedule my mom had given me that was sent in the mail.
I looked at first period.
1st period: homeroom 2A.
I started looking around for class 2A and this girl came up to me. "hello there! I'm Sophie! You must be the new kid" she looked down at her paper she was holding then looked back up " you are Liam McKenna?" To that I replied
"Yep, that's me!"
"Ok hi Liam, nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you to Sophie"
"where is your class?"
"Um I'm at 2A"
"Oh! Me too, I'll walk you there"

Like she said she walked me to class and we sat down in desks next to each other. The teacher wasn't there so the class just chatted with me. They all overloaded me with questions like:
"Where did you come from?"
"What's your name?"
"Why did you move here?"
All that stuff, of course I answered them.

This one boy came up to me and he was just downright handsome, I mean with his pale grayish-blue eyes and his poofy brown hair, and those pale rose freckles on his oval face... "hi!" The strange boy said again, "I'm Derek" he held out his hand for a handshake. I broke out of my trance and I shook his hand and told him my name.

The rest of the day went by in a blur, mostly it was just me drooling over Derek and talking with Sophie.

I was laying in my bed that night and I realized that I totally have a crush on Derek. He had given me his number so I decided to text him.
Liam: hey Derek it's Liam from school
Derek: heyy lee!
Liam: don't call me lee >:(
Derek: L
Liam: dont.
Derek: E
Liam: Derek stap
Derek: E = LEE
Liam: >:((((
Derek: haha you're cute when your mad ;p
Liam: oh stap, sorry I gtg
Derek: kk see ya tomorrow lee! Goodnight
Liam: >:O
I fell asleep ten minutes later thinking about Derek.

The next day was my second day of school and I woke up before my dad came into my room. "7:00 am" my clock read, I sighed and decided to get dressed. I put on what I usually wear, a dark coloured hoodie, and sweatpants. It was still dark out so I went back to bed just to lay down and look at my phone. My dad barged into my room looking drunk out of his mind and I thought "oh fuck" he stomped over to my bed and started yelling "who the fuck do you think you are leaving your dishes in the sink and not washing them you lazy fag?!". I mumbled under my breath " who do you think you are talking to your kid like this", I must've not have said it quiet enough because he grabbed me by the collar of the hoodie and screamed at me "don't you dare talk to me like that Liam!. He threw me down to the ground and kicked my stomach, I cried in pain and he said "maybe that'll teach you a lesson not to back talk". He left and I laid there for a minute then got up and ran to the bathroom connected to my room, I looked in the mirror and saw the black eye forming on my face "fuck" I whispered to myself. "How am I supposed to cover this up when I go to school?". I decided on sunglasses even though it was winter. An hour later I saw the bus pull up and I grabbed my backpack and ran out to catch it.
