Chapter 11 - First Day (Part 1)

Chapter 11 - First Day (Part 1)

This was it. My first day at Star Academy. My last day seeing Cece and my mum. My last day of freedom and fun before I went into prison.

Call me dramatic, but could you blame me?

We'd arranged all our furniture and stuff in our new house, I'd also changed into my uniform and then my mum and Cece came to see me off. The next time I'd see them was in a month, and that was only for a week.

I had to admit, I was gonna miss them.

We all climbed out of the taxi, (with me nearly falling out because of those darn crutches) and looked at the massive building in front of us. Somehow I was already gaining attention, probably from my uniform. We walked to the entrance and I turned around to face my family.

"Unique, behave and try your best. Enjoy yourself." My mum said, and hugged me. I hugged her back, half-heartedly.

"Unique, I'll miss you! Remember to write to me and get me presents and make new friends and get a boy friend and-" I cut her off by hugging her.

"Don't worry, I'll be seeing you in about a month." I told her, waved at both of them and hobbled away, somehow managing to carry my suitcases at the same. Joking, my mum helped me carry them. I wasn't that strong.

When we were inside the building one of the teachers, well adults that were there, saw how I was struggling to take things by myself and took the suitcases from mum. I mouthed 'bye' to her and Cece then waved at them.

We were led into what I think was the assembly hall and was told to sit down on the seats. I sat down and kept my crutches on the wall beside me and looked in the middle of the hall where a man was standing. I guess he was the head master.

"Good morning, and welcome to another new year at Star Academy!" He said, and everyone cheered. I made a face. Really?

"I know most of you have been here before but for the new students, I'm Mr. Moore, the head master of this school. If you follow the rules and try your best in your studies, you'll have a great time at Star Academy!" He said, and everyone cheered again.

"Now, the teacher standing beside the groups you are in will be called your 'form teacher'. They will take you to your 'forms' where they'll tell you more about the rules and hand out the necessary stuff you'll need. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day! I'll see you guys around!" He said and everyone clapped. I looked at the teacher standing next to our group. Thankfully it was a woman. She was quite young, probably in her early 30's and had dark hair and grey eyes.

"Alright everyone, stand up and follow me!" She said, and we all obeyed. Except I sat down again because I didn't have my crutches, so I grabbed hold of them and stood up again.

We walked/hobbled with our stuff out of the assembly hall and to our form room.

"And that's everything you'll need from me. Remember to follow the rules, and now you can go to find your dorms which is in that building," Our form teacher pointed at the building opposite us outside and we all looked out the window.

"Off you go!" She dismissed and everyone rushed out. I was still keeping all the stuff she'd given us, (a homework calendar, lunch card, etc) in my new bag when I realized the class was empty. Geez, these people were eager to meet their dorm mates. To be honest, I was a bit excited as well.

I hobbled out of our classroom and started heading to the building that Miss pointed at. I was nearly knocked over by the crowd of new students, but somehow I managed to survive. It was possibly how I prodded anyone who came to close with one of my crutches, or because of my awesomeness.

Probably the second one.

Anyway, when I was inside the building I looked at what my homework calendar said. It wasn't only for homework, funnily enough, it had your timetable in the back and you could write notes in there. 

I was in room 162.

I started heading there, looking at the door numbers. 159, 160, 161, 162, Aha!

I knocked on the door and opened it. Inside there was a girl with dirty blonde hair brown eyes. She was about the same height as me and was smiling but when she saw me her smile faded.

Um, okay?

I walked in and kept me stuff down then looked up at her.

"Hi, I'm Unique Williams, who are you?" I said bluntly. Look, I was tired, cranky, and didn't want to tell my life story. All that walking made me exhausted. Especially with crutches.

She raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow. "I'm Ava Nacare. Sorry about my expression earlier, it's just I expected my best friend Hannah to walk through the door, not you . . ." She trailed off, looking me up and down. Seeing my expression, she quickly added:

"Not that it's a bad thing, I'm sure we'll be great friends!" She said. I ignored her and started unpacking.

"So . . . What do you wanna do? Walk around the school or stay here and get to know each other?" She said, plopping down on one of the beds. I looked at her.

"Huh?" I said stupidly, still unpacking.

"We have the rest of today off, tomorrow we actually start our classes. So you wanna explore the school or stay here?" She repeated patiently, raising her eyebrows.

"Well, since I'm tired and I also have these," I lifted one of my crutches. "I think I'd rather stay here." I said.

"Oh, that's gre-" Ava started but I cut her off.

"And sleep." I finished. Flopping down on one of the beds. I looked at her expression which was genuinely hurt. I grinned and sat up.

"I guess you're not one of those fake blondes who pretend to like people but in truth, would rather become bald." I said, sitting up on my bed. It took her a few seconds to process what I just said, and then she finally understood and beamed at me. 

"That's great! I really want to tell someone about the latest gossip! With Hannah of course." She said, standing up. I looked at her in confusion.

"I thought we were gonna stay in here . . ." I trailed off, standing up as well. She snorted.

"We have to find Hannah then relax. I can't tell you everything without her." She stated, and headed towards the door, opening it for me. I thanked her, and we set off, looking for this 'Hannah'.
