If Only

Chapter Three: First Day

Ooh Chapter 3, hopefully if you've made it this far you like the book, I really hope so. Please remember that i like feedback, enjoy!!

It was eight-thirty on the dot when we, as in my mother and I, arrived at my new school.

"Do you want me to come in with you?" Mum asked me as I made my way out of the car.

"No thank you," I replied as politely as I could. If we're being honest here I am in a bit of a mood this morning, my mother couldn't annoy me any more than she already has. It's not her fault she's worried about me, I'm her daughter it's her job, but it's becoming a bit obsessive. I already told her that I'm fine, my nightmares are bearable and I just don't want her to have to worry about me all the time.

Enthusiastically I make my departure and go find the office with a bounce in my step. Yes, I am excited about school. I like it if that's so hard to believe. It wasn't long before I found the office, entering I saw a young lady behind a desk, she looked as if she were in her late twenties.

"Hi, you must be Isla?" The office lady asked, she seemed polite.

"Yeah, that's me but I registered with my preferred name ."

"Ah, yes I see, Bailey?" I nod in approval.

"Here is your timetable," she slid the piece of paper over to me.

"We have organised someone to show you around and inform you of anything you are unaware of. If you need anything at all you can come and see me the office is open all day."

"Ok, thank you," I reply knowing that I won't be back to ask for help.

"Take a seat, he'll be here in a minute." He?

I took a seat on the hard chair and the only chair they have in the office. After about, hold on let me take a look at my watch, a minute and a half, a male about six foot and very muscular walked in. He approached me, this must be him?.

"You must be Bailey, I'm Leo Cooper, I'll be showing you around." I feel like that line was rehearsed, quite obviously he doesn't want to be here. At least he got my name right. I stood.

"Yep." I say annoyed, is everyone going to be this rude?

"Come with me, we're in the same homeroom." With that he walked out of the office and I followed. Why? That's something I don't understand.

Not even paying me any attention he continues to walk straight ahead not bothering to tell me where anything is. He says nothing. He's that typical guy that cares only of himself and i wont put up with it, especially since what happened with Peter. I stop dead.

"Look, if you don't want to show me around it really doesn't bother me. I'm not a big fan of following males tools who think that they are above you. It really isn't my thing." I say this with sas. Someone should put him in his place.

"What?" he stops and turns around to face me.

"I really don't appreciate your rudeness, so point me in the right direction for homeroom and I can find my own way."

"I'm sorry if I was being rude, I'm just really pissed off," He explains.

"That is no excuse, so if you'll just point me in the right direction." He pointed down the hall and strot off. He follows.

"It's this one on the right," he informs me before we got to the end of the hallway.

"Thanks," I say back and go in and take a seat at the back. I don't know why I thought he wouldn't choose to sit up the back. He sits next to me, urgh.
