Monday.

Finn wasn't prepared to go back to school. Usually when he was in care, he just skipped school and go anywhere else. This time though, they asked for the school to keep an eye on him meaning that every class he goes to, a teacher or the principal has to go check if he's in school. Finn didn't see a point though, he was going to leave school in a year anyway since he was nearly eighteen. As always, he woke up late at nine o'clock. He moaned as he stopped the alarm and got out of bed, he didn't really bother to take a shower so he just got dressed, he put on jogging bottoms and a black sweatshirt. He got his bag put on some trainers and left without eating. He got there at nine forty, the principal was already outside of the school waiting for Finn, he sighed stopping in front of the school and walked in with the principal. Oh, this was just great. Everyone and I mean everyone, was wearing identical dark green blazers, with a dark green jumper with a collared shirt and all the boys were wearing black trousers, not any one of them was wearing shorts, and all the girls were wearing either trousers or skirts with either black stockings or white socks. Why did they have to enrol him in a private school? Everyone stared at him seeing as he was the only person he wasn't wearing school uniform.

The principal lead him to the outside of his tutor room, at the door was a young girl who's hair was her shoulders and her skin fair. She was wearing a dark green blazer and jumper like everyone else and had on a black skirt with black stockings. Finn was looking at her up and down, with his mouth slightly open. How could someone be so attractive in a school uniform? He stopped looking at her after she gave a look with furrowed brows.
"Finn, I would like you to meet Millie one of our best students. Millie this is Finn, as you heard from Friday, you will be Finns tour guide and for a year you will be in the same lessons. Now Millie before you go with Finn to your lessons, please, find him uniform in the lost and found." He looked at Finn with a look of disgust, before waving Millie off awkwardly. Millie walked off with Finn following her from behind. She really didn't want to be seen with him.
"Where you going?" Finn said catching up.
"To class." Millie was covering her face so that she couldn't be seen.
"But he just said—"
"I know what he said. You can go find lost and found yourself!" She laughed.
"But I'm new and this school is big-"
"No crap Sherlock." She laughed again. She was waiting outside a classroom, with her face still covered since everyone with a free period was still watching them. "Look can you just, go away?!" She said frustrated.
"No, I can't! All my lesson are with you."
"Said who?"
"Well if you were listening, he just said all my classes are with you for a year." She rolled her eyes and was going to enter her class when Finn grabbed by the wrist. "Can you just— please, help me find uniform. You don't want people to find you with the new kid, that's fine. I'll leave you alone all year, I'll ask to get my classes re-done if you just take me to lost and found." She looked up and thought for a bit before finally taking Finn to lost and found.
"I don't think any of the blazers, jumpers or shirts or trousers, will fit you. You're way too tall." She laughed. "You'll look more of a loser with the uniform on."
"Just take me please!"
"We're already here." She stood against the wall where a sign said, 'lost and found.' "Knock yourself out. Bathrooms there." She pointed.
"Aren't you gonna go to class?"
"Good point." She said walking off but Finn stopped her by the shoulder and she turned around.
"Wait for me please." She rolled her eyes and nodded. Finn entered the storage room where everything was labelled on a bucket. He scanned, freshman sophomores junior... and even though he wasn't in twelfth grade, he took it anyway because he was pretty...big. He took the clothes and changed in the boys' toilets and by now, everyone else had left the halls, only a handful of kids were there.
"Finn, can you hurry up? It's been five minutes!" She banged on the boys' toilets.
"I-I'm already done!"
"Then come out, I'm not waiting any longer." She huffed and just when she was walking away, she heard the door close. Finn looked ridiculous! His blazer and jumper sleeves didn't reach his wrists and were a few inches up. His trousers didn't fit him either, they didn't go past the ankles for a good five inches, showing parts of his shin.
"You can't laugh—" but as soon as he said that well, Millie threw her head back and started laughing.
"Oh my god, I can't-" she said laughing more. The principal was walking to them since Finn or Millie weren't in their classes. Finn went straight back into the toilets.
"Millie? Why aren't you in class? And where's Finn? I least expect it from you to skip class."
"Sorry sir, Finn's still...in the toilet." She tried to keep a straight face but she couldn't. The principal knocked on the bathroom door and shouted out for Finn.
"Finn, you need to come out or we'll get security to escort out the toilets."
"Okay okay! You can't laugh though." Finn opens the door and slowly walked out. Even the principal had trouble keeping a straight face.
"It's not...that bad. It doesn't mean you still can't go to class, now go before security makes you." Millie slung her satchel over her shoulder frustrated and took out her headphones and blasted it with metal music. "Millie no headp-"  but she flipped him off before he could finish. He was used to Millie's rage and anger and this was the least she had done so he could give her detention later on. As well as Finn for 'skipping class.' The bell rang and students started to come out of class and between each lesson, they had two minutes to get to their class and because Finns next class was with Millie, he caught up to her. She moved away though because kids were starting laugh.
