there's no other way- Damon Albarn

hey I'm Damon

"so how do you like this school so far"? Damon asks. "I um, its okay", I answer quite awkwardly. he talks to me for a while until what seems like his friend comes up and sits right next to him. the boy has shaggy dark brown hair that hangs just over his eyes and a tall lanky frame. he sits next to Damon and it seems like he's forgotten about me already, I just sit there in silence for the rest of the lesson.

after what seemed like a very long lesson its break, I walk through the crowded corridors and try and find the dining hall. I feel my chest tighten as I start to get more anxious, it all hits me the fact I've got nobody and I'm in a new school. I finally find the dining hall and stand in the line waiting to get some food. just then I jump as I hear a loud Manchester accent booming behind my ears I turn around to see a boy with dark brown hair and the thickest eyebrows I've probably ever seen, I stare at him until I realise he's looking back at me. I quickly turn around and pretend I didn't see him, I thought he'd just Ignore me and carry on talking to his mate, but no.

"you alright love" he says his voice loud and strong I turn to him to make sure he's talking to me, his deep blue eyes staring right through me. "yeah, I'm alright thanks" I reply shyly. "are you new here"? the boy asks. I start to feel myself get more confident, "yeah I'm new, its my first day". he grins at me almost a smug look over his face but I cant quite tell. "you know anybody yet, got any mates"? he asks his voice more calm then when I first saw him. "no" I reply "I don't know anybody yet". he smiles when I say that as If its a good thing I look a little confused. "well come and sit with us when you get your food I promise I don't bite". he's says that and then trails off to sit with his mates.

I smile to myself as I get my food, I feel as if I have already made a friend. then I realise he didn't even tell me his name. after I've gotten my food I look around the hall to see where he is sat, I see him and his table chatting away and laughing at each other. I walk over and the boy looks up at me and tells me to sit down next to him. "so, you haven't even told me your name yet" I say looking at him. "oh yeah my names Liam, Gallagher if you want my second name". I smile at him "my names Rachel". "that's a nice name Rachel, meet noel me nob head brother". noel just smiles at me and gives Liam a look "and here's bonehead and guigsy". I say hi to them and they just smile back not really taking notice of me, not like I care.

as lunch carries on Liam's getting closer to me his arm constantly brushing against mine, but I'm not sure if I like it or feel uncomfortable, I just keep my arm still where it is, not sure what to do. Liam tells me he's in a band called oasis, I've always been a sucker for a boy who could sing. "do you want to come to one of my gigs"? he asks me. "sure, Id like that I reply smiling back at him.

just then the boy from my English class Damon walks into the hall, I cant stop myself from staring at him, his beautiful eyes glistening under the bright light of the hall. Liam pulls me out of my what seemed like trance, "oi, you're not eyeing up bloody albran are you"? Liam half shouts. "what, albran that's a bloody cereal". I say back you him. "I'm on about Damon albarn you know that bender you're looking at"! Liam says a slight annoyance in his tone. "uh no" I say slightly confused on why he doesn't like him. "good" Liam says "he's a right dickhead"! I just agree and carry on what I was doing.

a few seconds later Damon walks past the table and noel sticks his leg out and trips up Damon making him go flying. "HAHA albran went flying" guigsy shouts. I look at noel "what did you do that for" I shout, "it's funny" noel replies. I just scoff and go towards Damon to help him up.
