Mum offered to take Leo and I to school and as usual we jumped at the chance. Today is the first day of term and I look forward to seeing my friends.
As I stare out the window I notice we have driven straight past school and into Greenock.
"Mum," I say "you've gone past school."
"You're not going to that school anymore." Mum say
"But why not?" I ask, my voice is a mix of anger and confusion. I wait for a reply but I never get one and we sit in silence for the rest of the car journey.
Mum pulls up at a school called Waterloo road.
The three of us open our doors and step outside we get weird stares from the other kids noticing our blue uniform, I look around and seeing girls smiling and whispering amongst their friends and boys holding footballs raising an eyebrow. Then a girl walks through the gates, she's small and has light orangey red hair, she smiles and I could've sworn it lit up the entire of Scotland and she is a boy who looks my age and looks like her, so I'm hoping he's her brother. I spot him coming over with her following.

It's the first day of term and me and Floyd have decided to walk instead of getting the car with mum and Vaughn. As we enter through the gates I see a car pulled up not in a parking space. Floyd goes over and I follow to see what is going on.
"Excuse me," Floyd says "I'm not sure you can park there."
"Don't worry," the woman says "just a short visit."
"Yeah but your car could get in the way." Floyd says
"Yeah, well it won't, Ginger Ninja," The older boy says with a smirk "come on mum, show us why we're here." The boy is tall, has blue eyes, dark brown hair and pale skin, he is so handsome.

I follow mum into the school and still get smiley looks from girls and glares from boys, God what is wrong with these people?
We walk into an office and mum walks straight through into the headmasters office ignoring the secretary telling her not to. When we walk through I realise why I am here, I look up and see Dad talking to his girlfriend, Ally. Quickly he looks up noticing we are here.
"Olga?" He says "Justin? Leo?"
"Vaughn, I can't cope anymore," mum says "since you left I've been suffering from anxiety and panics attacks, so I have booked myself into a clinic."
Listening to the conversation I become wide eyed, I thought mum was fine just a bit upset, I get up and give her a hug and gesture to Leo to do the same.
"I'm leaving the kids with you." Mum says
"What?" Dad says and looks at Ally who clenches her teeth and smiles awkwardly. "I'm sorry Olga but we have no room for them at the house." Dad says
"Well you're going to have to make room Vaughn!" Mum shouts and leaves the room without looking back.
