"Okay so we wake up at 6:30 then we will get ready and leave at 7:45. The bus comes at around 7:50 and it's just down the road, I'll show you where that is tomorrow. Lauren and harry go too primary school so they get a different bus to us. Lauren will give you your uniform tomorrow. Okay"

It took me a few seconds to take in everything that Ashton had just told me. I knew that joining a new school would be a struggle as I'm not the best at handling social situations. But I hoped the new school wasn't very big.

"This school isn't big right?" I didn't want to appear nosey but I need to know what to expect.

"Well I wouldn't say big" he chuckled a little, while eating another mouthful of pasta.

"What do you mean? Am I missing out on a joke here?" I was really confused about what he was saying.

"Well let's just say you'll see when you arrive" he smiled at me again then picked up his plate and left the kitchen, leaving me still in a confused mess.

"Oh darling you must be Charlotte! I've heard so much about you" a woman who resembled Ashton was stood in front of me. She had medium length blonde curly hair which bobbed a little as she spoke. She was wearing a white blouse and black formal trousers.

"I've just got back from work so excuse my clothes" she chuckle a little. I couldn't help but notice that when she smiled she looked like a spitting image of ashton. " I'm guessing Ashton had already giving you a tour of the house?"

"Yes mum I have" Ashton grumbled a little, causing a small smile to appear on my lips.

"Did you eat some dinner as well? We don't want you too be hungry in your first day now"

"Yes I did thank you" I smiled at her trying to keep up my manners.

"Well You two better go upstairs now. You've got school tomorrow"

Me and ashton both headed towards the staircase.

"Goodnight Mrs Irwin. See you in the morning" I wanted to be polite as I may be here for some time.

"Oh it's 'Ms' darling. But goodnight to you too" she gave me a small smile. She seamed that I had just brought up a touchy subject. I wanted too leave it as it was honestly none of my business if she's married or not.

Me and ashton made our way upstairs until we reached the landing.

"See you in the morning then" he said while turning to walk too his own room.

"Goodnight ashton"

I snuggled further into my burrito of warmth which was formed by my duvet. I could hear a muffle voice but I decided to ignore it.

"Charlotte! Charlotte! Wake up the bus is coming in 20 minuets" I groggily opened my eyes too see a young girl stood over my bed. She had short, brown curly hair and sweet brown eyes.

"Who are you?" I didn't want too be rude but I had no idea who this girl was. And why she was in my room.

"I'm Lauren. I share a room with you" she stated at me like that was something I should've known already. Ashton probably told but I must've forgot. "You still need to get up we have school today"

"Okay, just five more minuets" I turned and faced the other way hoping to drift back into my slumber for just a little while longer.

"Charlotte if you don't get up now you'll have too get the 8'o'clock bus"

"Fine" after really thinking about it I decided that I didn't want to be late on my first day.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes to get rid of the sleep dust. I noticed Lauren had gone and left a mess of school books and stationary in her presence. On the end of my bed my school uniform was placed with a sticky label saying 'Charlotte'

I swung my legs off the side of the bed, grabbed my wash bag and made my way to the bathroom down the corridor.

I knocked once too check that nobody was in there, then twisted the handle and made my way too the shower.

I tried to be as quick as I could so I wouldn't be late for school.

Once I had done I tied my hair up into a bun and made my way back down the corridor towards my room.

I put on my school uniform which consisted of a blouse, blazer, tie, tights, black shoes and a rather unappealing blue checkered skirt. The material of the skirt was itchy and uncomfortable which meant I had too fiddle with it every now and again to stop it from itching.

I had only now realised that I didn't have a school bag. So I would have too use my rucksack which I brought with me.

I emptied my things out of the bag and put them in my draw. I would sort them out later as I didn't have time now.

Seeing as I didn't have any school books I just put my makeup bag into the rucksack and slung it over my back.

I headed down the creaky stairs and made my way towards the door. I decided to skip breakfast as I wasn't very hungry and I'm assuming the school has a canteen so I could just buy something.

"Charlotte do you want me to take you too the bus stop?" Ashton's familiar voice echoed from the kitchen towards me. A few moments later he came into view. His hair was messy and was sticking all over the place, he had joggers and a black shirt on.

"Oh, aren't you going to school?"

"I'm in six form so sometimes my classes are later in the day"

"Oh ok"

"Let me just get my shoes on then I can show you where the bus stop is" he smiled then turned towards the shoe rack. He put on some black vans then grabbed two sets of keys.

"Here's a set of keys so you don't have to worry about getting locked out" he handed me the keys
then we both headed towards the front door.

As soon as the door opened the cold February air hit me. Some frost had formed on the cars overnight. In the hedges spider webs had turned into beautiful glossy patterns spiralling in every direction.

We both walked down the road in a comfortable silence until we reached the bus stop. A few other people stood in the same uniform to mine.

"Do you want me too wait with you?"

"No it's alright. It's cold and you should get back" I didn't want him too stay outside longer than he should do.

"Well I'll see you later then" he smiled and turned away walking in the other direction before I could answer.

I stood and shuffled from foot too foot trying to stay warm. Every breath I took a poof of air came spiralling out of my mouth and nose.

In the corner of my eye I saw a tall boy approach me. He had cute curly brown hair and he was wearing a black coat over his school uniform. His gorgeous eyes seamed to shine and replace all this cold air with warmth.

"Hi I'm harry"

Please vote! It would mean so much :)

This chapter is a long for me ahah seeing as my other ones were pretty short.

Also I want to say that Ashton lives in England not Australia in case anyone's confused by the schooling system (idk how it works out there) or weather :)

But anyway thanks for reading :)
