Hello my name is Hardin Scott I have recently moved from London. My mum wanted me to have a fresh start because of my past. When I was around 17 years old I would make bets on girls for money. Yes I know I'm fucked up. I live in Washington and I start school in about 16 hours. I am 19 and this is my last year of high school.

*First day of school*

I get up and take a shower I relax under the hot water. I get out and get dressed, as I'm walking down stairs my little brother comes out of his room. I hope he has a good day, as I made him leave his old good life back in London. I grab my keys and leave.

"Why did we move? is it because of what you did?" My little brother asks as I drive.

"We moved because mum wanted to start fresh for me, So to answer your question yes we moved because of my past."

I drop him off and I drive to the high school. When I walk in people stare I get tense and then get tapped on the shoulder.

"Hardin?" a voice behind me says

"Yes?" I say as I turn around and see a short girl with blonde hair and big blue eyes.

"Hi i'm Tessa, I was asked to help you out."

She is really pretty, I want her to help but I don't like being helped because I can take care of myself. I walk to the office and get my schedule and walk to my first class which is science. as I walk to class I feel someone jump on my back. Its Tessa

"HEY! Sorry to jump on you. I do it to all my friends, even though you don't like me, Anyway we have this class together! you can sit with me."

Don't like her? God yes I do. She is so nice I could date her. I have no clue what to do or say so I just nod yes. We walk in and sit in the back which is okay because I hate people except Tessa and my family. The teacher starts to talk and then...

"WE HAVE A NEW STUDENT" The teacher screams and then she says

"His name is Hardin Scott he comes from London s-"

"SHUT UP! DON'T YOU SEE NO BUDDY CARES!?" Tessa cuts her off by saying and I'm happy that she did because not everyone needs to know where I live and my life story.

"Okay Miss Young, Moving on. Take out your notebooks and write what's on the bord."

Once that class and English are over its lunch I walk with Tessa and she tells me about her life. She is so nice and just doesn't care much about what people think she tells the teachers to shut up with no hesitation in her voice. We sat with her friends Molly and Kira and a boy named Logan.

"So you're from London, why do you come to america?" Molly asks in a stupid voice like I don't understand English or American accents.

" Well yes I come from London and I don't want to talk about why I came here, I also understand you, we speak English there" I tell her and everyone laughs. I could listen to Tessa's laugh all day. Do I like Tessa? Fuck I do...

"HELLO?!" Logan says, breaking my thoughts.

"ugh sorry what?" I say nervously.

" I asked do you wanna hang out at my house?" he asks and I would love to go but I have to help my mum after school and I have to babysit my 12 year old brother, so I can't.

" sorry I would love to but I can't. I have to help my mum and I have to watch my brother, I wish I could.'' I say and Tessa frowns.

"Do you want help with your mom and babysitting?" Tessa asks.

"yes please I have to help my mum unpack the house then I have to set up my room and I have-"

I'm stopped by the bell and me and Tessa go to our last class while Molly, Logan and Kira leave to go to their class. On the way to our class Tessa hugs me and I stop. Why is she hugging me? Then she starts to cry. Why is she crying? Did I do something?
