Chapter 1- Exams, exams and more exams

'Yawn', I had been up all night revising for my Maths exam which I would have in 1 weeks time, I'm really stressing about it. Many people call me 'geeky' because of the amount of effort I usually put forward for passing my exams but I have high ambitions. I have wanted since I was 3 years old to be a doctor (Paediatrician), that was what I am determined to do and I will never let that dream go. Thomas (who is my best friend) hasn't been doing so much work since his dad and mum divorced. That really traumatised him and sometimes he even has stopped going to school altogether. I am really worried for him and I try to get him to work by coming round to his house twice a week to tutor him. 

I got slowly out of bed and pulled my school clothes on. They were brand new as I had grown  greatly in the passed month. My school was basically right next to my house, so 1 or 2 minutes away. My school was a weird one, right next to the edge of town and very small. Thomas lives right next to my house on the right, we knew each other ever since we were born. I stepped out of the door cramming a toast into my mouth the cold air hit me. I grabbed my coat then went over to Thomas' house. As usual the house was oddly quiet, the only thing you could hear was the fire crackling in their living room fireplace. I rang the door bell and took two steps backwards. 7 minutes later Thomas finally opened the door, his eyes were bagged and he looked really ill. 'are you OK?' Laura said worriedly. 'I could ask you the same thing' he said grinning taking a picture of me and showing it to me. I also had bags under my eyes but.. 'i was revising. what has happened to you?' i said. 'same, i was revising. I decided yesterday night I would start to since i want to graduate with you. I was looking at jobs i could have if i didn't pass these exams and i most definitely don't want to be a cleaner, bin man, lolly pop man or a check out person' he said very seriously. 'Thomas, there are so many jobs you can have in the world. Not only doctors, astronauts, vets, actors or models. Oh, i am so glad you have decided to revise again. I was getting so worried' i said relieved. 'You always worry he said grabbing his bag and walking up the garden path. I followed him and we walked to school. When I said my school was small i mean 10 people per classroom/year. most high schools have more than 500 people in the whole year but our school was in a small town not very close to others. I will introduce you to my classmates, Greta is nice but quite naughty. She is normally cheeky to the teacher but she is very clever. Bob is a bit dim but very happy most of the time. He is friends with everyone. George is the sporty one in our year, he goes to lots of after school clubs (in the school because there are not many clubs out of school because of the population of our town). Lily is the most popular in our class but is very vein and selfish, many people think her as beautiful (she is). Thomas (my friend) has always had feelings for her, even though she already has a boyfriend (George). Livvy is quite small and quite shy, she is known in our whole school for being a really good singer. Tim (who has joined our class only last year) is very talented at music. He plays the guitar, violin, piano, cello, viola, trumpet and the drums. It is quite a lot but his mother and father are both musicians and the rest of his family.(there is not one person in his family who isn't a musician). Oliver, is a bully in our year but he has gotten better since the school nominated him for the pupil council which it seemed he had always wanted. Dave is the last pupil in my class and he is really, and i mean really nerdy. He has a periodic table lunch box and he has a map-printed bag, wears spectacles and knows every single small fact, i mean how can people call me geeky! But all in all they are a pretty good bunch and I'm not enemies with anyone, yet. 

You probably want to know how me and Thomas are friends, if not, oh well!

We were born on the same day but Thomas was born around 2 hours before me. My mum and his mum were great friends until she suddenly separated herself from everyone and filed a divorce. Thomas was devastated, but his dad was never the same. Thomas says he thinks his mum was cheating on Mark with another man but he doesn't actually know. 

Everyone has bad things in their life and i'm hoping that day won't come for me.

We walked through the school gates and went to our queue. The teachers were almost always late to arrive to class. And as always Dave was right at the front of the queue with his satchel hanging on his arm. Poor Dave, he didn't have much friends but Thomas had tried. It didn't work.

Dave isn't very social but hes fun to be around!

The school bell chimed and I looked up to watch the bells swing back and forth, I didn't know how they got up there because i had never seen any doors or stairs going up to the bell room. 5 minutes passed and Miss West finally swung open with a smile on her face, coffee in one hand and pens stuffed into her shirt pocket. 'Come on in' she called smiling at the parents from the younger years, yes this school had it all. The nursery, the primary school, and the secondary school. But we all knew that when she would head inside her smiling face would switch in a split second to her usual mean ungrateful frown. She closed the door 'Hurry!' she shrilled. Everyone quickly jogged into the classroom and took their allocated seats. Boy-girl-boy-girl etc. She was very strict and would have no friends sit beside each other. I was sitting next to Bob and Tim, they were nice. 

'Everyone should know, and hopefully everyone has been revising for their upcoming exam' Miss West glared purposefully at Bob. 'Yes miss!' Bob squeaked. the rest of the class chimed in, 'yes miss west'. Bob glanced over at my revising notes. I smiled, 'have you revised'? I asked him. 'well..erm..not yet, no' he replied guiltily. 'Do you want me to help you after school?' i asked. He looked up with a smile on his face, 'really?!' he replied happily- 'QUIET' Miss West shouted swivelling to face us. 'Unless you want a letter sent home you better listen  to what i am saying, understood?' she angrily said. 'Yes', we chorused. I looked out the window, it was starting to hail. There were screams from the children outside as they were rushed inside. They were all the year below us. I chuckled watching all of them sprint with their jumpers on their heads inside. My eyes turned to see one  kid right outside my room, he stood exactly where he was. He had heard the teacher to come, most definitely, but had gone in the opposite direction. His teacher didn't see him, i watched him as he turned around, his pale blue eyes locked with mine. He turned around and rushed off into the mist...
