Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

I really don't want to go, but I know I have no choice because in my family education is first.

Besides, what if I end up having a good time and no one ends up picking on me like they did at my old school. At my old school people used to pick on my eyes because I'm mixed with green eyes. They said I looked like Christmas Ornament. At first it was funny and I thought it was just a joke. Until they started saying even meaner things and actually started trying to hurt my feelings. They would call me a mutt and say i need to go back where i came from. Sometimes they would even pinch ne and pull my hair. When I would tell my dad about what the kids did to me, they would say that they were just being kids, just joking, trying to have fun and that I needed time stop taking things to the heart. Until one day I went to school and a girl nearly made me go blind by poking me in the eyes because she thought they were fake.

I hope at this new school people won't make fun of me. Even though I'm 6 in the second grade and most people didn't believe me that second graders can be that cruel, but they wouldn't know because they haven't experienced what I went through.

That's in the past now and now that I left my old school in Idaho, because my parents split up a few months ago. So me and my mom moved to Cheshire, England. I wondered why that place out of everywhere in the world. She told me she wanted to just move their to get away from everyone and everything that reminded her of my dad. She never told me why she and my dad got a divorce, but he didn't even seem to care when we left. The worst part about moving to a new place in a whole different country is that I have to start school in the middle of the year. At that point in school everyone has already made their friends and some dont want any new friends. I start school tommorow. I'm going to a school called Holmes Chapel Primary School. I'm guessing That's what they call a elementary school here.

When I got to the doors of the classroom I was supposed to be in, I saw that I was the first there. Great now they're going to think I'm a nerd who loves school. The teacher saw me in the door way and greeted me with a warm smile. She looked to be in her 50's with gray hair, but she was dressed in a long tanish skirt with her button up gray shirt tucked into the skirt. She told me everything I needed to know about what we were going to learn the rest of the year. She said that her name was Mrs. Tate and that she wouldn't call my name in front of everyone if that made me uncomfortable. She seemed really nice and a good start of the year so far. She said that she had to run to the front office for a meeting really quick so she would have a teacher check in on us while she was gone. I gave her the thumbs up sign and she exited the classroom. That meant that I was in there by myself.

The room wasn't that big of a classroom. The walls were filled with funny/inspirational posters. She had a corner with a big red carpet on it with the alphabet on it. With bookshelves surrounding the carpet like a little house. The desks were in rows, I decided I would sit in the back to avoid attention from everyone. While I was looking at the posters on my way to the back of the room a boy walked in and I jumped because he scared me. He looked like he was my age maybe a year older. He had short curly hair and his eyes were the SAME COLOR AS MINES. I looked at the poster immediately so he wouldn't see my eyes. I don't need a repeat of what happened at my old school. I could see out of the corner of my eyes that he was staring at me. I must've scared him. That's when he spoke.

Oh I didn't mean to scare you, it's just no one is usually hear this early. He said.

He had a beautiful accent. He sounded like a british god. So i said.

It's Okay. I said with a smile.

He smiled at me, I made sure we didn't make eye contact but he saw that I was trying to avoid eye contact with him. He did something no one has ever done before. Out the corner of my eye I seen that he was walking up to me. He then asked me why wasnt I looking at him.

Just looking at the posters. I said still avoiding eye contact.

He looked at the poster and smiled. It was a cat hanging off the tree and it said " Never give up " He was a little bit taller than me. So I would have to look up to him.

Are you avoiding eye contact with me? He said.

No. I said putting my head down looking at my shoes.

Then look at me. He said as he took a step closer to me in his beautiful accent.

I knew in my brain as soon said did he would start teasing me about my eyes. So I took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. His eyes were beautiful. They looked just like mines but he looked better with them. He was smiling from ear to ear when I looked at him. I was expecting him to laugh at me but instead of that he said.

Wow, Your beautiful. He said just above a wisper with a smile.

That caught me off guard. So I just stood there like a total idiot just smiling at him. It felt like an eternity that we were just standing there looking into each others eyes. Until the bell had broken the moment and kids started coming into the school. The kids here more advanced than the town I was from. All they did there was run, scream, cry and shout if someone had cooties.

The kids here act like mini adults. No running, no screaming, moved of that. All they did was have conversations and act like high school kids. Some even were in relationships already. Am I in the second grade or what? He jumped a little and said we should get a seat before everyone came in. So i sat in the back row in the corner and he sat next to me. He seemed pretty nice and he was cute but I had no time for boys. I had to stay focused and get my work done so I can make my mom proud. I didn't want her to worry about anything else except her being Happy. I totally forgot to ask for his name.

So I played it off and said it. I turned to ask him but he was already staring at me like if this is a dream or something. When I caught him looking at me he immediately turned towards the front of the class, where kids were now starting to pile in. I laughed and saw that he was turning red.

By the way I'm Mercedes. I said with my hand sticking out ready to shake his.

I'm Harry, Harry Styles. He said with a grin shaking my hand back.
