A Place to call home
Chapter 1
Alex's P.o.V
I woke up, and immediately realized it was Monday. Groaning, I pulled myself out of bed. First day at my new school. Nothing to worry about...But what if everyone hates me? What if I can't get any friends? What if my grades dropped? My mum would kill me! Ugh, so many if's. I then noticed I was starting to breath heavier, and my head was getting lighter. I ran and put on the shower, striping myself of my pyjama's, hopped into the now warm shower, and started washing my hair. Once I finished my shower, I saw that the time was 7:42 am. Crap, I only have about 45 minutes to get ready and 15 to walk down to the school. I started pulling on my clothes and straightening my hair, which took about 15 minutes to do both. Once my hair was straightened, I sprayed it with hairspray, grabbed my bag and started heading downstairs to grab a bowl of cereal. I swallowed down the rest of my white chocolate brownie krave and pulled on my blink 182 converse and my hoodie, then walked out of the door.
"So class, this is our new student. Your name?" The new teacher asked me. Crap crap crap. "Uh-I'm ah-Alex." I mumbled. "Can you tell us some things about yourself Alex?" He asked with a really bored voice. He must have to do this a lot. "I'm from uh...Essex. I l-like the bands Blink 182 and Green Day, I..." I trailed off. Why was I so panicky all the time? "Essex? Shut up!" Someone yelled in a stereotyped Essex accent. When people laughed, I blushed, and looking down, I walked over to the seat the teacher told me to sit in. When I sat down, I realized the girl sitting next to me was staring at me. I looked up. She seemed okay, blonde mid-length hair with bluey-teal highlights, pale green eyes,very even facial features. I then noticed she had a gold nose ring in, and it made me like her a bit more. Then she spoke. "Hey, I'm Jenna. Alex, right?" I nodded. She was quite pretty. "Yeah, Alex." I clarified. "How are you? Moving is tough, right? I only moved her a...Gosh, about 4 months ago now...I heard you like Blink, And I see why. They're amazing. As well as Green Day. I listen to them both all the time." I nodded, and now she seemed even cooler now I knew she liked the same music as me. "Hey, since I think we'll be good friends, Here." She said, handing me a small slip of almost-perfectly-torn-in-a-square paper. It said:
Mobile: 07923 024 737
Home: 01720 843977 - Jenna <3 c:
I couldn't believe it. "Thanks." I mumbled to her, I'm sure blushing a little. "No problem." She replied, almost smiling her face off in the process. I smiled back, happy I had at least one new friend.
After school, I was walking home with Jenna. We had great fun just talking, almost splitting our sides over the slightest funny thing, but she went the other way than me, so I waved and yelled 'Bye!' after her, and she turned around and did the same thing. I started heading the way I went, and was knocked over by a boy...He was familiar...I think he was in about 4 of my classes, I was sure his name was Jack..."Hi, I'm-" I was cut off by him saying "So your that new Essex kid Alex, Then?" I nodded, and his fist connected with my face, then when I collapsed, his foot with my stomach. I groaned, but I had pretty good endurance as this happened a lot in my old school. "Bye, Alex. Hope I see you around." He said, and then turned and walked away. I struggled to my feet, wincing at the pain in my stomach and nose. I think my nose was bleeding. I walked painfully towards my front garden gate, fumbled with the bolt, and ran as fast as I could without collapsing to my room. Some of my stuff was unpacked, and the rest would have to be unpacked later, but not now. I locked my bedroom door and ran to my bathroom. My mum was at work right now, and hopefully she wouldn't come back while I was cleaning myself up. I had a blood stain on my shirt as I had let it bleed down to my shirt, I was in too much pain to stop it before. My hair was in all directions and sticky with sweat. Once I had dealt with my nose, I jumped in the shower to wash off the sweat from trying to get to my house, and to wash any blood on my side where he had kicked me off. I sighed as I looked over the old scars on my stomach. Jack really had no idea, did he? Once I had taken the second shower I had that day, I pulled a new shirt on, sighed at the mess-up of a person I was, and went downstairs to find myself some food.
