Mummy told me
7 Years on.
I was 12 moving on to my 2nd year of high school, I had just moved to that area so had no knowledge of who, what and were everything was. This school catered for the gifted and talented and as I fell into this category my mother, Mrs G, had moved me their promptly.
Great over hangs, laboriously decorated keystones and a thick purple vine engulfing this great magisterial building. Mrs G looming over me as i walk through the gate made me all the more afraid, i mean at least if I'd come on my own i wouldn't be teased for having my mother walk me to the school gates. But suddenly all of my worries disappeared and was replaced by an even grater one; why was there no one around.
"mrs Gaskarth, I would like to welcome alex personaly to what is to be his new home" said mr white,I only found out his name my mother blurted out,
"MR WHITE, I NEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT"
"This Congleton Bording-School, we educate the finest boys and only the finest. your young lad is bunking with our house captain Jack Barakat." I looked bemused I'm here to learn, not to live. My mom wouldn't make me sleep here, would she. My thought trail was broken as mr White screamed over my head,
"JACK! please come in dear"
From behind what looked like a tattered and torn Chinese silk screen a hunched boy not much older than myself shuffled cautiously towards me and my mother.
"pleasure to meat you miss Gaskarth" He stretched a tender hand out to Alex's mother, which she took and shook rapidly. Then he turned and faced me he offered his hand to me. in the split second our hands touched i knew we would be the closest friends ever.
