Jacks POV

"Here I heard there are 3 British guys starting and their brothers as well." My friend Rian said.
"British? Bit posh for this shit hole?" I said.
"And I also heard that all three of them are good looking as well." He said.
"Why are you so excited about this? Your not even gay." I said and looked at him confused.
"Because maybe this is your chance to get over that bastard." Zack said as he joined us.
"Why do I want someone from England? What's wrong everyone here?" I asked.
"Everyone here are skants you know that. Anyway aren't British people meant to be good looking and all that shit." Rian said eating whatever was on his plate.
"You said there was 3 of them?" I asked.
"Yeah. Think I heard someone say they was looking round the school or something today." Zack said.
"One has to be gay if not gay then bi." Rian said.
"I've trained you two too well." I chuckled.
They both smiled and ate their lunch.

I was walking through the corridor when I walked into someone.
"Fucking open you eyes or wear glasses, fucking twat." They said.
Guess this was one of the British lad since his accents was completely different from everyone's here.
"Maybe you should get you head out of that fucking phone of yours." I said back.
He was cute but I wasn't falling for it, not after what happened last time.
"Maybe you should look where your fucking going." He said and walked off.
I watched him walk off and looked at the other 2 lads.
I'm guessing they was his bothers and they look like people who you didn't want to mess with.
I rolled my eyes and walked off to lesson.

Alex's POV

"Eric!, Freddie!, Alexander get up now!" Mum shouted and banged on all off our doors and opened them.
"10 more minuites." I muttered and pulled the covers over my head.
It didnt last long as mum came in and pukled the covers off me.
"Get up now!" She said and walked off.
I sat up and looked at the time.
"It's seven in the morning why you even waking us up now?" I said and got out of bed.
"Because knowing you 3 so well you'll aruge over who is having the bathroom first and how long someone spends in there." She said.
"Shot gun!" I said loudly and ran and got my stuff and ran too the bathroom before Eric and Fred could get in .
"Fuck sake." Freddie said.
"Don't use the hot water up, your not the only one who needs a shower!" Eric said and banged on the bathroom door.

I got out and Eric was waiting outside the door.
"About time too." He muttered and went in the bathroom.
"Seriously, we need to sort something out so I'm not the last one to have a fucking shower." Freddie huffed and went downstairs.
I just ignored them both and went to my room and had a look at what I could wear for school.
I put a jumper on which wasn't mine but I was stealing it from who ever it belonged too. A pair of skinny jeans and a pair of boots. I couldn't be bothered to try and tame my hair so I just put a beanie on and I grabbed my bag and slowly walked downstairs.
"Eric get the fuck out the shower! I need one as well!" Freddie shouted.

I went to the kitchen and made myself a tea.
"Morning sweetie." Mum said and walked over to me and kissed the top of my head like she did with all three off us.
"Morning." I said and lent against the side.
"You okay?" She asked.
"Part from shitting myself I guess I'm okay." I said quietly.
"Ah, don't worry princess we'll look after you." Eric said as he walked in the kitchen.
"Thanks for fucking saving me some fucking hot water!" Freddie shouted from upstairs.
Mum looked at Eric.
"Oops." Eric said and went and got himself some toast.
"Want some princess?" He asked and looked at me.
I shook my head.
"Having enough problems drinking my tea let alone eat anything." I said quietly.
Freddie came down and stole Eric's bit of toast.
"Oi!" Eric said and looked at Freddie.
"You stole all the hit water along with him over there but you used the most of it." He said and ate the toast.
"Do I have to go?" I asked and looked at mum.
"Yes you do, just have to remember to breathe and try not to over think about this." She said and pulled me into a hug.
"You'll be okay, if not then go to Eric or Fred and they'll sort anything out for you." She said quietly.
I nodded and downed my tea and Eric pushed me out the door.

"Now if anyone gives any of you two hell you tell us we need to look after each other." Eric said as he handed out cigarettes to me and Fred.
"But we gonna do if they do?" I asked and looked at him smoking my cigarette.
"We use your brains and then we use our fists to get them." Freddie said.
We was sat in the car talking about our game plan to surive this shithole.
"Anyone takes the piss out of you Alex tell us and we'll give them hell." Eric said.
Freddie nodded his head.
"What about you two, all very you saying I should come to you and that but I can look out for myself." I said.
"We'll come to you. But who's gonna mess with us when out of all off us your the weakling." Eric said.
"Gee thanks." I muttered and looked out the window.
"We better get going." Eric said and we all out of the car.
Everyone looked at us since we was all still smoking and we was just talking about anything.

Freddie and Eric where in their lessons and I was bunking since I really didn't want to be here and my anxiety was through the roof.
I was wondering through the corridor when a teacher spotted me
"Shit." I said too myself.
"You one of the new boys starting?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said and looked down.
"Which one are you? Oldest, middle or youngest?" He asked.
"Youngest." I said quietly and tried to get away from this.
"Why aren't you in lesson?" He asked.
"Bunking." I said.
"Not anymore your not come on I'm taking you too your lesson." He said.
I shook my head and went in the other direction.
He caught hold of my arm.
"Get off me!" I shouted and tried to snatch my arm away but couldn't.
"Go too your lesson." He said quietly.
"Get off me. Get the fuck off me!" I shouted again and kneed him hard in the balls.
"Mr Gaskarth my office now!" Another voice said and walked over to me.
I nodded and walked to where the office was.

I was sat in the chair with my feet up and my arms resting on my knees trying to calm down by pulling my hair.
"Well what a surprise too see you here." Someone said and sat next to me.
I looked too see who it was and it was Eric.
"Why you here?" I asked.
Eric got hold of my hands.
"Let of off your hair before you rip it all out and then you'll have none left." He said quietly.
I let my hair go and hugged my knees.
"Gobbed off at a teacher because of what they said about people with problems." He said and looked at me.
"What is golden boy doing here?" Freddie asked as he walked in the office.
"Kicked a teacher in the balls because he would let go of my arm." I said quietly.
They knew the reason why i did it.
"Hey not all teachers are going to be like that." Freddie said and sat on the othersode of me.
"I dont know that thougj do i? For all i know theyre going to be just like him." I said quietly.
The door opened.
"You three my office now." They said.
I shook my head and got up and walked out the room.
"Alex!" Eric said and caught up with me.
"I dont want to be here! I want to go home, i hate it here!" I said loudly.
Eric pulled me into a hug which was rare off him.
"I dont like it here either." He said quietly.
"You just need to calm down okay, things are going to be different here I promise, but you can't go around punching, kicking and picking fights with the teachers. I learnt the hard way with that and I don't want t you to be like that." He said quietly.
"I want to go home." I whispered.
"So do I but we have to face the music on what we have done. I think it's a record for all three of us to be in trouble on our first day." He chuckled.
I smiled and looked at him.
"You promise things are going to be better here?" I asked.
"I promise, we have to stick together okay. Just us three, the three musketeers like always." He said.
I smiled and looked down.
"Come on we can't leave Fred on his own to face the music." He said and we walked off.

We was sat in the head office they was talking about something but I wasn't really listening ing neither was Eric or Fred.
"Are you actually listening to what I was saying?" They asked.
"No." We all said.
They sighed.
"I know its hd moving from country to another and then starting a new school. It feels wrong that you've are here in a school where you all stand out. But none of you should go round beating a teacher up, disturbing a lesson or threaten other students." The said.
"Maybe they shouldn't be going round calling my little brother a freak and my older brother something which he his not, I'm sorry but I am not letting anyone talk shit about my family." Freddie said.
"You? Why did you punch that teacher?" They asked looking at me.
I didn't say anything.
"I need a reason on why you did it." They said.
"Because I did, no one lays a fucking hand on me or my brothers." I growled.
They was taken back a little.
"Every student in this school has 3 marks, once your 3 marks are gone you are out off this school." They said.
"I'll give it a week and I'll be gone." Eric said and got up and walked out the room.
"Don't make your life here hard enough as it is,we are like a family and we look out for each other. Coming into a new school half way through your school life is enough to make you not wanting to be here but you are so you have to suck it up and get along with everyone here." They said.
"You done with this shitty let talk? I have somewhere to be." Freddie said and got up and I followed him.
"Not you Alex I need to talk to you in privacy." They said.
I looked at Freddie fear going through me.
"He don't like being left on his own, personal reason ones which you don't need to know." Freddie as and we carried on walking out the room.

We all decided to skip the rest of the day and risk getting a good telling of by mum and dad.
I was sat in the back being more quiet than normal.
"You okay Lex?" Freddie asked and looked at me.
"Never better." I said quietly.
Freddie looked at Eric.
We got home and we walked in and dad was waiting for us.
"Seriously don't fucking start." I snapped and went upstairs and slammed my door shut.
After a load of shouting dow downstairs someone knocked on my door.
"Leave me alone." I said and looked out the window.
The door opened anyway.
"Alex, we have to talk." Dad said and shut the door behind him and sat on my bed.
"Are you okay?" He asked seriously.
"You mean if I'm going to down a bottle of pills and wash it down with vodka then yes I'm okay I'm not going to do that, how many more times do I have to say it." I said.
"No your not okay Alex. I may not be as close to you like I am too your brothers but I do know when your not okay." He said.
I looked at him.
"We was close, but then I came out to you and you was the one who distance yourself from me." I said.
"They always came before me in your eyes, your perfect boys the ones who weren't fucked up the ones who weren't gay." I said.
"I wouldn't have you any other way Alex and you know that. Eric had his problems as well." He said.
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes and looked back out the window.
"Tea will be in about an hour." He said and got up and left.
