Me and Erica spent the weekend on the streets.
It was Sunday I figured that mum would of cooled off a little by now so we went home.
Sure enough mum was back to herself and she went upstairs to clean Eric up since me and her probably smell.

Erica was in bed and I was sat in the sitting room quietly playing my guitar and swearing away like I do.
"Lex?" Mum said quietly and sat next to me on the sofa.
I stopped playing the guitar and looked at her.
"Balls." I said and mum chuxkled a little.
"I'm sorry I did what I did Lex." She said quietly and looked at away.
"It's fine. But you really shouldnt let him get to you. You know that's what he wants." I said quietly.
"I can't help it. He just gets under my skin." She said.
"Next time he does don't throw me and Eric on the streets. It's fucking freezing at night." I said and put the guitar back in its place.
"Where you going."
"Fuck a bitch." I said.
"Alexander!" Mum scolded.
"I didn't mean that! I smell and feel dirty so I'm having a shower and going to bed since I haven't been to sleep since the other day." I said.
Mum frowned at me.
"Anyway, we both know it would be a guy and not a girl." I smirked.
Mum grabbed a pillow and threw it at me.
"Go and have a early night you have school tomorrow." Mum said.
"Oh I'm so excited!" I said way to sarcastically.
"Just give it a go. You might make some friends." Shje said.
"Who would want to be friends with someone who says and does random stuff for no reason and can barely consintate on what their doing." I said.
"Don't put yourself down sweetie. Now go!" She said and I went up stairs had a shower and crawled into bed and was fast asleep.

---

I crawled out of bed after Erica jumped on me amd ran out the room before i could do anything.
I pulled on a flannel shirt with black skinny jeans and converses on and grabed my bag and hoodie and went downstairs.
"Next time you wake me up again Erica your dead." I said and kissed thw top of her head.
"Want me to come and sort everything out for you?" Mum asked.
I shook my head.
"I can manage just fine thanks." I said and grabbed an apple and walked over to mum.
"Now I know its hard but please try not to get kicked out of this school." She said.
"I'll try not too. See you later." I said and kissed her cheek and walked over to Erica and kissed the top of her head and slowly made my way to my new hell hole of a school.

I got to the office and walked in.
"Fuck." I said loudly thanks to this tic I've being trying to ignore while walking to school so people didnt look at me weird but it didn't really work as I couldn't stop clicking my tounge and twiching my head.
Someone looked at me.
"Are you okay?" They asked.
"Yeah, I just have a problem." I said and walked towards them.
"You the new person starting?" She asked.
I nodded not trusting myself to speak as something could offend her and that's how I got kicked out my last school and the fact I did beat someone up as well.
"Name?" She asked.
"Alexander Gaskarth." I said quickly but it didnt work.
"Whore." I said and the woman looked at me shocked.
"I-I can't help it." I said quietly and looked down.
"It's okay, we've all been told about your problems." She smiled and the head showed up.
"Alex how nice to see you!" She smiled.
I just smiled.
"Follow me to my office please." She said and walked off with me following.
We got to the office and I sat in the chair.
"I know what is wrong with you, your mother explained too us. The staff know as well so hopefully I won't be seeing your face in my office any time soon." She smiled.
I didn't say anything I was too busy trying not to say or do anything.
"I have managed to have someone to support you in your lessons you need help in. Your mother said you are very musical." She said.
I looked up and nodded.
"If it gets to much or you know your getting too disruptive in the lesson then you have my permission to go into one of the music rooms and play the guitar until you have calmed down enough to go back into lessons." She said
"Fuck you bitch." I said before I could stop myself.
She didn't seem to care what I have just said to her.
"I understand its going to be hard for you to settle in but just know I'm not going to give up on you. Your a bright young man and I hope that this school can bring it out of you." She said.
I smiled.
"Now, here's a map of the school and your tutor who you will go and register in the morning and afternoon. You'll also be having some lessons with your tutor as well. Here's your time table and locker number and code. Don't forget the code and don't show anyone." She said and I nodded.
"Here you go then. Want me to show me where your tutor is?" She asked and I nodded again.
She smiled and got up and I followed her lead and pretty much wolf whistled her. Christ this is really embarrassing.
But she just seemed to flip it off.

We got to my tutor and Miss Williams knocked on the door and waited.
A really tall guy with tattoos showed up and opened the door.
"Hello. I have Alex here. This is his first day at this school." She smiled and looked at me.
"Cunt." I said.
"Hello Alex, I'm Mr Carlile. Come on in then Alex." He smiled and moved out the way and I walked in and everyone looked at me.
I looked down and went somewhere where I could just hide and be a freak on my own.
"Right everyone stop looking at Alex as it is rude to stare at people. Also if Alex says anything which is offensive or a swear word or anything like that he cannot help it and it is best if you just ignore it." Mr Carlile said and I looked at him and smiled.
I noticed the boy from the office sat on the table looking at me.
"Jack! Get of the table and sit on a chair like a normal human." Mr Carlile said.
The boy got off the table and said something to his friends and made his way over to me.

"Tourettes boy?" He said and sat next to me.
"My name is Alex." I growled at him.
"I'm Jack." He said and offered me his hand.
I took it and he shook his arm gently.
"So, why you here?" He asked.
"Wanker." I said and Jack just chuckled.
"Well one is because off that and the other because I beat the shit out of some kid at my last school." I said.
"Why?" He asked.
I looked at him.
"It's personal. I don't feel like sharing my life story to some... Asshole." I said then sighed because like always tourettes always gets in the way.
"Hey, don't worry about offending me. I'll be seeing you around Alex." He smirked and walked back over to his friends.
I just sighed and looked down and just wished this day would be over.

It was the last lesson and I have spent the last two hours in this lesson and I was getting really fidgity and I couldn't stay still any longer.
I was sat next to Jack since it was the only sreat left since we all had to sit in certain seats.
I could tell Jack was looking at me as I was wiggling around in my seat.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked.
"ADHD." I said.
"Your seriously fucked up." He muttered.
"You would never fucking understand so I suggest you shut the fuck up about me." I growled.
"Touchy." Jack said.
"Say that again!" I shouted and stood up.
"Alex out of my class now." Mr Carlile said.
"With fucking pleasure." I snapped and picked my stuff and walked out the class slamming the door behind me.

I went to one of the music rooms and was quietly playing the guitar.
I heard someone open the door.
I looked up and saw Jack.
"The fuck do you want?" I asked.
Jack shut the door behind him and sat in front of me.
"I'm sorry for pushing you." He said and grabbed another guitar and began to play it.
"Not that you care." I said quietly.
I snorted which made Jack chuckle.
"So, what do you say and do with tics then?" He asked.
"Swear, whistle, clap, anything really." I said.
"And you get away with it?" He asked.
"Yeah, but when you get to know me better you learn when its the tics and when its actually me saying things but it'll mostly be tics." I said.
"So, do you have any siblings?" He asked.
"6 year old sister. Did have a brother but he has nothing to do with me, mum and my sister." I said quietly and looked down.
"Cunt." I said and kicked the wall.
"I sense a lot of anger." Jack said.
"Amd im not talking to you about it." I spat.
"I get that. But heres my number." He said and handed me a bit of paper.
"Thanks." I said.
He got up and smiled.
"If you want someone to hang around with at school then you can hang with me and my friends. I'm sure they'll like you." He said and walked out the room.
I sighed and carried on playing the guy until the Bell went for home.
