This is my first Waterloo Road fanfic! As you know I don't own anything or any of the characters, apart from Taylor who I purely thought of in my mind. I think Kyle's a great character and I thought of doing a Kyle/OC because I really want him to be with someone! Ignore my unnecessary ramblings- basically, I hope you enjoy it!
"This is her." Karen nodded towards the blonde girl who was strutting through the school gates, giving anyone that so much as glanced her way a death glare.
"I see what you mean about her potentially being a disruption." Chris sighed. "What's her background?"
"That's what I want to find out." Karen answered, moving forwards to greet the newcomer.
Could they be any more obvious? I ignored the heads swivelling to look at me and my 'personalised' uniform. Let them stare.
I groaned quietly as a saw two people walking slowly towards me. What was this? The world's worst welcoming party?
"Taylor?" I came to a halt in front of Mrs Fisher, who I'd met a few weeks back. "Come straight to my office when the bell rings for a... chat." I rolled my eyes and saw the young male teacher stood next to her open his mouth, presumably to tell me off for 'insolence'. One glance from the headmistress and he stayed silent.
"Of course, Mrs Fisher." I said sweetly. I glanced at both of them innocently, before moving away.
I received more looks, the girls either sniggering behind their hands or staring at me nervously, the boys wolf whistling and making crude comments, or slipping carefully out of my way. There was a lump in my throat I couldn't quite ignore. Was this really the facade I wanted?
I couldn't help but nibble my lip, nervously. It didn't have to be this way, I could just fit in, forget everything else...
No. I'm not weak.
"Alright, gorgeous?" A cocky boy winked at me as his mates smirked. I sighed and let the thoughts slip out of my mind.
"Fine thanks." I said emotionlessly.
"I'm Finn. Finn Sharkey." He said proudly. I stared right back at him, unimpressed. He looked at me, obviously disgruntled by my lack of response. "So what's your name?" he asked, winking again.
"Is there something wrong with your eye?" I asked innocently. A few of his friends gave a cough of laughter, earning them a glare I'd be proud of.
"Don't you get the message? She doesn't want to know." A tall boy called from further down the wall Finn and his friends were leaning against.
"Shut it, Kyle. What is it, do you fancy the pretty new girl? Too bad she'd never want to go out with a psycho like you." Finn jeered. I glanced at Kyle. His jaw was tight but he looked away, not meeting my eye.
"Come on babe," Finn turned back to me, looking satisfied. "What you doing tonight?"
"You don't even know my name." I accused him. He raised his eyebrows.
"Alright, what's your name?" he asked, rolling his eyes.
"I'm Taylor. Pleased to meet you." I held out my hand for him to shake. The surrounding students smirked at my strange form of greeting. He stared at down bemusedly, before looking quickly around, then grabbed my hand.
Within a split second, I had his arm twisted up his back, causing him to let out a yelp of pain.
"Don't you ever insult people like that again, or we'll see how you like it when I happily humiliate you even more." I whispered menacingly in his ear. Then I dropped his arm like it had burned me, shot him a disgusted look, and shoved through the laughing crowd
"That was genius." An extremely pretty girl with red plaits fell into step with me, smirking.
"Oh." I said simply. No gratitude, no pride. She didn't seem fazed by my unwillingness to talk.
"Well done." She laughed. "He's so cocky. He needs someone to put him down once in a while."
"It was only because he insulted that Kyle guy." I said. That was my hint to find out more about him.
The smile slipped off her face.
"Be careful round him yeah? My mum's the head teacher. She's had a few... issues with him in the past. And his first day at school gave him a pretty bad rep."
"Oh." I turned around. He was the other side of the playground now. He didn't fit in, skulking around by himself.
"Anyways, I'm gonna catch up with my friend Vicky." she smiled. "I'm Jess by the way."
What was I doing? Friends were not what I came for, and they wouldn't help my image later.
"Right." I said abruptly. She looked confused, but I turned away before I could feel guilty. At least I'd let her down early. Sighing, I found my attention making its way back to Kyle, who was still slouching around on his own, hands in pockets, looking surly.
What was my obsession with this boy? I'd already told myself not to get too attached to anyone- least of all someone who I knew nothing about, and didn't look too willing to make friends. But I couldn't ignore the words that swirled round my mind, taunting me- he looked troubled. That's why I was interested.
As the shrill sound of the bell caused me to wince, a slither of doubt was in my mind. This act was going to be a whole lot harder to hold up than I'd thought.
Hope you liked the first chapter! Sorry it's not very exciting. Reviews make me smile :)
