Thought I'd do one on the friendships in the last year of school and what the future holds for some of the key students. There will be ups and downs. :) This will mainly concentrate on Barry (19), Jack (18), Connor (18), Kevin (18), Dynasty (18), Imogen (18) and Kasey (17).
Please let me know what you think! I have lots of ideas for this so feedback would be very well received! :) Hope you like it! :)
Chapter 1 - Back at School
It was the first day back at Waterloo Road and for many it will be the last.
Everyone was raring to go this year and were excited about what the future might hold. However, there was sadness as well as they would be saying goodbye to their best friends.
The last year had been a tough one for Barry Barry. He had finally come out to his friends and family and had started a relationship with Jack McAllister. His friends were very supportive of him and Jack, especially his sisters, but when he had told his mum she disowned him so he was now living with Jack and his mum Olivia.
Students started trundling through the school gates for their first day. Barry and Jack walked in hand in hand. They were greeted by a squeal by his two sisters who ran over to him. "Baz it's so weird without you at home!" Dynasty moaned hugging him. "Yeh mum's in such a bad mood at the moment!" Kasey said hugging him too. Barry chuckled, happy to see his sisters. "Sorry, it's probably all down to me!" He said. "You're not the one who has to apologise! It's mum who's the idiot!" Dynasty said. They then spotted their other three friends and went over to them. Dynasty ran to Kevin and gave him a quick kiss. "Hey babe!" She smiled. Kevin smiled back. "Hey gorgeous." He replied. Barry smiled to himself. He's the first to admit that he was against Kevin when he first started going out with his sister but he soon realised how much Kevin cared and loved Dynasty and realised he really was a decent guy after all. Dynasty then hugged Imogen as well. "Wow you really are in a huggy mood today!" Imogen laughed. Dynasty laughed too. "I'm just happy to get out of that house!" She said. They all then heard the bell and went to the hall for the first assembly back.
They all sat together in a row and Connor gave his mum a quick smile before she got up on the stage. Everyone went quiet. "Good morning everyone and welcome back! I hope you all had a lovely summer." She smiled. "However, this year is a very important one for most of you and I hope you will all work hard and make yourselves proud." She continued. "Right I think that's it. You may all go to your classes now and please behave!" She said. Everyone got up and looked at their timetables. The group of friends were really happy as they shared quite a few lessons together. Dynasty smiled as she watched Barry and Jack walk out of the hall holding hands. "Aren't they so cute?" She said to Imogen. Imogen laughed. "Yeh they make a good couple." She said. "Come on, we have English first with Mr Lowsley!" Imogen continued. Her, Dynasty, Connor and Kevin walked to English together and sat down at a table. They loved English but that was because of Mr Lowsley. He was such a good teacher. Everyone really liked him and respected him. Meanwhile, Barry and Jack had PE and Kasey had science with her year.
The first day was going quite quickly and before they knew it, it was lunch. They had all agreed to meet in the canteen as they were all in different lessons the period before. Barry and Connor arrived first having had Art. They got some food and then saved a table. "So it's going well with you and Jack then?" Connor asked. He had never been too close to Barry but over the year their group had grown closer as they supported Barry in coming out and they all really liked Jack. He was a good influence on Barry. Barry nodded. "The best. I can't imagine life without him now to be honest." he said before blushing. Connor smirked. "I'll tell him you said that!" "Don't you dare!" Barry laughed throwing a chip at him. Jack and Kevin were next to arrive and they too got some food and then went to join Barry and Connor. Jack sat next to Barry and Kevin next to Connor. The girls then arrived a few minutes later and joined them too, Dynasty giving Kevin a peck on the cheek and Imogen doing the same to Connor. Kasey then came in. She always felt a bit awkward as she was younger than her sister and brother and their friends and always felt they wouldn't want to hang around with her. She was wrong though. The group of friends were very fond of Kasey and Kasey was good friends with Jack because of football. Jack spotted Kasey by the door. "Hey Kas! Over here!" He shouted waving frantically. Kasey laughed and went over to them. "Hey!" She smiled. "Come join us!" Jack smiled and Kasey did. Harley and Lula later joined them but sat next to Kasey and the others didn't mind as they knew they were good friends with Kasey and had supported her through a lot.
Before they knew it, the bell rang again signalling time for their last two lessons. Barry groaned. "Already?" He moaned. Everyone laughed. "Come on babe! You want to do well in your exams don't you?" Jack laughed. Barry just grunted. "Suppose...But I don't have you for company in my last two subjects!" He moaned. Jack chuckled. "You should have taken History and Maths then!" He smirked. Barry's look of horror of his face made everyone laugh again. Barry and Jack were polar opposites when it came to subjects, only sharing one which was PE. "Come on you lot, chop chop!" Mr Lowsley said walking past them. They all started walking to their next lessons. Jack kissed Barry. "Meet outside after school?" Jack said. Barry nodded and then they parted ways. Soon their first school day was over.
Hope you enjoyed it and any comments would be appreciated! Would love to know what you think! :)
