I had this story in my head for weeks, so I thought I better write it before it slips away from my mind! Enjoy!

Ianto checked himself in the mirror for the hundredth time in the last ten minutes. It was his first day in Torchwood high Cardiff, since the incidence in Torchwood London. The torture Ianto had been through to help Lisa his Girlfriend. Ianto couldn't afford to keep those memories, for better or for worse, he wanted to get rid of them. He's been given a second chance, so he was going to make a good impression of himself. The new uniform suited him better than the other one. This uniform wasn't posh as the other one, Ianto liked it. He became tired of looking like a butler, the only good side to his old uniform was it made him feel like James Bond. Now he was wearing black trousers, White dress shirt with a red/yellow striped tie, With a grey jumper to finish it off.

Ianto smiled to himself in the mirror, sorting out his ruffled hair into it's perfect shape. "Perfect" Ianto spoke taking grab of his bag, making his way down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Morning sweetheart" His mam said preparing his breakfast on the worktop.

"Morning Mam" Ianto replied taking his seat on the table with his sister Rhiannon also there.

"Good luck in your new school Ianto, you're going to need it if you're going to do the same thing you did to Lisa in your old school" Rhiannon sniggered

"Rhiannon! Don't talk to Ianto like that!" His mam shouted causing Ianto to wince from the sound level.

"It's true! I'm surprised he even made it into this new school!"

"You don't mean that so say sorry!"

"Sorry Ianto" Rhiannon whispered, then continuing to eat her breakfast.

"Thanks Mam" Ianto thanked when he was passed his breakfast.

"Any time Hun" She replied kissing Ianto on the forehead. "I have to admit you look much better in this uniform than the other one. I can tell you are going to fit in!" His mam said causing Rhiannon to laugh. "That's annoth Rhiannon!"

Ianto couldn't bear it in here anymore, he needed to escape to his school. To get away from his annoying little sister. "Bye Mam" Ianto called out rising to his feet.

"So soon? I mean you havent even touched your food!" She indicated to the un touched toast on the table.

"Wasn't hungry" Ianto replied "Maybe because I'm starting school again today, you know fresh start"

"Maybe, anyway enjoy today sweetie" she spoke pulling Ianto into a hug, placing one of her loving kisses on his forehead.

"I will mam" He replied pulling his bag over his shoulder, making his way out of the door to his blue Ferrari. Inside Ianto glanced to his watch 8:00 he was going to be late, on his first day!


It took Ianto a good 20 minutes to find Torchwood Cardiff high school, but when he found it he had another task. Find a parking space. Ianto sighed setting in the right gear and driving forwards. Inside the car park, it was buzzing with cars 'Great' he thought. Ianto drove round the car park in a circle, till he found a spot. Ianto sighed in satisfaction, he finally found a parking space.

Ianto carefully parked the blue Ferrari, checking his space. Ianto opened the car door pulling out his bag with him. Ianto was about to lock the car but got cut off, by a massive black SUV driving to the spot next to him. The passenger door opened to reveal a boy a little older than Ianto, short black hair, not wearing most of his uniform with his t-shirt sleeves rolled up.

"Shit!" The boy spoke pulling the car door away from Ianto's Ferrari. Ianto sighed there was now a dent. Perfect!

"Sorry mind Owen, he's a prick" A taller boy spoke standing next to Owen.

"Thanks Harkness!" Owen shouted, walking away with a Japanese girl following.

"Sorry about that" The boy spoke to Ianto. His hair was longer ruffling in one direction, he was wearing the same as Owen except he had his tie on real loose, when Owen didn't have one at all.

"No Problem" Ianto replied. Ianto's knees went numb when he saw him smile. Was he falling for him? He never had these feeling for Lisa, it was strange.

"I'm Jack by the way, Jack Harkness" Jack introduced giving out his hand.

"Jones' Ianto Jones" Ianto replied taking hold of Jack's hand to take a firm shake. He had that strange feeling again, electricity running through his veins.

"Nice to meet you Jones, Ianto Jones" Jack replied causing Ianto to blush. Did he just blush? He never felt so alive in months, he had a strange feeling for Jack.

"This your first day?" Jack asked

"Uh yeah, been transferred from Torchwood London" He replied

"How come?"

"Well-" Ianto began but a girl jumped in, long black hair, gap in between two front teeth, black skirt with tights, t-shirt and tie, and jumper wrapped round her waist.

"Come on Jack! The other two have already left" The girl spoke tugging Jack's shirt. Jack sighed glancing to the girl.

"Okay..." Jack sighed, turning back to Ianto. "See you later?" Jack asked but got pulled away from the girl.

What just happened? Ianto thought making his way to the reception.


"Hello I'm Ianto Jones" Ianto said to the receptionist with blonde hair look up.

"Hello Ianto I have been excepting you, I am Mrs Tyler, people come here when they need help with there needs." Mrs Tyler explained "Any way here's your time table and planner" She passed Ianto his planner and time table. "Your formal tutor is Mr Smith, you will find him in E10, that's where the rest of your new tutor group will be waiting for you" She replied.

"Thank you" Ianto thanked causing her to smile.

"Any time, you better be off to your new class, let Mr Smith know you are here"

"Yes, right thank you" Ianto spoke making his way to the right, but turning back. "Um me again, where's E10?"

"Oh right sorry so rude of me! Any way it's in the science block which is in that direction" She pointed to the left.

"Thank you" He thanked again.

"Any time" She called out to Ianto who headed to the science block.


Ianto placed a small knock on E10, then entered to find his tutor standing in the front with his tutor group gathered round the tables.

"Ah you must be Ianto! I was told we were having a new student in are tutor group! More the merrier I say! I am Mr Smith head of Science, I send smiles all round to people, you know it is nice to smile! Any way annoth about me" Mr Smith spoke turning his attention back to the rest of the class. "Alright class this is Ianto Jones just came from Torchwood London, starting fresh here, so lets make him feel welcome! Would any one mind letting Ianto shadow them for the next few days? So he gets his bearings" He asked, getting a hand rise straight away.

"Wow im surprised to see Harkness actually help someone!" Mr Smith joked

"I'm Hurt" Jack replied pretending to be hurt, causing the rest of the class to laugh at him.

"Okay then you shall follow Mr Harkness" Mr Smith announced making Ianto's head shot up. Ianto scanned the room to find Jack sitting there with his hand up, grinning.

Shall I continue? -Jaggerz
