Samantha Nixon is 15 and just about to start at Sun Hill House, the local private school.

Philip Hunter is also 15 but goes to Sun Hill Comprehensive.

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

A friendly face and a hot steamy mug of hot chocolate woke Sam, she rubbed her eyes and stretched.

'Morning sweetheart!' Harriet Nixon cooed to her daughter, 'First day at your new school!'

'Yeah, mum, now can you leave me to get dressed!' Sam whispered sternly.

'Ok, ok I know you're nervous but there's no need for that tone with me, so downstairs in 15 minutes or you'll be late!' Harriet vigorously told off her daughter.

'O-kay!' Sam shouted throwing off the covers angrily.

Sam was dreading another school, this would be the 12th school she'd been to in 3 years, she hoped this time they would be able to stay.

Sam got showered and dressed and went downstairs. Her mother was waiting at the kitchen counter looking at her watch.

'You really were…timing me weren't you!' Sam asked

'You got here quick you still have 5 minutes, anyway that gives me time to tell you a few rules!' Harriet said, watching her daughter's face fall. 'One study hard, two be good and don't get into trouble and finally never get involved with the Sun Hill comprehensive kids they have a bad reputation and definitely don't get friends from that school and I will disown you if you get a boyfriend from there!' she joked

Sam sighed, 'I wouldn't dare, mum!'

'Good, now let's get on our way to a new future!' Harriet told Sam dragging her bag off the counter and walking towards the car.

Sam gulped, 'Another time and another place maybe but not here.'

'What was that?' Mrs Nixon shouted from the car.

'Nothing mum, I didn't say anything!' Sam shouted back innocently.

'Come on, Sam, hurry up!' shouted Mrs. Nixon starting the engine.
