So hi guys, this is my first fanfic, it's about a made up character Effy who falls for Barry Barry obiously it's a Waterloo Road fanfiction, but tell me what you think :)


I sat up suddenly, awaking myself from sleep. I wiped my brow from sweat and looked over at the clock, it was only four in the morning; I didn't need to be awake for another two hours. From past experiences, I knew that there was no going back to sleep after the nightmares so with a sigh I got out of bed and walked over to my shower. Today was off to a terrible start.

My name is Elizabeth Jenkings, I'm 16 years old and what some consider 'pretty'. I have straight brown hair that's cascades past my shoulders, plum lips, white teeth, unearthly green eyes, and big boobs and a big bum. Things I apparently inherited from my mother, but I wouldn't know. She fucked off when I was only one, and now my dad has left me too, but he didn't want to go. I come from a city called Grays, which is located in Thurrock. Now, Thurrock itself is a shit-hole, officially the most saddest and depressed burrow in the whole of England, and then you have Grays. That's probably the worst part of Thurrock. But I grew up there, and even though my dad made shit-loads of enemies, I survived. Just. But that is the past and I would prefer to leave it there, so here I am; In my own flat in Scotland, about to start at Waterloo road.

After getting out of the shower, I walked over to my armoire and started putting on my makeup. I only wanted a little bit on so I only put on foundation, eyeliner and mascara, enough to look like I wasn't wearing any. I quickly blow dried my hair, putting my fringe into a French plait and clipping it back. I looked back at the clock and saw that it was 6:45, I must have had a longer shower than I thought. With a yawn I put on my school uniform and rolled the skirt up so it was just below mid-thigh length. I ruffled the black socks so they were below my knee and pulled on my cardigan. I looked in the mirror and assessed my uniform, it didn't look like I was trying too hard, but it didn't look like I had been dragged through a bush. It looked just right.

I walked into my kitchen at 7:15 and got a breakfast bar from the cupboard, after finishing it quickly I brushed my teeth and grabbed my bag, it was a plain white backpack, but I would soon change that. Walking back over to the kitchen, I grabbed my necessities; my keys, iPhone and headphones. I then picked up the extra little things on the side, I grabbed my lighter, which I only ever used to play with, a packet of cigarettes (I don't actually smoke but it turns out it's a good way to make friends) and a bottle of Malibu, because why the fuck not. I decided the day I moved up here that I wasn't going to be a goody two-shoes this time. New place, new start, new me and a new name. I decided to ditch 'Lizzy' because it sounds too much like a little sweet girls name, I'm sticking to Effy this time, of Ef for short. I grabbed my camouflage coat and I was gone.

I walked out of my flat into the communal lift, where and old man was already standing. As I got in I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when I realised he was staring at my arse. Lizzy would've tried to ignore it, but I am Effy now, I run this shit. I spun round and look him dead in the eye "Got a problem Old man?" I spat. He shook his head and got off at the next floor, leaving me in bliss in my own elevator. When I reached the bottom floor I saw an advertisement in the lobby for a ballet school around the corner. Note to self, go to ballet. I walked out of the building and into the streets, plugging my headphones in. I was listening to the new album by Bring Me To The Horizon it was called Sempiternal. Even though I only moved to Scotland two days ago, I already knew my way to the school, but I was walking, I started to panic. I was joining this school halfway through the year, people would already have friends and might not want me to join in, what if no-one likes me? I want to be part of the popular crew. What if i'm the first person there? What if they find out? However my thoughts were stopped when I walked into the school corner because luckily, there was already people there.


So yeah, thats the first chapter, urm, tell me any ideas or anything...
