I lay in bed staring at the painting ceiling. Words swirled around my head. There was a new lad coming into my year from Oldham.
I wonder what he looks like, would he be nice, would he have a strong northern accent? All these questions we're going around in my head as I lifted myself from the bed and began to put my uniform on.
The bus stopped outside my house at precisely 8:00am, and I just got out in the nick of time. As I got on and took my seat an unfamiliar face catches my eye. He must be the new guy I thought to myself as I judged his appearance. His face was facing away from me so I couldn't see his face, but judging by his neatly brushed hair it was obvious he wouldn't be trouble.
I felt myself smile at him, he wasn't as tall as most boys in my year, but was just a bit taller than me. As I was making my way to biology I spotted the new boy standing in the middle of the hall looking down at his time schedule and then looking around, he looked confused. ''Do you need help?'' I asked after I walked up to him. He looked up from his time schedule and smiled at me awkwardly, I felt myself warm to him instantly, and he had the prettiest smile.
''Yeah…. I don't know we're the biology class is…'' he blushes. I look at his time schedule and my eyes brighten as I realize he's in the same one as me.
''Come with me, the next three classes you have are the same as mine.'' He smiles again and his sweet smile filled my heart, his teeth were so shiny and perfect they brightened up my soul. He has a floppy brown fringe which he moved from his blue moonlit eyes using a single finger. His hands we're so soft as he gently gripped onto my shoulder for a second as he thanked me. I led him to the class and he took his seat next to the trouble maker of the class Robert Williams. But everyone calls him Rob or Robbie. Robbie was the one who throws paper aeroplanes around the class and shouts out crude things randomly, he was also the joker and could be a right smart arse when he wanted to be.
I took my seat next to Gary. Gary was one of those lads who kept his head down and got on with his work, people would call him a 'Geek' just because he wasn't making a complete arse of himself in class. He is very quiet and you had to literally beg him to talk to you for him to reply back.
The class went quiet as Mr. Holmes came in. Mr. Holmes is our biology and maths teacher, he is tall and lanky, you had to listen carefully to him when he talks as he seems to mumble allot and it doesn't help that I'm right at the back. Mr. Holmes' face looked as if it had been melted somehow, his cheeks dropped down like a hound dog, his hair was as white as snow and his eyes as black as coal. He always seemed to wear the same clothes over and over again, He would have the same tead mark on his right arm sleeve every day. He's a miserable old git but a brilliant teacher when you listen.
''Okay, everyone start setting up the apparatus for the first experiment of the day'' He grumbled into his hands just after finishing yawning. ''You'll be put into groups of two. Boy, girl, boy girl. Understand?'' He looks down at the list of names in front of him. ''Okay. Before we do that I would like to welcome Mark Owen to the school, he's come all the way from Oldham.'' One or two people clap as Mark smiles slightly and lifts his hand in the air politely. ''Okay, I'm now going to group the partners together.'' There is a short silence as he looks down at the register again. ''Mark and Georgina. Over here'' Mr. Holmes points to the table next to him with the all the needed equipment lying across it. I grab my bag and walk towards the table. Mark walks over and sits next to me. As we begin the experiment I realize that I'm the only one doing the work, and Mark just sits there watching in amazement at what I was doing like he never saw something like this before. ''You're so smart.'' He says.
''No I'm not, this is dead easy.'' Mark shakes his head totally disagreeing.
''I could never do that.'' I look over at him
''Here you need to wear these remember?'' I giggle. Mark takes the glasses off me and puts them on, they keep slipping down his nose and it seems there slightly too big for him. This looks adorable. ''pass me the Bunsen burner'' I ask as I squeeze the last of the solution into the beaker of water. I have my hand stretched out waiting for it. When I look over at him I see he's looking in the cuboard next to him. ''Mark it was right in front of you.'' I laugh. Mark let's out the cutest laugh and sits back down. ''Oh sorry.'' We both laugh in unison.
''Mark Owen misbehaving on your first day?'' Mr Holmes says bitterly
''Sorry sir.'' He replies with a slight grin on his face.
''God Mark why don't you behave?!'' I hear Robbie saying from behind sarcastically ''on your first day to.'' Mark looks behind at Robbie at sticks up his two fingers. Robbie and Mark used to go to national school together and have been very close ever since.
Near the end of biology, I spot Mark unbuttoning his top buttons on his shirt and loosening his tie, tutting too himself and as he struggles with the top button. ''My mum always does this to my shirt and tie in the mornings.'' He moans. I snigger and shake my head ''Mums ey?'' As the bell rings I grab my bag and head out the door, a crowd of girls gather around Mark, twirling their fingers in their hair and giggling constantly poor Mark, all those bitches after him already, wow they move on fast. Jason, My best friends boyfriend grabs my hand and pulls me out from the group of girls that had trapped me.
''His first day and their already after him eh?'' I nod and shake my head.
''Sluts.''
Me and Jason laugh as we look at poor Mark who looks like he's suffocating from all the girls. Jason is one of those lads who gets one with pretty much anyone, he's a handsome guy with a toothy smile and an amazing jawline. He plays football, basketball, hockey … you name it he does it. His best friend Howard is the same, tall slender but not as slender as Jason and is sport mad, they're both inseparable always hanging out with each other. Howard had dark brown hair and the most amazing curls, his eyes are piercing blue like Jason and had the most gorg body.
''do you think I should help him?'' I ask Jason, also known as j and jase.
''If you wan't you'll have to show 'em to the next class won't you?''
''Oh yeah.'' I answer.
''See you later.'' J says as he walks away
''See you.'' I reply as I wait for Mark.
