Ok, here's the first part. I know they're very short chapters but there you go, that's just how the happened. Also...it may not yet appear to be fanfiction, but later it is so yeah, I am keeping to regulations :D enjoy!
It was the form room, just the same as usual. The same strange-yellow-coloured walls, the old stiff sliding windows, maps stuck round the walls and odd, old smell. Three girls came in together, giggling excitedly, and went to their places down the left-hand side.
In a way, there were the same people. A little older, a little more mature perhaps. new haircuts, new bags; new friendships in some places, but essentially they were all just the same.
Except maybe one person. This year, Tobias Willow was sitting by himself in a corner, staring at the desktop, earphones in place. He was a new person, and the others had noticed it. In between retellings of holiday adventures, people would glance over. "What's up with Toby?" they would ask, replied by a shrug, and after one more look at the almost perfectly still figure would return to their chatter.
None of them would ever guess what was different in him, or, at least, what had caused this change. None knew that what had happened to him, the huge thing which had changed his life forever, which now seemed like would weigh him down for the rest of his life, souring any good moments, because he knew the other side, the dark, miserable, hellish part to his existence.
But they did not know, and Toby was glad they did not, for although he had resigned himself to the life he was to lead from now on, and knew he would not keep his friends, and would be lonely.
The clock came to four minutes to nine, and knowing that this would be the exact minute the teacher would enter, he raised his head to the cloud of aimless talk, ready to start school.
