I have started this one really late so please forgive me if it isnt my best. Peri and Tom requested story. Again if you wanna see any more chapters pls let me know by reviewing. Also any ideas to include within this story that you'd like to see or any improvements. Might keep this as a one shot, but it depends on whether you like it or not. Please forgive me if the writing doesnt seem realistic enough, we havent really seen that much of Tom and Peri being together so i havent really got that much inspiration to start this story with. All rights to Hollyoaks apart from this story. Thanks :)

(Also, i think i might make this as the first day at Hollyoaks College/High School or whatever its called when Peri and Tom meet. Some roles have changed also, like some teachers have different jobs and so on) -Sorry its quite short.

Peri's Day

''Have a good day sweetheart'' the blonde spoke to her 'daughter'.

''Will do, thanks mum'' the brunette replied, hugging her 'mother'.

''You will let us know how your day has gone, wont you?''

''Yes dad!''

The bell rang through the court, indicating it was the warning bell for the start of the first day at Hollyoaks High School.

Peri sighed, hugged both her 'parents' and slowly but surely nervously strolled to the front of the High School, just about hearing two 'good lucks' in the distance.

She then waved at them as she reached the double doors of the building.

As she was still uncomfortable and nervous, she kept her head bowed as she continued to stroll through the building.

When she walked around the corner, she had bumped into a student.

''Ey! Watch where ya goin' '' came the high voice of the one and only Finn O'Connor.

Robbie just looked at Finn and then nodded to Peri and snarled, glaring at her. ''What he said''

Peri then felt tears gradually building just at the back of her eyes.

''Aw is the little girl gonna cry?'' Robbie teased, causing Finn to laugh. ''What you gonna do? Phone your mummy and see if she will arrest me?'' Finn caught on.

Peri just shook her head. ''Please, dont be nasty to me its my first day'' she whispered as she began to walk over to her designated locker.

''Er nah, you aint goin nowhere, got it?'' the scouse continued.

''Yeah'' Robbie nodded as they began to corner Peri. Just as they got closer and she closed her eyes, someone had interrupted them.

''Leave her alone!''

''Ah yeah? You gonna start or what? Bring it on!'' Finn spat, getting into the boy's personal space.

''I said, Leave. Her. Alone.'' he spat back, standing his ground.

''Wanna make me?'' he taunted.

The bell had then rang and signalled the start of lessons and Finn sighed, turning to his partner in crime and then turning to Peri and the boy. ''This isnt over!'' he spat once more, pointing to each of their faces.

As soon as both Robbie and Finn had left, Peri sighed out of relief and turned to her locker to put the books she didnt need for the first lesson in and closed it. She then turned to the boy who was standing still in the spot the two other boys had left him in.

The boy smiled. Peri smiled back awkwardly. The boy took this as his opportunity to introduce himself.

''They're not really nice to anyone, them you know'' he stated. ''They used to tease me when i was new here, probably to get a reputation. Anyway'' he continued, holding his hand out in greeting. ''Im Cunningham'' he flustered. ''Er... Tom Cunningham.''

Peri laughed ''Have you been watching too much of James Bond or somethin'? Anyway..'' she sighed. ''Nice to meet you Tom. Thank you for sticking up for me, Im Peri Lomax'' she smiled and shook his awaiting hand.

''Nice name'' he complemented, blushing.

''Thanks'' she smiled.

''Erm, can i ask what lesson you have first?'' Peri asked.

''I have Maths. What about you?''

''I think i have the same'' she smiled.

''Follow me then'' he smiled, leading the way with his hand and introducing everything they had both come across.

As soon as they both had reached their Maths class, their teacher got a bit hacked off. ''Mr Cunningham, why are you so late?'' he shouted.

Tom sighed to himself and looked at his watch. They were both only 5 minutes late. The teacher always did this to him, it was like he was just the only student who he had a grudge for. He was known as big old mean nasty Mr Patrick Blake.
