Day One

Ianto Jones woke up at 06:15. A new start in a new school. After Lisa died, he made his parents move him away from London so he could start again. He wanted to forget all his memories. All the pain. All the hurt. He wanted to wash those memories into the air so they would leave his mind forever.

Jack Harkness woke up at 07:15. New year, new classes, but still his same old friends. Tosh, Owen and Gwen. Oh how he wanted someone new. Another lad maybe. He felt out of place. What with Owen trying to pull every girl under the sun, Jack felt on his own. He just wanted someone to be there. Someone he was able to talk to without having to distract them from whatever else was on their mind.

Toshiko Sato woke up at 06:30. She was happy to go back to school. She loved school. This year she was taking 4 GCSE exams early. She was especially bright. She also had a good bunch of friends - Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Owen Harper. Oh Owen. She had a major crush on the young medic wannabe. But he just didn't see it.

Gwen Cooper awoke at 07:15. The same time Jack did. She knew this for a fact. Since she started Torchwood Cardiff, she became majorly fond of the young American. Always following him. Always buying him his favourite things. Always telling her other friends that she was soon to become his girlfriend. She wouldn't stop. And it was beginning to get noticed by the others.

Owen Harper woke at 08:00. He was going to be late if he didn't get up now. First day back and he would have already received a detention. His mum would go spare! He shouldn't have had that much alcohol last night. He had a pounding headache. But it was his own fault. But he was happy to be seeing his best friends again. He had missed them over the holidays. And he wondered what this year was going to throw at him.
