Chapter 1
I was walking down the halls of my new school. I couldn't believe it, I was actually in London. My dad got a job here, so I was going to be here for the rest of high school. I took a pretty big risk, leaving my friends and considering that I never studied the British way or whatever.
"Hi, I'm Hannah Walker!" A girl said to me when I was waiting in front of the principal's office.
"Elizabeth Hart," I introduced myself with a smile.
"I know, I'm gonna be your little buddy for your first few weeks here, and I can tell we're gonna be great friends!"
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Hannah," I said to her as she walked me to our first class.
"We're having English first. I won't be sitting with you, I'm sorry. But for this class you'll be sitting with my friend Liam," Hannah said as we walked into the classroom. "But I guarantee you, he's a really nice boy."
"Liam, meet new girl Elizabeth Hart. Elizabeth, Liam."
"You guys can call me Liz or Elle. Whatever floats your boat," I said smiling politely.
"Well it's nice to meet you Liz," Liam said. "I guess I'll be helping Hannah show you around."
"Hey babes," a guy who walked in with another student said to Hannah as he walked in. The other guy he was with looked hella badass. He had black hair, which was done up instead of down with a fringe like most guys these days and I could see on his left ear that he had 2 piercings. He was also wearing a leather jacket and a shirt that had a switch on it with the words "Please turn me on" which I thought was kinda cute. He seemed pretty shy, though.
"Hey," Hannah said. "This is Ellie."
"Louis," he said to me.
"Nice to meet you," I said smiling. By this time, my face was hurting a little bit from all the smiling. But hey, smiling's healthy. And also, it felt kind of nice to be smiling this much again.
"That was Zayn," Louis said as Zayn walked to his seat behind Liam and me.
"Class, please take your seats," the teacher said walking in.
"For the sake of our new friend here, I am Mrs. Davidson. Class, the girl next to Liam is Elizabeth Hart, she just transferred here from America, am I right?" Mrs. Anderson said.
"Yeap!" I said happily. I looked around the room and there were some people giving me those looks filled with hate. But others, like Hannah and the boys I had just met, didn't look at me that way. I thought at least I had a few friends it wouldn't be so bad here.
