This is a new story idea I came up with so read and enjoy!:)
Chapter 1
Eliza's POV
Moving from London to Bradford was a really big thing thing for me. Away from my friends and family. Me, my dad and my sister moved to Bradford because my Dad got a job offer that was impossible for him to refuse.
My mum died last year, when I was 16 and my sister was 4. She was in a taxi when she was working away in Edinburgh when someone crashed into the back of the car and she died almost instantly. So this move was probably something we all needed.
We arrived at our new home. It was much bigger than our last house. I dragged my suitcase up the stairs and chucked it onto my bed which had been put here couple of days ago. My walls were blank and white whilst my room back in London were full of pictures and the walls were painted a bright pink colour and had a feature wall that was wall papered with a flowery design. This was going to need a hell of a lot decorating.
My dad helped me and my sister bringing boxes up to our rooms and unpacked as we went. My room and wardrobes were now full. Now all I had to do now was think about the dreaded first day at my new school. I'm starting half way through the year in December so that means even more attention will be brought to me. Great.
All the thoughts of how tomorrow could go for me, sending me into a deep slumber.
**NEXT DAY**
My alarm buzzed on, too early for my liking, at 7 o'clock, leaving me plenty of time to get ready, and make sure I looked at least reasonable for today. I jumped in the shower, then towel dried my hair as I left my en suite bathroom. I dried my mid-length light ash blonde hair, leaving it to hang in neat ringlets down my back and across my shoulders. I applied a layer of foundation to my face and brushed some mascara on my lashes, complimenting my bright green eyes which contrasted well my olive coloured skin tone.
I pulled on a pair of skinny acid-wash jeans and an one-shoulder baggy t-shirt and some navy blue vans. I studied my apprearance in my mirror before feeling a little bit better about going to school today. I grabbed my bag which I previously put my phone, keys make-up, etc. in, and left the house. I walked to school because it was only a 10 minute walk.
"Hey erm, you moved here yesterday didn't you?", I turned to see a tall, model-like boy with jet black hair jogging up towards me.
"Um, yeah, I'm Elizabeth, but everyone just calls me Eliza." I said, I was always shy meeting new people.
"Nice to meet you Eliza, I'm Zayn. Do you go to Kingston High?" He asked catching his breath from running over to me. He seemed really nice, the type of person I could really get along with..not like that though, he's not my type.
"Yeah, I'm really nervous" I said, starting to sound a little bit more comfortable with speaking to him.
"Well there's no need to be, since you've made a new friend already" He said ending with a cheeky wink. I giggled. What was I supposed to say back to that? We talked a little more on the way to school, just basicly getting to know eachother. He was a great guy to talk to. Funny, smart, and wasn't just flirting like other jackass guys usually would.
We got to the school and since I was new Zayn said I would have to go the head master's office to get my timetable so he walked me there, leaving me at the door because otherwise he would have been late for registration.
I knocked on the door lightly, the door creaked open a little. "Come in." A loud burly voice called so I walked in quietly shutting the door behind me.
"Ah you must be Elizabeth Charlton, the new student yes?", "It's Eliza" I corrected him. "Oh right, well here is your timetable and planner. Your first lesson is maths so I called for someone in your maths class to take you to your lesson with them. She should be waiting outside. That is all, bye Elizabeth" He said with a smile. I grunted at him clearly ignoring the correction of my name. I put my planner and timetable into my bag and left his office. A girl was waiting outside and she flashed me a big grin as she come over to me with her hand held out.
"Hiya, I'm Eleanor. Your Elizabeth right?" she shook my hand, still holding the wide grin on her face.
"Yeah, but everyone just calls me Eliza." I said, feeling no need at all to be shy with her as we were obviously going to be spending a lot of time together. We walked into our class and everyone just stared at me. Not what I wanted.
"Elizabeth!" My teacher sang joyfully. I hated when people call me Elizabeth but I let this one slide, I was tired of correcting people.
"Okay, so we only have one seat at the back of the room next to Liam so you'll have to sit there." She said pointing to the back of the room. I looked round the room for the empty space and sure enough it was next to the hottest guy in the class.
"Hi, it's Eliza right?" Liam whispered as the teacher started the lesson. "Yeah, you know you're the first person to get my name right today?" I said with a smile, he just chuckled at me.
We spent most of the lesson not really paying attention to what we were doing and just talking and messing around. I already was developing a bit of a crush for him.
Eleanor and Liam hang out with the same group of friends so I just stayed with them both when it was lunch time. I walked with her and Liam to their friends who were sitting around a bench that was situated under a tree. There she ran into the arms of who I presume is her boyfriend as they were currently eating eachother's faces off while I just stood there trying to keep my attention away from their PDA.
"Eliza?" A familar voice called out, I turned around to see Zayn. He went to sit next to the blonde boy that was eating all sorts of stuff that was in his bag and tapped the space on the seat beside him so I could sit. Liam sat on the other side of the bench and was giving Zayn weird glares. What's up with him?
"So Eliza, I'm guessing you already know Eleanor?" Zayn said gesturing towards her but when quickly looked away, noticing that she was still busy with her boyfriend.
"Yeah, she's in my maths so she took me from the head master's office. I know Liam from maths too", he nodded.
"So this here is Niall," he gestured towards to the blonde boy, "Heya!" Niall mumbled with the amount of food in his mouth and a thick irish accent. I waved at him, "and that's Harry." Zayn said with a chuckle. I looked over to Harry who was pulling Louis and Eleanor apart and give Louis a bone crushing hug. Everyone was just in fits of laughing at their obvious bromance.
So my first day so far seemed to be going pretty good, I had already made a few friends that were all really great people. I knew this was going to be a great place to get a fresh start.
So here it is.. a new story! and a long chapter to get it started :D Please review with thoughts and tell me if I should continue with this? Thanks for reading:)
