Never the Same Again
Chapter 1
Johan stood and stared at the large stone building. The Iron Gate to the small back garden was rusted and looked as though it would creak and collapse if anyone touched it. He walked down a small slope leading from the road, past the back garden and to the front of the house which overlooked a neglected orchard.
Sighing Johan pushed the front door open, why did they have to move in the first place? Everything was fine where they were before.
Johan closed the door silently behind him and forced a smile as his mother walked past him with a cardboard box in her arms; her emerald gaze shone as she walked past the open window and her dark hair was tied in a loose ponytail.
"Johan? Could you go back outside and help your dad with the rest of the boxes? There's so much stuff here I don't know what's what." She smiled at him lovingly before making her way through the living room door and into the kitchen.
Johan's smile faded slightly as he turned around and headed back through the front door and past the small cottage. He slowly walked up past a small paddock and headed up to a flat dirt area where the cars were parked.
"Argh! You little-!"
Johan looked up as he neared his mother's and father's cars and the small red van that their dogs were in, "What's up dad?" Johan jogged up to his father who was unloading one of the cars.
Johan's father straightened himself up and looked down at his son. He had the same hair as Johan but his eyes were a deep hazel. "I knocked the figgin' boxes over."
He ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "Could you let the dogs out in the field? I have to get the rest of the stuff inside and they keep barking every time they hear a noise." He reached deep into his pocket and threw a bunch of keys into Johan's open hands.
"Come on guys. Time for a run. Zac! Dexter! Deeds!" Johan unlocked the van and poked his head through the back doors. "Hey guys!" he clambered inside and closed the doors behind him.
At the sight of Johan the three dogs wagged their tails and jumped all over him; licking his face and yapping with excitement. Johan laughed as he tried to push the two Bulldogs and Alsatian off of him so that he could breathe.
"Come on then." Johan clipped a lead onto each of the dog's collars and lead them from the small van and into one of the nearby fields. Immediately after Johan unclipped the leads the dogs ran full pelt to the bottom of the field and ran straight back up to him. Johan grinned and ran back to the bottom of the field with them, laughing when Dexter suddenly forgot how to stop and ran full speed into a bush.
"Dex! Come on boy!" Johan slowed to a jog and helped the slightly overweight dog from the think bush.
After running around like a mad man for over half an hour Johan led the dogs back to the van and locked them safely inside before heading back into his new home.
He didn't really know why but being with the three dogs made him feel better.
They were his 'other' family and whenever he was upset or angry he would go and sit with them.
He slowly made his way up the unfamiliar staircase and to the room that he would soon call his own.
'It's…big…' Johan thought as he stood in the middle of the empty room, he stared at the plain walls and turned to the window, '…nice view though.'
From his new room Johan could see the orchard, paddock, pond and fields that surrounded the house. Sighing once again Johan decided he would continue looking around the house.
There were five other bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs which surprised Johan a little bit. Why did they need so many rooms? The house was big enough as it was.
"Johan!"
Johan turned his head to the stairs before jogging down them and running through the living room and into the kitchen.
"What's up?" he asked while trying to dodge a large table that was being carried in by four muscular delivery men.
Johan's mother looked up from a small cage, "There you are. Would you do me a favour?"
Johan simply nodded as his mother handed the cage over to him, "Take Scooby upstairs. Get him settled okay?"
Johan watched as his mother disappeared through the backdoor before heading back upstairs and into one of the rooms that he had discovered earlier.
Kneeling down on the floor Johan opened the small cage allowing a terrified looking ball of white fluff out.
"Come on you." Johan lifted the soft white cat into his arms and cradled it like one would do to a child; the cat relaxed a little and began to purr.
"Hey…Johan? You in here?"
Johan turned his head around to see his foster sister sticking her head around the now slightly open door.
"Oh! You are here." She smiled warmly as she entered the room; closing the door behind her, and crouched down beside him.
"Is everything okay Kade?" (Kay-de) Johan placed Scooby on the floor and they both watched as he crawled to the corner of the room.
"Yeah, your mum sent me up to ask if you fancied some chips for tea." Kade's strong Yorkshire accent made Johan smile.
"Chips? Yeah why not." He grinned as he lifted himself from the floor. "Are we going to pick them up?"
Kade nodded as she returned the cat to his small cage. "Your granddad's drivin'. Said he needs us to remember the way back."
Johan took the cage into his arms as they both made their way back to the kitchen.
"Mum? I'm leaving Scooby in the kitchen okay?"
"Okay! I'm in the bathroom! Your granddad's in the car waiting alright?"
"Right! See you in a bit!"
JXJ-JXJ-JXJ-JXJ-JXJ-JXJ-JXJ-JXJJXJ-JXJ
"Well…that was fun." Johan's grandfather laughed heartily, "Better find the right road this time before the food goes cold eh?"
"That's it! The turn with the cabbages!"
Johan turned to the back of the car, "Kade. They're not cabbages."
Kade shrugged, "Oh well. Got us on the right road didn't I?" she laughed.
"We're back!"
Johan, Kade and Johan's grandfather made their way from the front door and into the kitchen.
"You took your time!" Johan's father entered the room laughing, "I'll dish out."
After deciding that the kitchen was too cluttered to eat in, Johan's mother sent everyone outside to sit in the paddock.
"Get your nan and granddad. Their chips are going cold." Johan grabbed a handful of chips before nodding and running towards the small cottage that was joined onto the end of the house.
"Nan! Granddad! Your chips are out here!"
The sound of muffled yelling came from inside the cottage before a dark haired woman appeared with a look on her face that Johan compared to a thunder cloud.
"Err…you alright nan?"
"Bloody hell Errol! Hurry up! Everyone's waitin'!"
Johan stifled a laugh as his granddad made his way through the front door in a vest top, shorts and sandals.
"What are you wearing?!" Johan grinned.
"He thought it'd be hot didn't he?" Johan's grandmother answered for him.
"Come on Gail! Chips!" The portly man jogged to the paddock with his wife shaking her head as she followed at a slower pace.

Johan lay awake in his cold new room. 'Everything's so different…'
He rolled onto his side and buried his face into his blanket. '…and I have school tomorrow…we only just got here!'
Unable to sleep Johan lay awake for what seemed like an eternity.
I can't drop you off at school so you'll have to catch the bus alright?
Johan shook his mother's voice from his head and turned onto his back so he could stare at the white ceiling.
Johan sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly, 'Me and Kade didn't even want to move…we never even got to see the house!'
Johan took a deep breath bit his bottom lip slightly.
'It's all gonna be fine. Fresh start. New life. Everything's gonna be okay.' Johan reassured himself, 'Besides, how bad can a new school be? And Kade's there too.'
Satisfied with the thought that the following day would turn out alright Johan drifted into a silent slumber.
JXJ-JXJ-JXJ-JXJ-JXJ-JXJ-JXJ-JXJJXJ-JXJ
"Errrr…woah…" Kade looked the large building up and down, straight before them a large cluster cherry blossoms stood proud and numerous school children stood beneath them; allowing the falling petals to land on them.
Johan was lost for words, their new school seemed huge but maybe it was just because it was their first day and they had no idea where to go next.
"So…where's the office?" Kade turned to Johan who merely shrugged in response.
"One sec, I'll ask someone." Johan scanned the area around the main gates and trees for a friendly face, he spotted a boy around his height with spiky black hair and proceeded to walk towards him.
"Erm…excuse me? Do you know where the office is?"
The dark haired boy looked Johan up and down with a confused look on his face before turning to his group of friends and laughing.
Johan groaned and moved back to his sister. "I don't know where the office is." He stated.
Kade giggled, "Come on. We'll just have to look around and see what we find eh?"
Johan nodded and smiled at her; the two of them were pretty much opposites, Kade was lively, outgoing, optimistic and was always very popular whereas Johan tended to be a little more pessimistic, strongly disliked going out without a good reason and only had a couple of friends.
It took the two around five minutes to find the main office. When they arrived they explained that they were new and they didn't have a timetable and they didn't know where to go. The woman behind the desk didn't even smile, she simply asked what year they were in. Handed them a timetable and told them what class they were in.
"What was with her? She obviously doesn't like her job!" Kade joked while looking at her timetable. "Oh well, I'll see you later then? I have to go to…N2. Wherever that is." Johan smiled and waved his goodbye to Kade as he set off in search of room CR2.
10 minutes later
Johan looked up to the bright yellow door with a little board nailed beneath the window. 'CR2'
"Finally…" Johan tapped the door lightly and waited for a reply. When there wasn't one Johan knocked a little louder. Still nothing.
"SIT IN THE CENTRE!"
Johan jumped back in surprise as the entire room filled with noise. "…um…"
Johan knocked on the door again, this time a tall white haired man opened the door and looked down at Johan.
"Yes?"
Johan held back a giggle, the man looked like a living werewolf. He had thick black eyebrows and hairy ears.
"Oh, yeah. I'm Johan Anderson. I'm new here."
"Oh! Well come in. Just stand at the front of the class for a moment."
Johan did as he was told and followed the man inside and stood by his desk at the front of the class.
"Year ten Slifers! SIT IN THE CENTRE!"
A hush came over the classroom as they noticed Johan standing at the front of the class. "Um…hi." Johan smiled sheepishly as the teacher stood beside him.
"Class we have a new student joining us today. Feel free to ask him any questions." The teacher turned to Johan, "My name is Mr Sharples, just introduce yourself to the class while I find you a seat."
Johan stared at the class who blankly stared back. "Hi, my name's Johan Anderson. Um…it's nice to meet you."
"Is that your natural hair colour?" a blonde haired girl called out.
Johan nodded, "Yeah-"
"Where're you living now?" another asked.
"Err…" Johan blinked as the class began throwing random questions at him.
"What's your favourite type of music?"
"Favourite film?"
"Do you like skateboarding?"
"Are you wearing make-up?"
"That's enough for now. Johan you can sit over there okay?" Mr Sharples pointed to as desk at the back.
Laughing nervously and rubbing his head Johan made his way to his new seat.
