First chapter of the sequel to Alone yay! This is set about a month after my last story so there are a few days until everyone has to go back to school. Hope you enjo (Carmen got fostered and will no longer be involved in the story, just wanted to get rid of her really And Erin turned 14 in the holidays, would sort of muck up the storyline otherwise.)
"Mike why can't I stay at my St. George's?" Erin moaned. "Because it's just too much trouble driving everybody to the junior and secondary school, then driving you to a separate one," Mike answered. "Fine!" Erin said, stamping her foot before storming out the office. "Hey what's up with you?" Rick asked as he approached his annoyed girlfriend. "Mike won't let me stay at my school he says I have to join your one," She answered.
"Well there shouldn't really be a problem with that should there?" Rick said, grinning. "Why not," Erin said, confused. "Because you'll be able to be with me and hopefully the same class." Erin thought about. "Oh yeah," she said, smiling, "maybe it won't be that bad."
"What'd ya mean maybe," Rick said, tickling her. "No get off me!" Erin screamed while laughing. "Please stop!" She begged, tears of laughter running down her face. "Never!" Rick shouted, continuing the torture.
Five minutes later he'd finally let Erin go. She hit him on his arm. "Ow, you do know I'm recovering from a brain tumour right now?" Rick said, protectively holding his arm. "Oh I'm so sorry," Erin said sarcastically, "I forgot you still suffered from something you got rid of over a month ago!"
Rick laughed as they walked into the lounge. Everyone was lazing around in their pyjamas as it was Saturday. Rick groaned. Saturday. Two more days until they had to go back to school. Great.
"Right Faith, Erin, Rick, Electra, Sam and Frank you're all coming with me to get new uniform, the others all fit their old ones," Tracy said, entering the room. "Great," Rick said, getting up. "Good to know your happy to be going back to school Rick," Tracy said, laughing. "I can't wait," Rick said with the least amount of emotion possible. Erin laughed at her boyfriend.
The five teens piled into the minivan. Erin, Sam, Rick and Frank in the four seats at the back, Electra and Faith in front of them. "How bad is your school uniform?" Erin asked. "Actually for a school uniform it's pretty decent," Electra said, turning around. Everyone nodded in agreement. "And we mean compared to some of the other schools round here," Rick said, thinking of St. Mary's with their tartan skirts, ties and trousers.
Soon enough they arrived at the uniform shop. "Where's St. John's uniform then?" Erin asked, glancing at the disgusting outfits around her. "Over here," Rick said, taking her hand and leading her over to racks of black clothes. "Your right, this isn't actually that bad," Erin said, picking up a white blouse, a black jumper with the school logo on it, a pair of black tights and a black skirt. "Do I have to wear a tie?" She asked, as everyone did at St. George's. "Nah, only boys." Rick said, picking up his uniform.
About half an hour later all the uniform had been bought and they were on the road back to Elm Tree. "So what classes and everything is there at your school?" Erin asked. "We'll find out when we get back," Faith said. "What do 'ya mean?" she asked, slightly confused as was Sam. "We get letters sent to us, explaining our timetables and form class, usually our form is the same but the number changes so for example I'm in year 12 now, the last year so my form last year was 11DT, now its 12DT," Faith explained to the confused girl. "What does DT stand for?" Erin asked. "Teachers initials," Frank said as they pulled up at Elm Tree.
When they walked in Mike was stood in the lounge about to tell everybody their classes for Monday. "Guy's you've arrived just in time I was just about to tell everyone their forms." Mike said as they all sat down.
"Right so Harry I'm not sure about yours yet as your still in juniors but Jody you're in form 7FE, Tyler and Tee in form 8ED, Johnny and Sam you two are in 9BD, Rick and Erin you're in 10BR, Frank and Electra 11YN and Faith 12DT," Mike said, handing everyone their timetables.
Erin and Rick studied theirs before asking each other what lessons they had. "You're in the same as me for pretty much everything except maths and science you're a set higher than me so I'll find someone in our form who can take you," Rick said, happy that he and Erin were together for most things.
(Advanced by a few hours.)
Dinner had just finished. Erin was sat in her room practising her guitar. Since Carmen left she felt free in her room and she could do stuff without feeling like someone was watching her the whole time.
Electra came in and slumped onto a beanbag next to Erin. "Hey," Erin said, without looking up from her guitar. "Can't believe we've actually gotta go back to school on Monday," Electra said, groaning. "I know," Erin said, putting down her guitar, "its all gone too quick." "I know right a couple of months ago I'd only just met you." Electra said.
"Obviously, there's been some bits I'd of rather missed out, like Rick's cancer but this summer has honestly been the best summer of my life," Erin admitted, "I mean, I met all of you, my boyfriend, good friends like Sam, the boys who've been brothers to me like Frank and Tyler and my best friend, Electra." Electra looked up smiling. "You really mean that?" She asked, still smiling. "Of course I do!" Erin said, hugging her, "I can tell you anything Electra and you've always been there for me I honestly don't know what I'd do without you." "Thank you," Electra said, happily.
And there's the first chapter! Finally moved away from miserable and sad things for now. Thank you to everyone who enjoyed and reviewed my last story, hope you'll like this one just as much! Darc
