DOCTOR WHO IS NOT OWNED BY ME! though I wish it was :I


SLAM!

The door boomed shut behind me as I sped out of the house, backpack in hand. I was sick of being taunted by my brother. I was sick of being tutted at by mum. I was sick of being bullied because I was different. I was running away from it all, no note, no change of clothes, just some food and money. I was wearing my school uniform still, black skirt and red blazer with a grey jumper, so I could have been recognized by anybody, but it was raining hard, so nobody would be outside. My feet pounded against the tarmac, splashing through puddles and skidding around corners. I had no idea where I was going, but anywhere was better than here.

I took cover in an alleyway next to the car park. I tried to get my thoughts together. I thought about where I could stay and whom I could trust. Lucy was too far away, Scarlett would sell me out, and Bertie would be bad at lying. Sam? Sam was an option, but I doubted he would take me in because his parents hated me. Annie? Annie would take me in, but her parents would call my mum.

Just as I was gathering up my backpack and getting ready to head back out into the street, something at the very end of the alleyway caught my eye. It was a police telephone box. We had learned about these in History at school. These things were in museums now because they were all taken down. What was one doing in the bottom of an alleyway? Intrigued, I stepped closer to it, running my fingers along the blue painted surface. Had some collector who no longer wanted it dumped it here? I gave a soft knock on the wood and pressed my ear up against the door.

Suddenly, the door flew open and I fell into the box, expecting to hit my head on the back wall. But I didn't. I looked up from the floor and saw a pair of feet. I looked up further and saw a man standing there. He had floppy hair and a slightly oversized nose. He looked down at me, smiling. "Hello," he said, holding his hand out. A crack of thunder boomed around the sky. "I'm the Doctor,"
