Chapter One.
Disclaimer - All I own in this is Charlene Taylor, my storylines and any unrecognised characters. Everything else belongs to Shed Media.
A/N - This is a Michael/OC fanfic. There'll be mentions of a Student/Teacher relationship. Charlene is my OC. She and Michael get together after he helps her out with some problems she has in her home life. I've written Max Tyler fanfics before so I want to try and write a Michael fanfic.
I love hearing what you guys think.

"Michael, there's a new student joining today. Her name's Charlene Taylor. She's quite troubled," Sian informed Michael. She knew he had a thing for turning troubled students around. She had hoped that he could work on Charlene too.
"Troubled how?" Michael asked.
"Expelled from previous schools. Has a habbit of being loud and quite gobby," Sian stated. Deep down, this girl sounded like a female version of Barry Barry.
Michael sighed and looked at Charlene's file. "I'll have a talk with her when she's settled in. No harm in letting her settle in," he said. He wouldn't accuse the girl without seeing her in action.

Charlene walked into Waterloo Road. Immediately, the boys started whistling. "Sod off."
"Miss Taylor?"
Charlene turned to see a man who looked to be 36. "I'm Mr Byrne. Headteacher here. Could you follow me?" Michael asked.
Reluctantly, Charlene followed Michael to the office. Michael glanced over her file that had been passed on from her other school. -
'Charlene was the victim of sexual assault a year and a half ago. Due to this, she has a newborn baby daughter. Charlene has trouble settling into school and can often be rowdy'
Michael was shocked as he looked over at the young girl. "You know I was raped right?" She asked. At Michael's nod, she continued. "Her name is Gracie-Rose. She's two months today," Charlene mumbled.
"Who has her during the day?" Michael asked.
"My gran. She's been entirely supportive. Mum didn't believe me when I told her. Said I made it up just so I wouldn't get into trouble," Charlene mumbled. She hated admitting her home life problems to anyone, especially someone she had only just met.
Michael smiled sympathetically at her. "If you ever want someone to talk to then I'm here," he said. He felt a connection to this girl. He didn't know what had caused it but he found himself wanting to be protective of her.

Charlene had gone to class. Michael sent her off with Imogen. He called Sian in. "I've spoken to Charlene Taylor."
"And?"
Michael sighed. "She was raped over a year ago, she had the attackers baby. She lives with her elderly gran," he informed her. He knew Charlene would hate being talked about but Michael needed to tell the staff.
Sian was shocked. "She was raped? The poor kid," Sian mumbled. She took Charlene's file from Michael and glanced over it. "I think its best we keep her away from the likes of Barry Barry. He would only try it on with her," Sian stated.
Michael agreed. He knew what would probably happen. Barry would try it on with Charlene. Charlene would flip out and attack him. "Keep her in the mainstream then. Have Tom check in on her at times."
Sian nodded in agreement. She walked out leaving Michael in his thoughts.
With Charlene.
Charlene had confided in Imogen about everything she had been through. She found that she could trust the dark haired girl. "Look, please don't tell anyone about it. I'm ashamed enough as it is," Charlene said.
"I won't say anything. I promise," Imogen replied. She felt bad for Charlene. She was sixteen and had been through a lot. "I'm here for you Charlene."
"Thanks."

Lunchtime came and so Charlene was sitting with Imogen, Connor, Scout and Rhiannon. Charlene's hair was blonde with pink tips. Scout was in awe of her hair. Rhiannon seemed to be slightly jealous. "Charlene, can I go on your phone?" Rhiannon asked.
Charlene shook her head knowing there were pictures of her daughter on there and she didn't want anyone knowing about her. "No, battery is dead," she lied.
"Ugh, so sad," Rhiannon muttered.
With Michael.
Michael was sitting in his office. He had a clear view of Charlene and he saw the vulnerability in her eyes. He wanted and needed to protect her. She did something to him. She made him feel different.
Michael knew it was wrong to fall for pupils but he couldn't help it. Michael turned back to his desk and finished reading Charlene's file. Some of the stuff written was horrid. For a sixteen year old girl, Charlene had been through a lot.
Sian walked in. "I've heard that Charlene has settled in," she said. Sian noticed the distant look in Michael's eyes. "Earth to Michael."
"Sorry Sian, I was...thinking," Michael said. It wasn't a lie. He was thinking. Thinking about Charlene. "What did you say?"
Sian smiled. "Charlene Taylor, it seems like she's settling in quite well."
"That's good. That's what we wanted isn't it?" Michael asked.
Sian nodded and smiled. "Yes, we've had no problems from her yet. I just hope Barry doesn't set eyes on her."
Michael felt annoyance hit him. He wanted Charlene and he wouldn't let Barry take her. Even though he had only met her a few hours ago, he had decided that he would do whatever it took to keep her safe. "Well I'm sure that Charlene is a capable girl. She'll be able to fend off Barry Barry."

With Charlene.
Charlene was walking down the corridors. She got a text from her Gran -
I have taken Gracie into town to do some shopping. We'll be back in time for dinner - Gran.
Charlene smiled. When she had been born, Charlene's gran was 30. Charlene's mum had been fifteen when she got pregnant with Charlene and it was drilled into her head to never get pregnant at fifteen.
"Alright gorgeous?"
Charlene looked up to see a guy with black hair and stubble staring at her. "Why wouldn't I be okay?" She asked. She knew what was coming.
"Because I've only just decided to speak with you. I know you must have been wondering who the hottest guy in the school was. I'm here now," he said.
Charlene scoffed. "If you think you're good looking then I suggest you crack your mirror," she said before she walked off. She didn't know that Michael was looking at her. A smirk on his face.
