Heyo! I'm TheDemonsRedRose, but just call me Rose. So... my first Doctor Who fanfic. This should be an adventure! Hopefully, since I've written a few fanfictions and started a few original works before, my writing won't be too bad. Welp, lets get to the story then! Enjoy!
Summary: AU Tenth/Rose. The Doctor still looks like David Tennant, just as a younger version. After hearing rumors of strange things happening in a public high school in London, The Doctor decides to investigate. He enrolls himself in the school as John Smith, where he meets Rose Tyler. As the year goes on, Rose grows more and more suspicious of 'John Smith' It's obvious he's not normal. So who exactly is he?
A young man walked along the streets of London, heading towards the school in the crisp morning air. He trudged , earning a few looks from passing strangers. Indeed, he was an odd character. Unruly brown hair, brown eyes wide with agitation, brown trench coat billowing out behind him as he walked, and a blue backpack strapped across one shoulder. If one of the strangers had, perhaps, walked up and asked for his name, they would have simply gotten a mysterious smile and the words 'I'm The Doctor!' before the strange young man walked away, a bounce in his steps.
The Doctor, otherwise known as 'John Smith', continued to walk on, oblivious to the looks he was receiving. He was off to his first day of high school in London, and he was a ball of nerves and excitement as the gigantic building came into view. Other teens wandered the grounds, searching for their friends and walking into the school. The Doctor gulped, as he walked up the steps to the double doors, open wide to allow entrance to the school. He kept his head down, avoiding contact with others as much as possible.
He followed the hallway to the office, and was met with an older woman of about fifty. "Um... I'm John Smith. I'm new here." he said
The office lady smiled brightly. "Ah, John Smith! Heard you were coming. I'm Mrs. White. Hang out here for a minute while I get your schedule and books."
He nodded, and smiled politely, sitting down on one of the chairs by the doorway. Mrs. White walked out of the office, and came back with three text books, and his schedule. The Doctor noticed another student following her in, and he was immediately intrigued. She seemed familiar, though he was sure he had never seen her before.
"John, this is Rose Tyler. She'll be showing you around the school today." She handed him his books and schedule, and walked off, leaving him and Rose alone. He smiled at her, and held out his hand. "John Smith." he said "But call me The Doctor." he winked at her, and she laughed, shaking his hand. "Rose Tyler." she said, her tongue peeking out of her teeth as she smiled. The Doctor nodded, and playfully bowed. "It is very nice to meet you, Rose Tyler." he said
Her smile grew even wider, and she laughed once again as she mock curtsied. "And you, Doctor." she said playfully
The stood in silence for a few seconds, before Rose finally broke it. "Can I see your schedule? Might as well know what classrooms I should show you." she said
The Doctor nodded, and handed it to her. "Hmm..." Rose mumbled.
"What?" he asked
Rose shook her head. "Nothing." she said "We've got all of our classes together except for first and fifth. You take physics?" she asked
The Doctor smiled and sheepishly scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, I'm a bit of a physics nerd. Well, I say a bit..."
Rose laughed again, and started walking. "Come on, I'll show you around. We've got twenty minutes before first period starts, plenty of time."
The Doctor nodded, and caught up to her as she led him to his locker. "Oh look! Your locker's just across the hall from mine!" she said
The Doctor smiled. He'd only been there ten minutes and he seemed to have already made a friend. "That's wonderful." he said, walking to his own and opening it.
He sorted through his books and put away everything he didn't need until after lunch. He shoved the rest in his backpack, and walked back to Rose, who was at her own locker.
Observing it, he saw a picture of her with a young man. "Who's that?" he asked
Rose looked up to where he was pointing. "Oh, that's Micky. He's one of my best friends." she said
The Doctor nodded, and waited for Rose to finish getting her stuff ready. "Alright. I'll show you to your first class." She said, turning to the wild looking teen.
The Doctor smiled, and motioned for them to begin walking. "Lead the way, miss! Allons-y!"
Rose looked at him. "What does that mean?" she asked
"Hmm? Oh, it's French for let's go. Just to warn you, I say it a lot." he responded, flashing her a grin. He turned and walked past Rose the way they came from.
She smiled. "Other way!" she called to him
The Doctor promptly turned around, and walked back towards her. "Yes, yes. I knew that." he muttered
Rose laughed, and shook her head as she lead him to his class. The Doctor was very... interesting. She'd never met anyone like him before. He was delightful to be around, and she found herself wanting to get to know him more.
As they walked, The Doctor thought. Rose Tyler. Her name seemed so familiar. The first time he'd looked at her, he was hit with the sense that he'd seen her before. Just who was she? He shook the thoughts out of his head. He was probably just being paranoid. He slipped a smile back on his face, and focused on the back of her head, studying her blond hair. He began to think about what he was doing there in the first place. Something strange was going on at that school, and he was determined to find out what it was.
The Doctor was ripped from his thoughts when Rose suddenly stopped. He stumbled to keep from running into her before trying to regain his composure. Rose smiled at him. "Alright, here's your first class. Physics." She laughed and shook her head "Don't know how you could even begin to understand that." she said
The Doctor smiled at her. "Well, I'm very clever." he said jokingly. Rose smiled once again. "I'll meet you here after class, and I'll take you to second period. We both have English with Mr. Frazen."
The Doctor nodded, and walked to the door as Rose walked away. He took a deep breath and entered the room a few minutes before the bell rang. Walking to the front of the classroom, he stopped at the teachers desk. The teacher, Mr. Burrig, looked up at him. "Ah, you must be John. Go ahead and sit wherever you like. Class will start in a few minutes. The Doctor nodded, and sat down next to an athletic looking boy with short brown hair. The boy turned to him, and held out his hand. "Jack Harkness." he said, smiling at him.
The Doctor shook his hand and smiled back. "John Smith. Just call me The Doctor."
Jack laughed, and shook his head. "Alrighty then, Doctor. Nice to meet you."
The Doctor grinned. "And same to you." he said
Jack turned away from him as class started, and The Doctor found himself scribbling down notes throughout the period. Physics in the classroom was very different from how he usually studied it. It would take him a while to get used to it.
And there ya go. First chapter finished. If there's any mistakes in spelling or grammar just tell me, and I'll fix it. Constructive criticism is always welcome! Please review, I'd love to know what you think and if you've got any ideas!
