So, I decided to start a new Waterloo Road story. It is based in Scotland with Christine as Head, Simon & Tom as deputies. All characters belong to the BBC other than Chloe & Caitlyn Johnson who I invented. They are in year 10 and so are Imogen, Connor, Dynasty & Kevin for the purposes of this story. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and let me know what you guys think!

Chapter 1:

It was a Monday morning in Greenock, the sun was high in the sky dazzling down on the life below as people carried on with their daily business.

Driving down the road, Sarah glanced over briefly at her daughter who was sat next to her in the passenger seat, staring out of the window at the rows and rows of houses that they were passing as they drove back from their appointment.

Despite living in Greenock all her life and going down this exact road millions of time, Chloe had never looked at it like she did today. All the detail she had previously failed to notice, the vast array of flowers and ornaments in the different gardens, the little side gates leading down the side of the houses, the way that if you watch carefully you can sometimes see what people are watching on their TV through the open blinds. But she had never had a reason to pay so much attention, but she had just been told some news that had completely altered her life and the way in which she views the world.

"It won't be long until we're home now." Chloe's Mum said as she glanced at her daughter again. Neither had said anything since finding out the news creating an awkward silence in the car, neither knowing what to say to the other about it.

"What...why?" Chloe asked confusingly as she finally registered what her Mum had said. She didn't want to go home. She knew her Mum would try and talk to her about what had happened. She needed time for it to sink in first.

"Well, I didn't think you would want to go in." Sarah explained She wanted to sit down and talk through it all with her daughter before telling anyone else, especially Caitlyn, Chloe's twin sister.

"Well, I do. I just want to try and have one more day of normality." Chloe explained as her Mum changed direction and back towards Waterloo Road.

As her Mum pulled up outside the school, Chloe could feel tears rising in her eyes making them sting. She quickly wiped them away before her Mum would notice. She looked up at the sign before turning her gaze to the masses of people in the playground making Chloe think it must only be break time even though it seemed a lot later. She had only missed History.

"Come on then, let's go in." Sarah sad as she unclipped her seat belt, turning off the ignition as she did so. She didn't want her daughter to be going into school today after finding out the news but she couldn't really stop her either. As much as she loved her twins, she sometimes wished that they weren't so determined and independent.

"You're not coming in." Chloe snapped defensively. She was perfectly capable of going into school herself and she really didn't want her Mum to tell anyone the news yet.

"I need to tell Mrs Mulgrew and Caitlyn about what is happening. They need to know." Sarah said gently as she placed her hand supportively on her daughter's lap. She looked at her pale face, her blonde curls, her brown eyes and could feel a lump forming in her throat.

"I know you do, but not yet. Please, promise me you won't tell them. Just one more day." Chloe pleaded quietly and she watched as her Mum looked at her, gazing deep into her eyes before she nodded. The least she could do was give her one more day of being just Chloe.

"But please tell someone if you don't feel well. I will be straight here to get you." Her Mum said gently before kissing her daughter on the forehead. Chloe grabbed her bag and got out of the car, looking back just before closing the door at her Mum.

"Love you." She said quietly before closing the door and made her way through the gates into the playground leaving her Mum alone and not knowing what to do except to burst into tears.
