(What could have happened if Torchwood met in high school)
Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood or the BBC but I do own Torch high :) yay
I own something!!
"Rise and shine, all you sleepyheads, this is BBC radio 1, it's a
beautiful day in Wales, especially Cardiff, it's bright and sunny today, so
here's a song for the morning!" Grace Kelly by Mika blared through the
radio into Owen's ear.
He opened his eyes and looked at the alarm in disbelief that it was morning
already.
"OWEN TURN THAT STUPID ALARM OFF NOW!" his mum screamed from the living
room.
Blearily, he pressed the big silver button on the top of the clock, but it
didn't stop, so he just pulled the plug out of its socket and looked around
his bedroom.
It was painted green with three cupboards at the far end and his brown wooden
bed. His bedroom wasn't very big, in fact it was tiny the ceiling had old
white paint chipping off it and the old blue carpet was stained multiple
times. Owen stumbled over to one of his cupboards where he kept his clothes.
Pulling out a crumpled school shirt, some baggy jeans and a leather jacket,
Owen started his day.
Whacking his hair into some scruffy style with a hand full of gel Owen headed
downstairs, to the kitchen, a large room with white cupboards, and white tiles
on the floor and walls. Then he walked over to the fridge to take out a
yoghurt for breakfast.
On his way out he saw a wallet probably one of his mums 'clients' – so
he took out twenty quid which he stuck his jeans' pocket and then went out
the door, slamming it as he went. Now half a mile walk to the bus stop, he
thought dully.
"Miss Cooper wake up, would you like pancakes or muffins this
morning?" asked Lilly, one of Mr and Mrs Cooper's maids.
Gwen blinked her long lashes as she opened her big brown eyes and looked up
at the bright white ceiling, the golden chandelier and the bulbs that were way
too bright at this time in the morning.
"Oh I don't know, umm, pancakes?" she answered groggily.
"Yes miss," Lilly replied before hurrying off to the main kitchen.
Gwen got out of bed, wrapped her nightgown around her and walked out onto her
balcony. She looked at the people below.
"I hate morning people," she commented to noone in particular. Turning to
her expensive wardrobe she selected her school shirt with a short skirt,
classy heels and a tight jacket to show off every part of her upper body.
Gwen looked in the mirror and nodded, content with her choice of clothing.
She walked down the spiral staircase to the breakfast room where her parents
were waiting, sat down at the table and ate her pancakes while making small
talk with her parents, trying to fake interest in whatever the topic was –
she couldn't remember ten minutes later.
She finished her pancakes as quick as she could, kissed her Mum and Dad on
the cheek and ran outside to catch the bus. Even though her parents were rich,
this was the one 'normal' thing that she was allowed.
When she arrived she saw her brother Dafydd and his three mates, Rhys who was
annoying, Hefyn who she barely noticed, and Rhodri who was just gorgeous and
perfect in every way.
Oh, and there was Owen Harper, listening to his mp3 player. If only he hung
around with the right people, Gwen wished, because in fact he was quite cute
it's just that he hung around with Jack that sports jock, Toshiko the geek
and Ianto that weird loser who drinks way too much coffee and is always
hyper.
Rhodri, Rhys and Hefyn wolf whistled at her approach. Dafydd just shoved them
and they all fell off the bench, Gwen laughing as she went to sit next to her
brother. The boys just sat on the floor and got filthy.
"You lot, I hope you understand that your jeans are going to be a lovely
shade of grey when you stand up," she giggled.
"Well I am not being the only one with a grey behind thank you," Rhodri
retorted, as he got up and pushed Owen off of the bench.
Owen, who was not expecting this as he couldn't hear anything with his mp3
on, therefore looked totally surprised when he was pushed off of the bench
with a bewildered look on his face that Gwen just couldn't resist laughing
at.
When the bus pulled up Gwen got on first as the others followed her, and they
flashed their bus passes like V.I.P's going into a club before sitting in
their usual spot where Gwen's mates were waiting for her. She sat in the
middle at the back row, with the boys in second row trying to impress them.
(Hi sorry that I had to change it but I didn't like how boring it was
getting and I promise that I will bring the rest of the team into it soon :)
(Please R&R!)
