"Paper Knees" Bertie Gilbert: by Mikaela O'Malley
Chapter 1:
Charlottes POV:
I was nervous but excited about moving into my new home in a new country. I was sad about leaving all my friends back in America and I wasn't sure how easy it would be finding new friends. I wasn't too good at meeting new people and being open with myself. But somehow I had a feeling this would all work out. I was entering year 11 at Sylvia Young Performing Arts Academy. I must say that I was extremely nervous due to the amount of people that were preppy, rich bastards. I went to a performing arts school in Chicago but we eventually decided that England would be a better choice because of the far more prestigious art schools here. Also, my older sister, Margaret, signed a contract with Britain's Vogue Modeling Agency and we decided that England would be a better home. My father just got a raise and the money wasn't an issue as well. The down side is that I don't know anyone. But the up side was that I was going to the same school as all my YouTube idols. Bertie Gilbert, Dom Herman-Day, Roy Arvatz, and Harrison Webb. Otherwise known as Tumbleweed. Not to mention their other friends like Dan Bridle and Liam Bosker too! I don't think I'll fan girl in front of them because I don't want to embarrass myself but I plan on at least talking to them by the end of first semester.
I walked up the front steps to my new house. This is my first time moving. Our house was moderately sized, but I was still happy with it. I didn't like really big houses that much anyway. They always scared me at night. We all stood in the front room, clueless on what to do next. After picking our rooms and unpacking, we finally got somewhat settled into our brand new home. I sat alone in my room, looking at Sylvia Young's brochure. It would be funny if I saw Bertie on the cover, I thought to myself. After looking at the brochure, I pulled out my laptop and checked for new videos of Bertie. There was a new one updated 3 hours ago called "Starting year 11" I got excited watching it, knowing that I'll be in Bertie's class this year. I started school in two days. Two days I had to prepare. New girl. New school. Oh shit…
