This is my very first story hope you all like it. All characters are owned by the BBC expect Allister and Blake who are my own creation. This story will be about 2 boys who's paths in life will be questioned but in what way? All reviews and comments will be highly appreciated and thank you for taking your time to read this!
'New term, new day and new start' Tom says as he walks up the pebble-dash drive of Waterloo Road as the beam of the morning sun shines out all over Greenock.
The rush of kids walking up the ground gossiping about what they did, laughing and showing off new gizmos and gadgets that they may have bought. Footballs getting kicked, girls screaming people, people on bikes riding around getting in everyone's way.
Tom turns around and looks around the playground and sees Christine and George walking towards him and chuckles 'something's never change in this place'
'I know and I wish it would' George snarls as he walks into the school and heads to the staff room with Christine and Tom following and laughing.
As the three of them head into the staff room to meet the other teachers they are greeting by a morning announcement from Michael Byrne.
'Right everyone hope you enjoyed your time away but we need to get cracking straight away this year, this term will be special as we have 2 very talented students starting who will put Waterloo road on the map. There will be an assembly first thing to welcome all the students back so make sure everyone will be there as I also have a surprise in store'
And as just as Michael finishes the school bell rings and everyone departs the staff room ready to what the day will bring.
'Hurry up Blake we are going to be late!' Shouts Allister as both of them pedal as zoom down the Greenock roads to reach the school. 'I can hear the school bell we must hurry!' he continues
As both boys enter the school they drop their bikes off lock them up and rush into school and they both stumble across George as they enter the building.
'You two you're late' George snaps and points to the assembly hall 'You're lucky Mr Byrne is having an assembly now otherwise you would be late to class get in there and find a seat before I report you to him'
Both the boys without a word hang their heads in shame and walk into the hall waiting to see what the assembly will bring.
As the boys both open the rickety wooden doors they enter a uproar of gossip as all the students wait the arrival of the head teacher to enter. The boys freeze as they see the room already packed with students.
'Hey Allister is that you?' Allister looks around the room to see where this broad Scottish accent came from as the voice seemed familiar.
'Oh hey Imogen, long time no see' Allister replied with a huge gleam on his face as he finally put a face to the voice
'Why don't you come and sit with us we have 2 spare seats' Imogen gestured as she taps one of the seats.
Both boys steadily moved over and sat down while Blake just sat quiet through this whole process.
Imogen and Allister both start to introduce their friends to each other while Blake just curls up into a ball on his seat and waits for something to break the awkwardness in the air.
'So how do you two know each other? Connor askes curiously.
'We used to be good neighbours while we were living in Aberdeen when we were younger used to spent a lot of time together, I've heard a lot about you Connor must be difficult keeping this one under control' Allister replies which turned everyone into laughter but Blake still sat there motionless.
Kevin notices Blake sat there not saying a word so tries to make a conversation 'So Blake what you interested in?
Again Blake no response and just stairs at the wooden stage at the front of the hall.
Before Allister could ask what was wrong Mr Bryne walks in the room and all the gossip immediately stops.
