Spencer's point of view.
I smiled at him. I never really made friends at my new school, I knew I'd be moving along soon.
"I'm Spencer." I said. I shook his hand.
Shaking hands?
What sort of school is this?
"I heard we're in the same form class!" Louis said. This guy seemed really optimistic. He was happy, and smiling at 8:35am in the morning, first day back after the summer holidays. I was lost...form class? I remember the receptionist saying something about it.
"Oh, yeah. Guess so..." I said.
We started walking down the hallway.
"Great! We have Science with Mr. Howell. Although, he makes us called him Dr. Howell, to make him seem more...in charged." He said this last part shakily. What? In charged? What did this mean?
"Oh yeah, sure. I mean whatever. Hey, do you know what we're doing in Science?" I asked him.
"I don't know. We have 4 topics we have to cover a year, so...it could be anything!" Louis replied, all happy and smiley. That really annoyed me about him. "So, where did you move from?" Louis asked me. He seemed really eager to make friends with me. Stalk me, more like.
"Oh, you know. Here and there..." I said. I admit, I didn't give much away. But it wasn't any of his business...it isn't! Louis smiled at me, and nodded. What? I give a very vague answer and he doesn't push it? Something is up with him.
"So, where are you from?" I asked him. If he was going to ask me questions, I'd ask him some back.
"Essex. I've lived here...my whole life. Shame really. Never got to experience not being in this county." He smiled at me.
"But that's good. You know where you live, you know that your house is here – you don't assume you'll be leaving half way through the year." I shouldn't of really gone much more into it, I had no idea why he didn't ever leave Essex. It was his parents decision after all – right? Louis just smiled and nodded.
We walked outside, I followed him.
"So, we're here!" Spencer said, excited.
"Here?" I looked up. It was a huge brown building.
"The Science block!" Louis said.
"Is that a band?" I asked him. Louis laughed.
"No. It's where all the Science class rooms are."
We walked up a load of steps, I wasn't really into sports, I have to admit – I was pretty warn out.
We walked into the Science classroom. It was a pretty straight forward route.
"Dr. Howell!" Louis said.
"Mr. Degerees, who do we have here?" The teacher asked him, but looked at me.
"Spencer. He's just moved here." Louis said. I could of spoken for myself.
"Ah, Spencer Peace. I heard. Maybe, you'd like to have this period off and show him around?" I didn't know what Mr. Howell was up to – but I didn't like it. Did teachers just let you out of class like that in Essex?
"Okay, come along Spencer. We've got a lot to get through."
"Great!" I said. I tried to smile. But I really couldn't. I would rather be in Science...not learning. Not actually learning...or pretending to listen and learn to the boring history of the school. Great.
