Part Two: Lucy Barnes;

This school really isn't as bad as I thought it was! Yes there are some cocky lads but I'm sure I can deal with that. Hopefully it won't be as bad as the last school. I usually hate science, but coar I think I might start to like it if Mr Mead is my teacher.

As I wondered into the new classroom, Mr Mead came over which a huge grin on his beautiful face.

'You must be Lucy?'

I smiled back, admiring him.

'OK... you can sit at the back next to Kyle Stack' he says pointing to the back of the class to a normal looking boy who was slumped in his chair, giving evils to the boy sat in the row in front with jet black hair. I nodded and headed to the back of the classroom, where I fell down in the seat next to Kyle.

I smiled at him friendly, and he smiled back almost winking as he did so. I yanked my bag from beneath me and began searching through for my pencil case; I finally found it I pulled it out placing it on the table top as the contents of my school bag fell across the science classroom floor. I grunted, restraining myself from swearing. I took a deep breath before beginning to pick up the belongings. I glanced up spotting the boy I walked here with earlier and sat with In Mr Chalks; I smiled at him gratefully as he helped pick all my things up.

'Harry?' Mr Mead called.

'I was just helping her,'

'Oh okay then'

'Thank you!' I shouted as Harry headed back to his chair which was in the row behind.

Science was a pretty normal lesson, Mr Mead doing some board work and then we had some questions to do. There was about 5 minutes of the lesson left when Kyle poked me in the side with his pointy pen. I glared at him, 'Yes?' I asked irritably. 'What's this answer...?'

I sighed, 'it says it there' I reply pointing to the page.

He nodded and scribbled it down, I returned to my work but I noticed that Kyle was still looking at me. I cocked my head. 'Can I help?' I ask.

'I was wondering... You got a boyfriend?' He beams.

I didn't want to go out with him, but at the same time I really didn't want to hurt his feelings...

'I um, don't but I'm not interested in anyone at the moment'

'I see' he replied before returning his attention to his science book.

Soon after the bell school erupted and everyone began speeding out the classroom. I sighed, wondering out last. This was the bit I was dreading, who was I meant to stand with? I glanced around awkwardly. I stood against the corridor wall, watching the other girls in their little groups. I then turned my head spotting the familiar face of my cousin Emily. She grinned at me as she strolled down the corridor with a rather small boy, brown hair. 'This is my cousin' Em told the boy next to her. He nodded and wondered of placing his white earphones in his ears. 'I'll show you to the common room if you want?' Em offered.

'Thanks,' I reply.

We come to the common room, and I say my thank you's to Em and let her get of to her friends. I slip inside, and slump down on one of the brown sofa's I spot a red haired girl almost thundering over to me. My heart thumps, was she coming to have a go at me? She stood right in front of me glaring.

I open my mouth but nothing comes out,

'That's my chair, move it you prat' She screams pulling at my arm.

'Sorry...' I mumble jumping to my feet getting out of the girls way as soon as possible. Not wanting to cause trouble.

'You should be' she replies before slumping down.

'Jess' I hear a boy shout from behind. It was that boy from earlier again! 'What do you want little bro' I raise a eyebrow, me being slow it took a few seconds for my brain to register that there brother and sister. 'She's new, don't be a cow.'

'OOH!' I hear a crowd of students shout. I was expecting the fiery girl to stand and knock her brother to the ground but she didn't.

'Look I'll leave your little lover friend alone OK?'

At that I blushed, and so did Harry by the look of it.

'She's... not my...' He began to deny. With that he turned on his heels and dashed out the door before I could stop him.

I stood awkwardly yet again in the middle of the common room as everyone stared and laughed 'AT ME'. I could feel my cheeks burning. I quickly looked away from the glares as I sped towards the door.
