Chapter 2
First day
Desmond
Me and Flo sat at the back of the vehicle, totally aware of the sudden gossip flourishing about us. I glanced across at her and saw her tightly hugging her knees. "It'll be fine" I murmed. She looked up at me and flashed a nervous smile. I smiled back trying to give her comfort. After another 10 minutes of trying to block out all the whisperings and gossip the vehicle came to a halt outside the school. It was a large, fairly modern building that looked as if it had a team of deducated janitors. We remained seated, letting everyone exit the bus first and eventually made our leave. "It looks… Nice..." I shrugged, forcing a smile at Flo who was still looking pretty shaky. "C'mon, we should go pick up our timetables from the office… Where ever that is!" I said looking round me searching for anything that would be of any help. No map, sign post, anything. I felt I shoulder brush past mine and I turned to grab hold of it. Staring at me with extremely wide, green eyes was guy of about my age with tussled brown hair. He seemed to cower in front of me, dunno what his problem was!
