A New Family, a New Future-Part 27:
There was no sign of the group being able to go back to Boston and Jane and Maura were worried that Louisa would get too isolated so they spoke to the Detective and asked if it were possible to get Louisa into a private school. The Detective got onto contacts and Louisa was soon going into school. Angela had wanted to go but Hope said she could go as she knew how to use a gun and could go in slightly undercover.
"Why is it always her?" Angela asked, "I'm gonna learn how to use one and then I will be able to help as well," she said.
"Ma I would not trust you with a gun in a million years," Jane said looking at her mother, "for now I am more than happy for Hope to go with Lou."
"But a new school? Why? Are we staying here?" Louisa had asked when she was told that she was going to be going to school in New York.
"Well you'll still be doing your schoolwork from your teachers but you will be mixing with children your own age," Maura had explained, "Hope will be going with you."
Louisa had agreed and the next day she was in her skirt and shirt and blazer with her tights and her bag. Her shoes were the buckle shoes that she'd brought in Macy's when she'd been out with Hope. She sighed and checked herself over in the mirror before Hope arrived and told her that the car had arrived. She said bye to Jane, Maura and Angela and headed downstairs to the car and was soon on her way to the school that she had been assigned to attend.
The car pulled up and she got out and walked towards the front doors. She could feel the eyes on her and she looked around and then saw Hope waking a little way behind and she walked into the school and headed to the Principal's office.
"Ah Louisa," the Principal smiled as she saw Louisa walk into the office before turning as she saw Hope walk in.
"Hope Martin. I'll be shadowing Louisa whilst she is at the school. You know about the gun?" Hope asked as she sat down.
"Yes I know and I hope you will never have to use it," the Principal said before printing off a load of work and handing it to Louisa, "this is the work your teachers have sent for today. You will bring it to me each day after school and come here every morning."
"What about my timetable?" Louisa asked before being passed a piece of paper.
"Your timetable will be as much like at your school as I could get it but the teachers know that you are sticking to your timetable so you will sit in these classes and do your work like you were in your school. Natalie!" Louisa turned around and saw a girl around her own age walk in, "this is Natalie Harris and she's in the same classes as you so she'll show you around. Natalie this is Dr. Hope Martin and she is with Louisa so don't be alarmed if you see her following you both." Natalie nodded and greeted Hope before the warning bell sounded.
Natalie began to lead Louisa through the school and people were looking at her and it made her feel nervous. What if someone recognised her? That was the main concern she had. She wasn't really paying any attention to where they were going.
Louisa felt like the new kid all over again and she found herself searching for Hope and when she saw the Doctor her panic and nerves vanished. What was it about Hope that eased her fears? She introduced herself and said that her parents had got her into school whilst they were in New York and then she'd be going home eventually. She sat back down and slipped back into her thoughts.
Soon it was time for lessons and Louisa listened as Natalie walked and showed her around and she nodded politely and then sat down next to the girl and got her work out. It was the same subject that the class were doing but a different topic so she stuck in her headphones and put her music on. The teachers all knew who she was and that Hope was there to keep an eye as well and Louisa was just quietly getting on with her work so she was allowed as long as she just worked quietly and didn't disturb anyone else, which of course she didn't.
Hope was stood against the back wall before the teacher came to speak to her and she spoke with the teacher and kept an eye on Louisa to make sure that she was OK. The teacher went over and tapped her shoulder before beginning to look at the questions and answers that Louisa was writing down and correcting it all.
Louisa took part in the next lesson but she kept her head down as she didn't want to draw any attention to herself.
"I know you're nervous but you can trust me," Natalie said, "I was chosen because my mom knows Jane Rizzoli."
"Louisa has trust issues," Hope said walking behind them, "some so-called friends betrayed her and then making friends has been hard for her and she doesn't make friends easily."
"You're Maura's biological mother aren't you?" Natalie questioned.
"Yes I am," Hope replied before the headed into the canteen and queued up to get some lunch. Louisa wasn't hungry but Hope would only worry so she got some fruit and began to eat it wondering how the rest of the day would go.
