Steve is Long Gone:
Chapter two
Yes, he just remembered why Matt was expelled from Phoenix Drop High. He had got into a fight with Travis over Katelyn; afterwards Travis denied he loved her though. Matt had thrown a punch at Travis and it hit him perfectly, knocking him out completely. That's why. Flipping hell just had to be my roommate didn't he? Tommy thinks. What if he does the same to me? He bumps into a girl in the corridor. Without looking he picks up her nooks and papers. "Here." He says. "Thank you!" answers the girl, smiling into his face. She was beautiful. Dyed blue hair getting lighter towards the ends, with matching ankle boots and rosy cheeks. Blushing, Tommy continues down the corridor to the Darlington dining room. He hears the girl giggle as she runs down the opposite way, obviously in a rush.
"Darn I should have asked for her name!" he curses under his breath. As he opens the double doors, he meets a room crowded with older kids chatting to each other. It was as loud as a jumbo jet flying over the sky! Tommy weaved in and out of the groups, racing to get into the mile-long queue before it gets even longer. Oh no. He just spotted Faye. Tonight he will have to eat out of his emergency 'what-if-I-see-Faye-there' lunch supply. On the way back, he sees Matt talking to some girl, obviously flirting. So, he got over Katelyn pretty quickly smirks Tommy. "Hey uhhh Tommy isn't it?" asks Matt. "Yeah it is. Just going to our room to see what to sign up for. See you later!" shouts Tommy, desperate not to talk with a guy who flirts to any girl he meets. Kicking open his door, leaving scuff marks, he throws himself onto his bed and opens his backpack. "Let's see what I have in here." Talking to himself, he gets out a plastic box filled with junk food. Well, better to eat then go hungry I guess. Once he stuffed his face with a cheeseburger and chips, Tommy goes onto his laptop hoping to find interesting things to sign up for.
Glancing at the time, he guesses he has about an hour until all the kids have signed up for the best classes. He finds a football club, music class, psychology class and media. Signing up for all of them, he lays down on bed, wishing himself to sleep.
