Just to say I'm merging characters from different series! :)

Chapter 2 - Back at School

Sam woke up in her new bed in her new home. She felt weird and she missed Denzil terribly. Mr Wilding was nice but it just felt weird. She got up and got dressed ready for school. She went downstairs to the kitchen where Matt was making breakfast. "Morning Sam! Sleep well?" He smiled. Sam just nodded and sat down at the table. "Sir... I mean Matt, do we have to go to school together?" She asked. Matt laughed. "Don't worry, I will drop you off round the corner so you can walk in by yourself" Sam just nodded again. They ate breakfast and then set off. As promised, Matt dropped her off round the corner and she walked in alone. Suddenly, someone came running up behind her. "Sam!" It was Denzil. Sam smiled for the first time in a while and hugged her brother. "Are you ok?" She asked her younger brother. Denzil nodded. "The family they put me with is actually really nice. I get to watch tv and have three meals a day!" He smiled. "What's yours like?" He asked. Sam was glad he seemed happy but she wasn't prepared to let people know who her foster parent was just yet. "Mine's just a man but he's nice I suppose." She said. At that point, Matt walked past smiling to himself, overhearing what Sam had said. "Just a man? Isn't that a bit weird?" Denzil laughed. Sam punched him playfully. "Shut up you! Let's go in!"

"Sam!" Another voice shouted. She looked behind. She smiled. It was her best friends, Kasey, Scout and Harley. Kasey ran up and hugged her. "I heard what happened. Are you ok?" She asked. Sam nodded. "I guess anywhere's better than my parents' house." She said. They then heard the bell so they quickly went to their first lesson. Sam's was music. She groaned. Kasey looked at her weird. "I thought you liked music?" "I do but I'm just not in the mood today." She said.

They all trundled into music and Mr Wilding was already there. He smiled at everyone. "Right today we're going to play some instruments." He said. A boy in the class put his hand up. "Yes Kyle?" He sighed. "Is it true that you've become a foster parent sir?" He asked. "I don't think that's anyone's business but yes I have." "But don't you just get given good for nothing tramps to look after?" He smirked making everyone snigger. Sam looked at the floor. "Any more of that language and you'll be in the cooler, Kyle. Foster caring is about looking after people who need looking after. It doesn't make them any different to anyone else. It normally isn't the child's fault. Now on with the class please." He said sternly. Everyone got on with their work. Kasey leaned over to Sam. "Did you know Mr Wilding was a foster carer?" "No why would I?" Sam said. "Imagine how funny it would be if you were sent to live with him!" She giggled. "Yeh..." Sam said quietly.

Next lesson was science and they all went to Mrs Lowsley's lesson. Kyle was being a nuisance again. "Miss, did you know Mr Wilding was a foster parent?" Kyle asked. "No Kyle, I did not, now please get on with your work." "Who would want that job thought? Looking after skanky kids with problems!" Sam had had enough. "Shut up Kyle! You know nothing about it!" Kyle smirked. "Oh yeah? And what do you know about it?" Sam went quiet. "Oh I get it! You are one of the skanky foster kids in care! Unlucky! Do your parents not love you enough to want you?" He smirked. Sam got so angry, she picked up a test tube from her desk and threw it at Kyle. "Right Sam and Kyle, cooler now!" She shouted. Both stormed out giving each other death stares.

They sat on opposite sides of the room until it was next period. It was lunch next so Sam went off to the canteen having calmed down a bit. Sam went over and sat with her friends. "Are you ok?" Scout asked. "Just ignore Kyle. He's an idiot!" She said. Sam just nodded. "Can I tell you guys something but you have to promise not to tell anyone?" They all nodded. "I'm staying with Mr Wilding." She said quietly. They were all a bit surprised but they didn't mind. "What's he like? What's his house like?" The questions started coming. "He's nice and his house is quite nice too." She smiled. "It's just weird...I just don't want the whole school knowing about it." They nodded, promising to keep quiet.

Little did they know that someone had over and that someone was Barry Barry.
