Chapter 2: A New School
Sam walked up to gates and pressed the buzzer,
'Hello,' a crackly voice said
'Hi, I'm Samantha Nixon; I'm supposed to be starting here today!' Sam said nervously
'Ok, just push the gate now and walk to the reception following the signs!' the voice said
Sam pushed the gate and walked into the grounds of Sun Hill House. She walked over to the sign and walked towards the reception. She walked for about 10 minutes until she found the reception; she knocked on the door and walked in.
'Hello, I'm Samantha…' Sam started
'I know we've been expecting you!' interrupted a lady in a friendly but strict voice, 'I am the Headteacher here at Sun Hill House, and my name is Miss Gold.'
'Pleased to meet you Miss Gold,' Sam replied holding out her hand for the Headteacher to shake.
'Right now I'd better introduce you to your class and tutors, so follow me!' Miss Gold said over her shoulder as she walked out the door.
Sam gulped she stood up carefully and followed the head out of the room.
'As you know you will be in a mixed class of 25 and will have subjects with different teachers,' Miss Gold piped up as they were walking a corridor covered with awards the school had won, suddenly she felt quite sick.
They reached a room with 38A on it and walked in. Sam looked at all the faces staring at her; everyone stood up and greeted Miss Gold.
'Good Morning Miss Gold!' they chorused
'Sit down please students and Turner stop chewing gum spit it out this instant,' Miss Gold shouted the last bit, 'This is your newest arrival, Samantha Nixon but she prefers to be called Sam, so say hello in the normal way you greet a new student!'
One girl stood up, 'Hi Sam, I'm Honey Harman and I like swimming and,' she stopped and then added almost silently, 'Dan!'
Lots of wolf-whistles filled the room.
'Hey Sam, I'm Stuart Turner, I like girls like you, how's 'bout it Sam!' said a boy cheekily coming up to her and holding out his hand to shake. Miss Gold hit it away and hissed, 'Detention after school for 2 hours!' Stuart sulked away.
'I'm Will Fletcher and I started last year and so I'm pretty new around here too!' said a cute boy right in front of Sam.
'I'm Jo and well…… I like girls!' the girl blushed and sat down. Miss Gold nodded at her and Jo smiled.
'I'm Leela Kapoor and well I'm interested in start signs!' an Indian girl piped up from the back,
'Heya Sam, I'm Dan Casper and I like Boxing and Honey!' a muscular boy said from the other side of the classroom, gasps could be heard coming from everybody, Honey looked at him lovingly and Dan blew her a kiss.
'Ok the rest of you can do it later, so be nice to her, oh and Sam this is your tutor, Mr. Manson,' Miss Gold told her.
'Hi everybody, as you know I'm Sam, I came here from Attleborough Court School, I like Drama, chemistry but only to blow things up and I love going out with my friends and shopping with them at Harrods at Christmas time!' Sam said,
Everyone clapped in approval. Sam smiled, Mr. Manson gestured to the seat next to Honey.
'Now let's begin the day!' said Mr. Manson.
