I woke up in the morning without the need of an alarm, probably caused by nerves. Starting a new school in the middle of term wasn't my idea. However I had a hint that Daisy would love the attention but I hated anyone staring at me.
Someone banged on my door loudly as I rolled out of bed with my thick duvet still wrapped around me.
"Mill are you awake?" mum peered around the door.
I nodded and she disappeared again. I scanned my wardrobe for something which wouldn't stand out at a normal school. I pulled out a pair of skinny jeans, a white tank top and pulled one of Martin's old tartan shirts over it, rolling up the sleeves to my elbows. I split my hair down the middle and plaited each side so it looked better.
As I grabbed a slice of toast off a plate in the middle of the kitchen, Daisy strutted in wearing a pair of shorts and a tight tank showing off her amazing figure.
"I am taking my dad's car, you can have the range rover" she muttered smugly.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed the car keys off the counter. I didn't mind, I preferred the range rover to the bright red convertible BMW anyway.
I grabbed my rucksack and strolled out of the front door.
"Bye mum" I shouted back into the house.
"Good luck love" she called back.
It didn't take long to get to school but as I pulled into the parking lot, I realised I should have just walked because everyone still turned to look at me. I hesitantly jumped down from the car, throwing my rucksack on my back and then slamming the door, trying to ignore all the curious stares.
"Hey" I turned on my heels and sighed as Leah strolled towards me.
She glanced down at me outfit and then nodded in acceptance.
"You look amazing stop worrying"
I rolled my eyes and shook my head in disbelief. "Thanks I guess. You look amazing too"
Leah snorted.
Thankfully Daisy pulled into a space beside me and everyone turned to stare at her instead. As she slid out the car, the wind blew her hair backwards, making her entrance look like an advert for a BMW. I shook my head and laughed to myself as every boy in the whole parking lot moved closer to Daisy, admiring her and then the car.
"Come on" Leah chuckled, linking her arm through mine and pulling me towards the office.
At the office the receptionist gave me my timetable and then a map of the school but I had quite a few lessons with Leah, so she offered to become my guide.
"So how are you and Paul getting on?" Leah asked as we walked towards our first lesson, English.
I tried to avoid everyone who was staring at me but ever so often, I would accidentally meet someone's gaze.
"What about me and Paul? There isn't a me and Paul" I mumbled.
Leah frowned down at me.
"You seemed pretty close last night" she quizzed.
I shrugged my shoulders and Leah dropped the subject before asking me about my lessons back in England.
As we turned the corner, I could feel a wave of heat up my back.
I moaned realising Paul was behind me. Leah glanced over her shoulder and then down at me.
"The classroom is just up there, I will be there in a minute" she skidded to a stop and began walking down the hallway we had just come.
I could still feel Paul behind me.
"You look nice today" Paul whispered in my ear, probably trying to catch me off guard but I shrugged my shoulders and carried on walking.
"Ok…" Paul grunted.
"Nice was an understatement you look beautiful" I could hear the smirk in his face as he breathed down my neck, making my pulse quicken.
I snorted and picked up my pace.
"Are you still angry with me?" Paul whined, grabbing my hand and pulling me to a stop.
I moaned as everyone in the corridor turned to stare at us. This was the opposite of plan to blend in.
I pulled my hand away from him.
"Are you still being a jerk?"
Paul didn't answer so I took that as a yes.
"Then yes, I am still angry with you" I told him.
"Come on Mill, I'm sorry I ended that phone call. I was tired and I just wanted to talk to you without interruptions" he lifted my chin with his finger so I had to meet his apologetic gaze.
I felt a tingling sensation through my body as Paul stroked my cheek gently. He seemed to feel the feeling too and his eyes widened slightly.
"I need to get to class" I sighed, pulling away from Paul who was now grinning like an idiot.
He nodded reluctantly and then strolled down the corridor away from me, passing Leah on the way. He whispered something to her and she turned to grin at me.
I rolled my eyes and then continued into our English classroom. Leah followed close behind me, and saved a seat beside her as Mr Hills signed my note.
"What did Paul say to you?" I asked.
I took my seat beside her and waited for her to answer as the rest of the class spilled into the classroom, all staring at me beside Leah.
Leah shrugged her shoulders and smirked over at me. "Why do you want to know?"
"I don't, unless it was something about me, and then as my friend, you should tell me" I told her.
She chuckled softly.
"He was just saying thanks for leaving you alone so he could talk to you" Leah replied.
I nodded unconvinced and then turned to the front of the classroom. Apparently I hadn't missed much on the new topic, 'Romeo and Juliet' so I didn't have many notes to catch up on.
"Psst" one of the boys who was sitting behind me, hissed over at me.
I turned and frowned at him. "What?" I hissed back.
"How about I come round your house tonight?" the boy smirked over at me.
I snorted and shook my head, turning back to listen to Mr Hills.
"Come on, I don't bite" the boy whispered into my ear.
I turned my head and the boy was leaning off his chair towards me, resting his elbow on my desk
"It isn't your bite I'm worried about" I smirked back at him.
I moved my desk an inch to the left making the boy lose balance and he fell onto the floor, pulling his desk with him.
Everyone in the classroom burst into laughter and stared at the boy on the floor. Leah nudged my arm. I high fifed her subtly and then turned back to the boy on the floor.
"David, what are you doing? Get up now" Mr Hill yelled to the boy, trying not to laugh.
The boy named David, jumped up and grunted something before sitting back down on his chair.
David didn't speak to me for the rest of the day, probably because he was too busy hitting anyone who laughed or made a joke out of him. Leah didn't stop laughing about it for most of the day. She also told Jake and the others as we walked into the parking lot at the end of school.
