AN: So sorry it's been a while. Im still doing all things that i said last time but they'll be over soon :) Last French exam tomorrow and then my drama exam is on wednesday :) So by then i will be free of all the stress. :) I don't anything but the plot. Enjoy :)

I woke up and felt really nervous, first day of school. Here we go. I went into the bathroom and freshened up and then went to the closet. Okay so i should probably wear all the new really nice clothes that i bought with Megan, it's just it's not me. Im more of the tomboy, you know? You know what? It's my first day of school. I need to feel comfortable. And i will never feel comfortable in that girly girly stuff. I grabbed a pair of demon shorts(it's hard wearing jean with the cast) and clash tee and a pair of converses. i then hobbled out and looked in the mirror. I didn't bother putting make up on. There's not much point. It makes no difference. I just left my hair down, done nothing too it and went downstairs.

I finally got in the kitchen, having it take forever for me to get down the stairs. Stupid cast. I can not wait for it to come off. Which won't be long, hopefully. The doctor had said if i was good i can get it off within a week or 2 and get a walking cast. I went and sat down at the counter and Paul looked up at me and smiled.

"Ah Good Morning mitchie. You look… nice. Your dad might be a bit disappointed." He said.

"Yeah well, i prefer this." I shot back and he just dropped it.

"Now. What do you want for breakfast?" I just shrugged my shoulders.

"Eggs and Bacon it is then." I just nodded and he went off to cook. That's when Steve walked in. You know, to be honest. Im kind of nervous for what he's going to say about me wearing these clothes. I looked up to him and gave him an innocent look. He looked at me and shook his head.

"I had a feeling you weren't going to change." And with that he just went to the stool where the news paper was and read it while eating his eggs. Wow. Okay. That was easier than i thought. Paul then gave me the breakfast and i ate it. It was pretty good.

The ride to school and been pretty awkward. I was nervous. I had never had a proper 'first day of school'. I had always been to the same school so when i did have my first day of school so had everyone else. It was normal. So now im going to have to deal with pressures of everyone looking at me and whispering about me.

"Okay we're here." Steve said. I looked up at him and then out the window. WOW. It was HUGE. I couldn't believe it. "Come on.." He got out his door then came over and helped me out. I just stood there and looked up to the school. I was shocked. Like majorly. Seriously. I had no idea, a school could be so big.

"OMG! Is that Steve Torres?" I heard someone shout and then all of a sudden loads of kids were rushing towards us. I was completely shocked and had no idea what to do. I mean it looked like a stampede. Then all of a sudden i saw someone pull me aside and then catch me so i wouldn't fall. I looked up to see Shane standing there smiling down at me. Still holding me might i add.

"You okay? Thought you might need saving." He said cooly. I just looked at him, i guess i was still in shock. I looked back to Steve and he looked busy. He caught my eye and made a gesture for me to go in. ALONE. Great just what i want. Shane must have noticed my shock because next thing i know he's helping me get in the building.

"What are you doing?" I asked him

"Helping you in and taking you to the office." And with that we were on our way to the office in silent.

"I love your shirt by the way." He spoke after a while, we had been in the office and i had gotten my schedule. It was all pretty awkward, first off the secretary is pretty young so she was starstruck by Shane and she obviously knew who my dad was. I guess there aren't that many famous people at this school. I looked down at my shirt.

"Um, thanks. I love them. It's an old shirt of my mums. She saw them in concert. I so envy her for that… or i guess envied." Mentioning my mum finally made me sad. Shane picked up on this and changed the topic back to the clash.

"Yeah, they're great but i think their glory years ended in 82."

"Totally. I mean once Topper left it just wasn't the same. They tried to replace him and then Mick when he left but no one can replace them." He looked at me shocked.

"You know your clash. I'm impressed." He said smiling. This was going well. He definitely isn't what i originally thought he was.

"Well, you know, defiantly the best of the 70's" He then nodded in agreement. He then looked down at my schedule

"Okay, so we have home room together so i'll take you, actually we have all our classes together. That's good" He smiled down at me.

"Yeah." I said and then he stopped and looked at door. I guess we're here.

"We're here." What i tell you? He opened the door. And everyone's heads turned. The bell had already gone so we were late.

"Ah, , so nice for you to grace us with you appearance, oh and i see you've brought a friend." The teacher said.

"Yeah, this is Mitchie, she's new here so i was just taking her to the office to get her stuff." The teacher then looked at me.

"Ah Ms. Munroe. Yes, i've been expecting you. How nice of you Shane to show her the way. Shane you can take your seat." Shane nodded his head and took his seat. A lot of the girls were glaring at me, probably annoyed that i had been alone with Shane.

"Now Mitchie, you sure look good, changed a lot from when i last saw you" I just looked at him shocked, and to be honest, a bit weirded out too. He noticed this. "Im an old friend of your mothers. When i saw your name i was so happy, your mum is a great person, how is she? I would love to see her." I could feel my ears well up.

"Um.. i thought you said she was your f-friendd… " I sort of stuttered out.

"Well we used to be friends, we haven't spoken in a while." That would make sense then.

"Umm.. She.." I didn't know what to say. A tear then dropped and the whole class was looking at me like i was some freak. Then Shane got up and walked up to me.

"Here, come with me." He lead me outside. "One minute Mr. Stanton." We went outside the class room and i just leant against the wall and tears slid down my cheeks. He just stared at me.

"God, i feel like such an idiot. They're all gunna think im some sort of freak now." He just stared at me.

"No they won't. You're far from that." He came closer to me. "Are you okay now?." I could feel his breath on me. I feel dizzy. What is this?

"Y-yeah" I stuttered out. Wow. Cool Mitchie. He chuckled and led me back in.

"Sorry." I said to the teacher. "It's just you took me by surprise. My mum, she.." I looked to Shane and just gave me an encouraging smile and gave me a nod that said to continue. "She, she died. There was a car accident. It's why I'm here." He just looked shocked. I mean he did just find out that one of his old friends died.

"Oh wow. Im so sorry Mitchie." I just nodded my head. "Okay well you can take a seat next to Shane, you guys clearly know each other so.." I started to walk to the back next to shane and got a lot of death glares from some of the girls. Wow. Real nice. I sat down and Shane grabbed my hand and gave it a slight squeeze. But then what surprised me is that he kept held of it. The bell rand and he helped me up and grabbed my books and we then went to the first lesson.

The whole day had gone by in a daze. Shane never left my side and i still got all the death glares from girls. It is now lunch and I start walking out the class with Shane.

"So, where do we go for lunch in a place like this?"

"Well the canteen's not too bad."

"Canteen? Do you mean cafeteria?" He laughed at this.

"Yeah, we call it Canteen here though." Right weird.

"SHANE! MITCHIE!" We turned around and Nate and Jason were coming towards us. There yelling also caused quite a few heads to turn. I don't people like fact that im friends with them. Nate and Jason came up to me and hugged me. This really made the girls give me death glares.

"Come on lets go get lunch." Nate had said and we all made our way to the canteen as they call it.

We had all got sandwiches and decided to eat outside seeing as it was such a nice day. Something which i never got in England. We had eaten our sandwiches and were just hanging out on the grass. Shane and Nate were throwing the ball to each other and i was lying on the ground and Jason was sat with me.

"So where's Tess?" I asked subtly but divine to know.

"Oh she doesn't go to school. Her mum hired her a tutor. THANK GOD."

What you don't like here either J?" Thats what i started to call him.

"Of course not. He's been such a jackass since he started dating her. Though, since your little 'thing' last night he has been A LOT better, i don't know what went on between you to but thanks." I was about to say that i had no idea what he was on about but i was interrupted.

"Hey Mitchie! You should join us and have some fun!" Shane yelled. I looked at him like he was stupid.

"And what exactly can i do with this big cast on my leg?" He looked at me and smirked then started walking towards me.

"What are you doing?" He just continued to smirk.

"You see." Next thing i know he's pulling me up then up onto his back. He started spinning around. I started laughing like crazy.

"Shane! Put me down! NOW!"

"Yeah.. no. I don't think that's going to happen." Nate and Jason were laughing at this too. I noticed everyone staring at us.

"What's going on here." Shane stopped suddenly and turned to face the voice of who just said this. Tess.
