So I have had an Idea and would like to hear your views. Would you like some future chapters from other people's points of views or would you like me to stick just in Anna's point of view? Please let me know.

I sat on the bed looking at my uniform in the mirror. Today was my first day at the new school and to say I was nervous is an understatement. I hadn't slept which meant I looked horrific, all though make up had done me a few favours. Still I didn't know if I could do it. Even though I'd promised Rick, Mike and My parents. I was tempted to run but Carmen had sat there talking to me, like she knew what was running through my head. With one last look at my uniform I pulled a clip into my hair and pushed back a section of my fringe. Oddly it made me feel fresh and new, Carmen gave it an approving nod before leaning down and giving me a hug.

"Good luck, they'll love you don't worry. I know it's hard but at least you'll have Rick so you're not going in completely blind."

She left the room and I heard her running down stairs obviously realising she was late. I was lucky that I didn't have to get the bus like everyone else. Our school was just down the road so was easy enough to get to. Giving me more time to panic. My thoughts where interrupted by a knock on the door. Rick stood their leaning on the door. Johnny following suit stood behind Rick.

"Hey Anna, wanted to wish you luck. Especially as you have to put up with Rick all day. See you later." He smiled and waved before walking off.

I turned to look at Rick who had an annoyed look on his face, staring at Johnny.

"Rick what's up?"

Still looking towards Johnny he forced out his words.

"Nothing, just him. I don't know what his problem is?"

"He just said good luck, how is that a problem?"

"It's just…don't worry. "

He turned to face me, the look of annoyance still on his face. Before turning to a grin.

"You look good by the way. Blazers suit you and have you done something new with your hair?"

"Thanks, Carmen made me put my fringe back. She said it would give me a new feel. It does make me feel a little bit more confident. Are you sure we can't just bunk off?"

"You'd hate yourself if you did. Come on, we have to get going now to be on time."

-The school looked huge as we walked to towards it. Making me feel petrified, Rick had said there wasn't many kids but a place this huge had to have a lot. I froze on the spot, only to be slightly pulled forward by Ricks hand on my shoulder.

"Come on shorty, I'll introduce you to some of my friends first and then we can go and get you all signed up."

"So your friends understand the home thing?"

"Yeah they're totally cool with it, but they don't know about my parents."

I was about to point out that neither did I but we had clearly reached his friends so I didn't bring it up.

"Guys this Anna, She just moved her and well yeah."

I gained a response of nods and hey's. Which I returned as happily as possible, but my nerves where definitely coming through.

"We'll see you at lunch, we were kinda supposed to go and register Anna straight away."

Walking away I felt the eyes on my back. The chatter and curiosity of why I'm in that place with Rick. How wrong all there guesses would be. It makes me feel kinda excited to talk about out of interest for once. I had no idea where I was going but I followed Rick like I was his shadow. Hoping that I would get a map, otherwise I would be very lost by lunch time.

-Sat in English my first lesson, I realised I missed this. The new facts and learning, it gives you this buzz when you get something right. Watching the room everyone seemed to be similar to me on learning levels. I had been placed in a really bad group before and because I wanted to learn the answers I was shouted at. My homework would be ripped up, especially if I was the only one who had done it (which I was most the time.) The teacher was talking about Romeo and Juliet and how we would be studying it for the Shakespeare exam. I was used to the text; I had read it many times. So I let my mind wonder to what the other kids would be studying, the younger ones would have it easy. Getting harder for Carmen, Tee and Johnny who were choosing there GCSE's or in Johnny's case starting his mock prep. I had no idea why Rick and I were in a different school but I am guessing it had been Rick's choice to come here and they had presumed I would do well here.

Rick was in science, I was glad I wasn't in that subject with him. Science isn't my strongest point, especially since I am a bit clumsy and that doesn't mix very well with Chemicals. He said he would come and meet me to show me the lunch room and all that jazz. Something felt odd though; he was so caring and didn't want to leave me alone with anyone. I was flattered to be honest but it was a little bit odd. Not that I would be asking him to stop because once walking out of the class room and seeing him, I felt safe and complete.

-The walk home was a lot more pleasant than the one to school. I wasn't worried out of mind so I talked more freely with Rick. I felt more comfortable and trusting of him because he had kept his promise, I came home safe.

"You know you still owe me an ice cream. I went to school after all."

"I'm not sure if I actually do seeing as you enjoyed yourself. I know how about a compromise, we are not needed home for another half an hour so how about a coffee? There is a place down here Frank works. Always a good discount."

"You just want to get a cheaper deal then ice cream. Why not I could use a coffee."

"Good because they do the best afterschool coffees."

He offered me his arm and made a fancy gesture as though to lead the way.

"After you my lady."

"Look at you boxer boy, all grown up."

"I think you're the one who grew up. Facing your fears and all."

"Sure, whatever. Let's just get this coffee shall we?"

-I was used to never seeing my family. I think I was the only person in the home who hadn't been to see the 'family' yet. Even Rick had talked to them, but something felt wrong about even seeing them. So when they joined the table at dinner mid conversation about my new day. I was shocked; I didn't know what to say to them. So I blanked them, they were ruining my happiness. They had decided to start a new family with these people and so had I. They just weren't part of mine anymore. I was oddly happy with that. So I carried on talking to Tee and Carmen and forgot the past. This was easier than I expected.
