"Luke, it's time to get up"
Luke was woken by Mrs wormwood voice; the boy quickly got dressed and headed down stairs. Luke walked into the kitchen to find Mrs wormwood cooking breakfast.
"Oh look at you, you look so smart in your uniform" Mrs wormwood told him.
Mrs wormwood went up to Luke and straightened his tie.
"My little boys all grown up" She continued.
Luke blushed a little as he sat down to his breakfast.
"So you all ready for your new school," She asked.
"Yeah, I guess so" Luke replied not sounding very enthusiastic.
Mrs wormwood sat down next to him.
"What's the matter?" She asked.
"I'm just nervous that's all" Luke answered.
"You'll be fine, now eat up you don't want to be late on your first day" Mrs wormwood added.
Luke eaten his breakfast, he then grabbed his school bag and headed for the door.
"You got everything" Mrs wormwood called after him.
Luke stopped and the door and turned to Mrs wormwood.
"Yeah, I think so" Luke said as he put his bag on his back.
"Good, sorry I can't drive you to school, but I've got to get to work" She explained.
"That's ok, I don't mind catching the bus," Luke answered.
"I'll pick you up about 4 ok" Mrs wormwood told him.
"Ok, bye mum" Luke replied as he left the house.
Luke quickly walked to the bus stop, where a boy with black spiked hair, who looked the same age as Luke, was waiting.
"How's it going" the boy greeted.
"Fine thanks" Luke said.
"Your new aren't you" the boy continued.
Luke nodded.
"Yeah, mum and me just moved into number 13" Luke explained.
"Your kidding, I live just opposite, I'm Ryan by the way" The boy replied.
"My names Luke" Luke told him.
"So where you from Luke" Ryan asked.
"Harrow" Luke answered.
Just then a group of girls came down an alleyway, and headed towards the bus stop.
"Oh uh, here comes trouble" Ryan added.
"So did you see Tyler last night" one of the girls asked.
"Where were you when I got over Tyler" another girl replied who appeared to be the ringleader of the group.
"Managed to escape did he" Ryan said.
All the girls turned to him.
"What's it got to do with you?" the ringleader demanded.
"Oh nothing, it's just funny how you keep getting dumped Kelsey" Ryan replied.
"Oh I'm not the one who got dumped, unlike you Ryan" Kelsey Hooper shot back.
The other girls laughed and followed Kelsey onto the bus, which had just arrived.
"What was that all about" Luke asked as the two boys got onto the bus.
"Long story, lets just say you need watch out for that lot," Ryan continued.
"Shame you didn't get that advice" A voice said.
Luke and Ryan turned to a girl sat on the bus.
"Oh hey Chloe" Ryan greeted as he and Luke sat opposite her.
"So who's your friend?" she asked.
"This is Luke, he's just moved here" Ryan introduced.
"Pleased to meet you" Luke greeted.
"He's almost as cute as you Ri" Chloe continued with a wink.
Luke looked a slightly embarrassed, and Ryan grinned at him trying not to laugh, Chloe then took a bottle out of her bag and drank from it.
"Oh your not drinking that bubble shock stuff again are you" Ryan said.
"Yeah, it's just come out again, in fact there due to bring out a new flavour, that they say even the 2% who don't like it will love" Chloe explained.
"So they say," Ryan added.
"It's true, my mum works for bubble shock, she tells me this new flavour is going to change everything," Luke told them.
"Oh don't tell me you like the shock as well" Ryan asked him.
"Can't stand the stuff" Luke replied with a grin.
"Oh welcome to Ealing Luke" Ryan told him as he gave Luke a mock hug.
"So could you get us a private tour of the shock factory?" Chloe asked luke.
"Chloe" Ryan said.
"Well no harm in asking" Chloe replied.
"Sorry it's strictly staff only, not even I'm aloud in there" Luke explained.
"Oh that's too bad, what about some free samples," Chloe continued.
"Chloe" Ryan repeated a little louder.
"What" She added.
Now it was Luke's turn to try not to laugh.
On the other side of town, Clyde and Rani were sat in a library looking through the archives, of one of the local papers on a computer.
"Here we are" Rani said as she pointed at the screen.
"Bubble shock factory destroyed in explosion" Clyde read.
"Looks like someone stopped the banes plan in this time line too" Rani continued.
"So how come Luke's with Mrs W," Clyde asked.
"Obviously in this time line, Sarah Jane and Maria didn't rescue him," Rani answered.
"Hey look at this bit," Clyde said as he pointed at the screen.
"Eye witnesses reported seeing a man in his late twenties fleeing the scene, police believe this man to be responsible for the explosion" Rani read.
"You don't think it was mark do you" Clyde asked.
"Could be" Rani answered.
"It doesn't sound like Sarah Jane was even involved" Clyde said.
Rani suddenly turned to Clyde.
"Clyde that's it" She almost shouted.
"What is" Clyde asked.
"In this time line Sarah Jane probably never moved to Ealing" Rani replied.
"Would explained why she didn't rescue Luke, but what about Maria" Clyde added.
"I'm guessing she also didn't move here, the doctor did say more than one event had been changed" Rani told him.
"So how do we find Sarah Jane and Maria if they never moved here" Clyde asked.
"I'm not sure," Rani said.
Rani suddenly stopped.
"Wait a sec, if mark did stop the bane, then in this time line he must be living in ealing" She continued.
"How can you be so sure" Clyde asked.
"Well think about it, someone must have stopped the slitheen turning off the sun right," Rani explained.
"Yeah, and stopped the Gorgon and Kudlak, wait what's the date today" Clyde said.
"3rd of September why?" Rani asked.
" Remember what happened when you first moved here" Clyde answered.
"Odd bob" Rani replied with a shiver.
Clyde quickly tapped in 3rd of September into the computers search bar,
"Police widen search as more go missing" Clyde read.
"He's already started, but how does this help us" Rani asked.
"If mark is living here, he'll be investigating the disappearances like we did with Sarah Jane" Clyde replied.
Clyde began to grin looking pleased with him self.
"Ok, so where did you first see odd bob" Rani asked.
"In the school toilets when finny went missing" Clyde answered.
"Then we best get over to the school" Rani added.
Clyde and Rani quickly left the library.
Luke had now arrived at the school, and was on his way to his first lesson, when someone ran into him.
"Out of my way kid" A teenage boy yelled as he pushed Luke into some lockers.
"Hey what's going on here?" Another voice demanded.
Luke and the teenager turned to see the headmaster of the school.
"Just a accident sir" The teen explained.
"Don't you lie to me Zeke Hungerford, I saw the whole thing, and that was no accident," the head continued.
"But sir" Zeke protested.
"My office now" the headmaster added.
"Yes sir" Zeke replied as he walked away.
He turned to Luke.
"Your dead" The teenager whispered.
Zeke continued to walk down the corridor, as the head went over to Luke.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
Luke nodded as he got up.
"I think so," Luke answered as he felt his head.
Luke could feel a wet patch on his head, and when Luke looked at his hand he could see blood, Luke had cut his head when he was pushed into the lockers.
"We best get the nurse to look at that" the head replied.
The headmaster led Luke to the school nurse, and headed back to his office where Zeke was waiting for him.
"First day back and your already causing trouble" the headmaster told the boy.
The teenager didn't answer and just looked at the floor, the headmaster sat at his desk.
"That boy you pushed into the lockers is very important to this school, and I don't want people like you upsetting him while he's a student here" the head explained.
Zeke remained silent.
"Detention every lunch time this week, you can report to mr Scot for litter picking duty as well," the headmaster said.
"Yes sir" Zeke replied as he slowly walked out of the room.
Luke had now been patched up by the nurse, and was on his way back to his lesson, but as he headed down a deserted corridor, he could feel the hairs on the back of his neck, he felt he was being watched.
"Hello" Luke said as he looked around.
The light in the corridor began to flicker, and Luke could hear a voice.
"Luke" the voice whispered.
"Hello" Luke repeated.
"Luke, come to me" the voice continued.
Luke slowly began to walk towards the voice.
"Who's there?" Luke asked.
"I'm waiting for you Luke," the voice added.
The lights continued to flicker, as a hand reached out and grabbed Luke's shoulder.
"Luke you ok"
Luke turned to see Ryan. Luke took a deep breath.
"Thought I heard a voice" Luke explained.
"Probably one of the first years messing about" Ryan replied.
Ryan then noticed Luke's head.
"Hey what happened to your head?" he asked.
"Someone pushed me into some lockers" Luke told him.
"Oh man, you all right" Ryan asked.
"Yeah, the nurse soon patched me up" Luke answered.
"So that's where you were, anyway best get you back to English, mr Jackson staring to worry where you are" Ryan said.
Clyde and Rani had arrived at the school, and were claiming over the fence.
"Your sure about this" Rani asked.
Clyde turned to her.
"Well we can't exactly walk though the front door can we" Clyde replied.
Clyde and Rani headed over to a fire door, which Clyde managed to open.
"Never thought I'd ever sneak into school," Clyde continued.
"Lets just make sure we don't get caught" Rani replied as they went inside.
Clyde and Rani made there way to the boys toilets.
"Here we are" Clyde said.
"Right you check them out while I keep watch" Rani told him.
"Hey, why do I have to go in there alone" Clyde protested.
"Hello boys toilets, what if there's a group of lads in there" Rani answered.
"Ok, I'm going. I'm going " Clyde replied and he headed into the toilets.
"Hello anyone in here" Clyde called as he looked around the toilets.
There was no answer and Clyde slowly walked up to the mirror.
"Come on then odd bob, show your self" Clyde said nervously to himself.
Clyde then heard a noise behind him, and quickly turned to the toilet cubical,
"Who's there?" Clyde asked as he slowly walked towards them.
Clyde opened the doors one by one until he came to the last door, but before he could open it the door flew open and a hooded figure jumped out and grabbed Clyde.
