Chapter 5

                                    

                                          
I awoke the next day to the blaring sound of my alarm. I pressed snooze once ( a new record for me) before getting out of bed and going to get ready. First I went to go to the toilet and brushed my teeth before coming back to my room and putting on my new uniform. It felt colder today as I pulled my jumper over my shoulders and threw my blazer over myself. I tied up my air forces and began packing my bag for the day. I'd decided that I would come back to my room and get changed before going to the gym later on. I placed a few textbooks and some school books into my bag along with my pencil case and laptop. I took out my phone and checked the time 7:55, better to be early than late I thought to myself. As I left my room I bumped into Erin walking down to breakfast as well.
"Hey, how'd you sleep" she asked
"I slept alright but it's so much colder up here than in London" I replied
"Yeah it always is up north,but it's particularly cold this year" she explained
We walked down to breakfast together creating small talk as we did. Erin wasn't in my form as she'd already explained she was in 12R while I was in 12G.We got our food from the breakfast station before Erin took me to sit with her and her friends. The breakfast was slightly more limited than dinner but still in excess amounts. I went for a simple bowl of porridge with honey on this cold morning. 
"So this is Abigail, Katie,Lucy and Claire" she said as she pointed at each of the girls
"Great to meet you all" I responded 
Over breakfast we continued to chat away about future plans and what London was like. I couldn't help but feel a small twinge of sadness as I explained how good my old life had been. Soon enough breakfast was finished, it was 8:25 and everyone began walking to their form rooms. I pulled out my timetable and looked at the room number - 582. I went of on my way to find it. I found the room and went inside, it was a science lab. My form tutor introduced herself - Miss Greene a biology teacher, my biology teacher. She seemed nice enough and soon enough the room around me filled up.
"Ok so I'm going to start taking the register now" stated Miss Greene "Is everyone here"
As Miss Greene asked this Mrs Thomson's words echoed in my head 'he's in your year and your form' so where was George.
"Louisa"called Miss Greene
"Here" I replied just as George barged in interrupting my response. Just then I realized he hadn't been at breakfast either. He looked a particular state his shirt was untucked and his tie was loose around his neck. In his mouth was a piece of toast with butter on .
"And why are you late Mr Marks" Miss Greene asked
"Sorry, my alarm didn't go off, I was just making myself a quick slice of toast" he said while he removed said piece of toast from his mouth.
"It's alright for today but in the future it's unacceptable" responded Miss Greene
George just nodded before taking his seat next to me. Miss Greene finished the register and we started our introduction activities. We didn't have our first two lessons today, as we had form until break. Miss Greene continued talking about how this year was basically the decision year for our entire future. Beside me I could hear George's stomach rumbling. I remembered I had packed an apple for my snack, but porridge keeps me full anyways. I reached down into my bag and handed it to him discreetly underneath the table. 
"Thanks" he mouthed in response.
By break everyone in the form had introduced themselves to one another and were familiar with the school days layout. We left the room and went off for break ready to start our lessons after. I went with Erin and everyone during break and halfway through George approached me outside on the patio with a green apple in his hand. 
"A replacement" he smiled at me
"You didn't need to get me another one, but thank you" I smiled back
With that he walked back to join his friends in what looked like some form of animalistic wrestling but not without winking my way first. I rejoined the girls and their extremely interesting conversation on rating draco malfoy's hotness.
The bell signaled the end of break and I went to my first lesson of year 12 and first lesson in my new school: Psychology.
