Chapter 1 - Where It All Started

"Hey Josh! Wait up!" I say, running after my best-friend of 2 years now.
"Hey, you okay?" He says, slinging his arm over my shoulders.
"Yeah. We've got English now, haven't we?" I ask him, as we have nearly identical timetables and we're pretty much in every class together. Accept when Josh has PE, I have a free period for revision and extra classes etc because I struggle a lot. Most of the time I spend it with either Mr Clarkson or Mr Mead as they don't mind me sitting in on their classes.
"Yeah. Oh- dad asked if you wanted to come round for dinner tonight?" Josh asked, as we arrived outside his dad's classroom.
"Ermm, I'll message my mum but it should be okay." Mr Clarkson lets us in as we're the first to arrive.
"Sir, is it alright if I quickly text my mum about tonight?" I ask, as not everyone is here yet.
"Quickly" He says, handing out books. I pull out my phone and message my mum before grabbing my pen. Mr Clarkson gets on with the lesson and soon enough the bell rings, signalling the end of the lesson and the start of lunch.
"You two, wait a minute" Tom says, allowing the rest of the class to leave.
"Are you coming tonight?" He asks, looking at me. I get my phone out of my bag and see that my mum replied.
"Yeah...if you can drive me home afterwards" I say, showing him my mum's message.
"Of course. right. Go and enjoy your lunch, I'll see you after school" He says, letting us go.

After lunch, I head to Mr Mead's room as I'm meant to have PE.
"Hello" I say, walking in and dumping my stuff in the corner.
"Need a hand with equipment?" I say, noticing that he's sorting things out.
"Yeah, thanks JJ" He says before showing me what he needed out and on what bench etc... I got on and helped him but out all the equipment and then all of the work books before grabbing my maths revision book out of my bag alongside my notepad. I sit down on the spare seat on the front bench and get my pen out. I flip to the section with practice questions and get to work. It gets to about halfway through the lesson when I hear something going on behind me. I look up and see Mr Mead trying to cool two-year sevens down who look like their about to kick off. Next thing I know, one of the year sevens jumps at the other ones and starts to swing for him. I jump from my seat and move to restrain one of the boys as Mr Mead holds back the others.
"Right you two, cooler now!" He shouts, escorting his pupil to the door. I do the same with mine.
"DO you want me to take them down?" I ask him, thinking that they might kick off again. He nods his head before going back to teach the class.
"Right, move it" I say, giving the two students a nudge in the direction of the cooler. On the way, Miss Mason stops us.
"What's going on here?" She asks.
"Well he was-" Both the boys started only for Miss Mason to cut them off.
"I was asking JJ" She says sternly.
"These two thought it would be a good idea to start fighting in Mr Mead's lessons. I'm walking them to the cooler to make sure they don't start again" I say. She nods and continues down the corridor, probably now going of to see Mr Mead. I continue up the stairs and walk the boys to the cooler.
"Right, you over there. And you at the front there" I say, splitting the boys up, so one is at the back and one is at the front.
"These 2 were fighting in Mr Mead's lesson. I'll bring their stuff up nearer the end of the lesson" I say, speaking to teacher on cooler duty. I then walk out and head back down to the science corridor. I smile at Mr Mead before sitting down and continuing with my maths revision.

20 minutes go by and I've been stuck on the same question for about 15 minutes. It starts to get to the point where I'm getting frustrated so I slam my book closed ad put my stuff back into my bag. Mr Mead obviously notices as he walks over to me.
"Are you okay?" He asks.
"Yeah. Ermm, should I take their things to the cooler now?" I ask, glancing at the clock. He nods, and I grab my things and collect the boy's things before making my way back to the cooler. When I get there, Miss Mason is stood at the front of the room, talking to the boys about their behaviour and how it won't be tolerated. I sneak in and place the boy's things on the front table.
"Thank you, JJ" She says. I smile and leave, heading to my last lesson of the day English with Mr Clarkson.

"Hey" Josh says, when we meet up on the way.
"Hi" I say quietly.
"You okay?" He says, nudging me a little.
"Yeah" I reply with a sigh.
"No, you're not what's up?" He asks, as we enter the classroom and sit on 'our' table.
"I just have a headache, that's all." I say, giving him a small smile. He nods his head and soon enough the whole class has arrived, so Mr Clarkson gets on with the lesson. Throughout the lesson I wasn't really paying that much attention as I couldn't concentrate much. Mr Clarkson obviously realised this as he walked over to our table and knelt down next to me.
"You okay JJ?" He asks, glancing at my book.
"Yeah, sorry. I've just got a headache that's all" I say, grabbing my pen.
"Just do one and two, yeah?" He says, referring to the questions we were supposed to be answering. I nod my head and get on with the work as he walks back over to the desk.

Once the lesson is over, me and Josh help put the books away before we all head to the car. I get in the back with Josh and Tom drives us back to his place. Whilst Tom goes off to sort out dinner, me and Josh go into the living room and find a movie to watch. It's not long before dinner is ready and we all sit around the pizza, digging into the pizza and chips that Tom cooked. After dinner we re-treat back to the living room to finish the movie. By the end of the movie, I'm practically asleep on Josh's shoulder.
"Come on then, let's get you home, sleepy-head" Tom says, as Josh helps me up. I sleepily put on my shoes and grab my bag before saying goodnight to Josh.
"Night..." I sigh, giving him a hug.
"Night...I'll see you tomorrow yeah?" He says. I nod my head slightly before following Tom out to the car. I dig through my bag and find my keys asTom drives the 10-minute drive back to my house.
"Thanks for dinner and the lift..." I say, getting out of the car.
"No worries. Now go to bed" He laughs. I walk over to the front door and unlock it before turning around and waving to Tom, letting him know that he can drive off. I go inside and lock the door behind me. I walk into the living room and see mum on the sofa watching a film.
"Hi. Goodnight" I say sleepily, making my mum laugh.
"Night sweetheart" She says, giving me a smile before I walk upstairs and get changed for bed. I brush my hair and wash my teeth before climbing into bed. I doesn't take me long to fall asleep.
