Lonely Stoner

Chapter 2 - Bellhurst High

Aiden POV

A week has passed since the first day I got here. Gave me time to really look around, Willow even joined me most days, gave me little insights, told me stories. Like how long it took to build areas or little gossips floating around her school, soon to also be my school too since I start tomorrow. Kinda nervous but got nothing else to do. This week also gave me time to get closer to Willow, she's really nice, takes after her mum but is a little more hyperactive. 

So I awoke at the ungodly hour of 6:30 am since school starts at 7:30 and everyone was set on waking up an hour earlier. I'm not used to this time, especially for school. In Frenric I'd sleep in as much as I want, probably skip the first few classes, not that it mattered since me being in class was a rarity and there was no one there to tell me otherwise, either they were scared or just didn't care. I liked that though, gave me more time to run the gang or get high, both of which were better than school.

 This time, however, I did have people who wanted me to go to school and from what I've put together I don't think this new school lets things slide easily. I think teachers actually care about the students, what a nuisance. 

So I got into my uniform, ew. It was navy blue with green stripes along the edge of the blazer. It came with a jumper underneath and a shirt and tie, all with the school logo embedded. I felt stupid and uncomfortable so I loosened the tie, untucked my shirt and undid the top button. It felt much less stuffy and tight as I put on some converse with my trousers draped over to finish it off. And with that I headed downstairs where I was met with the butler Kyle, his name began with a K but I forgot and he seems like a Kyle anyway.

"Good morning master Aiden," He said politely as he handed me what I guessed was my rucksack. I picked it out myself, kinda the only thing I wanted. I took it from him a swung it over my shoulder and grunted when I felt the weight. Bloody hell what's in here?

"It contains all your books, Master Aiden, once you arrive at Bellhurst high they'll assign you a locker to put your books in" Okayyy not gonna lie he's kinda uptight but it's alright, nice to know there's a know it all in the house.

"Uh yeah thanks Kyle," I said with a noticeably forced smile. 

I started to wonder where everyone was but just on time, Willow skipped down the stairs.

"Wanna take my car?" She beamed

She has a car? Wait, no, of course she has a car.

"Uh, sure what car?"

"I got a jeep for my birthday"

Should've guessed she was a jeep girl.

We walked outside and got into the jeep and Willow started the car towards what I presume is going to be hell. She noticed my bag and gave me a reassuring smile. 

"Yeah, first days aren't fun lugging your bag around but don't worry they give you lockers"

I gave her a smile back even though I already knew. We've really hit it off considering I was very reluctant at first. I still haven't smiled much, I'm not an expressive person. Also found out that her mum runs a business with something related to gardens, I think it was she owned a lot of garden stores and brands surrounding it or something. And turns out dad is actually a big record producer, in touch with a lot of famous people apparently. I guess that's kind of cool.

I noticed Willow slowing down as we got closer to what looked like an Academy inspired by Hogwarts, which I'm not gonna complain about. Willow must've seen my wide eyes.

"Yeah, its beautiful isn't it? It is an academy but everyone calls it Bellhurst high so don't worry if people keep calling it that"

I nodded slightly, not really caring much. She then showed me to the front office to make sure I got there and left so she could get to her form.

I sat there for a while until the door opened and in came a boy, quite smaller build than me and wore a depressed look on his face and unlike me actually had his uniform all neatly tucked together.

"Hello, you must be Aiden, I'm Fabian, I'm also new" 

"Hi" I said plainly. 

He looked quite thin but just slightly smaller than me and definitely didn't look like the talking type, which I can defiantly relate to.

"Apparently we're in the same form" He offered as if trying to start a reluctant conversation. It made me realize he was probably nervous about being at a new school like me. 

"Cool, wanna hang out then since we're both new and all" As I said this his eyes glistened a little.

"That be great haha, I don't know anyone here really"

"Cool, me neither"

We continued a casual conversation, complaining about the books and how early it was. Then a lady walked in with a flat face, high posture, and slight grey streaks in her tight ponytail. She was the assistant head (yikes) and was here to show us around, give us our timetables and show us to our lockers. I could already tell we weren't gonna hit it off. I gave some snide comments throughout the tour to which I received a glare, guess her and I aren't gonna be best friends?  

The tour concluded after we propped our bags into our lockers and headed to our form. I kinda glad I met Fabian, he's actually a nice kid who I think low-key judges everyone and we really hit it off. He even told me how his cousin actually goes here too, they just aren't that close. Kinda seems like an asshole to me if he's not even gonna come meet his cousin on his first day.

We were standing in the doorway to our form, checking if it was the right room and as we were about to head inside some guy pushed past me to which I gave a glare, he didn't even apologise.

What a d**k.

We took a seat together at the back cause we both hated people. I kept hearing the obnoxious laugh in the middle seats, the same guy who bumped past me earlier. He and his friends I'm guessing kept going on and on, his laugh kept bouncing throughout the room, god I wished he shut up. Seems like such a prick, I hope he isn't like this all the time cause I might just throw a chair at him. Just as I was getting to the last straw a teacher stepped in.

"Lucas Brooks, please keep quiet while I take the register. I could hear you all the way down the hall," He tusked. I think I'm gonna like this guy.

"Today we have two new students. Aiden Davis and Fabian Jones, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Mr. Griffin and I hope you like our school" He turned to us, gave a smile then turned to his laptop and started to call out names. Some students had turned to take a look at us, some girls even giggled when they saw me, Lucas gave a bored look our way and I wanna smash his face in haha. So that's fun, the first day and I already hate someone's guts, I think that means I'm off to a good start.

Form whizzed by since it was only 10 mins but the one after lunch is 20mins so that's fun, don't know if I'll cope half an hour a day in the same room as Lucas bloody Brooks but oh well, he better shut up.

Classes went by, I was put in lower sets but so was Fabian so its good, though it was a struggle to find some classes since I was very reluctant to ask for help. Before I knew it, it was break and everyone rushed outside or to the canteen or some to the library which I found odd. While they all rushed off I snuck off to find a place to smoke, that Brooks had stressed me out. 

Luckily I found a nice little balcony that I stepped onto, got out my cigs and had a smoke. This is so relaxing. 

"Hey!"

Who?

"Hey you, down there!"

Down here?

"Look up you dumbass"

I looked up to see a girl leaning over the roof looking down on me. Her short black hair waving in the wind. 

"What, who are you?" I questioned

"I'm Rowan"

"Aiden" I said back

"Your gonna get caught smoking there"

"What?"

"Next time don't be stupid and use the roof, no one comes up here, there's a key under the matt"

"Oh-okay, thanks?" 

"The patrol is gonna be coming round there now, good luck haha"

Just as she said that she ducked away onto the roof. Wait did she say patrol?

"You there, what do you think you're doing! Smoking on school grounds!"

Crap, I was nearly finished as well.

"Ugh, who are you"

"My name is Sawyer major, you appear to be new, Fabian I presume?"

"Ah no actually its Aiden" I glared at him, it's like he has a stick up his ass.

"Oh, Davis?" He said surprised

"yeah, Davis" I rolled my eyes, what is he on? He's like the assistant head (not a compliment at that).

"huh" He said, was he looking down on me? Wow, really looking at me like I'm some disgrace. I mean I am but what a tight prick.

"Right well, you got yourself a detention and on the first day too, make sure you attend. Your form tutor will remind you and tell you where to go" He said with a smug look on his face, oh I wanted to punch him, who does he think he is looking down on me like that?

Now I need another smoke.
