Beliving In Each Other Chapter 1 ~*~~*~ The palms of my hands were sweating as I stood outside the classroom door beside the head master “Now is there anything else you need to know?” the headmaster asked I nodded for no as he opened the classroom door “Mrs.Elsen this isshe’ll be joining your tutor group” the headmaster said “Welcomewhy don’t you tell us a bit about yourself” Mrs.Elsen asked me “Hi my namesI moved her from Holland and I’m hoping to have a good life living in England well for as long as I can live here my dad he’s in the army so we get moved around a lot” I said smiling “I’m sure you will, now could you please take a seat next to” the class sniggered as I walked up to the table of ahaired lad it was the only spare seat so I presumed it was thisperson he smiled a gorgeous cheeky smile at me as I sat down I smiled back “Hi I’mnice to meet you”said extending his hand I shook it and replied “Nice to meet you twoI hope we can be friends” “Wow someone wants to be my friend”said “Who wouldn’t?” I asked “Everyone that’s why they laughed when you were told to sit next to me”told me “Now you two know each other please be quiet” Mrs.Elsen said I kept quiet for the rest of the lesson but I couldn’t help thinking about whathad said I watched him in other lessons during the day as I was told to sit next to him in every class. “Hey I’m ” a girl said sitting next to me in the canteen “Hi I’m” I replied “I know everyone’s talking about you cos you chat with”said “Sorry but I don’t understand” I said “Oh well Hunsure he may be gorgeous but he’s a freak” “Huh?” I said not understanding “He’s a bit slow some people put it as a bit thick”responded “Oh but that doesn’t make him a freak I think he’s lovely” I replied “Whatever”said getting up and leaving. The rest of the day went quickly I was on my way home and tried to catch up withas he lived in the same street as me “wait up” I said running to catch him up “Noyou shouldn’t be seen with me” “But why?” I asked “Because according to everyone else I’m a freak and it could damage your profile too”said slowing down a bit “I don’t think you’re a freak and I don’t have a profile” I said “But you do the guys in the locker room were talking about how fit you were and that they’d love to have you but because you hung around with me it would never be possible” told me “Look I don’t care about them, they’re all shallow am I the only one who can see you for what you truly are” I said as we started walking with each other “Which is what?”asked “Creative” I replied “don’t lie please I’m just thick and don’t get things just leave me alone”said disappearing into a house I sighed and carried on walking with my head hung low until I reached my house I got in and ran upstairs lying on my bed I felt like crying foraboutbut why? I didn’t let any tears fall but the lump in my throat was painful I stayed there until my mum called me for dinner “Hey Hun have a good time at school?” she asked I nodded “It’s so strange Mum” I said lowing my head “Well it always is” Mum said “No, no it’s not it’s about this lad calledI had to sit next to him in all of my lessons and we got on really well but everyone else calls him a freak because he’s slow or as some put it a bit thick I don’t think it’s fair and I only want to help him but he says he doesn’t want to damage my profile I don’t know what to do” I told my mum everything “Well if he doesn’t want you’re help you can’t force it upon him” Mum said “I know but I see him different to everyone else” I said “Oh really” Mum said in a high delighted tone “What’s that suppose to mean” I asked “Nothing” Mum said and left the room. ~*~~*~ “So how was school son?” Mum asked as we sat down at the table “Well odd” I replied “Like what?” Mum asked me “Well this new girlstarted at school today and she was told to sit next to me in every lesson and we got along well but you know everyone at school calls me a freak because I have dyslexia she said she doesn’t see me that way she said she see’s me as creative” I replied “You are creative does this girl know you have Dyslexia” Mum asked I nodded “You should tell her” Mum replied “What no she might think I’m a freak like everyone else” “If she thought that she would have straight away right?” “I guess so maybe I’ll think about it” I said and finished my dinner.
