that?
"Uhh, yeah just not 100%. Come on." I said starting towards the office doors with Tom. "Jess, you coming?"
"Yes, of course." She said skipping over to us.
We pushed the doors open and walked around to the front. We all walked up to the office desk.
"Um, excuse me? I was wondering where I need to get my timetable from?" He enquired in a friendly tone.
Mrs Perkins one of the office ladies walked over to him at the desk. "And what is your name?"
"Tom Hogarth." He replied.
"Ahh yes. Um, just go into Mr Grebert's office and he'll tell you the rest." She said with a slight smile forming on her lips.
"Who is Mr Grebert?" Tom asked as I said thank you and stepped back from the counter.
"Year 7,9 and 11's deputy principal and his office is right there." I said waving my hand at Mr Greberts office door.
"Okay, coming?"
"No, me and Jess will wait here." I said with the emotion I hoped was comforting. Tom started to look nervous as he turned around and wandered into His office. Jess and I sat on the couches and laughed silently until Tom was done.
The school tour

We were shushed multiple times by Mrs Perkins and we just laughed even harder every time. Tom wandered out Mr Grebert's office studying his timetable very hard. Jess and I jumped out of our seats and he followed us out of the office into the warm canteen quad that had very little people in it for once.
"What class are you in?" I asked turning towards the library.
"I don't know.." he replied. I grabbed the timetable out of his hands and studied it.
"ohmYGOD!! YAY!"I shouted with my voice rising with the excitement flowing through my body incredibly fast.
"WHAT! WHAT! WHAT!" Jess said snatching the paper out of my hands.
"You're in 7-2!" I smiled brightly!
"Who's class is that?" He asked curiously.
"MINE!" I said hugging him. "And Jess's, Zoe's and Maddy's, But you haven't met two of them!" I said.
"Oh my god you are!" Jess said. I stood back and starting to feel slightly, well actually very, embarrassed about hugging him.
"Oh that is so AWESOME!" He said sharing our enthusiasm.
"Oh its Ca-" Jess started but then froze and glanced at my face. I spun around and saw Cam walking straight towards us.
"Oh right." I said turning the other way and starting to walk. "Its okay Jess I have to show Tom around you hang with Cam." I took a final glance over my shoulder. DAMN! why did I do that. He saw me and smiled so now I have to react. "Hello Cameron."
"Hey Cam!" Jess looked so cute and innocent right then, like a puppy.
"Hey Jess, hey Jasi." He winked at me. I rolled my eyes then realized that Tom was still there looking at me with every inch of his faced covered in confusion. Just then Cam realized that Tom was there.
"Oh right," I said slapping my forehead, "Tom, Cameron. Cameron, Tom." I said and the shook hands.
"Are you new?" Cam asked and I swear I heard jealousy in his voice.
"Uhh, yes I am. Just starting today." Tom said awkwardly.
"Oh really? I just moved her yesterday. The people here aren't nice. You should go back to your old school." Cam said.
"Um, Cameron what do you think you're saying?" I asked.
"I'm just warning him." He shrugged.
"What about Jess? Is she mean?" I asked. I was honestly stunned that he had just said that.
"Jess?" He asked.
"Jess.. The person standing next to you?" I asked.
He glanced sideways. "Oh, hello I'm Cameron." He greeted.
"Cam? We met yesterday..." Jess said.
"What? Oh that's right. You're not who I thought you were.." he said.
"Cameron, seriously?" I asked.
"Sorry, I just had a mind blank." He said.
"Um, okay... Jess are you gonna come with us still?" I asked wanting to get away from Cam as fast as I could.
"Yeah, I'll come." She said looking at Cam with a weird look on her face.
"Cool." I smiled turning around and wandering away.
"Where are you going?" Cameron asked running after us.
"Away from you." I snapped.
"Jasi?" Jess asked.
"Yes?" I said.
"I think I'm going gonna go with Cam." Jess said.
"But Jessie- Never mind. Go with him." I said glaring at Cam. She left me and Tom and trailed after Cam.
"Um, Jas was he right?" Tom asked.
"No he is just jealous of you." I answered turning back to him. "Anyway on with tour." I smiled leading up the concrete hill towards science labs.
"Are you sure?" Damn! Cam had made Tom worried.
"Yes I'm sure. If anyone tried to hurt you they will have to go through me and all your friends, okay?" I stopped and turned to face him.
"Awh, you're such a good friend!" He smiled.
I smiled back and actually started the tour. "Okay, Tom this is the science block and that makes that the science quad. This is Sammy, Maddy, Bronte and Emily." I said gesturing to the people and places that surrounded us. All of them, except Sammy who was texting, turned and stared at Tom. Oh my GOD!
"Um, hello all." Tom gave an awkward wave.
"Anyway this way." I said leading him away from my creepy friends.
"Where are we going now?" He asked as I led towards the L block. I glanced around the canteen quad for Jess and Cam but I couldn't find them.
I smiled at Tom. "Around the school. That is the library and this is the L block." I said. "That is L9, the religion classroom but also the religion classroom. That is L10 where we have Language Thursdays and Fridays." I walked along the bridge that led to the other half of the L block and behind the Staff room. "Down there that is the drama shed and they're old lockers." I pushed open the door and held it open for him. "Those are the other maths classrooms. That is ours, L13." I said continuing down the stairs and then down stairs again that led to the bottom half of the L block. That was where we saw Mrs Crether.
"Hello!" She smiled.
"Hey Mrs Crether. This is Tom. He just moved here. Tom this is Mrs Crether our maths teacher." I introduced the two of them.
"Another new kid. Is he in 7-2?" She asked.
"Yes I am." He smiled warmly.
"That's nice."
"Well we have to finish the tour before the bell goes so, see you in class!" I smiled walking down the rest of the stairs with Tom in tow. He smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs Crether.
"Okay. So down here we have L6, our english classroom, L5, our other english classroom and more lockers." I laughed and walked along behind the library and in front of the Drama shed. "Hey Ash. What are you doing down here?" I asked stopping in front of him.
"Oh, bloody year seveners bought our table!" He complained.
"Hah, unlucky." I laughed at him. "Oh Ash, this is Tom. Tom this is my brother Ash."
"Hello." Tom said.
"This is Tom? Oh and I don't care. Now go away!" Ash said.
"SORRY! Bye." I said walking away with Tom.
"Was that your brother?" Tom asked.
"Haha yeah." I smiled.
"Whoa." He said quietly.
"So this is L4, ICT classroom. L3, no relevance to our class. L2 my roll call classroom, again no relevance. L1 still no relevance. Wait where is your roll call room?" I stopped and asked him.
"Um... I don't know..." He replied.
"Pass me your timetable." I said and he did willingly. I read the first box of the table. "L1.. Hah that's right there." I said gesturing to the door with L1 written on it.
"So, when do I have to go there?" He asked.
"You go there every morning of everyday for another six years." I said.
"Oh yay!" He smiled sarcastically and mimicked excited hand gestures which made me laugh.
"So, do you wanna go down to where Rory is or what?" I asked.
"Um, I don't know..." he laughed.
"If you don't know where to go first when you get let out of roll call wait here and I'll find you and show you the way." I said. "I'm gonna go to my friends because well I'm going to have to bear their teases sometime, best to get it over and done with. Even though it will lead on through the whole day." I smiled.
"Can I come with you?" He asked.
"Hah yeah sure." I replied once again leading him onto to somewhere new.

I paraded us up the stairs and into the library.
"Oh yeah, this is the library by the way.." I said.
"Oh really?" He said mockingly.
"Ahaha Shuddup!" I said lightly hitting him. I skipped over to Gabby and wrapped my arms around her."Hello amazing person!"
"Hello Jasi!" She said hugging me back. "Oh, and who is this?" She wandered over beside Tom.
"Gabby, this is Tom. Tom, this is Gabby." I introduced. "And this is Mighty, Bryant and McEwan. Oh and you've talked to Sammy before."
"Mighty, Bryant and McEwan?" He asked.
"Oh right, Michelle, Emily and Emily." I giggled.
"Where's Jess?!" Sammy asked.
"With Cameron.." I said.
"Ah. Who the bloody hell is Cameron?" She asked. I just rolled my eyes and then the bell rang.

Cameron's attack

"No seriously! He has stolen my JESS!" Sammy said.
"Sammy, he is just a guy that isn't the best person around and Jess doesn't think so. I gotta go now. Bye Sammy." I said walking out of the library with Tom.
"Cya!" Sammy waved and wandered off to her roll call.

I walked down the steps that led to L2.
"Here you go. a friend of mine is in this roll call. Keep your eye out for her. Her name is Becky. Long brown hair." I smiled at him. "Bye. Have fun."
"Yeah.. Bye," he said walking into the classroom.

The door to L2 was already open. I walked into the room and stood beside Ms Smith's
