Love, Lies And Secrets In Queens

Welcome To Midtown High School

It was the first day. Steph's first day at Midtown High School. She had only just moved to Queens about a week ago. She made the decision to come and move to America to live with her father after her mother passed away 2 months ago. Yes it was hard for her to leave England because she had lived there her whole life but she wanted a new start and staying in England hurt her to much because of the loss of her mother so when her Father told her that she could come and move to America and live with him she of course said yes. Steph needed a fresh start and luckily she already had a good relationship with her Dad and she got on really well with his wife aka her step-mother and her half little sister. Her Father was a very busy and wealthy,  known man so Steph will half to keep who her Father is a secret because if people found out she would be treated very differently. Her Father had just recently decided to buy a place in Queens so Steph had somewhere to stay. He didn't want her going to a school near round where he mainly lived which she could understand because that was the main place where he worked on his stuff and projects and people might of caught on that she was this mans daughter.

But now here she was standing outside Midtown High School, ready for her first day. She was of course feeling super nervous. It was her first day at a new school, in a  new country. She knew it was going to very different than the schools back at home in England. For a start  in England you had to wear a school uniform but here you could wear any kind of clothes you wanted. Steph knew for a start she would already have trouble fitting in because shes not even American. She was at the top of the steps that led into the school. She stood staring at the doors which were opening and closing with loads of students coming in and out. 

"Well here I go I  guess...new school, new life, new start" She said to herself as she slowly walked towards the doors and walked inside the school. 

Going through the doors Steph walked up another set of stairs and she was brought to the sight of the schools hallway which was crowded with many students. She takes a deep breath trying to calm her nerves and goes to find her, locker which she was shown when she got to look round the school the other day.  She finally found her locker and put in her code and opened it. She started to take out the school books she had in her bag. They were so heavy that she couldn't carry them all round all day.  As she takes about 3 books out of her bag, they slip out of her hands and she drops them on the floor.  She lets out a huge sigh and bends down to pick them up. 

"Hey. Need some help?" She hears the voice of a young American boy say as she was trying to pick up her books. He bent down to help her pick them up. From what she could see he was wearing grey jeans and a dark blue sweater. As she slowly got up from bending down, he did aswell and now she was brought face to face with this person. She stood looking at him. He has beautiful brown eyes and his hair was brown and slightly wavy. But the only first thing that came to Steph's mind when she first saw him was he was super cute and well very good looking. 

"Here you go" He says in his soft american voice as he passes her one of her books she dropped.

"T-thank you..." Steph says in a nervous British voice. She takes the book and puts in her locker. 

"That's a British accent if i'm not mistaken. You must be new here. I'm Peter by the way." He says giving her a friendly and welcoming smile. Steph couldn't help but smile back at him straight away because he looked so sweet and kind. 

"Yes i just moved here from England. I'm Steph. Nice to meet you Peter" She says giving him a smile back and closed her locker. 

"Wow... well moving all the way from England to here must be such a big change for you." Peter says and gives her a nervous smile. Peter wasn't exactly great when it came to talking to girls. He would get all nervous and freeze up. But right now he was trying his best not to as he could already she was nervous.

"Y-yeah it's definitely a huge change that's for sure. But i um...well i needed a fresh start" Steph smiles nervously putting the book she needed into her bag and putting her bag backpack on. As she did that Peter noticed the sweater she was wearing. 

"Cool sweater! You must be a Star Wars fan then" He says smiling widely. Steph was wearing her all time favourite sweater which of course was a Star Wars one. Steph loved Star Wars. It was her all time favourite thing ever. Normally she wouldn't like to show off her love for things. She use to just hide her love stuff like Star Wars away because people would call her a not a normal girl and think she was odd but she did't want to hide away anymore. 

"Um...well...yeah I guess you could say i am a fan" She says and laughs a little gazing at him. As she laughs so does Peter. His laugh was soft and adorable to listen to. 

"I guess by you saying that must mean you a huge fan. Which isn't a bad thing because well...I am to..." Peter whispers to her and smiles gazing directly at her. He couldn't help but keep looking at her. It was like he was mesmerised. Her hair was a coppery brown colour that was was tied up into a ponytail and curled. Her eyes were a hazel colour which Peter loved and she was wearing a light blue denim short skirt with the sweater and black tights. In Peter's eyes she was a very beautiful girl.  His thoughts of her were cut off when he hears his friend Ned. 

"Peter there you are "  Ned says walking over to Peter who was standing right next to Steph. "Awesome sweater" Ned says to Steph and smiles. 

 "Um Thanks...." Steph says going all nervous again and looks at Ned and then at Peter. 

"Oh, Ned this is Steph. She is new here. Steph this is my best friend Ned" Peter says inducing them to each other. Steph smiles and gives a nervous hello to Ned. 

"Nice to meet you Steph. Come on Peter we need to get to class before the bel..." Ned was cut off by the bell going off. Steph looks at her timetable seeing where she was meant to be. Her first class was History. She had no idea where the room was. Peter couldn't help but have a peak at her timetable that she has in her hands. 

"History class is just at the end of this hallway. The first classroom on your right" He says and smiles. "I see you have the same Science class as me after lunch. Maybe if we meet each other at lunch we can hang out and then we can um... go to the Science class together"  He says starting to go all nervous again. 

"That sounds like a great idea. Thank you Peter. I guess we had better be getting to are classes now. See you later then." Steph says smiling at Peter and gives Ned a smile to before getting ready to go to her class. 

"Y-yeah see you at lunch then. I look forward to" He says smiling nervously and gets ready to walk to his class. Before he does, he stops and looks at her again "Oh and welcome to Midtown High School..." He says to her and turns around smiling a lot and walks off to class with Ned. Steph smiles and walks to her History class. Could her first day here be be as good as she hoped it was going to be...
