Louis Partridge | A love story

Part 1

As I was laying down looking at the ceiling, my aunt came into my room.

"Hello Amara" She says gently
I sit up and give her a nod.

"So your uncle and I have decided to send you to a school" My aunt tells me nervously

My head shoots up
"Are you serious?" I ask her, I did not want to go to a school at all.

"Yes, I am sorry but you have to. You can't stay here all day and not socialise with others." She tells me seriously but with an apologetic look on her face.

I nod
"I get it" I tell her trying not to sound annoyed.

"Your Uncle and I have got you a dress, you need it" She tells me.

"Why do I need a dress?" I ask in confusion

"There is going to be a ball on the second day due to the fact that you can't have it at the end of the year." My aunt answers my question

I nod in response.
"May I see the dress?" I ask her politely
"Of course" She tells me as she pulls out a box with fine ribbon around it.

I open the white box to reveal a beautiful red dress, the details on it dress were gorgeous.

"So?" My aunt asked waiting for a reply
"It's stunning, thank you so much. It must've at least cost £7" I hug her
"It cost £6" She corrects me
I laugh
"When do I start school?" I ask her
"Tomorrow" She replies instantly.
My eyes go wide, tomorrow? Why at last minute did she tell me.

"Okay, I guess I'll get packing"
She nods and walks out of my room.

The next morning.

It was 6am in the morning and the train leaves at 7am. I had a shower and got dressed into my uniform for the school which was the, Matrix Academy. (That's a real school I'm pretty sure 😭)

We got to the train station 10 minutes before it left, so I hugged and kissed my aunt Susan, since my Uncle wasn't there, I hopped into a carriage and off I went to a new school.

After the arrival

I was walking down the hall until I bumped into a girl.

"I'm sorry" I say quickly
"Watch it" She snaps
"Jesus" I mumble and walk away not wanting to get into any trouble.

I then saw a girl, she was reading so I went up to her. I wanted some friends and like my Aunt said I need to socialise.

"Hello" I stand in front of the girl reading.
She closes her book and smiles at me
"Hello" She replies back with a smile
"I'm new here and I was wondering if you can show me to the toilets?" I ask her politely
"Of course, it's down that hall and turn left once." I smile at her and she returns it back.
"Thank you, I'm Amara, Amara Jones" I tell her putting my hand out.

"Kate Reardon" She politely shakes my hand and I walk to the bathroom.

The classes were alright, they were about Embroidery, I didn't know any of that so I kept messing it up.
Some girls saw me struggling and giggled quietly.
The teacher left to go somewhere, so it was just all the girls in the class at the moment, I was fed up with the giggling by three mean looking girls so I spoke up.

"If you have something to say, say it to my face" I say with confidence

"You're simply terrible at Embroidery" One of the girls say with a posh accent.

"Your point? Like I care, I didn't want to come to this crap school in the first place" I snap at her

People gasp at my poor choice of words.

"Mrs.Jones, my office now!" Mrs. Brown shouts

I stand up and walk to her office with a slouchy back.

"There is a boys only school coming here today to practice for the Great Ball and I need you to be on your best behaviour." She snaps at me angrily

"Okay, I'm sorry Ma'am" I put on a fake smile as I exit the office.
