"Just try not to get expelled again and you should be fine." She chuckled.
"It only happened the once, alright?" He defended himself, looking down as his cheeks turned slightly pink. "Plus, we were only kissing."
"In the caretaker's cupboard? Yeah right." Mollie said in disbelief, shooting her cousin a pointed look.
Lewis, like both of his male cousins, was certainly popular with the girls. Handsome, charming and the star of the football team, it was really no surprise. But sometimes:his charms seemed to land him in danger, hence why he'd been forced to move schools.
"It was one time, and I've learned my lesson." He assured her. "I'm mostly just excited to be going to school with you, Cory and Jordan to be honest."
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it, too." She smiled genuinely at him, before grabbing a box and heading back out into the shop. Stopping by the doorway, she looked back to him one more time. "Just...prepare yourself. Ackley Bridge College is a pretty wild place."

And while Jordan had left early into the mist of the morning, his two older siblings had agreed to meet up with their cousin and walk to school with him on his first day. The three teenagers chatted as they went, with both Mollie and Cory trying desperately to convince Lewis that the school wasn't a complete hellhole despite the fact that it didn't have a football team.
"I ain't playing rugby." Lewis scoffed, shoving his hands in his trouser pockets as they walked through the school gates. "I'm a footie player."
"That's what I said at first, too, mate. But it's not that bad." Cory shrugged, a cocky smile making it's way onto his face. "Don't expect to be the star player, though. That spot is already taken."
Knowing full well that Cory was referring to himself, Mollie rolled her eyes with a scoff. "Yeah, by Riz. Everyone knows he's the best player."
"He wishes." Cory shook his head. "Plus, he ain't the captain, is he?"
"Well he should be." Mollie replied, quirking an eyebrow at her brother as she folded her arms defiantly over her chest.
"Who's this Riz fella?" Lewis furrowed his eyebrows, turning to Mollie. "It sounds like you fancy him or somethin-" The boy was pulled from his thoughts by a sudden scuffle breaking out by the car park, with one of the participants being very familiar to him. "Oh shit, is that Jordan?"
Mollie and Cory both followed Lewis' gaze to see their younger brother getting manhandled by a figure dressed in all black. Protective instincts kicking in, they ran towards the scene with Lewis following behind quickly.
