Chapter 2 - Chaggs and a new student in form

As we got nearer and nearer to the group, I could see that they were pointing and laughing at me. Gerard saw that they were obviously getting me angry and upset.
“Don’t look at them and don’t listen to them” He said patting my shoulder and trying to sound comforting. “I hate them so much” I muttered to which he replied
“I know, so do I”. We were facing them now and everybody turned around to see what was going to happen. I should probably explain now. Everyday since I started school, people have picked on me and my friends. They pick on us because we are not that popular, but then again we are loners so. Anyway, everybody knew that our group was different from theirs. Our group was the ‘Emo’ group as they labelled it. We were labelled that because we are different. We like different music and we dress differently which is why we are picked on. Everyday, when ever we see each other, something ALWAYS happens, normally to me. So back to the present, we were just passing by them now and someone called out
“Heloo Emo kid” And stuck their foot out which I tripped over and went flying forward, landing on the ground. Everybody laughed and pointed and I wished the ground would just swallow me up. Gerard walked over and offered me a hand up. I got up and picked my bag up. We walked into school and saw our little group standing by a bench talking. We ran over and joined the group.
Everybody was crowding round something or someone in the middle. Gerard and I pushed our way through our group to see what people were looking at. As we got near the front, we noticed that there was a new girl sitting on the bench. Our group had obviously welcomed her in, seeing as she dressed the same as us and it read across the screen of her iPod, that she was listening to A Modern Myth by 30 Seconds To Mars. Mikey was sitting next to the girl, so I assumed that the new girl was Mikeys new girlfriend! The bell rang and everybody groaned and moved away towards their forms. Me Mikey and Gerard just sat there coz our form was right next to ‘our bench’. The new girl stayed seated on the bench too. I slid over and sat next to her.
“Heloo” I said friendlily
“Hi” the girl said, sort of shyly
“What’s your name?” I asked
“Emma… Yours?”
“Hannah and this is Gerard.” I said pointing in Gerard’s direction, who was now standing talking to Mikey.
“Ohh, is this Mikey’s brother? Emma asked, looking at Gerard
“Yerr, so are you Mikey’s new girlfriend then?” I asked
“Yerr” said Emma, turning slightly pink.
“So who’s form are you in?
“I don’t know, its 8JL, Where’s that? Emma asked, looking around, looking slightly confused
“Oh that’s my form too! Its right here” I said excitedly, pointing to the door behind us.
“EVERYBODY LINE UP COME ON SLOW COACHES, WE NEED TO TAKE THE REGISTER VERY QUICKLY, COME ON WALK FASTER!”
That was Mr. Leto, our form tutor. He sounds like a nasty, scary teacher, but he isn’t. He’s actually one of the NICE teachers in the school. There aren’t many of them! So anyway, we walked in and everybody took their seats, except for Emma, who stood at the front, not knowing where to go. Mr. Leto walked in and bumped into Emma.
