Invisible

"When we first moved here I thought it would be like the movies the dumb jocks, losers, cheerleaders and stuff I thought I'd have loads of friends, a girlfriend maybe. But the truth is it's nothing like the movies it's rubbish, I hate it and want to go home."
"Dan theres no point moaning were not going back to England it's a bit late for that" mum chuckles to her self. "besides it's only been your first couple of days you don't just make friends at the click of a finger" she chuckles again.
"But I'm not going to make any friends It's crap!"
"Daniel!"
"No one knows my name they don't even see me in class, I swear some dumb girl nearly sat on me in English Lit today am I invisible or something?"
"You just have to give it time like me, do you think everyone whooped and cheered when I walked into the office this morning?"
"But thats not the point-"
"No I know, just you have to stick things hun maybe if you make the first move, introduce yourself?"
I smile she is trying her best but I don't want to have randomly come up to someone and introduce myself like I'm an act. Besides no one even notices me anyway.

I walk upstairs granted it's different here the houses are bigger and everyone came and knocked on our door when we first moved in. We wouldn't get that back home. The water tastes weird I don't like it mind you I don't like allot of things here.

I wake up the next morning I slept well thanks to not being under the flight path. I pull on my trousers and walk into the bathroom yet again I'm gonna look like an idiot all Sophomores have their own cars that they roll up in. Meanwhile I'm stuck on the school bus with all the juniors. Mum doesn't get the concept of everyone because apparently it's good to stand out from the crowd I think I do that enough already I'm 6'3 dark brown hair with a british accent I don't think you could miss me- then again everyone at school does. What do I care anyway there all dumb even if that is a generalisation.

The suns starts peaking over the horizon the rays catch the blinds in the bathroom. I wouldn't have to get up so early if I had a car then again it might be due to the fact I live 2 bus rides away from the school bus point. No one lives out here just a load of old ladies, but apparently it was near to the train station that makes it suitable for Mum. I run it to my room there's not much there apart from boxes and crates that I've not unpacked yet I think part of the reason why I haven"t is it if unpack it really is home, and theres no going back to London. That or I'm just lazy which is the most likely conclusion.

I grab my bag, keys, school Id and bus pass. Mum's not awake yet lucky for her she only has an hour an the subway meanwhile i've got 2 and a half hours to look forward to. Mustn't forget my phone it's the only thing that keeps me remotely sane. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank God for Spotify. I close the door softly although I envy her lie in, but she needs it. I plug in my headphones it's only a short walk to the fist bus stop about 15 minutes then a 4 minute wait for the bus. The only good thing about living in the middle on no-where is that I'm always the first person on the bus no one gets up at this un-godly hour. "Morning Dan the usual stop I take it"
"Yep morning" I smile I like this section of the journey it's quiet no ones every around so I can sit where ever I like it's about 30 minuets on the bus it would be longer but no one apart from me gets on and off it's a bit like having my own personal taxi service I get off at bell corner this time it's a longer wait 11 minutes not too bad really. I get on it's still empty but there are people scattered about the bus takes forever until I reach my destination lucky that the school bus it still waiting.

As I get on I breath in sharply, 15 year olds scream "Jamie you have the new CD" I look around me there isn't really anywhere to sit apart from the back great I sit next to a girl with her nose in a book at least this means we won't have to be awkwardly staring at each other all day. I dislike this part of the journey it's cramped people are shouting throughout someones shoe gets thrown and singing starts. To be honest if I had a bike I'd cycle to school but  unfortunately I don't have one of those either.

I walk down the hall to my locker I have History of modern civilisations today I haven't yet been in a class of that lesson- it's in room 24, no idea where that it shoving my bag in my locker, I go on the exploration of room 24. Personally there should be a map for new students that way I'd know where the hell I was going. Theres a queue and I see a few of my class mates from chemistry. Well it's worth a try I guess. We file in, written on the board stands Mr Bruff. I look to my left and I see the girl from the bus this time without her nose in a book. So it seems I'm not the only one with out a car, for now. "
Who knows about the amazon tribe?"
"Theya" he points to the girl she looks up surprised
"Well I know that they live in the Amazon" everyone laughs
"Theya not quiet the answer I was looking for I'm afraid." He turns to the board and writes down The Amazon Tribe
"I guess I'm not the only one with out a car" Theya whispers I smile to myself
"Dan" I say as I reach out my hand
"You're English?" she laughs
"Yes"
"Don't worry I'm not going to start screaming or ask you if you know the queen" I smile they aren't all the same and I guess I like being invisible- well for now anyway.
