“Maria!! Hurry up. You don’t want to be late for your first day of school” Susan called out to me from downstairs.
“I’m coming mum, relax” I call back using the same tone while I struggled to wear my socks.
Why do things take soo long when you need to be quick???
After taking so long on debating what to wear, I finally settle with grey sweatpants and a black tank top. It’s just odd for me to wear home clothes to school since uniforms were required at all my previous schools.
As I climbed down the narrow staircase, I quickly let my blond wavy hair loose for the world to see.
“Ohh we just have to take a picture” Susan clapped her hands like a little child.
Uugghh “Mum,I’m running late can we do it later this afternoon?” I beg her. I hate it when my mum takes pictures of me, Mostly because they always turn out embarrassing. And to make matters worse she sticks all of those pictures in the special album which contains pictures full of me.
Surprise, surprise!!! -gagging-
Being the persuasive mum she is, she quickly took pictures of me and chased me out of the house, her excuse being I’m going to be late for the bus.
Well it’s true, so I shouldn’t be complaining. But on the other hand who am I if I don’t complain.
When I entered the bus, I head straight for the back seats. Those seats are my favorite seats.
Who doesn’t like them??? Those seats are like heaven.
Nope, scratch that. I keep forgetting that other people enjoy more lively areas,unlike me. I blame that on my past
Time passes by so quickly that I don’t even realize 20 minutes are already over and we are entering school grounds.
Before I step pass the office door I stop and quietly add to myself “this is the beginning of a new start. Whatever happened in the past is to stay there and whatever happens in the future are memories to cherish. So live life to the fullest and just ENJOY!!!”
I then start my journey to the office and ask for my schedule. The short lady at the desk gives it to me and smiles reassuringly.“Have you any concerns, you know where to find me” she says before disappearing for to God knows where.
I walk around the school struggling to find the locker number I was provided with at the front office. As I looked around my thoughts went back to my old life, where my boyfriend always helped me with these type of things. The way he always used to put his ar-
Stop it! Remembering him is just going to bring back pain for no reason.
Thankfully I came across a Student who offered me to help me, seeing I was lost. When I reached my locker area I inwardly cursed after seeing the amount of people.
I quickly read through my schedule see what time first lesson starts and what the first lesson is, when I come in contact with the wall
Ouch!
When I look up out of habit, I realize that I hit into a person. A blue eyed cute looking person.
“Watch where you going, shorty” he says and walks away.
I’m a shorty? Lol. More like you are a skyscraper!
"I’m not a shorty, ore like you are a skyscraper” I shout loud enough for him to hear. He stops and turns to me.
“Then what are you?” he laughs quietly to himself.
“A new student who needs help getting to her math class” Then he just started laughing and walking away.
“Well good luck with that, lost girl” he smirked.
I am getting so frustrated right now. I’m already 2 minutes late for my first lesson. When he doesn’t turn around to help me find the math classroom, I make a sound of frustration and walk away.
Why do these things only happen to me? I think to myself while I wander around. Then after a while I finally come across that class. Hip,hip, hooray!!
“You must be the new student?” The teacher eyed me as I walked in.
All I could do was nod, I don’t feel comfortable being the center of attention and that is what is happening right now. The whole class is looking at me including the idiot who hit into me. He’s even smirking at me!!! That’s why he was laughing. He’s just a rat -sigh-
“You can just sit on the free seat in front of Drew.Drew give us a wave please” the teacher says enthusiastically
He waves. The idiot -who’s name happens to be Drew- is the one that bloody waves. Why, oh why, do I have to be assigned such a seat?
Drew gives me a small wave although his attention is on the guy sitting next to him. It looks like he’s friend, or whoever thats sitting next to him is, is telling him something very interesting. Thank god for the distraction. I don’t want him to say anything to me.
I was trying really hard to focus on what the teacher was saying, but it was so hard since the boy behind me kept kicking my chair. I realized I didn’t even know what the teacher is talking about, so I decided to doodle at the back of my book.
After what felt like hours, the bell finally rang indicating the end of the first lesson.
I quickly packed up my books, cleared and threw away the dirt from my desk and left the classroom. I was reading my schedule when I felt someone watching me. Weird... people don’t even know me here.
When I looked up to see who it was, it was the guy Drew was talking to in class. When he saw me looking at me he started walking towards me. What can I do to look busy? Umm... think fast Maria.
Too late.
“Hey, I’m Michael” he held out his hand.
I took it, gave a quick shake and let go, hoping to make things less awkward. “What lesson do you have?” He asks. “Umm, let me check my schedule” I say while fumbling around to find my paper. And being the clumsy person I am, I drop all my books.
He immediately bends down to help me pick them up. “Thanks” I look down, keeping my embarrassed face to myself.
“Oh looks like you have chemistry, let me take you there” he gave me back all my things except for my schedule.
We walk in silence to the other end of the school, and he showed me to my class. “See you at lunch?” He asks hopefully.
“Yeah, sure...... Ummm you not coming in?” I fiddle with my fingers.
“Nope” he pops the ‘p’. “I’ve got geography” so he walked me all the way to the class even though he’s not with me? Nice “thanks and ummm see you lunch.”
He nods before walking away.
