9th grade

Today is the day. My first day of high school. Honestly I'm feeling all types of emotions; scared, sad, even a little angry. I just wish my mom would let me be home schooled. It would make things way easier for me. But she said I need to socialize more with people. That's a horrible excuse to make to go to school. I socialize with my family everyday and I've gotten close to my neighbors daughter, so I socialize with her all the time. I think my mom's just tired of me and wants to get rid of me, so she's sending me to school. Honestly, my dad is my favorite person in my family. He has the same opinions as me on things, he is care free, and he doesn't invade my privacy like my mom does.

"Hiraeth! Let's go!" My mom yells.

My moms name is Reyna. She's alright. She just needs to stop being so blind about things. She doesn't understand the simplest things. She's smart and really pretty, but she doesn't understand that not everyone is going to like her. She thinks she's better than everyone, even if she won't admit it. My father is a lot cooler than her. His name is Arthur. I also have two brothers, Aimon and Jax. Aimon is two years older than me. He's going into 11th grade this year. Jax is going into 4th grade. Then there's me, going into 9th grade. I hate it already and I haven't even went yet.

"Hiraeth! Come on! Now!" Reyna yells.

I walk into the living room and grab my school bag.

"Do I have to go?" I ask my mom.

"Yes! Now go to the car! Aimon is driving you." She tells me.

"Fine!" And with that, I leave and ride to school with Aimon.

Me and Aimon used to be the opposite that we are now. He didn't have any friends and I had a lot of them. Now, he has a group of people who he feels like he fits in with, and I have no one. Aimon is nice enough to let me hang out with him and his friends since he isn't that much older than me. Aimon has always been close to me. Jax has gotten closer to me lately than he used to be. I have a pretty good relationship with both of my brothers. But they don't have a good relationship with each other. They despise each other. It's annoying really.

Me and Aimon didn't talk the whole time we drove to school. I'm to nervous to talk right now anyways. I'm terrified to go to this school.

"We're here." Aimon says.

We unbuckle our seatbelts and get out of the car. I can feel my palms getting sweaty as I walk closer and closer to the entrance of the school. There's so many people. To many people. Did I ever mention that big crowds give me anxiety? Well now you know.

"Welcome! Good morning! Welcome to Fellows High School!" Says a girl at the entrance door.

I just give her a small smile and continue walking. But that doesn't help, because she followed me.

"Hey! Wait up!" She yells.

I turn around and look at her. She's quit pretty if I'm being honest. She has short black hair, freckles all over her face, pale skin, and she's kinda tall.

"Hi! You must be a Freshman. I'm Cordelia. Cordelia Jack. And you are?"

"I'm Hiraeth... Waylon."

"That's a pretty name. Do you need help with anything?"

"Umm, no I'm fine." Truth is, I needed a lot of help. I also needed friends. So here goes nothing. "I'm guessing this isn't your first year here?"

"Actually it is. I'm a Freshman too. But my dad is the principal so I know my way around the school."

The rest of the day was kinda a blur. Cordelia showed me to all of my classes. She ate lunch with me too. I kinda like her. She's cool, and she seems nice. But I don't really know yet, I haven't known her that long.

She gave me number at the end of the day and told me to text her, and that we should stick together at school from now on.

If I keep her around maybe this school year won't be so bad.
