"Areum. Areum!" i hear my mother call from outside my door
"Nooooooooo~" I whined, laying in bed, not wanting to wake up this early. She walks into my room and stands next to my bed
"Areum! Get Up! Come On!" she yells too loudly in the morning
"Mom, Just like 5 more minutes, then i promise that i'll get up" i plead, still too early to be getting up
"You always say that and it turns into 20 minutes if not the whole day" she denies my request to sleep in, "Now get your butt out of bed" she tells me again
"Okayyy, Okay, I'm awake. I just need like... 4 more minutes to rest my eyes" i shut my eyes again trying to go back to sleep. She sighs
"Fine, sleep in, such a shame, you are going to be late for your first day of highschool , and yesterday you were so excited to" she smirks as she turns to walk away, "oh well" she leaves my room. I giggle
"Moooommmm, today isnt even..." i think as i wake up a bit and i gasp, and sit up straight out of bed "IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! OH! I'M SO EXCITED" i stand up and jump on my bed in excitement screaming. I walk into my closet and grab my uniform then I walk to the bathroom and have a shower.
After my shower I put on my uniform and tie up my hair in a high ponytail with a purple bow in my hair, because purple is my favourite colour. Then i walk back to my room to my dresser where i put all of my school essentials that i need for today "Backpack check, Pencils check, colourful paper umm check, Stuffed animal" i stick my tongue out at it and blow a raspberry, "Noooo, i am a high school freshman now, i need to be cool, im sorry Squishy..." Yes i did name my stuffed animal and yes i named it Squishy, what are you gonna do about it huh, "Uniform check, hehe! This is going to be AWESOME! My first day of high school I can't wait to go to my classes, and make a first impression, ugh, I've been preparing all summer for this moment! Nothing is going to Stand in my way of making new friends and getting awesome grades, nothing I tell you!"
Soon enough I'm crying in my closet because going to a new school is too overwhelming, "i don't wanna gooo" i whine out. My mom hears my crying so she comes upstairs, into my room to check on me. She looks around my room not seeing me,
"Areum? Areum?? Are you crying in the closet again?" she asks looking for me.
"N-noo" i stutter out, she sighs
"Sometimes i wish you had claustrophobia because of these little hiding spats you have," she says as she opens my closet to find me, "Tell mama what's wrong," she says as she comes and sits down beside me
"Mooommm, im scared. I... don't want to go to high school anymore" i say
"What?! B-but sweetheart you have been so excited for this since we have moved back here" she questions
"I know, but mom, i've been homeschooled for what seems like ever" i say
"Calm down sweetie, it was just a year" she explains
"Still, even before then in my old middle school I didn't really talk to anyone. I haven't seen another kid my age in person in a year" i plead
"Well I tried to get you to go out but you wanted to stay inside and play your internet games" i start to tear up again, "Mija, look you're going to be fine. Sure it's going to be a new experience for you and probably a lot of kids don't like you very much because your REALLY annoying sometimes" she blabbers on
"Moooommmmmm" i whine harder and she laughs
"But really in all honesty if they find you annoying then you don't need to be their friend in the first place, just have fun and be you, you'll find people who love you for the beautiful person i know you are; Just keep that smile on" she smiles sincerely at me
