Chapter: one
The skirt doesn’t suit me. I hate it. I didn’t think that one day I‘d have to wear one of those uniforms that we can see in movies. The skirt, socks that rises above the knees, a white shirt, the jacket the same color as the skirt, burgundy. Moreover, these black patent lather shoes for good little girls. Argh…
We all get used to everything, I already know that soon I wouldn’t pay attention to it, but now…it’s too much!
It only needs the crucifix above the door of the school, and there it is, prominently. With Jesus who has an annoyed look on his face from seeing students who pass by under him without a glance to him. I’ll also get used to this crucifix, but it’ll take more time…
I must look stupid there, standing in the middle of the paved road leading to the doors of my new…jail? hum school! The new girl who seems silly to look up to the guy at the crown of thorns… I’ve never crossed those doors, my parents enrolled me here without asking my opinion. They also moved without asking my opinion, so who cares now… It may have been easy for them to leave their friends, their job, and everything, but it wasn’t easy at all for me. I would never have imagined that one day I would leave, and that so suddenly I shall never see my friends. I thought I had a year and a half before we have to separate, but things aren’t always predictable.
I think about all my friends, I miss them, I’ll give anything to see them near me. Not to be alone.
I even lose my identity.
I hear someone whispering « Hey, is this a new girl? »
A new girl. I’m not even Victoria anymore, I’m just ''A new girl’’!
And immediately ''The new girl’’ was really looking forward for the end of the day, even if it’s to return home, to see her parents whom forced her to come here, to hear them say that school is so great, then she’ll tell them that she hates it… Yeah, I’m gonna hate it, for principle, provocation and discontent, I’m gonna hate it and suddenly I’m gonna love my old school.
And I do hate those shoes!
Come on, one foot before the other, *sight* I dream of run away from here, to stop a car, hitchhike and go home, but I’m not brave enough so one foot before the other I fallowed the mob that rushes through the wooden doors, my head rotates in many direction to see someone normally dressed. To see my friends waiting for me somewhere. They’ll laugh about me dressed like this. But no, they’re nowhere in sight.
I must go see the director , but I’m mostly getting lost in the corridors! I feel like everyone looks at me.
Why it’s so poorly marked?!
I resign myself to ask a student where the office is. I gather all my strength to seem proud, but inside of me I’m scared to death.
Then I finally arrived at the damn office. The door is open, I knock, the little woman sitting at her desk looks up at me, and I go into the office.
She doesn’t wear a uniform, it’s much easier for her to be able to be proud. But the director looks to be nice indeed…
She receives me nicely, I have to sign some papers and many others to bring home for my parents sign them.
Meanwhile the alarm sounds, too high-pitched, I have a headache. I want to leave!
We are on the first floor, the director told me that we must go to the second to go in my class. Then I drag myself behind her in the hallways and stairs in red bricks trying to memorize the locations. My heart beats too fast. I wish I could faint, through all the day. But unfortunately my body didn’t expect this in the program!
