It's literally the ONLY THING I can think about! I'm just so nervous... I hope all the kids like me, I hope I'll fit in, I hope the clothes I wear will be ok, I hope I dont forget anything, I hope I dont get lost, I hope nobody will think I'm rude, I hope they won't ask to much about my old school.
I know... Its a lot of hoping...
I bit my lip as I surveyed my room doing a mental checklist of all the things I should need. Bag packed: Check! Clothes out: Check! Phone on charge: Check! Pretty sure they were the only things I'd need...
"You all ready for school tomorrow then?!" My mum chirped happily. I nodded my head smiling polietly at her.
"Its past 9 o'clock! You should be heading off to bed! It's a big day tomorrow and you don't want to be tired!" I nodded my head again and waved at her as she began to walk out of my room.
"I hope everything goes well tomorrow," she said, her voice softening. I signed 'me too' back at her.
"I bet your excited right?" she asked. 'yep! little bit nervous though' I signed at her, pulling an uneasy face.
"Everything will be fine!" she reassured me, "now hop into bed and get some sleep! See you in the morning!" And with that she shut the door and left me to go to bed.
I wasn't really tired, I mean its only 9 o'clock! I'm sixteen not twelve! But I suppose a little extra sleep couldn't hurt... I chucked on my pj's and walked into my en-suite. I pulled my long dark brown hair into a bun and brushed my brace covered teeth. I wish I could have these things off already! I thought to myself. I've had them on for 3 years! 3 years! What more is there to be done? I sighed and pushed those bad thoughts to the back of my brain. I removed my massive glasses from my face. They were the really big geeky ones but without them I could hardly see a thing. I washed my face quickly and stumbled my way back into my room. I tripped onto my bed like always.
'In the morning your new life begins,' I thought to myself, snuggling down under my duvet, 'your lucky enough to have been given a second chance at fitting in at school and you're not going to mess it up! You may still have braces at the age of sixteen, wear nerd glasses and not own any designer clothing, but you can do this! You can fit in!' well, thats what hoped...
I thought no more about it and soon I was drifting off to sleep...

Bleep Bleep Bleep Bleep
I groaned internally and swatted at my alarm "SHUT UP!" I growled in my head.
Remembering what day it was, I swung myself out of bed and clumsly fumbled my way to my bathroom. I felt around for my glasses and when I finally found them I placed the on my face. I grimanced at my reflection in my body mirror.
Oh God! I thought. I look like death or his evil sidekick pain! In truth I didn't look to bad considering I'd just woken up.
I closed my bathroom door and stripped out of my pajamas. I turned on the shower and let it run for a little while so the water could warm up. As I stepped in to the steamy shower my skin prickled with the sudden heat. I let the hot streams of water run over me enjoying the relaxing affect they had. I washed my hair and body and stepped out of the shower. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around me, grabbing another one and doing the same to my hair. I shoved my glasses onto my face before I walked out of the bathroom.
I walked over to my walk in wardrobe where the clothes I had picked out for today were already hanging up. I dropped my towel and quickly got dressed, leaving plently of time for me to do my hair and makeup. I slipped into some tight black skinny jeans and a lightish blue denim shirt buttoned up to the top. I rolled up the sleeves to make them three quater length and I added a little white bow tie with a pink floral pattern. Bowties are cool! ...right?
I walked out of my wardrobe and across my bedroom to my cute vintage dressing table. I took a seat on the squishy stool that came with it and unwrapped my hair from its towel. I brushed out the chocolatey mess and plugged in the hair dryer, quickly drying my dripping mob so I didnt look like a drowned rat anymore. My hair fell in unusually neat waves cascading down my back and I decided for once that I'd leave it how it was instead of mucking around with it for hours trying to get it to look presentable.
I took off my glasses and squinted at the mirror, not really being able to see much. I felt around for my light daily make up and began applying it. It wasn't that difficult a task, although I was basically blind as a bat without my glasses, because I'd had loads of practise and now I only fucked up once or twice a month. It was one of my hiden talents: applying makeup practically blind.
I returned my glasses to my face and tweaked a few things ie. smeared lipstick and untamed strands of hair. Once I was happy, I grabbed my old, worn out, khaki coloured, canvas rucksack off my bedroom floor and swung it over both sholders, I took my phone off charge and shoved it in my back pocket and walked out of my bedroom.
I skipped happily down the stairs and into the kitchen. While of the rest of me was excited for the day ahead, my tummy seemed nervous and I couldnt seem to find anything that looked tasty to have for breakfast.
"Well you look nice honey!" my mum beamed at me walking into the kitchen, a cup of coffee in her hands. "I wish you wouldn't wear all that makeup though," she sighed, "you look pretty without it!"
I shook my head in disagreement, not believeing one word.
"You had your breakfast?" she asked, changing the topic.
I nodded my head. I hated lying but it was so easy when you didnt have a voice to give you away. Plus if i told her I hadn't eaten anything she'd go into a long speech about how breakfast was the most important meal of the day and then she'd probably start worrying that I was turning anorexic or something! Ugh! Mothers...
"Well I suppose we should be putting our shoes on and heading of to school then!" she said, checking her watch.
'We?' I signed at her.
"Yes, I have to go their anyway to finish up some paper work and what not. I might as well drive you. You don't want to be late on your first day of a new school!" and with that she was out of the kitchen to go get ready.
I sighed. I just hope no ones sees us together, I thought to myself. I instantly regretted the mean words, but I guess they were kinda true... I loved my mum! but it was my first day and didnt want anything to ruin it. Not saying that she'd ruin it! but it might look a bit uncool. Not that I care what other people think of me! but... well... actually i kinda do...
I shook my head. Why was I explaining myself to myself? I'm going crazy, I mumbled to myself in my head, walking out of the kitchen and down the hall to the front door. I crouched down next to my small collection of shoes. Which ones to wear? hmmmm.... I decided on my light brown vintagey broguey shoes. I quickly slipped my feet in them and tied them up.
"Oh good your ready!" my mum said patting me on the shoulder. "Let's go!" she grabbed the car keys and we left the house.
