Unwanted

Chapter 10

          Willow wood high school was busy with so many kids! We had just got off the bus and I was viewing my new school. The only thing I could think of to describe it was BIG! I looked up to study the buildings. I wanted to know a lot about this school...so I could be prepared...and because I didn't want to look like a total idiot when I got lost in the hallways and missed class.

     As i entered the school grounds nervousness hit, like a thief in the night, only he didn't come to steal precious stuff he came here to steal my confidence. I tried getting over. Only he didn't come to steal precious stuff, he came here to steal my confidence. I tried getting over it but it lingered. As I passed through the double doors I, again tried to take in everything. I started making my way to my locker #345. The code was...wait i'm not supposed to say! My first class was history in room 12 so i headed over to the east wing. Again my dad made me ask for a map of the school so I could memorize where things were. Boy am I glad he made me, otherwise I'd be crying in the bathroom because I was lost. There were several students milling around, doing nothing probably dreading the start of school. Finally i made it to my classroom 5 minutes early,Lucky me!I jumped. "Oh sorry I didn't know anyone was in here" I said there was a woman, my teacher I guessed at a desk. I'd hoped to find the place empty so i could have some peace and quiet (it was quite loud outside)

"You're fine...umm what's your name?" She said it with such general sweetness I had no problem replying.

"I'm Adriana Lopez, the transfer student," I answered. I wanted to add ma'am at the end but my lips quit working. She even looked sweet. She had light Copper colored hair with perfect nails and a perfect smile. She was different from what I was accustomed to seeing. Most people at the village were a sheer bronze color but this lady had light slightly tanned skin.

"Well hello Adriana, pleased to meet you. My name is Carla Cambell" Carla replied sweetly.

I didn't know what to say so I just nodded and took my seat. There were about 20 seats in the classroom all the same boring color. I'd love to just paint one and make it at least a little more interesting but that would be vandalism, at least that's what my dad sayed. It was 3 minutes till class so I just read a book...I wanted to listen to music but I didn't want to make a bad impression on the first day! At exactly 8:00am the bell rang. I was sure the people who were under it wouldn't be able to hear for days!

People poured in. I was glad I had already found my seat beforehand, otherwise I would have had to deal with the flutter of activity as everyone took their seats.

"Welcome to history class children. My name is Miss Cambell and I'll be your 8th grade history teacher. Before we get started I would like to introduce our new transfer student. Adriana Lopez."

Everyone then awkwardly said "Hi" as I was made to stand up. What a great way to start off the day getting called on so everyone knows you're a transfer student! I then endured a very long, very boring talk about the civil war.

RIIIIING! RIIIIIING! The class bell buzzed. It was finally lunch! I had endured Science and social studies after history. I enjoyed social studies but in science I just...made a mess. Everyone hastily grabbed their bags and sprinted out the  door including me! I was eager to get outside and freshen up! I went outside with my lunch but before i didn't even set a toe outside when i was confronted by two surly looking girls.

"Aaaah the new transfer student" The girl sneered.

I was shocked I didn't have this girl in my class or her...minion it looked like. How could they know I was a transfer?

As if the girl knew what was thinking she said "Word travels fast in this school." My lips didn't want to cooperate anymore; they just wanted the feel of fresh air!

"Ummm could you excuse me? I kinda need to go outside." Was the best I could come up with.

She ignored the plea. Instead she asked.

"What's your name?"

"I thought you said word travels quick, if it does then why don't you know my name?" I applaud myself for my quick wit!

Her expression went from glee to sudden anger. She shoved me hard in the shoulder as she stomped off with her minion not far behind. Ugh it was the first day and I was already getting bullied.
