Chapter 1-Applying for a New School

I slowly sat up in bed, my messy hair covered my eyes. A ray of sunlight shone brightly through a crack in my curtains. I looked at my clock, it read 7:36am. I dragged my self out of my large bed and slowly walked into my bathroom. I turned on the shower and the room steamed up instantly. I stripped my clothes off and stepped into the shower. I felt the warmth cover my bare body, the water flowed through my hair. I picked up the soap and massaged it in my hands making bubbles. I rubbed it over my body smelling a sweet smell of mango. I got some shampoo and massaged it through my long silky, black hair and rinsed it out. I put some conditioner on the ends of my hair and then rinsed it off. I turned of the shower and stepped out, I wrapped my black and purple striped towel around my body as I felt its softness. I picked up my pyjamas and threw them in the washing basket. I stopped and looked in the mirror 'god your getting fat' I thought to myself. I exited the bathroom and walked into my walk-in-waldrobe.

"What to wear." I softly mumbled to myself as I looked at the many rows of clothing lining the walls. I picked a lacy black dress off the rack and a gold belt. I slid on the dress and buckled the belt around my waist,perfect. I walked over to my dressing table and dried my hair. I combed it out then straightened it then put hairspray in it. I put a thick line of black eyeliner around my eye and applied some mascara. I put on a dark ruby red lip gloss and stood up, proud of what I've just done. I headed downstairs to find mum in the kitchen cooking bacon and eggs for breakfast. Yes we do have maids but mum prefers it if she cooks for us. Dad was sitting at the end of our 6-seater table.

"There's my little angel, I've got you your school information." he said with a large grin.

"Thank you dad." I said faking a smile as I sat down and started to search through them. MAGS, Avondale, Lynfield or Green Bay were my choices. I liked the looks of MAGS. It says you must play at least 1 sport, shit. Okay well I guess I could take up tennis or skateboarding? Yes skateboarding that's it.

"Mum, Dad I want to start skateboarding. I also have chosen MAGS" I said in a eager voice.

"Alright sweetie." they said in sync.

"Breakfast is ready." mum chirps.

"Yum thank you darling." dad replies.

"I'll skip breakfast today but thanks for the offer." I said as I turned and ran up the stairs.

I entered my room and dove onto my bed. I got out my laptop and turned it on. I googled 'skateboarding' just so I could get a decent idea of how it is done. 'Shit this looks hard' I thought to myself. My mum came into my room.

"We are going to an interview at mags today, we are leaving in 10 minutes." She said.

"Okay thanks mum." I replied.

I shut the laptop lid and checked my hair in the mirror. It's nothing exciting, it's just straight hair with no fringe or anything like that. I head downstairs and went outside. It was a hot and sunny day, not a cloud in sight. I hopped into the car followed by mum and dad. We sat in silence for the whole trip out to MAGS. We arrived at the large old-fashioned school. I feel so small and out of place. We went into the office and they directed us into the principals office for our interview. I just sat there for about 25 minutes whilst my parents and the principal talked about the school and how I will benefit from it. At the end I just signed a piece of paper and that was it. My parents said "thank you" and we left.

"You start after the weekend, are you excited?" Dad asked

"Okay thanks and I guess so." I replied shyly.

We drove home in silence, we don't normally talk on car trips.
