August 2006
It's 5:25 a.m. and twin sisters Marley Rose Claire and Carley Blaire along with their 10-year-old little brother Nathan all wake up and are getting ready for the first day of school. Both of their parents are very excited that both of them are starting another school year but this time they are going to a new school since it is mandatory. Richie can you believe that the girls are going to seventh grade and little Nathan is going to fourth. I wonder how will it be for me to come up there and hear Marley about and her problems.
Several hours later
Inside of the building little do they realize that it is about to be the start of their junior high school year. and while both of them are looking for their homeroom class Marley ends up getting lost from the crowd until she bumps into someone. OMG, I am so sorry I was just trying to find my homeroom class. It's fine and its no need to be afraid. It's just the first day of school. Oh by the way I'm Jonathan but everyone calls me Jon. Marley...Marley Rose Harlow but everyone calls me Marley Rose. Ok, let's go and find your homeroom class I see that you're in the 7th grade and your homeroom number is 205 so you are on the bottom hall. Ah, so you have L. Shells for your homeroom. What we're in the same homeroom class? Oh, that's my sister Rachel what about you. I have a twin sister named Carley.
Wow, a twin I bet that must be a very complicated thing with you. It's very complicated and it always has been complicated even with my much younger brother. Even with me dealing with my problems to where my parents just completely shrug it all off like it's nothing. It's not just any problem with me.. it has to do with me staying focus on my assignments, classes every single thing. That's just absolutely pathetic of them to even do that do they listen to you. No, they don't listen to me at all and they take the teacher's side. It's like my own parents just completely ignore me and don't want to even listen to what I have to say. Tell me about it...Now I always just try to drown it out some kind of way. You mean with earbuds in your ears and listening to your favorite song. Yeah, that's the only way how I drown out the noises and the lies coming from my parents to where I just want to completely escape from here altogether.
Wow, how awful for you to even go through something like that..I know and now it is only going to become more worse for me throughout the entire school year. Don't let it get to you Marley its just only the very first day of school. Yeah, You're right Jon we might as well go on to homeroom and get our schedule so that we can get on with the whole school year. I have a bad feeling about all of this. What do you mean about the bad feeling Marley? You know it might just be just that one who might just have their eyes on me. No, I don't Marley. I've never had a teacher who knew who I was because of family members to where they had to keep their eyes on me. Well Jon you are extremely lucky cause it happens to me almost every single year to where I just lock myself in my room and curl myself into a ball to where I'm having near major anxiety or panic attack.
Oh My, Marley don't feel bad at least you have my sister or myself to talk to if you're ever having any kind of mental struggle. Aw, thank you Jon did you get your schedule yet. No, but Rachel did and I'm so nervous about this... Marley, just relax it's just the very first day I know that it's going to get a lot better in the end. Yeah, your right I might as well calm myself all the way down before I become the laughing stock of the whole school. Hey, it might be your seventh-grade year but don't let the whole year get to you. Go and enjoy the only two years that we all have here cause once our feet leave this campus for the very last time and it touches the floor of the high school it's the start of the very last time in school. Oh, Rachel there you are cause I was looking all over for both of you for homeroom. Our homeroom teacher is out for the whole week and we have a sub. The other teacher has our schedule for the whole school year.
Oh Boy here we go she thought to herself as the substitute teacher was handing out the schedule to everyone in the class. Marley then looks at the schedule that she has for the entire school year.

Alright Marley we both have almost all of the same classes except for one. Let's just get through the first day of a whole new school year and being at a completely different school. Your right Rachel as long as I let it keep getting to me the longer I will let it completely upset me. Come on Marley we might as well get to 1st period cause who know how it will be for the rest of the whole school year. Tell me about it. What more worst can it get down the line and the rest of the school year one of our schelule gets change. Or it might stay the same Marley who knows it might just be one of the best school years.
