a dream or a nightmare

first day part 1

"Okay Ayla breath, it'll be okay. You just have to make it through the day without getting bullied and doing your work" 16 year old Ayla said to herself whilst looking in the mirror at her freshly washed hair and perfectly picked out outfit. "Ayla you need to go in 5 minutes!" Ayla's mom, lindsay, shouted up the stairs. "Coming mom, just need 2 more minutes" Ayla picked up her jacket and made sure it looked okay against her black jeans and white yellow t-shirt "perfect " she picked up her bag and ran down the stairs.

Ayla's POV.

"I'm sorry I can't take you on your first day sweetie, I want to but you know I have to go to work and-" "I know mom, it's fine. I know where I'm going it's only round the corner. Anyway I better go" I check my bag to make sure I have everything "okay I love you, have an amazing day" "love you bye mom" I do love my mom but she cares way too much about me considering she's always at work. I walk the short distance to school and watch a car as it speeds past me, its got a group of teenage boys in it, hopefully I'm not in their grade because they look annoying.

My mum said when I get to school I'm supposed to go to the office to get my timetable so that's exactly what I do... well when I find the office anyway. It doesn't take me long to find it "hi um I'm new, Ayla Wright, today's my first day I don't really know where I'm supposed to be" I say to a lady behind a desk she looks like a secretary or something. "Take a seat just over there and I'll print your information off for you" I look over to where she pointed and I see a blonde boy around my age, I go and sit opposite him. He's quite good looking but I try not to stare "like what you see" he says SHIT IM STARING "huh?! Oh sorry I was daydreaming, didn't even notice you. I'm Ayla, I'm new here" "Finlay. I know you are. I've never seen you before, I'd remember such a pretty face" I try not to blush but I don't think it worked, he smirked and went back to looking at his phone. "Mr Young. I thought I said I didn't want to see you in here again!" A man shouted "well you ordered me here so it's your fault I'm here" "do not speak to me like that! You know exactly why you're here but you're not alone so we can have this conversation in my office" he walks off into a room and finlay sticks his middle finger up at him and turns and says "see you around pretty eyes"

The lady I spoke to when I came in then came over and handed me some papers telling me to hand them to the principal when he was done speaking to 'that waste of space kid' I never thought staff members could speak about students like that but clearly I was wrong. I sit back down and start to scroll through my phone *1 new follow request* I click on my instagram notification *Finlay.Y. requested to follow you* I click accept and follow him back and look at his insta feed, wow a lot of shirtless pictures, this guy actually loves himself "ha you followed me then" shit how long has he been stood there "Yeah you seem to really love yourself" "well yeah obviously" "hi you must be Ayla, I'm Mr Johnson I'm your principal, usually I would give new students a tour around but I'm really busy today so I've got my main regular finlay here to show you around. Definitely not my first choice of person but he's here so he's going to have to do" "nice to meet you. I'm sure he will do a great job"

Finlay starts to walk off so I catch him up "he's only getting me to show you around because it keeps me out of trouble for an hour, well that's what he thinks" "he really seems to hate you" "Yeah but I give him a job to do so really he should be thanking me" he walks through the main doors and instantly lights a cigarette "want one?" I shake my head "no I'm okay thanks" "oh are you another stuck up good girl? I've had enough of them" "no I just- oh fuck it why not"
