7:30am -School-
I walked into the school and made my way to the office after saying good bye to the boys.
Once in the office, I made my way to the front desk and I saw Mrs. Ariel sitting there like she was last week.
"Hey Mrs. Ariel." I greeted her.
"Hwy sweety. How are you?" She asked me.
"I'm good. But can you help me with something?" I asked' her.
"Yeah. Sure. What do you need?"
"Um. When you we came to enroll me, I forgot to get me a map and my locker number with my combination. Do you think you could look that up for me? I don't want to be late on my first day." I asked her/told her with a chuckle.
"Yeah sweety. I sure can. Just give me a minute to print one out." She said and I nodded.
She turned around to her computer and started clicking away on the keys. After about a minute and a half, she printed the papers.
She turned around and held the papers out to me.
"Thank you so much Mrs. Ariel. You're a lifesaver. I don't want to look stupid on my first day. I haven't went to school here in almost 8 years, so I want to make a good first impression." I told her.
"No problem. I like your dress and your shoes. Really your whole outfit. Its really pretty." She exclaimed when she looked over my outfit for the day.
"Thank you. My boyfriend picked it out for me. And his friends' girlfriend did my hair and makeup." I explained and she nodded.
"Aww. So cute. Do you live together or does he go here?" She asked.
"No ma'am. He doesn't go here, but I do live with him. I live with him and his band mates. One of them is my dad though. My adopted dad. The one who was over here with me last week is my boyfriend." I said and she nodded.
"So. Who is he exactly?" She asked.
"Um. Liam Payne from One Direction?" I said kind of like a question. I was scared what she would do.
"Oh my goodness. My daughter is in love with them. Her favorite one is Zayn though." She gushed.
"Cool. Zayn adopted me like a month ago." I said and her mouth dropped open.
"You're the one that they were talking about? The one that they said was with the boys but they could never get a good picture of you to show your face to the world. I hate paparazzi. They are leaches. They only prey on your mistakes." She said and I was shocked. I had never thought that she would be one to say something like that.
"Wow. I didn't think that you thought that way." I said and then looked at my watch.
I gasped. "I'm sort Mrs. Ariel, but I have to go find my class. I'll talk to you tomorrow maybe." I said and then rushed out of the room and down the halls.
The halls were packed now. They were empty a bit ago.
Room 21. Which is on the 1st floor. I think.
I made it to the room and saw the teacher, Mr. Corbit, standing at the board, writing something.
'Knock Knock.' I knocked twice on the door frame.
He turned to look at me and flashed me a smile.
"Hil how can I help you?" He asked.
"Um, yes. I am looking for me. Corbit. He teaches 10th grade Geometry." I said.
"I would be Mr. Corbit. Do I have you this year?" He asked.
"Phew. I thought I had the wrong class. And yes. You will have me this year. I am new here. I haven't been here since I was 8. And I'm just trying to find my way around." I explained and he nodded.
By now I had moved in the room.
"OK. Well, you can go find a seat anywhere in the room if you'd like." He said and I nodded.
He turned around and started back writing on the board.
I looked around the room and found a place towards the back of the room that I liked. I put my stuff down and sat in the seat. I got on my phone and texted Liam.
L- Liam
M- Michelle
M- hey. I made it. I'm actually sitting in the first class, waitin for the bell 2 ring.
L- great. Did u get the map and the locker thing from the office?
M- yeah. I did. The school is actually quite simply structured.
L- oh. OK. As long as you are able to get around. If you need anything let me know. Let me know when you get out of school. Please. I will came pick u up.
"Hey. Mr. Corbit? When does school let out for the end of the day?" I asked him.
"Well, last year school was from 8-3:15amd this year it is from 7:45 or 7:50-3:05." He said.
"Thank you."
M- it ends at 3:05 this afternoon.
L- OK. I'll b up there by 2:55 this afternoon.
M- OK. The bell's about to ring. I'm gonna get off of here.
L- alright. Love u babe
M- love u tooooo baby.
M&L- byeeee
I looked up and Mr. Corbit was staring at me.
"Do you need something Mr. Corbit?" I asked him.
"No. I'm just trying to figure out where your accent is from. I know you said that you haven't been here since you were eight, but where were you from before you moved here? If you don't mind me asking." He said.
"Oh. I don't mind. I was born in Alabama, but my aunt and uncle lived here, so they took my in and adopted me after my parents died. Then my aunt died and my uncle went to jail. So I went to an orphanage in Arkansas. I was there from my 8th birthday until last month. That's when Zayn adopted me and I came here." I explained.
"Oh. So you have Arkansas, Alabama, and the UK's accent all together. That's awesome." He said astonished.
"Thank you." I said and then the bell rung.
Time to begin the first class of the day. Only 8 more after this one.
