New York Nightmare

Chapter 4

I must've passed out because I just woke up with my phone on my face. It's 6:00 a.m and I have never been this exhausted in my life. I rubbed my eyes and quickly got up. After I stretched my arms, I got up and changed into my clothes that I picked out last night. I'm wearing a pretty dress that is beige at the top and floral at the bottom with a brown belt wrapped around. Then, I went to the bathroom to wash my face and quickly curl my hair. I never realized how long my hair was. I grabbed my floral backpack, phone, and earplugs and went downstairs.

I put my stuff down on the couch and sat down to eat cereal. My mom and dad were down here with me and Rachel. Rachel said, "I'm so happy this is my last year! I just hope I meet someone for prom." "Don't get too frisky Rach" dad said joking around. My mom laughed but I didn't really find it funny. Then I told my parents about how scared I was and then they gave me those important parent speeches. As soon as I finished eating, I ran upstairs to brush my teeth and put on my brown sandals. Then, I was out the door.

I put my earplugs into my ears and started listening to "Best Mistake" by Ariana Grande. I was waiting at the bus stop down the block. It's really crowded in the city. Then I saw two other teens, one boy and one girl, walk to the bus stop. They seemed like my age. I wanted to introduce myself but I was scared that I would say something stupid. But the girl looked at me weird and asked, "hey are you new here?" "Yea actually, umm, my name is Giselle!" I felt so awkward. "Hi Giselle I'm Elizabeth. You can call me Liz. I'm in 9th grade." I felt so relieved. "Same! I guess we can be friends." She answered quickly, "of course! That will be awesome." Then we talked.

As soon as we knew it, the bus came. I have never felt so scared before. Well, here goes nothing. I got on the bus and there was only one seat left. Liz took the seat and I didn't know where to go, just my luck. but she told me to sit next to her. She seems really nice. I told her about myself and then she told me about herself, we seem to have so much in common. The best part is, we both like Ariana Grande! Okay maybe I am too obsessed. But anyways, we got to the school and as soon as I got off, I went to my locker. Everyone had friends with them and Liz had to go another way so I had to walk down the halls alone.

When I got to my locker, I was putting in my code and this girl came up to me. She was wearing a crop top with a black leather high waisted skirt and Doc Martins. She had a lot of makeup on and she had a friend with her. "Um, hi" I said, not knowing what to do because she was staring at me. "You must be the new kid" she said, laughing with her friend. "Yea, I'm Gis--" "Yeah everybody knows we don't care" she interrupted. Wow, this girl seems rude. "You're in my locker space so move" she yelled. "I'm not even in your locker space!" Her friend said, "you have to move far away because Brooke always has her own space and she can't stand germy people." So I moved away. Now I had to wait until this chick was done. She took forever because she was fixing her makeup. The bell just rang and advisory started. Great, I am going to be marked late on my first day. When she was done, I grabbed my binders really quickly and slammed my locker and ran to advisory. This day is going to be really interesting.
