Be

Chapter 1

I'm just a normal person like everyone else but that's what I thought, that's what everyone thought. I just want to be like everyone else, I just want to have a normal like everyone else...I just want to BE like everyone else.------

I woke up from a dream, its about my past about how I was bullied in middle school for not being girly enough. I hate that time, I had to transfer school just because of it. I never told anyone the real reason why even my parents. But that time have change, now I have friends, I'm religious, I listen to everything my parents order me to do- I even have a lot of exs. I forced myself to be that way. 

"Leena", it sound like my mother is warning be to hurry up for school. Here we go again, another day for school. Who even created school and why? I wore a floral printed dress and put on some light makeup, I am not even satisfied with what I look like but whatever.

I went downstairs to greet my parents. "You look beautiful! Ready for your first day for school?" That's my mom for you, she is always so cheerful, but I love her. I glace at the table, I saw my father reading as usual. I don't get why he always read newspaper when he can just the news on tv. "Sit down, I will serve you breakfast. You need to have full energy for your first day." I sat quietly even thought I didn't want to eat breakfast. 

After eating, I was going to take my leave when mom stopped me. "Wait! Your father is leaving for work, he's going to drop you off to school." I nodded. My Father and I are not in good terms, he's so strict and not much as cheerful as my mother. But one thing we have in command is that both of us are not that talkative. I sat down on the couch right next to the dinning table, I took out my phone from my school bag and start scrolling through insta.

" We arrived", he said and stopped the car infront of my new school. Wow that's actually the first word he said to me today. I said my goodbye and when out of the car, finally that car was so suffocating.  No talking, no music, I'm not even allowed to scroll through my phone or else my dad will get angry and I don't want that to ruin my already worst day.

I walked in the building... I'm lost, the school is so big, I can't even see the end of the pathway that I'm standing on. Luckily someone touch my shoulder and said, "You new?" My savior, i turned around a saw the most beautiful girl I ever layed my eyes on. I was stunned I couldn't even talk. "Hello?" she said, I need to say something. "Ye-s!", great why did my voice chose to crack now. She chuckled " Do you need any help to get around?" Her laugh is cute, what is happening to me. I need to stop myself or else I will look weird. "Um- can you show me where is the principle's office?" "Sure!" she smiled. I got butterflies. WHYY. 

We talked around while walking to the principle's. Her name is Jashmine, she's the same age as me 18 , we had the same hobby and she showed me her puppy- he's cute but not as cute as her. "That's our stopped. I hope we will see soon." No way! Is it over? But we just got to kno- nevermind I need to stop myself. What is happening to me. Why I am feeling like this to a girl who I just met. 

I went in the office, he was working on the computer when he heard the door close and rise his head to look at me. He look young to be a principle maybe he is in his 30s but still he is the youngest principle that I have ever seen. "You must be Leena, right?" "Yes", I replied. "Sit down" "So what can I help you with?" Shouldn't he already know why I'm here. "I would like to know where is my classroom, please" "Right away miss, it's room 36. Would you like me to accompany you?" "Yes please." I don't want to get lost again and it looks like class have already started because there is no one outside. This time I will get lost for sure and there won't be a pretty angel to help me. 

"Here we are', we stopped infront a brown door. I have make sure to remember the way. He knocked the door and I think my future teacher have opened the door. "She's the new student that we have talked about." The teacher nodded and faced me. She have a nice smile. She's a middle aged lady and is the teacher of Mathematics, if the mathematics teacher is gonna to be this nice lady- I think I'm going to start liking Math. The principle and the teacher talk for a bit and the principle took his leave. The teacher introduced herself, she's called Ms.Lee and signed me to come in.

I entered the classroom, I can feel everyone's eyes on me as I walked in. I stood infront of the classed and introduced myself, the teacher told me where to sit. I didn't have the courage to lift my head to search for my seat but i already saw where the empty seat was when I walked in. I quietly went and sat to my seat when I felt a familiar touch on my shoulder. I lift my head to look who it was. It can't be.

JASHMINE!!
