A new leaf

10. Marino High

"Zoe have you got everything you need?" Mum asked sleepily emerging from her room. Today was my first day and Marino High with Chiara, Camilla and Safanit. I was super excited except for the fact that I know only three people in the entire school.

"Yes mum, I'm going to grab breakfast now" I answered back. I looked down at myself. Lemon crop top with a white vest underneath. It's still quite warm here so I decided to wear my high-wasted shorts with my lemon converse. Not too bad if I do say so myself.

I skip down the stairs to the kitchen where Paul was making american style pancakes with mayple syrup and crispy bacon. Sadly, I was trying to be healthy so I skipped out and went for a fruit salad with blueberries and strawberries and etcetera.

"Come on we're gonna miss the bus" moaned Camilla. Gees that women does so much moaning.

"Wait you guys get the bus to school?" I asked astonished.

"Yeah It's the only way to school because it's so far away." Chiara explained. So we got up and walked out the door. By the time we got to the bus my hands were shaking like crazy.

As the bus pulled up the girls went mental. Clearly they had seen their friends. I climbed aboard the yellow, rusty bus. When we got on the rustle of chattering got even louder than it was from outside the bus and it was pretty loud outside.

Safanit had introduced me to her friends but I didn't really want to be friends with them because well I don't agree with most of their opinions. Anyway, I walked into the registrations office following the directions which Camilla had given to me on a piece of paper, which was really nice of her for a change.

"Um excuse me I'm Zoe Whiteballed where do I get my timetable?" I asked the lady at the front desk.

"Oh honey. Welcome. So bascially you go to your form tutor and she will direct you to your classes and give you your timetable and all that cause it's the start of the year." The lady answered in her Jersey accent.

"Where and who is my form tutor"

"Oh she's Miss Craig and she will be in the west wing room 319"

"Thanks that's a big help. I don't suppose you have a map?"

"Sure I do" She handed me a crumpled piece of paper that smelled like..well like..p00.

So it was room 319 I was off to with my dodgy piece of paper and an empty bag. I had no clue where I was going so I just used my great sense of direction. Wait I don't have one of those. Yes, I know what your thinking, what about the map? Well she actually gave me her massage booklet. So I'll need to return that later. I started to walk out from the office when...
