Monday May 3rd 6:54 AM-

We just pulled up into the school grounds. The big sign saying, "Welcome to Preston High School, home of the Bears." This was all just so different. Me and Jackson where dead silent for the whole car ride. We kinda lost communication ever since the divorce. He parked his old Station Wagon and said "bye Em try not to embarrass yourself". "Thanks for the wonderful advice" I said sarcastically. I opened the creaky door and slammed it shut. I turned back hoping Jackson could just take me home, but he left. I just stood there for 2 minuets all alone. I finally took a deep breath and walked through the school doors. It was so crowded inside, way more than my old school. Groups and cliques of students were filling the halls. Then there's me in my own little world. I looked like everyone was looking at my, why? Do I look wired to them, am I fitting in well? I slowly walked over to this long blue bench. I took out my phone and earbuds, played some Fall Out Boy. More people kept coming in and the school got so loud. I turned off my music, couldn't even hear it. Then the bell rang. I didn't even know where to go! Shit im lost on the first day of school. I pulled out my schedule "room 221 - 1st period English". I ran upstairs searching the hall like crazy. I found it and ran inside. I was 5 minuets late. "Why are you late to my class?" This tall old lady said. I guess she's my teacher. "I - I - got lost I'm so-". She interrupted me "sit down". The class stared at me some even laughed. How am I going to survive?
