Out of all the days of the year, today just had to be the day that I had to wake up early. It's not for anything special, it's the reason why summer had to end. The first day of school. I can honestly say that nothing can be worse than school. I could just...
"Annabel, I told you to go get a shower 15 minutes ago, and you're still in bed."
"But mom, why can't school start later, like at 10:00?"
"Because you need to learn new things, and I bet that this year is going to be even better. Now get up and go take a shower."
" Will you make me breakfast?"
"Yes Annabel, I'll make you breakfast."
"Okay, thanks mom!" I say as I grab my clothes and go to my bathroom. It's this shade of green that I love. It's basically my favorite color ever.
When I finally finished getting dressed, I looked into my mirror. I'm wearing a black shirt and a skirt that has pastel mini flowers on it. I curled my auburn hair and do a half up, half down hair do. I'm not exactly a girly-girl, but more of choose-your-style type of girl.
Once I got back to my room, I grab my favorite pair of boots and lace them up.
After breakfast, I check my iPhone. I have 3 message from my best friend, Dylan. We've been best friends since 1st grade. He's like my big brother.
Dylan: Hey.
Dylan: "Happy" first day of school.
Me: U2.
Dylan: Are you gonna ride the bus?
Me: yeah I get on before you. c u there.
I look at the time. 6:40. I have to be on at 6:45. I grab my backpack and yell,"BYE MOM" as I leave.
As soon as I get on the bus, I sit in my usual seat. I take out my notebook and write a bit. I look up to notice a new face to the bus. He has brown hair with Amber hilights and his eyes are hazel, just like Dylan's. He sits in the seat across from me. I keep writing. Finally, Dylan gets on and he sits next to me. We talk for a few minutes. I notice the guy is looking at me. I try to ignore him.
When we got to school, I went to my hangout spot, one of the big oak trees. I started writing when I saw the same guy look at me, but now, he spoke.
"Why were you trying to ignore me on the bus?"
"I, uh, I..."
"Oh, sorry, my name is Calvin. I'm new to this town."
"Hey, I'm Annabel."
He was about to say something, and then the bell rang."Do you know where theatre is?"
What! He's taking theatre too! It's going to be a long day.
