Hi! My name is Ariel. I'm 17 year old. I just gained Admission into Neville high school; an elite school. I come from a family of four, my mom[ Mrs Williams], my two older brothers [ Daniel and Philip] aged 20 and 18 respectively. We're a middle class family. Dad died in a motor accident on his way home from work.
        He worked at Neville meds and Co.As compensation, his boss, Mr Nelson, offered Philip and I a scholarship in Neville high school. Philip would be starting as a second year student while I will be starting as a first year student.

****First day of school****
Ariel p.o.v
Time: 6:00a.m
Grrrriiiiiinng!!!!
     
        I wasn't exactly asleep.i was excited and nervous. Schooling with those rich kids is not gonna be easy. I'm just thinking of ways I'm gonna use to blend in.
          "Ariel!!!"
That's my mom. That shows she's reminding to me to go and shower.
       "I know mom! I'm going to shower right away" I yelled so she could hear me.
         I came downstairs and met Philip and Daniel at the table. Daniel works at a restaurant. He's going to college next four months. My mum owns a mini Mart.

Ariel: Philip,are you excited?
Philip: not really, I heard rich kids are snobbish.
Ariel: Yeah, I heard that too. I'm just gonna be myself.
Mom: yes Ariel, behave properly, I don't want any brawl. That applies to you too, Phil.
Ariel & Philip: Yes mom.
Daniel: and.......{we cut in}
Ariel & Philip: do not be influenced by the bad ones.

Everyone laughed. That is Daniel's usual saying. We're all used to it.

***At school***
     Immediately mom dropping us off, Philip disappeared into the school premises like he was already used to the place leaving me by myself.
     Scumbag! We agreed to stick together. I stood still as a statue at the gate. A girl wearing spectacles walked up to me:

Girl: Hi! I'm Fiona. I was watching you since. I guess you're new.
Ariel: hello. I'm Ariel. It's nice to meet you.
Fiona: Ariel from the book? Ariel the mermaid?
Ariel: {laughs} Yeah, all that is left is my red hair and tail.
          {Fiona laughs}
Fiona: come, let's go ask the bursar which class you're in.

     We went together to the bursary. The bursar was nice woman: Mrs rose.
Still haven't met one of those "spoilt and snobbish kids"
    I was put in class 1A. Luckily, Fiona was in the same class with me and she didn't have a seat partner. Jackpot! That solves a lot for me.
