I am a complete nervous wreck. Today is the introduction day of my new school, year eleven. I'm starting senior high and I couldn't be more nervous, I want to bring my assistance dog but mum says no. I won't need him, however I think I will, I can feel that familiar tight feeling in my chest, however I do prefer this uniform to my last schools.
The skirt and tights feel better than knee high socks you had to roll down to your ankles and the uncomfortable pinafore, god I hate pinafores. I finish getting ready while mum finishes getting the dogs sorted, Simba, roo and Maggie all stay out the back while we are gone while cherry and Darcy stay inside in my bedroom, cherry and Maggie don't get along because they are both girls.
Cherry is a long story on how we got her so I will get into that later, Millie we got through a rescue centre and simba is my assistance dog, roo and Darcy are his sons. Roo is a apricot miniature poodle however he is meant to be a toy and we don't know how he grew to be a miniature, Darcy is a white poodle (a toy and hopefully he stays a toy) and simba is a red toy poodle and cherry is also a red toy poodle while Millie is a wire haired fox terrier. I love all of my dogs.
As I finish getting ready and heading downstairs I take a deep breath as I look in the mirror, the darker colours of the uniform make me more comfortable, I'm comfortable in dark colours and this uniform is a nice navy dark navy blue and the tights are a slightly lighter navy.
Now I just have to wait for the right time to leave.
...
When we get to the senior high it's a lot. It's packed, it's all year elevens here and it makes me wonder how big this school actually is. We were told to go to the main hall, this place is like a maze. I could so get lost in here, easily.
I stay close to mum as she's talking to a lady however I don't recognise her, we are walking to the hall and I hate how packed it is here. It's making me extra claustrophobic. Once we get to the hall it's slightly less packed and I can finally breathe a little, we move towards the back of the hall, I'm constantly looking around for my best friend, Jessie, however I can't see her.
Mums talking to someone again and this time I recognise the person but I don't know where from, suddenly once the whole place has calmed down and everyone is seated or standing a woman, the vice principal starts speaking, Mrs hall, she starts talking a load of nonsense and me and mum are laughing about it, along with the woman mum is talking with.
It's stupid, it's as if we have never heard any of this before when we have. When this lady is finished another one steps up, this time the principal. She's called miss chan. And she also starts talking a load of nonsense. More nonsense that we make fun off.
Not long after our names and classes are being called, however the microphone is playing up so we can just about hear our names being called. Once I think my names being called I end up following a boy I know, who's name was just called before mine. Ambrose mcclaren. We end up going with a male teacher who goes by mr will. He's tall and wears shorts and a t-shirt.
We brings us down to a class room, it seems to be a art classroom, I notice one of my friends from junior high and I'm so glad that I saw her.
"Oh my god, stay with me please" I say to her, Eloise is confident and always has been, she's very comfortable within herself and she might be the one thing keeping me grounded, she seems to be the only person I feel comfortable with and know here, except all the boys. And I ain't hanging around them, they are all assholes.
"Of course I will!" She says, looking just as relieved as I am to see someone familiar. Glad to know I'm not the only one who's worried here. We sit at the front of the classroom and listen to this man introduce himself.
Then the dreaded game that all teachers seem to love, the introduction game. Shoot me right now, I hate this game and I think everyone does. It's awful, why do teachers play this game?. What's the need for it?. None. None whatsoever. It's awful and ignites anxiety in everyone.
One I introduce myself I take a deep breath as I begin to play with my bracelets, I have two nomination bracelets that I wear at all times and when I'm getting too anxious I pull them back and snap them against my wrist, it calms me that why I do it. My mum even told me to do it and it works.
Mr will begins to go over the rules for school, you know your typical no drugs, no fizzy drinks, no this no that. Your basic stuff that you get told not to do all the dang time. I can't wait for this to be over.
...
Once we get to meet with our parents again I find my mum, she's talking with two ladies who are also waiting for two people. Next minute a tall boy walks up beside us, I'm later told this is my third cousin Luke, then a girl joins us, another third cousin called Paris.
"So how did you find it?" Mum asked as we walked out the school gates.
"It was ok, I met Eloise there" i said, smiling up at her, she has this relieved look on her face.
"At least you knew someone, want a subway on the way home?" Mum asked, and I instantly nodded. Of course I want a subway. I need something to eat and then to go home.
