It's Bittersweet (Mikey Murphy)

Chapter 3

Emily's POV

the next day i woke up earlier than everyone else. it was my first day at Lincoln high school and i wanted to look nice. you can say I'm excited but I'm really nervous. i grabbed an outfit for today and headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

when i got out i dried up and put on my selected outfit. which was a pair of black skinny jeans, a black spaghetti strap tank top, and a thin blue hoodie over it. simple but i don't care. i dried my hair and walked back to my room. i grabbed my backpack and did a quick check to make sure i had everything.

binder- check

paper- check

pencils/pens- check

books- check

ipod- check

earphones- not check

where did i leave them. i looked around my room for my earphones and finally found them on the window seat. probably when i was reading last night and i was listening to music. i put them in my backpack and walked downstairs where i started to hear everyone already awake. i smiled as i saw Mrs Logan making pancakes.

"Hey Emily you hungry?" she asked flipping a pancake onto a plate and putting it in front of me. i thanked her and took a seat next to Nathaniel. i ate in silence before Mr. Logan walked downstairs in a suit fixing his tie.

"sorry I'm in a hurry i cant stay and eat." he said giving Mrs Logan a peck on the lips as she passed him his briefcase and lunch and he walked out the door.

"ok so agenda for today." Mrs Logan said turning the stove off and i walked over to the sink and washed my plate. "Nate you have a baseball practice after school and a game tomorrow night."

"yea i was going to ask you if i can have some people over if we win?" he asked

"yea that's fine with me i will tell your father. and Emily i will drive you to school so we can get your schedule." she said and i nodded. she said i had five more minutes so i ran upstairs to brush my teeth and fix my hair. i took one last look in the mirror and went to my room to get my backpack. i hear Mrs. Logan call for me downstairs and i follow her out to the car.

we got to the school and i was sitting in the office while Mrs. Logan was signing some papers for the office lady. i looked around the room and saw a bunch of those cheesy educational posters. there was also stuff about the school, principal, staff, and students.

the main door opening took me out of my thoughts. i looked over to see who came in and it was a boy. the same boy i saw across the street yesterday. he smiled at me before turning to the free office lady and he signed him in late and gave him a late slip.

"hold on Mr. Murphy." a deep male voice boomed from the other side of the office. i turned in the direction and i see a tall middle aged man. i assume he is the principal by the way he is dressed. i look back over at the boy and he slowly backed away from the door leading out to the hall.

"hey Mr. Garcia." he said smiling fixing his glasses.

"this is the fifth time you are late this week." he said "i have no choice but to take away your junior activities." he said walking back to his office.

"no Mr. Garcia i will do anything else, i have been looking forward to these activities." he begged and i hid my smile. Mr Garcia looked at him sternly then over to me .

"ok i wont take away your activities but on one condition." the boy nodded. "you have to serve detention at lunch and,"

"what but-" he started but Mr. Garcia cut him off.

"and you have to give Ms. Logan a tour of the school. she is new here and i want you to help her find her classes." he finished and the boy looked over at me. i just looked at my shoes. he agreed and waited for Mrs. Logan to sign me in. she said goodbye and i was left with the boy and Mr. Garcia.

"here you go Ms. Logan this is your schedule." Mr. Garcia said handing me a paper that finished printing. i took it and looked over what classes i had.

1-Math

2-PE

3- English

4-History

5- Spanish

6-Science

7-film and computer design

ok so they weren't all that bad. he passed the boy a hall pass and i followed him into the now empty halls. "oh I'm Mikey by the way." he said extending his hand.

"Emily" we shook hands and he took my schedule.

"oh nice we have 1st, 2nd, 5th and 7th period together." he said looking it over. he handed it back to me and showed me around the halls. he took me to my locker and i put in some textbooks and put the lock on it. Mikey seems like a nice guy. but i would like to get to know him better.
