Today was my first day at the new school my mother enrolled me in. Being an only child with married parents meant going to private schools, so this public school setting was all new to me. At my old school we had uniforms but things were different at public schools.
Public schools has it's own stereotype like everyone tries their best to out do the other.
Since my parents divorced and I had to pack up my life to move here and my mom kind of eased up on me, so now she lets me wear what I want but as long as it's not too crazy looking.
I wore my hair down and added some gloss to my lips. I didn't know what to expect from this school or the people there so I didn't dress up to much but I also didn't look crazy. I sighed. This was already too much.
I wasn't a people's person. I was very much in my own world all the time and I blended in nicely almost invisible and that was how I liked it.
"Isis, hurry up okay. You can't be late on your first day."
I had on a black dress with some panda dunks and my book bag.
"I'm coming."
I mumbled. I begged her to find a private school here, but she insisted on me coming out of my shell. I grabbed my keys from my vanity and made my way downstairs. I didn't want breakfast and I wasn't going to stop for anything.
I only knew where home, school and my new job was. I was going to start working part time at a grocery store so that I could have my own money. My mom and dad provides for me but it's something about having my own money that makes me feel better.
"I'll see you later, have a good day at school."
I nodded walking out of the door.
"And Isis?" I turned on my heels to look at my mother.
"Honey try to cheer up, make friends!" I sent her a thumbs up before getting into my car. I rolled my eyes at the thought of it.
My mother was always concerned about the amount of time I spent alone. I never really did the friends thing because people thought I was weird. Or they just didn't speak to me long enough for me to speak back.
I placed my head on the steering wheel for a while. I never ditched school, but I was seriously considering it right now. Most people called me a prude or a geek. That's fine because they don't know me and I don't intend on proving anyone wrong because I knew me.

I could feel eyes on me as I parked my car into a parking spot. No one actually knew me but they whispered as if I was the schools whore. I didn't pay any attention to it. Instead I got out of my car grabbed my things and my schedule and headed inside the school.
