AMELIA
First day at a new school, terrific.
At least it's public school this time. Is that a good thing?
I have no idea at this point.
I mean, hey, less preppy rich kids, more violence, more people.
Guess we'll find out. Heh..
'Welcome to Bridgeton Highschool' the cream carved wording on the building said.
"Woo hoo, I don't wanna be here..."
"Me either."
"Aah! Oh, who are you?"
I turn to see a girl about my height, with short, brown hair cut a little under her shoulders.
"Oh, sorry, Hi, I'm Viola," she threw on a smile and stretched her hand out to shake mine.
I took it.
"Nice, I'm Amelia."
"So, why are you looking at the wording and saying you don't wanna go in?
"I just moved schools again and don't know if I want to enter the dangers of public school."
"Hmm, yeah, me either."
"You're new too?"
"Hmm? Oh no, pfft, no, I just don't like school."
"Yeah, well, I can't get a B on a paper without getting a talk about how it's 'unacceptable'.
"Ahh, good ole' strict, 'perfect daughter' complex."
"YuP, heh.. it sucks.." I deadpanned.
"Yeah, my mine's a single mom with two kids just trying to make sure we don't kill ourselves."
"Hmm, I should probably get to class."
"Oh yeah, you should, got your schedule?"
"Oh, yeah, they sent it to me,"
I pulled it out of my backpack and handed it to her."Looks like we've got five out of eight classes together, including your first, I could walk you there if you want?"
"Oh my gosh, thank you. Yes please!"
"Follow me, Princess."
I followed her up the long winding stairs til we got to a door with generic teacher-y sayings.
We took our seats with thank goodness our teacher let us pick them, she seems pretty cool.
I looked around at my new environment, and it definitely was... something alright.
It looked like high school movies but way crappier and smelled like teen sweat and what I assume to be some sort of vape or- yeah no there's a guy vaping out of his water bottle.
Great
There were weird water looking stains on the ceiling, some very old gum under the tables and like- a lot of hair and fuzz .
When was the last time this place was cleaned?
"I see you've started to explore the wonders of public school!"
I chuckled. "Yup, definitely.. wonderful.
"Yeah, you get used to it."
" I can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing." I said, chuckling slightly and racing an eyebrow.
"Hmm, neither can I?"
"Alright, class, today we are going to review the safety regulations and some general expectations then a free day. Sound good? I don't care we're doing it." Fun.
