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.
