How I Met Myself

Chapter 1

"Elena dear! Its time to wake up or you'll be late for school."

"Five more minutes..." And i was sleeping again.

"But honey, you can't afford that...its your first day, remember?"

"Okay okay, i'm up", i rubbed my eyes and smiled up at my mom.

After kindly returning it, she hurried out of my room. Probably so that she could make me breakfast.

Sitting up straight, i started my morning routine.

"I am Elena Hemsworth. I am 17 years old. I live in Sakagawea. I have a dog names Rufus." I chanted.

From the past month, i have been having therapy. Apparently, i was in a very severe car crash. I was driving down our main street when a truck driver rammed his vehicle into my side. I had been in coma for about a month. The doctors almost gave up on me but luckily i woke up. Unluckily, it was soon discovered that i had no recollection, whatsoever, of anything. Nope. Nothing. Not even my name!

Anyways, back to the present please! Im already out of time...

I dont really remember what school was like. When i told this to my therapist, she said that i will be able to learn quickly and that school might help me get glimpses into my old memory.

Yeah, yeah....i do have a chance of getting my memory back, but then again, its a chance. I don't want to get my hopes up...

"Honey? Are you ready? Do you need help with something?"

Uh-oh... I got off-track again! Curse me and this memory problem!

"Nah, thanks. I'll be downstairs in a minute. I just...got off-track.."

I quickly wore my clothes; a dark pair if skinny jeans and a cute white top. I slid into my sneakers and wore some casual jewelery. Putting my hair into a messy ponytail, i ran downstairs. Thank god i'm fast or else i would never have been able to keep up, no thanks to my memory problemo...

My mom handed me my food. "Okay honey, here is what you need to do," mom had to tell me, a 17 year old, what a student has to do at school. Just awesome.

I guessed she sensed my mood because now she said "You don't need to do this right now Elena..."

No. I refuse to be left behind by my age-mates. Today will be my first day of school (that i'll remember). Period.

"No...i have to go. Its just that i'm nervous. I'm pretty sure i'll survive the day though...." I joked, trying to lighten the mood.

"As you wish sweetie....Anyways, as i was saying earlier, when you go to school, head straight to the main office. I've told them about your situation. They will give you a timetable and assign you a locker. That's about it. Ask help from a teacher or a classmate if you get...um.."

"If my memory fluctuates?" I asked bittey.

"Uh..yeah, that...."

"Ahan..okay. Thanks. I've got to go now so bye! Take care." I smiled widely and gave her a little peck on the cheek. She froze. Its weird, she always does that when i show her some sort of affection...

"Bye honey! Have a nice day! Make some friends!"

"Sure will!"

I ran to the nearest bus stop. The bus had just arrived and i was the first one to get in. I choose a seat by the window and sat down. I plugged my headphones in, remembering my therapist said something about it helping my memory. I don't really believe what she said but nevertheless, i enjoyed it. Music was one of the best things ever invented. It fell second under that category, right after food of-course!

After the bus had filled, it headed to our school. The butterflies in my stomach were fluttering furiously with anxiety and i could just hope to pass the day without me having to puke my guts out.

The school was huge. It was a big red-brick building with transparent windows. You could'nt see inside them though, the shutters hid that from you. There were big, lush green grounds around the building. I already planned to eat my lunch outside on one of those comfy looking benches under the shady trees.

I think its safe to say that i will definetly like this place. Eveything was white and spotlessly clean inside. Posters were hung on walls and there was a banner hanging off the ceiling which welcomed all students. This brought a smile to my face despite the blind butterflies in my stomach.

I asked for directions and made my way to the office.

There was an elderly lady sitting at a little wooden desk. When she noticed my presence, she smiled gently.

"You're Elena Hemsworth, right?"

"Yeah" now i smiled a bit.

She gave me my timetable, locker code and a school map.

I made my way too my locker and began to fill it. I was almost done when someone, a boy i think, began shouting.

Everybody turned to look his way. As far as i could see, the boy was of my age with shaggy dark hair and hazel eyes. He was shouting someone's name...Rachel, i think..

He ran right up to me and crushed me in a bone-cracking hug.

"Aw Rach! You have no idea how much i missed you! Why haven't you been picking up my phone calls!?!"

"Excuse me?" I was seriously confused now. Since all the attention was on us, the butterflies in my stomach had transformed into bats. Purely blind bats.

"Hey! Don't give me the cold shoulder... What did i do now?" He pulled back and looked at me with a curious puppy expression.

"I'm not Rachel...or whoever you think i am..." Then i streched out my right hand. "Im Elena. Elena Hemsworth."

"I'm..I'm Dwayne..Dwayne Right..."

"Nice to meet you Dwayne. I smiled a friendly smile up at him.

He murmured something that sounded really close to 'this is unbelieveable' under his breath. After that he shook my hand and grinned. "Well, its nice to meet you too. Dear old best friend.."

Best friend? The guy is a mental case! I just told him that i ain't Rachel!

"Dude! Im not Rachel. Im Elena. E.L.E.N.A."

"Whatever you say...im giving you a nickname and that would be Rach."

I murmured 'stubborn' under my breath. Unfortunately he heard that and instead of getting angry, he just laughed it off. Weird. "That was supposed to be an insult you know..."

He choose to ignore this and instead said, "Come on, we need to get you to class or else you'll be getting detention on your first day..."

I sighed but followed. Something was telling me i could trust this guy...
