New Beginnings

Day 1

*hello! I'm a new creator on Wattpad! Here to share my writing! If you're reading then thank you!*

-Melody-

This year isn't going to go as planned. That was all I could think as I stared at my new 'beloved school' or so her parents wanted her to believe. 

I stare at the double doors of the brick school that was already haunting my mind. Crazy things happen in schools.

Not crazy like Percy Jackson crazy. Yes, I know. "Ew you like Percy Jackson?" We yes! Yes I do. You can't change that at all. Well back to the topic. Those wretched doors.

I slowly make my way up those stairs that adults say are welcoming. My hair decides to be an absolute jerk and blow into my face, so I grab a hair tie and put it into a simple pony tail. Once I  was absolutely sure that I wouldn't make a fool of myself I put my hands into my jean pockets. Then continued my march towards the prison life of school. I mean have you seen schools? Absolute prison. The food: prison food. Restrooms: gotta wish for permission. Work: yes. eight straight hours of it. The only difference is that you are able to go back to a house no matter how terrible it is.

That's when I heard it. The screaming of the bell as it dawned on me that I was absolutely late for class. I curse through my teeth as I speed along the halls that I don't understand of the least. Oh the troubles of seventh grade. I whip down a hall and realized I didn't know which classroom I was going to. I speedily pull out my schedule which is written on a bleached sheet of dead tree. Mr.Williams, room 125. I looked up at the closest door to me and I whisper under my breath,"damn it." I'm only at room 109! So with little time I had, I ran down the halls hoping I was getting close to room 125 rather than room 101. 

I reach Mr. Williams door in a flurry of pencils and paper flying and I scan the room to find only students inside the residence of the bedroom sized classroom. I sigh in relief and quickly grab my belongings in hope nobody will pay the least of attention towards me, and I make my way to the back of the classroom where there is a little bit of darkness. I cross my arms and lay my head in the nest of them,"Today's going to be a great day."

I listen as someone decides to make the chair right beside me their home, resting for their things. The small squeal of the chair that wouldn't typically annoy people but annoyed the hell out of me for reasons I can't explain. I look out the corner of my eye to see who chose to sit beside me rather than the cool kids. Was that a smile? Who has the energy to smile on a Monday? The girl stuck out her hand to shake my hand. Oh no! physical contact. I wanted to growl in her face so she would look at me as a weirdo and leave. Though I decided that wouldn't really help me in the future so I silently took her hand for a light shake. I stared at her silently and the girl spoke,"oh yeah! Hello! I'm Luna!"This time I was able to tell immediately that this girl was never going to leave her alone even if she growled. Why the hell are the extroverts always drawn to me like lost puppies.

Stalling is my only tactic here. The longer I wait, the longer she doesn't have to learn my name. Which means the longer she won't turn on me and use me for bullying, though I realize I can't really stall any longer so I respond with a quiet,"I'm Melody." Luna had a stupid laughing smile on her stupid face, "You mean like a part of a song? That's cool." In all honesty I was really close to snapping back that her name was the fucking moon and that she should stay as far away from me as the moon is from Neptune, then I realized that wasn't very kind. Cause my top priority is definitely to make friends. Definitely. 

Luna grinned as she looked around the classroom jittery. She then looked back at me curiously,"Well, what hobbies do you have?" I pause for a moment and every aspect of my life as faded in seconds. I plaster a calm look on my face in hopes she won't realize I'm panicking, "Don't people usually ask what your favorite color is first? Like isn't that the default question?" Luna gave a smug smile,"And so what? Maybe I just felt like being different today." Luna made an act to whip her shiny reddish hair as she looked away. I accidentally let on a laugh and commented,"Ok leprechaun."

Luna whipped her head around to stare at me with those beautiful grass green eyes, kinda wanna get lost in the fields to see if I can find patches of dirt. Whoa! Where did that come from? Luna made a point to make herself look angry, when it was very obvious to me that she struggles with those types of emotions. For once in my life I found it seriously hard to hold back a smile, Luna is using witchcraft. How dare she. While around us there was somehow chaos for a Monday. I stared at broken pencils being thrown through the air as a kid screamed at another kid for stealing his eraser. Then they went to fake kiss and started laughing. I stared at a group of kids under the clock and watching their watches and glimpsing at the door excitedly as though they were about to bolt for an escape. 

I turn back to Luna to make sure she doesn't think I'm ignoring her but turns out she wasn't even speaking. Luna stared at me for a moment then spoke"I see what you did there-" I smile on accident and pull out a penny from my backpack ,"What? Did I take your pot of gold on accident?" Luna smacked my arm as I started laughing,"stop it. You dodged my question." Luna cracked a smile and she started laughing with me and she spoke through tears,"Stole my pot of gold? Not my gold! return immediately!"

"Never!"

Once we stopped laughing I decided to answer her question,"writing and drawing." Luna looked at me in utter confusion until she realized that I had finally answered the question she had asked ages ago. I lean back in my chair as I kick at my bag instead of kicking the table cause I don't think it would be nice to move it away from us when Luna is sitting here. 

Luna smiled,"I personally like reading." I nodded as I processed that information. I like reading! I really do. I just sometimes have struggle doing it. I have no utter control of anything the characters do! Like they do such stupid things but I can't do anything to stop them. Though I have been able to read some books but I struggled sometimes by stopping mid book and trying to read another instead of finishing the first one. I have no problem with writing books though because I have control over everything. If I randomly want to give a character trauma then boom! That character is now the most traumatized character in the book. I worry about stuff when I'm not in absolute control. With books that is.

Those kids in the corner of the classroom started jumping up and down as they counted,"10! 9! 8! 7! 6!" They were cut off with a man,most likely Mr.Williams, whipping into the classroom out of breath. I started wondering if I had in fact looked like that when I came into the classroom.

I watched as Mr Williams laughed and spoke a second later,"Nope ain't happening this year." He clearly has a country accent but you have to be looking for it. I luckily am always looking for it. Mr. Williams smiled,"Everyone please get to your seats." I sat there when it dawned on me, I have no idea what class this is at all. I looked around and immediately knew that this was math. Amazing.

Math hates me. No worries though cause I hate it too. 

Luna started laughing randomly and I realized she was laughing at me! Me of all people! I look at her as I try to think of what I did that was so funny,"What? What did I do?" Luna continued laughing,"Your face-" Before she could finish the sentence the projector turned off and Mr. Williams was explaining how the day would go.

*swirly swirly*

I wondered around the halls like a lost puppy looking for Ms. Thompson's class, reading and writing. I love that class. My body decided to run into someone. Amazing. Dam it. They caught me by my arm and lifted me back up from the ground. They laughed and I quickly realized it was a guy,"You okay?" I stared at him silently as I took in his features. Bright blue eyes that had bits of green. Dirty blond hair. He had dimples. He looks cute but I wouldn't date him.

Out of the blue I found myself stammering,"ye-yeah, sorry. I wa-wasn't paying attention-" He laughed,"It's not a problem, by the way I'm Leo! Leo Whitlocke!" I quickly stood up and pulled myself together and formally introduced myself,"I'm Melody, nice to meet you." Leo grinned as he put his hands into his pockets,"Who's your next class?" I paused for a moment,"Mrs.Thomson-" He started grinning,"No way! Me too!" I started due to his enthusiasm. I started walking away as I said my goodbyes,"See yah there." Leo laughed,"There's a chance." I was confused by that but I kept walking.

I sat in the back again and turns out Luna also had Mrs.Thompson as my second period.
I started thinking about my schedule, Mr.Williams, Mrs.Thompson, Mrs.Smith, Mr.White, Ms.Wilson, Mister Davis, and for seventh I have Miss. Riester.

Through each of these classes I wanted to disappear. Or teleport. Though sadly I had no such ability. Or do I?
