First Day of School- Nelson

Y/N's Pov

I bolted awake at 5:30 AM, the early morning light creeping through the curtains. I stretched my arms over my head and groaned, feeling the weight of anxiety settle in my stomach. Today was the first day of school, and I couldn't shake the butterflies fluttering around inside me.

I reached for my phone, already knowing what I needed to do. A bright smile crept onto my face as I typed a quick message to Nelson: "Good morning, cutie! First day jitters are hitting hard. Wish you were here! ❤️" I hit send and felt a small wave of comfort wash over me. Even though he was homeschooled, I knew he would respond soon.

After I sent the message, I dragged myself out of bed and shuffled to the bathroom. A warm shower awaited me, and as the water took over me, I tried to calm my racing thoughts. I took my time, letting the steam envelop me, allowing my mind to wander. I thought of Nelson, of how supportive he had been over the past year. Even though we were different in so many ways, he always understood what I felt.

As I got out of the shower, I wrapped myself in a fluffy towel and returned to my room. Looking through my closet, I settled for a random pair of shorts and one of Nelson's oversized shirts. I loved wearing his clothes; they made me feel close to him, like I was carrying a piece of him with me, even if he wasn't physically there.

Setting up my camera, I pressed record, launching into my GRWM (Get Ready with Me) video. As I began my skincare routine, put on some makeup, and fixing my braids (curls, straight, etc.) I started chatting, addressing my audience and, in a way, myself. "Alright, so today is the big day. First day of school. I'm so nervous, you guys! What if I trip? What if I can't find my classes? Ugh..." I sighed, trying to breathe through the anxiety. Talking about it helped, even a little.

Once I finished up, I checked the time: 6:48 AM. Yikes, I was running a bit late! I quickly scurried into my closet once more, swapping my casual setup for a more put-together outfit: some jean shorts, a bold Tyler, the Creator graphic tee, and my trusty black and white Adidas shoes. I added some simple ankle socks and grabbed my backpack, giving myself a quick once-over in the mirror.

Just as I finished packing my lunch, my phone buzzed. It was Nelson. "Hey! You ready?" His voice was like an instant calm, making the nerves feel a little less overwhelming.

"Not quite! I'm just finishing packing my lunch," I replied, my heart feeling lighter just hearing him.

"Don't worry too much about it. You're gonna crush it!" he encouraged. I could almost see the smile on his face through the phone.

"Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes. Wish you could be there with me!" I said, glancing around my room to make sure I had everything.

"Me too! Just text me throughout the day, okay? I want to hear all about it!"

"Of course! I'll miss you!" I said, feeling my chest tighten at the thought of leaving him behind for the day.

After our call had ended, I made my way downstairs, saying quick goodbyes to my sisters. My mom was already waiting by the door, ready to drive me to school. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for whatever awaited me. As I left the house, I thought of Nelson and felt a bit of his courage sending me off.

As the sun peeked through my bedroom window, I rolled over and glanced at the clock—6:00 AM. I held my phone close, half-expecting it to buzz with a message from Y/N. I knew how anxious she felt about the first day of school, and I just wanted to be there for her.

Sure enough, it lit up. *Good morning, cutie! First day jitters are hitting hard. Wish you were here! ❤️* My heart warmed at her message. I quickly typed back, "Good morning! I know you're going to do amazing! I wish I was there too. Just be yourself!"

After hitting send, I lay back in bed for a moment, hearing the sounds of her getting ready in the background through the wall. It reminded me how different we were—me, the kid who was homeschooled and sat at home learning through a screen, and her, the one diving into a bustling school environment. But it also made me proud. Y/N was such a brave soul, facing her fears while I was more comfortable in my bubble.

I smiled to myself, imagining her joking about her nerves, sharing her excitement and worries while making a GRWM. It was so Y/N—authentic and real. I thought about how I'd love to surprise her at school someday. Maybe I could join her years down the line.

I imagined her getting ready, trying on different outfits, and hoping they would make her feel good. I hoped she liked the shirt I gave her. I could picture it on her—comfy, oversized, and perfect for her. I could almost see her excited expression as she filmed, knowing just how cute she looked.

Finally, I got up and got ready for the day, even though I wouldn't be going anywhere special. I decided to send her another message, letting her know I'd be thinking about her all day. "Just remember, I'm rooting for you! Text me whenever!" After sending it off, I settled down at my desk for another day of learning, my thoughts drifting back to her.

Throughout the day, I found myself checking my phone way too often, waiting for updates about her day. I wished desperately to share those experiences with her, excitement rushing through me at the idea of us conquering school together someday. I couldn't wait to hear how her day went, to be the support she needed.

By the time she got home, I'd be waiting for all her stories, ready to embrace her with open arms and reminding her just how amazing she truly was. I knew she'd be fine, but I couldn't help but worry a bit. After all, when it came to Y/N, she meant everything to me.

The first day of school was just a stepping stone, one of many moments we'd share, and I was ready for it all.
