As i opened my eyes to the rising sun i turned off my alarm. Today was my first day of senior year, And my first day at my new highschool.

Usually first days of school you'd be nervous & afraid but not I, I was never the type of person to want to be around people or have friends. Honestly i really didn't even like school.

I was going for my mom though. Her wish was for me to atleast get through highschool unlike she did, She became pregnant with me at 16 and never got to finish her highschool degree.

As i hopped out of bed a slipped on my slippers i walked into the bathroom of the two bedroom apartment me and my mom stayed in. Although it was small it was manageable, I started the shower and started undressing.

As me and my mother drove in silence i began thinking about the horrible teachers & annoying officials i would have to deal with. Up until now my mom home schooled me and i was perfectly fine with it.

As we came to a stop I realized we had reached my new school, It was a sea of black kids but as I looked closer it was one singular white boy. Usually you would barely come across white people in atlanta but it wasn't completely out of the ordinary.

My mom put the car in park in front of the school, and looked at me. Already knowing how this lecture was going to go I rolled my eyes.

"This your last year, Ladybug." She said calling me
by my childhood nickname and taking my hands in hers.

"Im proud of you and i knew you could do it, One more year for me, Okay?" Nodding my head and putting on my Airpod Maxes , I stepped out of the car and closed the door.

Pulling my black covid mask up I walked up to the schools front doors and pushed them open.

I walked up to the front desk and waited in the short line to get my schedule. Slowly people started filing in behind me and the line became longer.

"Name?" The women behind the glass asked me as she looked up from her computer.

"Mallory Brown, Twelfth grade." I said pulling out my phone to start scrolling as I already knew today would be full of ice breakers and nothing truly important.

"Here's your schedule , your home room is 426." She said as she handed me a paper.

Walking away from the line I headed toward the student elevator , even though it was only meant to be used by 12th graders somehow there were always any types of students in them.

As the elevator opened myself and a few other piled into it, Pressing the FIFTH FLOOR the button lit up and the elevator began to move.

As I made it to my floor I scooted my way out the double elevator doors and followed the numbers up until 426 , I pushed the door open and was met with a million eyes staring up at me.

" Welcome in, name?" A man said from behind his desk and computer , which I could only assume was our teacher.

"Mallory." I said finding an empty seat in the back and putting my bookbag on the back of my seat.

Class didn't start for another 10 minutes so I turned up my music and begun scrolling on my phone.

As the teacher stood up and began writing stuff on the board student gradually began to put their stuff away and listen.

As I slid my headphones back into my bag I looked up to see the same pale boy I'd seen in front of the building earlier.

He walked slowly with his head down and slumped into the seat infront of me.

As the teacher began introducing himself and what would be doing for class I put my head onto my
hand and slowly began to close my eyes.

As I felt a tap on my desk I lifted my head up to see MR. JONES standing over me.

"Class is over, It's time for your next period."

Nodding my head I stretched and got my bookbag, I collected my stuff and headed for the door.

Looking at my schedule I realized I only had about four classes and an early dismissal.

I walked towards the elevator seeing my next class was in room 227.
