When Worlds Collide

The day before

"Yes, Mom, of course, I'll take care of myself. You know how it is in high school, what could possibly happen?" I said to my mom on the phone.

"Okay, honey, good luck on your first day tomorrow. I have to hang up now. Love you," she said.

"Love you too, Mom," I replied, and then I hung up. Tomorrow is my first day at Greenfield High School, and I'm a bit nervous.

To be honest, Tree came up with the idea, but I love it. I enjoy meeting new people and making music with them. I hope the students are excited to meet me. I also need to figure out how many security guards I should bring, certainly, it's not entirely safe at a high school. I think I'll be glad if someone is there to look out for me.

I spent the whole afternoon on my sofa, with my guitar in hand, until my phone rang. I answered the call.

"Am I speaking with Taylor Swift?" came the voice from my phone.

"Yes, exactly, you are speaking with her. Who am I speaking with?" I asked, curious.

"I'm Principal Mr. Parker from Greenfield High School."

"Oh hello, what an honor," I asked. "I just wanted to tell you again how much we are looking forward to your visit. Our school is infinitely grateful that you are coming to us tomorrow for a week," he said in a nice voice.

"Thank you very much. The selection of the school was not easy for me, but I have only heard good things about your school," I responded.

"I am glad to hear that. Thank you very much. I also wanted to let you know that you should be punctual tomorrow. You can then come to my office and collect all your documents."

"Okay, thank you for the information.l see you tomorrow," I said and hung up.
